Alnitak According to a comment on Delicious bookmarks addon page it's because they changed the delicious site with a new version, so I guess you have to wait for an update. When extensions stop working I always check the add-on firefox page to see if somebody else...

how do you define a bad writer?

sashakiddo @sashakiddo (1102) • United States 21 Apr 11

I am a fan of any attempt to write, but sometimes I just have to stop and say this is bad writing! I'm not talking about grammar or vocabulary, I'm talking about writing that just wastes the reader's time. My friend always asks me...

Alnitak In my opinion a bad writer is someone who lacks both creativity and writing style. An author can have a great imagination and write about beautiful/smart stories or have an original way to describe things and make you see things you weren't able to see. If...

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 7 Apr 11

This issue has been hanging over my head for awhile, and I'd like to discuss it with fellow readers. The ebook (something I have all sorts of other problems with, but we'll not talk about that now) has made a previous unheard...

Alnitak I'm against piracy when it's considered the only way to get books, music, etc... there are too many kids that thinks that's how they get music (and now books) withouth having the notion of the damage they're doing to the musicians/authors but I can't deny that...

Alnitak Hi, if you want to buy a Kindle for the poor light on your way home, you should know that e-readers have a kind of monitor that is not backlit and usually it looks a little bit grey (such as some types of books with darker paper) so you need the same external...

Where do you play chess mostly, online or offline?

tintukm @tintukm (1102) • India 8 Apr 11

This game of all genres is a wonderful one and to play it with a real human opponent is pretty opposite to playing a computer. The online chess is also a amazing experience but there are hovering problems like connectivity errors,...

Alnitak I enjoy playing online but only correspondence chess, not real-time. I'm not such a good player, so I like CC because you don't need to be online at the same time and I can think about the move for as long as I want. I've tried playing realtime chess, from...

Alnitak Have you started a new profile or did you keep the old one? If you're still using the old one maybe some config file or extension could be in conflict with this new version.

Alnitak I don't think that who commits suicide thinks it's the only solution for his/her problems, they are just running away from a feeling they think they're not able to stop. Even the most stupid problem can become unbearable if the person is depressed. They...

Alnitak Assuming that your system requirement (RAM, video card etc.) is good enough for the game, you could try to update the direct X software and/or the graphic card drivers.

derekvukovic @derekvukovic (14) • Canada 28 Mar 11

I have been saving money for an ereader, and I have looked at the Kindles, and Kobo ereader, and still can't decide. Anyone with personal experience with either of these devices, do you like your device, and what are your...

Alnitak I don't own one but since I'm interested in buying one in the future I've read lot of comparisons and since you're saying you're going to use it for medical studies I think you should search for something with a larger screen than the usual to proper visualize...

MsPatriciaDV @MsPatriciaDV (635) • Philippines 27 Mar 11

Alnitak I think it's more like Opera. I don't know about GC but the top left menu button is the same as in Opera. The "Paste and go" thing has been in Opera for years, and Google Chrome wasn't even born. But they keep copying each other, Opera and Chrome both...
