    I installed the extension. Can it increase the number of addresses to keep in history? My problem was that I remembered visiting a certain page, but not all the details, and it had fallen out of the history too soon. What is "async" in the context of Firefox. I understand how two processes can be asynchronous. But how does this term apply to the dyna,mic size of history? In Opera I have 50000 entries. It is endless. Sounded like Firefox admitted that their browser isn't particularly efficient when they decreased the size.

    I skimmed the quote and thought that he asked about executable files specifically. For images and sound there are players that most people know of, like IrfanView or Media Player Classic. Maybe QuickView had uses in 1999. It doesn't support new formats that were invented since then. I don't know about viewers for Office programs. There used to be a mini Word and Excel viewer by Microsoft, but I never used those.

    Can I change the history size of visited addresses in New Moon? In number of items or how many days to keep it?

    For example, "PE Tools" by NEOx/uinC.

    Why is this program desirable? The formats it can open are limited, and you can get another small application that is equally as good for images/sound or gives more comprehensive report on the PE header with editing capabilities.

    I know about shady sites that require a premium account, but these are not among them. There you usually have to wait 30 to 60 seconds. For example on SourceForge, there is a circular counter that goes from 5 to 0 and then the download starts. You can also click on Problems Downloading directly. On ModDB you see a white box with a clickable link. Having an account on these sites doesn't bypass the intermediary dialog.

    Why is it common for websites to wait for 5 to 10 seconds after clicking a download link before the download actually starts? They usually not show a countdown, and give a clickable link that starts the transfer immediately. The accompanying text might say: "If your download doesn't start automatically, click the link, or select another mirror." If I do click the link, I usually get a second download started after a delay. It is not those sites where you have to pay a subscription to get high speed, but regular open web servers.

    It never occurred to me to check the program with an anti-virus because it passed a smell test. I've been having this program since 2016 (1.1.2) and used sporadically. It wants to download updated versions of itself and is probably classed as a downloader because it this. You could block its internet access. I like that it is a Delphi program and thus doesn't require big frameworks.

    Can you use MOS Authenticator for this? It is a small program that I used on WinXP to access a bank. But it may be a different format of password. http://www.maxoutput.com/authenticator/

    Can't you use DLP directly in place of it? I think the basic command-line is compatible. Recently YouTube figured out to return 403 Forbidden in the middle of a download, necessitating a manual check for completeness. Recent DLP seems to have a workaround for it.

    No I actually visit the Old Reddit where the issue happens. I selected it in the preferences.

    Why does this page cause massive CPU usage in New Moon 28? The Skyrim forum features a scrolling blurred background that is barely visible. Detached backgrounds should be a bit more heavy. But why so much? The performance is better in Serpent. https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/15ogxfp/marker_stuck_on_void_teleportation_room/

    People can just install Server if they want to use a system like that, with less trouble than transplanting individual files, and fewer nonsense features.

    I hear that is no longer possible to add file associations in the registry on Windows 10. And that you need to obtain a secret hash. To what extent is this true? What happens if you open Registry Editor and try to add keys under HKCR, or try to merge a REG file with Registry Editor? Do other registry editors like Registry Workshop have been prevented from acessing parts of the registry? To me this is an important disadvantage of Windows 10 because I need to put 5 to 10 programs on the right-click menu to open a file in different programs depending on the situation.

    Can you connect your disk directly to the motherboard to eliminate the USB adapter? Use a controller driver that supports large disks, and create normal GPT partitions. The limit isn't impacted by the cluster size selected in the file system because it happens on the physical sector level. If you want to change the sector size of your partitions, then you must create new partitions and copy files onto them individually. Do you have some complex licensed software onto these partitions that requires them to be preserved verbatim? Would that software be happy to run/boot from a dodgy USB adapter? You could try to copy the entire source disk starting from sector 0, including its partition table, and don't employ any partitioning tools whatsoever, but that would keep the old aligment of 63 obviously. Then add another partition to the end or extend the last one to fill up the remaining space. When you created "placeholders" for the old partitions, did their size match down to the sector? If you specified their size in megabytes, they might not be the exact same size.

