Unless you specifically tweak the UI to enable really small tabs, which is among the first things I do on a fresh install. Favicon + a small number of pixels for padding, way way less than Google allows me to get away with! Slap on a bunch

Copy+paste has been possible at least since Win2k. But yes, in a very user-unfriendly manner.

As the adage goes... trust is earned, not given. I would not divulge my current/previous salary either.

It looked very intriguing, and I installed it, but the reviews for the Firefox version are really terrible. Just a heads up in case someone should also install the addon, but not catch the bad reviews.

Work places where you'd normally dock a laptop, for example. But I'd rather carry a laptop, quite frankly. While the MouseBox would be far more portable, it would not offer anywhere near the same freedom as a laptop would, and it

You'd practically need an MRI machine to get any real effect.

That's the tactic employed, yes, but that doesn't mean that's why it survived. I'm certain a dedicated goat burner would gladly lob a Molotov cocktail and leg it away from the scene. We'll have to wait and see what

There's definitely precedent for that behavior from Microsoft's side, obvious or not (a certain anti-trust case springs to mind). They have nothing to gain by being obvious about it, and everything to gain by being a whole lot mor

People's mouse grip varies immensely. But the one thing that should be easily controlled, in any reasonable case, is the surface. A mouse mat will often reduce friction greatly, and you can augment your mouse with custom teflon "f

I think the term is small caps. :) In either case, I went for it when I was 15-16, so it's more than half a lifetime ago. The underlying reason was simply that my handwriting was absolutely terrible, and if notes were left for too lo

One of the best things I did personally was to overhaul my shitty handwriting into something I'm actually happy with, and isn't just "how things panned out". I'm saying this because doing such a thing, in your case,

I do, but a very basic kind; ie. Microsoft Security Essentials. That doesn't change my distrust of binaries though, and if I must run things I don't trust, I frequently do it in a VM. But the gist of it is that if I can alleviate

ICQ went down the same path most clients seem to go, ie. it got very bloated. At first it was very bare-bones, with some really pleasant file transfer capabilities. Skype really is history repeating itself. The client is becoming less usabl

> so somehow all those people really DID want another messaging app and even adopted one. Very disingenuous. In terms of ICQ, they were just early to market, had a competent client and... a deeply flawed method of identification. Messeng

Since we're swapping stories of weird bans... I got banned for saying Battlefield != Call of Duty. I have no stake in the matter; I don't play either game. But apparently this was enough to warrant a permanent ban!

Are there any alternatives in the same "range" as Khan Academy?

This only allows for a streaming install. It's without question definitely primarily stored on the individual users' harddrives. Once you've downloaded the textures/models/whatever, you will not be requesting them

> The Bekant—Swedish for “friend” No! For anyone reading it and thinking it's accurate, it's most certainly not, and the author should be ashamed! "Bekant" means "familiar" or "acquainted".

Searching seems to suggest it's a Samsung device, but I haven't tried to locate the manual in order to verify that notion. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=smart+tv+voice+facial+recognition

You could probably find a better way of communicating the location of these repos. A while back I was looking to contribute but my efforts to even find an entry-point were in vain. This wasn't at all aided by the newfangled new-user-in

I'm having a tough time tracking down anybody saying it does, in fact, have memory functionality. That's certainly a feature you'd want to advertise, so it seems reasonable to assume that it doesn't have that particular

Every once in a while, certain people in southern Sweden will go on a booze shopping spree in Germany. They'll drive south, take a ferry to one of the German coastal cities and fill their cars to the limits of what is legal (and oftent

Old tech is certainly tech too, and this definitely manages to impress and fascinate even me, 200 years later.

I don't see why it would be any different in the case of Google; but I don't personally use the Google services to any greater extent these days, so perhaps I'm just not feeling the ramifications ordinary users would.

If you're at all curious, by all means pick the Halo books up, just don't expect too much from them.
