Why would you ever want to copy an inferior browser? I avoided updating until forced!

I resent being forced to update to a Chrome format. I avoided it all this time until it was no longer supported and you seemed to uninstall add-ons I use. If I wanted Chrome, I would use Chrome. This almost makes me want to switch to Chrome to get the real thing, rather than your copy. What is in your head? I want the old Firefox back! I KNOW I don't like the new FF as I have to use it at work.

Hello,
You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].

N00b query: Why would anyone ever want to define their own Exception class?

I've been reading thru my Java textbook for the past couple hours.
Exceptions are a wonderful thing. I already found several instances where I could've implemented try/cacth in my earlier programs.
Anyway, getting back to the point. My question is, can someone give me a realistic situation/example where a custom Expcetion class is REQUIRED? (the key word here is "required"!)
I can see why someone would want to have his own Exception class..... e.getMessage() as custom error messages are SO DAMN COOL!!!!!! :P
hehe
But seriously, if you are making intermidiate/advanced Java programs, would you ever REQUIRE to make your own Exception class? Afterall, even a custom made Exception class always "extends" from a pre-defined Java class, right?
Let me make this a bit more clear... public class CustomException extends IOException{ }Now, if I am making a try/catch statement, I can simply say
try{
throw new CustomException;
catch (IOException e) { }
Now as you can see, the CustomException was caught by the catch claus, because IOException is the superclass of CustomException. So, in other words, the whole CustomException thingy didnt do anything useful.
I know I know, I am so naive. Enlighten me >.<

Sure. Say you want to have a system where you want to include a custom error code which maps to some internationalized error messages. You would create an Exception subclass with a field to hold that value separate from the normal "default" message. Then you could throw that exception in all your code. Other code can catch it as a plain Exception if they want and use the "default" message, which is okay if they don't really care about the error code.
I don't think you are ever "required" to make your own exceptions. I have done so, but I don't often. It depends. See, there are plenty of Exception subclasses in the standard packages, and most of them cover many of the things you need. So more often if I'm throwing an exception, I'll be using the already existing ones, like IllegalArgumentException or IOException (whatever is relevant to the code).
Yes, you can do what you did below with CustomException. However the reason you might do that is cuz you really want to do this:
try {
   // call some code that may throw IOException from some standard IO package
   // or may throw CustomException from some of my methods...
} catch (CustomException ce) {
   // handle cusotm exception
} catch (IOException ioe) {
   // handle IO exception
}Cuz you may want to differentiate between your exceptions vs. IOExceptions that might be thrown from some java.io class.
Usually when you use an exception class it's a named class that relates to some condition. It may hold additional information besides the standard message, but I think most of the time it's just the class name which describes the problem. And if there isn't one that describes the problem that you're code might encounter, then create a subclass.

Why can't I select just one album under artist view and listen to it from beginning to end anymore? Why would you change that?

Why can't I go under artist view in music app, select 1 of multiple albums by a specific artist and play the whole album from beginning to end? Why would you have it automatically shuffle between songs from several albums by the same artist automatically? How do we change this back to previous function because this is sucking big time for a music lover.

I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums. Then you could select the album and see the list of songs. In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album. That was a really stupid change on Apple's part. Makes no sense.
Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums. That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
Please Apple change it back to the way it was!! This didn't need to change!

Why would you add Paths to a jpeg?

Hi Everyone!
I've been using Ps on and of for a few years now as a hobby so I'm somewhat able to find my way around it.
Now for the actual question:
Why would you add Paths to a jpeg?
Moreover why split it into several paths? I have a vague memory of paths beeing able to render for example a background transparent in say illustrator. Can that be it?
My reason for asking is that I work as a Digitalprinter operator and we have got a client that wants us to mask out objects in pictures and also in som cases separate them into paths.
I've scaled down the example we got from the client and added a link to it below hopfully someone can open this in Ps and explain why you would do this.
Dropbox - Paths
Thank you for your time.

Probably shouldn't reply using my cellphone while working, I'm doomed to get it out wrong.
What I ment is that I can't see for example how Path 3 as shown below in white (using quick mask) would be useful in a page layout program. Because the text that you create in that program would flow around "everywhere". Or am I wrong in believing this?

Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!! I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
AT&T = upgrade fee
Sprint = upgrade fee
T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
Good luck with the new provider.

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
The web site below tells you how:

Why would you need an H.264 hardware encoding device?