    What is the performance of the Bear Windows driver? Is it similar to Windows XP without any driver and very slow? In the standard deviaton list it days that you can't use resolutions higher than 800*600 on either Intel 7/8 or GeForce 5xxx and newer ones, and even less on Intel 845/915, which significantly limits the driver's usefulness with the most common video adapters. I do remember that ATi had a limited DOS memory on the X550, but GeForce 6200 was still good.

    I don't have that. Is it stable? Last time I read about it people mentioned that it crashed.

    My bank has an old website that works in these Firefox, and it mostly works in Opera 12. Recently they've began offering a "modern" version as an option in parallel. But it doesn't need to be used. However, they required that I update my personal data such as phone number, address, and expected turnover, or I get booted out if I do not do it. Turns out that interface requires Chromium or maybe Quantum. In New Moon and Serpent it showed a white page. Turns out the only changes needed were a country code for the phone number. I'd be royally screwed if I didn't have Windows NT 6 and Opera (Opium).

    Maybe we can draw some conclusions from the collective experience of several members, if more than one reports similar findings.

    People often say that lab-grown meat can be more efficient by not growing parts of the animal that we don't eat like skin and bones. But I don't see how it could become sustainable. The producers still have to replicate most other parts of the real animal: The digestion and waste removal systems and an equivalent for blood vessels that would reach all portions of the growth vessel. The tank must also be kept completely sterile because there is no immune system. An animal takes in raw plant material, often what we would regard as too low greade to eat. But now we must chemically break it down to produce nutrients that the meat cells can accept directly. They must be refined to an extremely high degree, more so than any protein powder, and kept free of microorganisms.

    Yes, once sectors start to be reallocated, the drive will likely fail even if the sectors later seem fixed. Ultra DMA errors can be caused by a bad connection, and can also be generated in software. An old verson of HDAT2 would try to access the disk in DMA mode that didn't work and rapidly generated errors. High Fly Writes seem to be slowly accumulating on my VX000 drive without notable events, currenly at 1104 and the manufacturer's rating of 1%, really bad. The drive works. This parameter is present on VN000 where it is at 50, and VX007 where it remains at 0.

    If I need to produce a single file, I use MkvToolNix, which can accept all common file formats without transcoding. I used this after every download before I switched to a new version of HPC-HC. Loading the 66 MB binary alone already causes a pause. I suspect they have one or two modern codecs in there consuming most space. I'm not a fan of this all in one solution. MkvToolNix also crazy large today and it has zero codecs, but I use an old version.

    For me Youtube-DL that is several months old still works. Occasionally it complains about a signature, but most of the time it is fast. I don't use Ffmpeg with it, because I found I out that MPC-HC can combine the video and audio into one during playback with a bit slower seeking. Why has Ffmpeg grown to be 66 MB? I remember they were proud to share core functions across related codecs and of elegant code.

    Yes, disks is fast now as they should be. I wonder why Microsoft would return to a more conservative caching method after XP, in a server system in particular, which has to be fast and expected to powered on all the time. I don't have an UPS. It cooked last summer. I didn't realize how hot the device gets inside as the battery ages.

    Drinking anything because the government or big corporations told you to is not a good idea. People in America seem to religously follow authorities when it comes to food choices: eat margarine, don't eat margarine, eat eggs, don't eat eggs, throw out your food, be scared botulism... Now Johnny Harris comes back from a Fantastic Odyssey with a revelation and everyone is supposed to rebound and follow him. The race card is also sometimes played when they that asians or africans don't drink milk. It's the choice of these people to have it or not. We've been having dairy products for hundreds of years before these lies had been told. Immitation milks concentrate on recreating the appearance of liquid milk. But the function of milk and cream in food is to mellow sharp, bitter tastes of grain products, roasted beverages, occasionally meat when you add sour cream. I never drink milk straight to wash down my food or to quench thirst on a hot day.
