The idea is to keep the same standard unmaximized window size across all TOR Browser users. Yes, a randomly sized window is worse than full screen, which is worse than the TOR-standard size.

I have had no issues running a VM on an external drive.

Even if you ran it on one machine with a Linux host and on another with a Windows host?

I've not moved VM's between Windows and Linux, but it works fine going back and forth between OS X and Windows. The only caveat being that you have to re-visit the VM's settings for things like host volume mapping and especially networking config.

Seems like the .vdi files are configured relative, so at least this should go automatically.

Host volume mapping is a folder shared between the host and the VM?

Yes.

Bought a 128GB USB 3.0 stick. Works like a charm.

Hosts:

Notebook runs Linux Mint 17 with VirtualBox 5.0

Desktop runs Windows 7 with VirtualBox 4.3 (5.0 ha an issue on Win7 that Oracle won't fix, but prevent my VM from starting)

Guest:

Xubuntu 15.04 with the VirtualBox 5.0 Guest Additions

The best description I could find was "dimension line," but all the examples have numeric measurements rather than descriptive text.

> The correct name servers should have been DNS.EWR1.NYTIMES.COM and DNS.SEA1.NYTIMES.COM.

How does this work? How would you get to DNS.EWR1.NYTIMES.COM without first knowing where nytimes.com is?

Nameservers have their IPs registered with the registry, and they are returned in the additional answers section. These are called "glue records".

The top level servers (for .com in this case) has A (and/or AAAA) records for the name servers to prevent this kind of catch-22. These out-of zone records are called glue records.

What reader are you using that offers de-duping?

Thanks, saved me a lot of time.

If you are on Android, try Hovernote to address the unselectable phone number case. Type the number into the hovering note, then copy/paste from the note.

You might try MapDroyd, which downloads Openstreetmap data for offline display. You can select individual countries or states to download.

How do you get the Firefox icon instead of the word "Firefox" in the orange drop-down button?

There are probably several addons and themes to that end, here's one that seems reasonably popular:

It looks like it's Pentadactyl (an addon to use Fx with Vim-like key bindings) which provides this behaviour.
