For example I've learned of sites that will load when I completely deny cookies but not when I hang requests.
I've also come to be familiar with a number of consumer preference tracking company names.
Probably gonna avoid Toshiba this time given how many other problems I've had with their laptops though.
And when I stop the script (since I have no idea how debugging would help, and just continuing leaves it locked up), I can no longer close tabs unless I close the window itself and launch a new one. I am using Firefox. Please go away, Chrome.
It's probably some toolbar eating it all.
Can you guys help me out? I got a blue screen while listening to stuff on youtube and reading a pdf in Opera, so I switched off the computer and switched it on again. At the point it would get to boot Windows, the screen went black and all it did was the hard drive diode blinking in regular intervals. It happened to me before several times, and it's the same thing that happens when I restart the system (by the way: that's why I don't restart system when I install something or stuff like that, I just switch off and on again or just leave it for the next day), but this is the first time I can't get it to boot properly again. So far it always went right on the next try.
Right now, I'm on the same computer, but in the emergency mode or how do you call it. This one boots like it should, but I'm not too keen on the idea of doing everything in emergency mode from now on.
I've tried restoring old settings - old being from a week ago, I assumed that's enough to fix yesterday's problem - but it did not help. The system is the ole' XP, if that matters.
Gotta be a couple of years. Five? Six? I dunno, I bought it second-hand. I already had to fix graphics card in it, back in the day, 'cause it had some sort of ecological welding that was all prone to crapping out, so I wouldn't be surprised if the hard drive in it was also faulty in some way. But, anyway.
At the moment it seems to work. I formatted the main partition of the hard drive, re-installed the system, and now it seems to mostly work like it should. But I'm still interested in hearing out what are (or were) you going to say. Even if all is fixed now (which doesn't have to be true), it might come in handy the next time.
--edit--
It seems I've still got the old problem of getting stuck when restarting. I can work around this, but kind of hoped I'll get rid of it. I have an impression it's a matter of BIOS drivers, but I re-installed them, and that didn't help.
If you don't have a browser that can do that, get Dolphin.
Edit: Oh wait, now I remember why I stopped using Dolphin and it's to do with this exact same issue. Namely, Dolphin can be configured to always use the desktop user agent or always the mobile one, but neither is any good for a ten-inch tablet. A lot of mobile sites look terrible at that size, but a lot of desktop sites are just not possible to navigate with a touchscreen, so the ability to switch back and forth at will (which Chrome and Firefox have) is kind of necessary.
What I would really like is a browser that remembers my preferences site-by-site, so Twitter is always desktop and various other things are always mobile.
Edit 2: What I said about Dolphin isn't quite fair, since it does easily offer a button that switches the two modes. However, it still switches it globally rather than for a session, so it would be annoying if I wanted to use a site that needs desktop and a site that needs mobile in different tabs, for instance. And it still doesn't do the thing I want.
That gear button that contains the edit button on the mobile version of Heapers Hangout still gets me though.
Good. One less distraction.
until i open them in chrome or chromium instead lolAh, so here's this thread. I couldn't find it.
While I'm at it, my problems with browser is still the same old one. Didn't bother to do anything yet. Beginning to think about moving to a different version at least.
What browser and version are you using?
BUT IT SAYS EXTENDED SUPPORT RELEASEThe reason I haven't updated Waterfox past version 36 or whatever is because that one doesn't update properly. I have to update it manually, or else it breaks apart into a giant mess.
The reason I haven't updated Firefox 24 is because I'm very very used to the interface here and I don't feel like allowing any of the add-ons to be broken.
That said, having used Waterfox 36 for a while, I'm starting to feel less attached to those add-ons.
Having a status bar is still a very nice thing though.
Edit: Wooh, I managed to install the software I needed for the MIT's course for reals this time. On the downside this is 32-bits so I'll have to reinstall anyways.
I've got some data files that go like this:
(introductory line)
(second introductory line)
[number 1] [data 1.1.1] [data 1.2.1] [data 1.3.1]
[number 1] [data 1.1.2.] [data 1.2.2.] [data 1.3.2.]
[number 1] [data 1.1.3.] [data 1.2.3.] [data 1.3.3.]
... ... ... ...
[number 2] [data 2.1.1.] [data 2.2.1.] [data 2.3.1.]
... ... ... ...
[number 3] [data 3.1.1.] [data 3.2.1.] [data 3.3.1.]
... ... ... ...
...and so on. Basically, it's the data for a 3D plot, with the first column (let's call it X) unchanging until the second (Y) goes through the entire range, and then it goes to the next step of X. (X changes on a discrete basis.) This means I've got a single big file, which is good for plotting it in 3D, but for other purposes it would be more convenient to have a separate data set for each value of X.
Can you guys give me some hints how do you make a Python script read a text file, pick all the lines that begin with the same number (ie. all the data for same value of X), save it as a separate file, and repeat itself until we have a separate file for each X?
Could be C/C++ as well, to be honest, but Python feels natural for that sort of stuff. (Those are programming languages that I have some measure of experience with.)
