So who is a psych or a soch here? http://themetapicture.com/sometimes-i-just-think-bad-thoughts/

Or neither of them are? I know that comic is a joke, but you guys scared me. I think I need a sword to protect me. Yeah, I will get a sword to be on the safe side. And a shield.

EDIT: Get away from me psychos! I have a sword and a shield!

Mostly for playing Youtube videos and page ads. In Firefox, you can select Tools-> AddOns and set it to "Ask To Activate". That way it won't automatically load for every page that has a Flash ad. That will greatly reduce the crashes.

Thanks , but I don't have Firefox, I have Chrome installed, but it won't start.

That's different problem then. :smile:
Once you get Chrome fixed, I assume that it has something similar in its settings to be able to avoid auto-loading Flash automatically for every page.

FF is a ram eating monster, chrome solves this by starting in several threads. Maybe there is still a process left which prevents you from restarting it. Check the task manager.

IMO all browsers are ram eating monsters.

Wow, Explorer eats up 962 Megs.

As I've said. Chrome's splitting at least doesn't cut off a large block. Its dynamics are certainly an improvement, although I don't know exactly how they've organized their threads. In addition Zone Alarm, a free firewall, isn't really compatible with FF because its monitor function starts to get bigger and bigger until everything gets blocked.

The question then is why ?

Now that I'm on my laptop again. Yes, it's really my JavaScript that is broken!

It says that my JS is turned off or not supported. What the heck? All other sites work normally. Youtube, Physics forums, facebook and everything else is OK. It's just Gmail issue. Going to linux forum...

Because when I run either of them along with some programming IDE (Android Studio, Eclipse or Visual Studio) I run out of RAM and the computer complains. The IDE can run all fine and there is never a complain, as soon as I fire up a web browser the PC complains because it downgrades my available RAM from 30% to 20% or less.

No idea what could be happening with your browser Sophie. I can't read it either, but I guess you just have to click where it says the first kiliknite tu to open it using just the HTML version of Gmail. But I don't know why it says your javascript is disabled.

Wait... Ah, I see. Someone installed NoScript on your browser Sophie. Probably it came pre-installed in the OS. You need to tell NoScript to temporarily allow javascript on your browser.

Wow Psinter! I disabled NoScript and it works! I disabled it a long time ago but maybe it was automatically upgraded yesterday and it activated itself again?
Something to increase your paranoia

I love my cat, but the accursed feline is leaving hair everywhere. I clean up as much as I can, but hell, one of my sweaters is totally covered in cat hair. Picking it off one by one is tedious, I tried the vacuum cleaner, didn't work too well.

What to do ?

As unusual as it may be, I actually read that book before I read The Outsiders.

Hmm... wide sellotape? But it may take a long time and use a lot of tape

One thing really bugs me is finishing a book and finding out I started in the middle of a series, only thing worse is seeing a movie then realizing I didn't read the book first.

When I had cats I was able to gather up enough cat hair to make a whole new cat.

I had figured out how to do scatterplots in Excel , but forgot. Unfortunately data comes from an Excel file, so I can't tell how to open it and use it somewhere else.

I was watching this major electronic billboard quizzically, looking at the series of 12-digit numbers changing at high speed.
What the hell is it about? After 5 minutes, disappointed, I realized it was just an electronic watch with 12-digit accuracy:
Hours Hours Minutes Minutes Seconds...

The banana trick. Or at least I think it is a trick. Cafes that sell rich or unhealthy foods often have a basket with bananas in it. I think it is in order to appeal to the subconscious guilt of a customer ordering a double cheeseburger with fries. "Well, I am having all this fatty food, maybe a banana will make it better, even if just a bit better".
