Comment Re:Tree style tabs (Score 1) 507

Nothing bugs me more than wasted real estate on the sides.Tree view tabs, even opening a ton of sites only go down half way then it is empty space to the bottom, in addition to all the websites that have a sidebar on them, like Slashdot. I much rather run with two browsers open side by side, or a browser and anything else rather than using up 1680 wide just for a browser or even worse 1920 and this is with dual monitors as well. I also find it much easier to eat up top or bottom real estate and scroll up and down than to eat up sides and then either have to expand the browser to the full width of my monitor or scroll side to side, one of which is very wasteful and the other just doesn't flow right for me.

Broad strokes here, but most Asian cultures seem to have this answer yes to everything issue, and not just with employees, with customers too. I've explained stuff to Japanese customers and I ask if they understand, the answer is always "Yes", the trick is to get them to explain it back to you and when they fumble you can go over it again, that way they get to save face by not saying "No we do not understand."

The Soviets were some of the worst polluters ever. Not even counting stuff like Chernobyl, you have things like the Aral Sea which was completely devastated and there are a number of abandoned polar nuclear lighthouses, which are as bad as you can imagine.

It doesn't look like Microsoft is charging you 9$ to install this application, it looks like a third party is charging you 9$ to do it and Microsoft doesn;t have a problem with either the application or charging you 9$. If you want to write your own app to do the same thing and release it for free, go right ahead.

Huh, when I go to dot-bit.bit I get server not found, just like the more than 99% of the population that won't be manually adding the dot-bit nameservers to their DNS. If this was the answer, he would just run his own home DNS and tell everyone wanting info from him to add that.

Agreed, I gave up on Cygwin because it crashes too often for my taste and when it crashes in one Cygwin app, it crashes for all Cygwin apps at the same time, so that long script you have running in the background just hosed itself because you just wanted to run a quick little thing.
