SETI Institute to shut down alien-seeking radio dishes

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?

Anyway, don't you remember the day when they were formed? :confused: Don't tell me ... stars were so much better in those days, bigger, brighter, more twinkly? :rolleyes:

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)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?

It is difficult to recall, after all, I've had so many big bangs.

All browsers do that. That is part of the definition. Sorry IE. :)

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

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.
There is enough money for both.

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.

I didn't say it wasn't. I just said it was like flushing money down the toilet.

Making an observation isn't the same as dictating. If you want to buy a lime green Lamgorghini, be prepared to be mocked for it. More seriously, to say you can do both of whatever is often simple fiscal foolishness. Far too many people don't understand opportunity cost nor do they understand that putting a tiny bit of money at multiple problems often leads to just wasting time and effort.
