Posted by Yami By "similar writing system" I meant using characters as opposed to the Latin alphabet. Writing systems may have varying support and rendering quality of such characters and so may affect browser choice in some countries. |

That doesn't make it similar at all, given the amount of languages that don't use the Latin alphabet. Also, do Vietnam and Thailand use IE a lot too? Because I found your assumption that writing systems influence what browser they use sort of odd.

Actually, Vietnam does use a modified version of the Latin alphabet nowadays.
Besides, Japanese is using syllables + characters, while Korean uses building blocks. Also, why do the Chinese, North-Koreans, Russians, Greek, Arabs, Israelians, etc. not use IE? They don't use the Latin alphabet neither, right? |

Posted by Yami It was only a theory, I didn't say I was in any way confident at all in that. I was just throwing an idea out there. But to answer your question: North Korea doesn't use IE because there are very people or in the country who even have access at all and they're probably using some special Kim Jong-Un approved browser or something. China also has limited internet, although nowhere nearly as limited as North-Korea, obviously. As for the others, who knows. Even I thought the writing systems idea was ridiculous as I was making that post, I only pointed it out because no one had any other ideas. |

so today I tried using the search feature to count occurences of a certain string. Firefox shows how many occurences are found, that's neat.
so, type shit in... "more than 100 occurences" thank you for helping, Firefox. they apparently decided that numbers greater than 100 were too big to display, even though there is a whole fucking shitton of space. why ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

You can always update accessibility.typeaheadfind.matchesCountLimit in about:config so that totally justifies innovation at the price of convenience.
Or you can install an addon just for that. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/?src=search |

oh, good, thanks 
let's see >999999999 'text entered isn't a number' fucking piece of shit. maximum value is... 2147483647. which means it's a signed 32bit number. which means... negative values are possible. why (then again our board's database structure is full of that kind of shit too) anyway, I set it to that. but there should be no addon or obscure setting hidden in a OMGDANGEROUS settings panel. this limit SHOULD NOT EXIST. why does it exist to begin with, did they have an intern they had no work to give to?

I know that the limit shouldn't exist. I can't think of a reason other than "simplicity" or maybe not to overwhelm the layperson who can somehow realize the search function exists in the first place... I don't know.
Me, I'm a layperson myself, but I'm relieved that that thing isn't hardcoded or something. |

if modern humans are overwhelmed by numbers greater than 100, humanity is taking a very wrong turn
(it's already taking a very wrong turn anyway, but this would make it worse) but, yeah. gotta see the positive side of it I guess. another positive side: the Mozilla intern of the time got something to code so he wouldn't spend his days playing Angry Birds. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |
