It's about as good as all the other days happening at the same time.

Guys, you asked to hear about Silverspawn's problems! Now he's here to tell you, but you're just trying to motivate him! I thought better of you people.

When you talk about the measurements of an open-top box, do you think it's more natural to use height or depth?

As an engineer...

Depends on the process used to create said box.  If it is formed out of sheet metal, I'd say depth.  If it was bent out of sheet metal, I'd say height.  Really, it depends on which feature on the box you are talking about.  When you bend the box out of sheet metal, you would be bending the sides up and would be concerned about the height of the walls when you are forming (that's when you have the sheet then push on the center and guide it into the shape you want.  I can't explain it well, so here is a video example) you are more concerned with the depth of the cavity.  So if you're talking about the walls of the box, height; the cavity, then depth

I would say height.  Depth, to me, is reserved for (1) things below a surface or (2) wall-to-front distance of an appliance/cabinet.

Ah but depending on the method used to create said box, it could be referred to distance below a surface

So, hypothetically, if I hit the side of my head against something really hard, say, I don't know, some large bone belonging to another person, how long should it stay swollen and hurt before I start to worry?

If the "top" is along the z-axis (facing "up"), the "height".  If the "top" is along the x-axis (facing you), then "depth".

Why everyone isn't just using chrome is beyond me.

I'm seriously considering switching off chrome. Sure, it's fast, but it uses all my computer's limited resources

Does it? Is it running lots of background stuff?

Note: IANAD

24 hours, I'd say.  Unless you're experiencing obvious neurological symptoms in addition to the swelling, e.g., dizziness, concentration difficulty, blurred vision, etc.  In which case go NOW.

So if it was on Sunday, that's not so hot?

It always amused me when someone would give legal advice online and post IANAL. It's the little, perverted boy in me.

Sometimes I love acronyms too much.

Well, looking in the Task Manager, it has ten different processes going for some reason.

I am using Chrome for some stuff (whenever the compatibility issues are a problem). But it just isn't even nearly as good as Opera 12 for regular use. I also use Firefox for stuff that requires add-ons that are only available for Firefox, and sometimes TOR Browser for certain reasons. I also have the new Opera, but I don't use it, it's a lot worse than 12.

Right now I have two different browsers open.

This is why. Whenever you create a new tab, it opens a completely new process. Which is how chrome is so fast.

Im considering switching to opera, but the main thing keeping me from that is I need to find ad block...

As far as head injuries: I had a concussion once and the doctor said that throwing up is OK if it's right after the accident, but if it's more than like 30minutes later, then it's a problem. I don't know if that applies to other symptoms, but I would probably see a doctor if I were you...

[Ichimaru Gin]

I use Chrome almost exclusively; however, it is pretty taxing on resources. My computer's relatively strong, but it does cause some problems when I am gaming + having a ton of tabs up. My brother uses Comodo, but moreso so Google can't track everything about him. It's very similar to Chrome since it uses the same opensource base I think. I don't care for it myself, but he loves it.

lol. I actually just decided to download opera and try using it right now. So far, it seems pretty cool.

[GeoLib]

I did not know that about chrome. Is it configurable, so you can decide when to start a new process and when to not? How resource intensive is it?

I've been a firefox user since around 8th grade, I think, when ie had a major security breach, and then I never went back (for obvious reasons).

My new computer is pretty powerful though, so maybe a faster, more resource-intensive browser is the way to go.
