  1. Re:"Quick Tab" on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta · · Score: 2, Informative

    The best bit really is that if the browser does crash (and unfortunately, it does at times), when you restart you are pretty much exactly where you left it, including history, so you can use that back button. The only issue you will have is if the site you were browsing has sessions, then it won't necessarily 'just work' - you'll have to log in again. I love that - I've got Session Saver for FireFox. It can save multiple windows of multiple tabs as "one session" and then save multiple sessions - i love it.

    Can we get a couple 'o screen shots from you of OmniWeb's "quick tab" and this workspaces thing? I'm quite interested.

    Exactly, one of my favourite upisodes was the myth about diving underwater to escape gun fire. The shot bullets into the water to see how far it took to slow the bullets down enought to make them non-lethal. The 9mm hadgun took about a dozen feet (as I recall) and the shotgun took about the same. When they moved up to supersonic weapons, the water proved an insurmountable force - stopping the bullets almost instantly, and more, the bullets SHATTERED into hundreds of peices withing the first foot of water. They even tested anti-TANK rifles - huge explosion of water, little fragments of bullet. Proving you could be completly safe from firearms if you slim a couple of feet underwater. Just one of the myths that they proved true.

    alright - I'll clarify: 'half-way mutated' doesn't make sense, it's either mutated or not. Do you know what we would call the animal that's the evolutionary middle man between the gorilla and the chimp? a Gorilla! If the animal isn't 'mutated' enough from animal 'x' to be called animal 'y' then it's STILL animal 'x'. If it could be called ANYTHING other than animal 'x' then it's not a 'middle man' it the 'end man' - a whole other animal. is that clearer?

    Yeah, I knew about that - but i didn't want to go into such detail. I figured keeping it simple was the best idea :)

    You can't pick out an animal that is 'half-way' mutated - that idea is just idiotic. You want a hlf=way mutated animal? How about the Gorilla? Both humans and chimps evolved from gorrilas, and gorillas in-turn evolved from (well, I can't quite recall at this point, but) baboons (or something). You can't just say 'half-mutated' like such a thing exists. Organisms mutate, it's a fact. Over time these mutations change a selection of animals enough for them to be classified as a separate genus (ie: Homo erectus to Homo sapien) and eventually some mutations will lead to completly new species (ie: Gorillas to Humans).

    The soulution is not to re-image the past to look like we knew what to do all along - it's to strive ahead and create new peices that show we've learned.

    Re-writing your first book is the stupidest idea ever. Just write a new one.

    Wow, great job being an asshole. and CNN is much better now than it was a few years ago, but FOX still puts Bill ORilley on TV.
