    Poxy website! :mad: When I clicked on the picture of the dishes, it resized my browser down to fit the picture (which was no bigger than what I clicked on to get a closer look). I just assumed this was a popup and closed down my browser, loosing my other open tabs! :mad:

    See, that's one of many reasons I use Chrome... It remembers your tabs, and gives you a convenient link to re-open sets of tabs you accidentally closed

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

        So does Firefox - if you know which bits to press. It can do it automagically too.

        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

            Finally some got some sense... stop spending money on what may be out there and spend money on what is actually here on earth... spend than money on fixing the deficit, funding public school,municipalities etc.

                That makes a certain amount of sense, but I don't want to be asked about the last session I had open every time I start my browser. I want it to know when I shut the last session by mistake and when i just want to start my usual session. FF has an add-on/plugin that does this when it crashes, but I've probably turned off the "show me last session every time I start" cause I usually keep my browser open all day and I found it irritating. Is chrome that intelligent?

                      Under the History menu in FF there should be a "Restore Previous Session" option. Clicking this restores the previous session. This is no longer an add-on.

                              ok, I'm still on 3.6, I'm using the session manager add-on. I have the options checked to "save session on shutdown" and "treat closing last browser window as shutdown". and I'm still not seeing the ealier session that should have been saved in the list of sessions. I suppose I really should move to 4.

                                      No, there isn't. Besides, flushing money down the toilet isn't a wise use of it. And SETI is the epitome of flushing money down the toilet.

                                          SETI is totally privately funded. Not one cent of taxpayer money. You're not proposing to tell private citizens what they can do with their money, are you?

                                          The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
