Ok difficult question time! since this is an esoteric term!

So... Lets say that the Post-Modern genre of books was invented or came about in 1860.

However, there exists a post-modern book in the 1600s!

What is the term for that 1600s book? It isn't Pioneer... it is something else...

It's 'ahead of its time'.

The painter El Greco is a great example of this. Google a couple pictures or go to an exhibit, it's really worth the time.

Can anyone recommend a good client for aggregating multiple email accounts? I have a growing number of accounts I regularly check and it's pushing my browser's RAM usage through the roof (60-150M per tab!!!).

Don't know one off the top of my head, but from what I recall most email accounts have some sort of option to redirect/forward their stuff to another account. Could potentially fiddle with that and have it all sent to a sort of omniaccount. Probably the least potentially sketchy option, t'boot. Pretty such most major email programs (outlook, etc.) have some sort of functionality along those lines, too. POP forwarding or somethin' like that. Been like a decade since the last time I had reason to bother with it.

Quick check around pulled up the names mercurymail and zoe, though. Haven't used them, nor looked beyond cursory search in passing regarding quality et al, but they might be worth checking.

... that said, that's a vaguely silly amount of memory per tab, and I say that as someone that regularly has a couple hundred tabs open. Maybe consider just using a different browser specifically for the email checking? Or kicking on various only-use-html options email providers tend to have for older computer/slower connection folks. Might help if you haven't already gotten around to trying it.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I started using Thunderbird. It's helped a lot with my RAM woes, and as a bonus it makes my browser less cluttered! It works great. Thanks for the suggestions.

New question: anyone want to suggest a pair of desktop backgrounds that would complement each other? My screens are 1920x1080. Any theme will do.

something something video game screenshots? My desktop background has been a blown up screenie from legend of mana for like... three or four years. Maybe longer. Pixilated as all hell even compared to the original in-game spritework but it doesn't really bother me so *shrugs*

Also there's always zaku. There's some pretty neat wallpaper type stuff involving zakus, iirc.

Depends on what you like to look at, really. Or if you're not like me and ever actually see your desktop for more than a few seconds. If you never really see the desktop backgrounds it starts to matter less.

a² = b² doesn't imply a = b, but only a = ±b.

You can't just take the square root, in other words.

Yep.  And in that second part, the
(-1)^2 = -1
is just wrong, it's 1.  Just like (1)^2 = 1, hence the ambiguity when taking square roots.