I am a casual user of Adobe Premiere Pro and just upgraded to CS5.5. I have been reading threads and someone said that he has problems with the Matrox encoder. I can import my video and make and DVD so why would you need another hardware solution?

I don't know how it works on Windows but on the Mac it shows up as a QuickTime component. So any application that can export a QuickTime movie (QuickTime Player, Adobe Media Encoder, Compressor, etc) can export to this component and it will utilize the Matrox hardware.
Theoretically you could set your preview file format in Premiere to the Matrox component but I don't know how well it would work.

Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?

Hello
Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?
It is disabled by default on all ports.
Since it prevents loops, in the absence of receiving BPDUs on non-designated ports, why would it not be enabled by default?

Good luck with that. FCC already did and have left it alone... My theory is because... Google charges carriers to use allow devices to use it. At one point Sprint paid to go exclusive for wallet. FCC can't force you to buy your competitors product.

Why would you think java is a better beginner language then c/c++ ???.

Why would you think java is a better beginner language then c/c++.That is if you think it is

1.)because it stear's you towards useing oop style programing.
since nearly everything relate's to object oriented programing.
2.)this forum alone. is a reason thier are comprehensive example's for beginers. and so many people many very freindly and dont mind answering a question. Other beginners are here also who share what they know with each other.
3.)learing curve for useing the language and geting started immediately is good.
4.)once you learn java and then goto c++ you have another probably better perspective on how to code.
5.)codeing in java avoids deconstructors pointers and direct manipulation of reference's. which can be very confuseing for beginers
and deals with variables that directly point to the computer's memory.
and proper deallocation of memory.
though im just a begginer myself i started trying c++ and switched to java.
however thier are somethings in java that can be as complex as c++
when pointers or reference's are needed but not available.

Why would you disable one processor?

just curious about the system preferences pane that lets you specify whether to use one processor core or two. why would you set it to one? what practicle application could there be to disable a processor core?

Developers may need to disable a processor as part of software development. Disabling a processor on a laptop will extend battery life when processing speed isn't critical. May be necessary to determine if one of the processors is defective.

Why would you have to raise AGP voltage

I have an MSI 6600GT and I was wondering when would you have to raise AGP voltage? Can you safely and stably overclock the card without raising AGP voltage? Is there a way to monitor GPU temperatures? What are safe temperatures?

why would you have to raise AGP voltage
you dont normally have to
though in the case of some ati cards they are not happy without it upped a bit

Why would you want to always BCC yourself?

I know this is an arbitrary question, but I was just writing an iPhone tutorial and I saw the option, "Always BCC Myself". Apple thought it so important as to give the feature its own slider in the menu, so I wondered "who are these people who want to always BCC themselves, and why?". I find this very curious, as BCC'ing yourself is a lot like just merging your inbox and sent folder. Why would anyone want to do this.. what practical purpose does it serve.. does anyone out there know?

Some people only have POP3 email accounts. With a POP3 account, if you are using the iPhone as well as a computer email client, you may want to keep some record of messages you have sent all in one location, perhaps the computer email client. However, if you reply to someone using the iPhone, you would not have that record on the computer email client. BCC yourself provides you a copy you can pick up on the computer email client and then move to the Sent folder for a record. While this is not necessary for IMAP or Exchange, not everyone has that luxury.

Why would you use a managed service account rather than a virtual account in SQL Server 2012?

In SQL Server 2012, service accounts are created as
virtual accounts (VAs), as described
here, as opposed to
managed service accounts (MSAs).
The important differences I can see for these, based on the descriptions:
MSAs are domain accounts, VAs are local accounts
MSAs use automagic password management handled by AD, VAs have no passwords
in a Kerberos context, MSAs register SPNs automatically, VAs do not
Are there any other differences? If Kerberos is not in use, why would a DBA ever prefer an MSA?
UPDATE:
Another user has noted a
possible contradiction in the MS docs concerning VAs:
The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network
in a domain environment.
versus
Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts
use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format
<domain_name>\<computer_name>$.
What is the "machine account"? How/when/why does it get "provisioned"? What is the difference between "accessing the network in a domain environment" and "authenticating to a remote location [in a domain environment]"?

Hi,
“Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format <domain_name>\<computer_name>$.”
“The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network in a domain environment. If the default value is used for the service accounts during SQL Server setup on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, a virtual account
using the instance name as the service name is used, in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>”
Per the above description, they are two concepts and not conflict with each other.
As you understand, virtual account access network resources by using the credentials of the computer account. Generally, computer account will not be granted permission unless giving the computer account permission on the shared folder manually.
Thanks.
