I wonder if the space between the "do" and the "?" is taught in your school system? I have seen other members also place spaces before punctuation so I can't help but be curious. I know I too do this if the last set of words in a sentence is a URL and it's nice to not accidentally highlight and copy the punctuation mark when trying to only copy the URL. That aside, regarding your enquiry, you can get a nice start by calling up any phone number in the book and asking to speak with Seymore Butz or Harry Baals or Tiney Kox or Mike Hunt or Hugh Mungus or Hugh Janus. A genuine Indian name is Dikshit, but I prefer the first and last name approach.

What do you mean by "horizontal tabs"? I thought *ALL* browsers placed their tabs horizontally? "Brand new" browsers probably no longer place them horizontally - but MyPal v68 is not "brand new", it's based on Firefox 68 [July 2019] and incorporates many javascript functions up through Firefox v78 [June 2020]. So I would not expect it to contain functions only present in "brand new" browser versions.

Great job indeed, we3fan. AstroSkipper, for what it is worth, a clean install is almost always better than a lot of fixing and cleaning.

I think this is an XP versus non-XP issue. 360Chrome v13.5 (which should behave the same as the referenced 360EE_13.0.2310.0) does NOT disable the screensaver be it full-screen mode or not when on XP. But the same EXACT profile of 360Chrome v13.5 ran on Win10 does disable the screensaver. Can you run Official Chrome v49 (last official for XP) and see if it disables the screensaver or not? I will later this evening if nobody else beats me to it.

It would be helpful to let us know just what that "other browser" is.

Agreed! Pay attention to your daily conversations and just how often you remain "on-topic" during a 15-minute conversation where a strict "topic" was the very reason that conversation came about in the first place. Did you go off-topic 5 minutes in, 10 minutes in, or remain "strictly" on-topic the entire 15 minutes? Policemen or firemen on the scene obviously won't be discussing what they watched on television the night before or how their favorite sports team is doing. But MSFN is not here to "put out fires" or "disarm an active shooter", we are here as a COMMUNITY and "discussions" should 'flow naturally'. Nobody likes to be "micromanaged" and there comes a point where too much focus on just what is acceptable OT and what amount of OT went over the line is very much just MICROMANAGING the conversation. It is a fine line. Because nor do we want all threads to be 100 pages long with only 20 pages being on-topic.

lol. My dentist keeps telling me to stop drinking sugary soft drinks. I tell him that I will as soon as his three assistants don't have one at their desk.

I'd say all is good but the quote of the original would have to edit his post to remove the quoted portion. But yeah, a Mod would need to remove the whole post.

You two are FAST. I was getting ready to post the same.

Ah yes, right you are. The messenger is fine, the Mods should be able to track that down.

Yeah, I reported it within an hour or so of all of that profanity being posted. The Mods usually react must faster.

Regarding Firefox 113 -- it dawns on me that I have not met (in real life) a Firefox-user in over three years (at least). I wonder how many MSFN Members use Firefox? Not forks of Firefox, but the real Firefox.

That should be NO surprise to ANYONE. Only "wishful thinking" would have ever thought otherwise. Google has been the primary search engine in Mozilla Firefox since 2017 and about 88% of Mozilla revenue comes direclty from Google. Source: https://fourweekmba.com/how-does-mozilla-make-money/ I'm open for a more current revenue report, but I doubt it would change much. Without Google as the default search engine, Mozilla would essentially be bankrupt. That is from 2020 and I do admit that I have not installed any newer versions of Firefox, but I have to assume that Google is still the default search engine. What probably should surprise us is that Mozilla still allows the user to "unset" Google as the default search engine because that cuts their revenue stream immensely. If one truly "supports" Mozilla, don't you have to use the default Google search so that Mozilla gets a paycheck?

I don't.

