No, not sandboxed in a separate process. It should still have full access to the memory of the Firefox process, but if it crashes it shouldn't bring FF down with it, but rather just stop interacting with the browser.

So why isn't it more popular? When I show people it, the reactions are either "that's absolutely disgusting, never show me it again," or "that's amazing, why haven't I heard of this before?". But nobody seems to be able to explain why they hate it, other than that it's unfamiliar.

Sure, they could overwrite its memory, but that's not something to happen by accident.

Windows 95 has virtual address spaces. You probably meant DOS or Windows<=3.11.

Just adding to what Bear mentioned and somewhat emphasizing my point -- I would like to be able to buy a TV with good IQ and audio and without any of the smart (read: dumb) stuff that just adds to the cost without any meaningful value.

CaptainJistuce I find 1920x1080 to be exceptional, when watching a Bluray and Full HD Free-to-Air TV is very good too. Upscaling of standard definition media is terrible though, but that's usually because such media is also using significantly inferior encoding & compression quality.

Same argument I had when people were claiming HD wasn't needed, DVD was fantastic, and you couldn't actually see the difference between 480p and 720p and that the human eye can't actually perceive 1080p.
I can still see pixels, I can still see color banding, there's still room for improvement.

At a distance of 10-15 feet, 1080p->2160p on anything less than 55 inches is indistinguishable. Even then it wouldn't make much difference. Up close, however, 2160p is significantly better. I can't go back to 96dpi computer displays. I'm hoping for a 5120x2880 27" monitor (other than the one that's out). That would be perfection.

Have you considered adding support for Youtube embeds? When I use the [youtube] tags with just the tail end of the URL it restores the whole URL instead of embedding the video...

Wasn't it omitted because page loads would get very slow?

I... never had an issue with it on Byuu's forum and I'm using an ancient CPU (though with videos performance is largely dependent on the video card and the number of videos simultaneously playing).

FWIW, ever since they realized they could track and sell our viewing histories, "smart" TVs have generally skewed cheaper than traditional "dumb" TVs. Hooray for corporations using our data to subsidize product sales!

Please tell me you're trolling and not really this thick-headed.

I can't actually tell.

for real... I think that's at least a "yellow" on the Even Advisory System (no "can't actually" unfortunately) and other HSAS derivatives

HDMI supports audio. That's one big reason to use it.

BTW, the little graph bars for poll threads are illegible on the "old metal" theme, as the first bar is black on a black background.

Posted by sureanem

What kind of device do you have that has HDMI out but no 3.5mm? iPhone 7?

The default colors are the standard CGA, though one set has black and the other does not. This discrepancy should be gone now. The braces poll has its own custom bar colors, so I'd have to edit that in the DB to make it not black.
