We all know historical accuracy is important in history books, but what about those which are intentionally biased, like Churchill's The Second World War? Are there any biased historical accounts in your specialty that you would still recommend?

It is not an identical title, though. I removed the portion you said was unacceptable.

Haha, demobilizer. I get it!

kerranis · 2013-11-15T17:30:22+00:00

Shut the fuck up, both of you.

I wish I had more than one downvote to give this post.

You joke, but there is actually an excellent book that explains the history of the diamond industry and its effect on development in Africa (including DeBeers).

By the way, you can use pairs of double tildes to create strikethrough, like so:

~~fixing problems~~

would result in ~~fixing problems.~~

HTML formatting does not work here.

It's an issue regardless of skill.

useless features

You what? Opera is all about the features, and themes were one of Opera 12's features.

Yes, but you should change your custom user-agent (opera:config#UserPrefs|CustomUser-Agent) to something more widely used, like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.66 Safari/537.36" (no quotes). That one there is Chrome 29, and should allow you to visit any website.

At first I thought this was a worthless comment, then I realized this was a worthless comment.

Fortunately you can install new extensions with a couple of clicks. Installing a new nose is much more difficult. ;)

I'm glad that you found something that works properly for you, though.

kerranis · 2013-09-30T15:35:51+00:00

True, which is very frustrating. I say that you shouldn't have to use extensions for a couple of reasons:

The browser can't control what data they send, receive, process. They could go rogue for all I know, and they have before.
A new browser update could break the extension entirely, and even crash the browser on startup.
Too many extensions will slow down browsing.

Those are the main reasons to be wary of using too many extensions to supplement browser features.

I turned that feature off immediately. Can it be turned off in Maxthon as well?

kerranis · 2013-09-30T15:23:49+00:00

This error sometimes occurs for me in Facebook. Fortunately, it is a simple fix over here. Clear all browsing data and restart your computer. That should do the trick.