I would suggest "Don't bite the hand that feeds you". I don't know your actual city, but do know that "socio-economics" can be very tricky. Proximity to a great school system can greatly effect regional cost of living. Regional climate can greatly effect cost of living. Crime rates greatly effect cost of living. Pollution greatly effects cost of living. Think of your city as a checking account where all of the people that LIVE THERE earn their income (checking account deposit) FROM that city and pay for goods and services (checking account withdrawals) TO that city. The city's "checking account" is self-sufficient in that its OWN deposits fund its OWN withdrawals. Now add in these tourists - they earned their income half way across the globe but that handed it over to your city. Generally speaking, having a great tourism industry BOOSTS the economy of that tourist attraction - money is brought in from ELSEWHERE and added to the city to redistribute through tourism industry wages and costs of goods and services. I guess you could secretly pray to Mother Nature, the Crime Gods, and the Pollution Gods for an increase in bad weather, an increase in crime, and an increase in pollution, you'd have far fewer of these tourists.

How so? Do you SELL YOUR HOUSE if a circuit breaker pops? Fuses pop in and out no different than plugging your phone in to charge it. Put the fuses back in when they give you your car back.

Tip to improve mental health -- when you take your car to a repair shop for something you can't fix yourself, REMOVE the fuses for the side mirrors and the power seats, that way they can't move them just to drive 30 seconds around the block!

Both XP and 10 (company does not allow 11). The taskbar icon only shows on the monitor that the program is on. Unless you are talking about two of the same programs running on the same monitor, then those can't be separated and diplay next to each other even if not opened in that order.

My taskbar only "groups" if the taskbar is completely full. My taskbar(s) are never completely full because the taskbar icons only show up on their active monitor. I can have close to FOURTY programs all running at the same time (and often do) and my taskbars still don't run out of room.

Same here. I don't do a lot of audio on any of my computers. I have stayed with XP due to a "bug" that others would probably seek a "fix" for but I want this "bug" and kinda can't do "without". I do not do "screensavers", I want my monitor to turn OFF and even a "blank" black-screen screensaver DOES NOT turn the monitor OFF, it only turns all of the pixels to as low as they can go, but the monitor is STILL ON. I do not like that, I want the monitor to turn OFF. So I use the power scheme instead to turn the monitors off after 15 minutes of idle time. BUT the "bug" is that on my FIVE-monitor system, one of those five will not turn off via power scheme. So I keep the e-mail and text-messaging programs on that monitor. With the other four OFF, I can still walk by an "idle" computer and see if any e-mails or texts have come in (I work from a home office a large chunk of time).

Being the Funny Farm, I'll induldge and claim that there are multiple ways to interpret this. I do NOT claim D.Draker to be in this list, I only read his reply and the "gears" started turning. 1) I live in an expensive city, I am rich and can afford to live here. You are poor and cannot afford to live here. Please go back to where you are from, we are better off here without your presence. 2) I live in an expensive city, I am rich and can afford to live here. I have to assume that the visiting foreigners leave because they are not rich. 3) I live in an expensive city, I am rich and can afford to live here. I wish that our city turned ugly so that it is removed from international travel agency tourist attraction lists and I wouldn't have to deal with foreigners visiting all the time. 4) I live in an expensive city, I wonder if this city being so awesome is why we have so many foreigners visiting all the time? I wonder if being a tourist attraction is why this city is an expensive city? 5) I live in an expensive city, I am living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggle to make ends meet. But I love this city and it's worth the struggle. 6) I live in an expensive city, I am living paycheck-to-paycheck and struggle to make ends meet. But I cannot save up enough money to afford to relocate so I am stuck with enduring this struggle. 7) I live in an expensive city, I wonder if all of these visiting foreigners are here to look for a new home, find it too expensive and can't afford it, so they leave? 8) I live in an expensive city, I wonder if all of these visitng foreigners saved 50 years just to be able to afford to visit this one-and-only-one expensive city? 9) I live in an expensive city, I wonder if all of these visiting foreigners are traveling the globe, one expensive city at a time, and living the Good Life having saved for an awesome retirement?
