This is the way conversations work in Gmail. If you notice to the right of each "shadow", as you call it, earlier dates are at the top, and more recent dates are at the bottom -- plus the first two messages have attachments. What you're seeing are obviously the different emails that were sent within the same conversation.
Clicking on the earlier messages in the conversation is only necessary if you need to access the attachments to those messages or if you don't quote the previous message each time you reply. Otherwise, yes, it'll show you duplicate information because you're duplicating the prior information each time you respond.
"Unless this was all done with cash then it is the buyers bank who "owns" the house and the sellers bank who "owned" it before it was sold (if you don't belive me then miss a few morgage payments and see what happens)."
Actually, you're wrong. Financing a house is not like financing a car, where the bank still owns the car and can take it back at any time. When you purchase a house, the title is transferred to you, the owner, immediately.
The mortgage you grant TO the lender simply gives them a security interest in YOUR property, which in turn gives them the right to take legal action against you if you don't pay (i.e. foreclosure), but you are still the legal owner of the property the whole time.
So no, the banks should not be responsible when this type of fraud occurs -- seeing as how it is all based on forged documents, how is the bank supposed to know the difference, anyway? Title insurance covers these claims, at least in the United States.
The thing people like about PayPal is it lets you pay with a credit card. If I buy something using PayPal with a credit card and I don't receive it then one email to my credit card company will see the money returned.
Sure, you can do that, but then you'll get screwed by Paypal. I had an issue where the seller never shipped the item to me, and I first went through Paypal's dispute option in order to get my money back. However, they were either unable or unwilling to give me a refund, so I disputed the charge with my credit card company. Once Paypal got the chargeback, they permanently froze my service until I paid THEM the amount of my chargeback. Give money back to Paypal for an item I never received, and had just disputed? I don't think so. Needless to say, I haven't used them since (nor will I ever).
No, it's not. It's still ONE CPU with all it can do. What HT does is help the OS optimize CPU resources to get the best out of it. If you experience huge boosts using HT it's because the OS is not capable to time-slice its jobs properly, or does it badly. That's exactly what happens with the NT kernel.
Not only have you missed the point, you also apparently didn't read what you quoted, "as far as Windows is concerned...". Let me clarify for you: Although a HT processor is only one physical processor, it DOES appear as two logical processors within Windows. The behind-the-scenes aspects of HOW it works and whether or not it is efficient was not the point. Windows believes there are two processors even though there is only one.
After all, they are the generation that built society and technology to the level where we got it. How did the 'Old Geezers' do that? Dumb Luck?
"To the level where we got it"? That isn't saying much. The vast majority of technical advances have been made within the last 30 years. I do give them credit for what they did "back in their time", but those times are long gone and most of the elderly folk are either incapable or unwilling to stay current with new technology. Let's not even get started on their driving ability....;)
In all fairness, I have worked with many people that were born in the 1920's that were still on top of all the latest tech. But these people are by far the exception rather than the rule.
On another occasion I heard a Geek Squad guy tell an elderly couple that hyperthreading was "like having 2 processors in 1." I nearly flipped my lid, but that's a different story for a different day.
Have YOU ever tried explaining something remotely technical to an elderly couple? I don't blame that guy for giving a half-assed answer. It would be easier than spending an hour explaining a concept that the old geezers would still not understand or even remember the next day. Besides, as far as Windows is concerned, hyperthreading IS like having 2 processors in 1 (even though I'm sure everyone here understands the real way in which it works).
