Hi, I work at a supercomputer company. A short list of things I know our customers use them for: - secret spy/tla stuff (no i have no idea what they're used for either) - simulating nuclear blasts to know if the bombs we

Can you explain how any of this pertains to a stability problem? Cherry picking features added to each release is... a weird argument in this regard.

Hi, user of OS X from 10.2 to present. It’s a myth. Snow leopard was not some mythical stable release without bugs. Hell it had the remove your home directory bug when logging in as a guest. I’ve personally had no real problems with the rec

I've never been able to get into audiobooks. I listen to podcasts already, and to be honest I find my retention on audible things drastically less than the written word.

Exactly, not showing street names presumes gps works and that its self evident where to go. I don't get why a MAP, won't show street names. Its maddening when you have street signs and have to look around to figure out what street

Sorry, the main process goes to 140%, and about 5 more other firefox processes start chewing up 80% cpu each. I just added them altogether. I have seen it spike to 400% a few times in activity monitor. As to what I'm doing, open up say

Nice! This was my number one issue with Firefox as well. 400% cpu usage with about 40 tabs compared to safari was getting to be too much. Yes I'm one of "those" people. I hoard tabs like they're going out of style.

Family farm. I'd still consider it to be a part of the dairy industry however, we sold milk just like anyone else. There were a few bigger operations around, but they weren't much different.
