Foreign multi-nationals that pay taxes on their earnings?

Rarer than hens teeth over here.

What we need to do is serve serious crime notices to the Copyright Cartel. Once we have a proper free market in copyrighted content we can take the money we save and spend it on something useful. Like hospitals or a police force that can afford to pursue real crime.

Quite the opposite, I find.

Tabs grow in a Window in an organic manner, spreading out from the threads that spawned them in a way specific to where and when I encountered them. Not only is it easier to find them but the very patterns that they form contain information about them that would be lost if the were bookmarked or otherwise organised.

I suppose it might be possible to categorize everything that interests me in a way that preserved that information but the effort involved would be significant compared to opening them in a new tab and leaving that tab open until it no longer holds my immediate attention.

I periodically weed my tab collection and close stuff or bookmark it if it seems fitting but the core collection of tabs are pretty consistent.

I find this aids my thought processes. It is so easy to get distracted and forget what one was thinking or reading hours/days/weeks ago, it is immensely helpful to have it all still lying open in front of you exactly where you left it when it first caught your attention.

I can only assume you are joking.

Four or five hundred seems to be the upper bound of the point where Firefox becomes unusable. It crashes so often and operates so slowly that it becomes a log jam.

I am using tabs the way I want to use them.

Seems to me that is exactly what they were designed for, to avoid doing all that fiddly nonsense you have just described.

I could just use Lynx. I don't because it sucks for the way I desire to browse the Web.

I'm telling you that this is how I, and presumably many others, want to use our browsers.

I even suggested that I might even be willing to pay money to see this functionality of browsers improved.

'You're doing it wrong' is a ludicrous and unconstructive response.

Looks like I've got about 240 tabs open at the moment.

That's pretty conservative for me, it's often much worse. I like having my train of thought where I can see it and access it instantly.

It annoys me that it causes so much instability in Firefox, I seem to recall sometime about 4.0 it was supposed to stop hogging memory with inactive tabs, never worked properly unfortunately. Is it really beyond the ken of man to suspend an inactive tab to disk and release the memory?

Mind you, at least they don't do what Chrome does with tab size....

What's interesting is that memory use seems to gradually sky-rocket even if you don't open any extra tabs. I usually have about 3 crashes a day.

I can't be the only one in the world with this use case. Perhaps we should start a Kickstarter to fund sorting it out...

That was a bold statement.

Evidence?

Much as I love Three I should like to point out that their service is filtered, they blacklist 'adult' content. You can 'opt-in' to their 'adult' sandbox but that does not remove the block from anything else.

Also, as I have just learned, only The One Plan allows unlimited tethering. You can buy tethering as an add-on but it has a 2Gb cap.

Nonetheless they would appear to be the best Carrier on Earth...

[Still room for improvement though]

What is it going to take for Google to get its finger out and buy Nokia already.

If they can't afford it I'm sure Samsung, HTC et al will chip in. With Nokia's patent portfolio they could bitchslap Apple/M$ but good.

Presumably the cost of the sub-contractor is deductible?

We've got an iPad 3 and every pdf app is intolerably slow at rendering to the extent that I have almost entirely written it off as a computing device.

It will clearly be several generations before tablets are a practical replacement for a laptop.

Fat chance.

I've got all sorts of older Nvidia hardware that works great with the Nvidia blob and that has never worked with Nouveau.

It's a particular pain in the arse because it's loaded automatically as if it really were a real stable driver during installation these days and it is used to drive the console. Combined with the current trend for 'live-install' discs many modern distro's are nearly impossible to install on older hardware. Ubuntu, I'm looking at you.

Sure there are ways around it but they are far from beginner friendly, at which point why the hell are you bothering with a distro like Ubuntu, you might as well be installing Gentoo.

It's frustrating to watch old, dull stuff that works being deprecated for new flashy shit that doesn't.

Imagine a Judge whose dictionary has the same definition of 'obvious' as the rest of us.

Satan is skating to work this morning.

So am I.

They can send me as many unsolicited messages as they like if I get paid 50c for every one.

That's only fair, I think.

Enough numbers there to make your eyes bleed. Tomi is a pretty reputable source apparently. I've certainly yet to see any evidence to the contrary.
