It's even worse in Dutch... Ben gay literally means "Am gay" and gay only has one meaning here and it isn't "happy" 
I never heard of it by the way.

Of course, the reason you are getting down-voted may have to do with your (unknowingly) offending someone from another country with a statement they interpret as a slur on their national heritage, civic pride, etc.
For example, you may not know that Bengay is the American rip-off of the proprietary French ointment, Benguet, a source of great national pride.
The original Benguet is made only from pigs who have died rooting truffles, and whose bodies have been stuffed with aubergines in the first twenty-fours after death. Their fat is rendered and then simmered in creme brulee for at least three days before further processing.
Authentic French Benguet, prepared in the traditional manner, using only native Algerians to perform the final, proprietary, manufacturing procedures, is fabulously expensive, and considered an aphrodisiac as well as anodyne, vermifuge, analgesic, abortifacient, soporific, etc.

You can have two at the same time: right click on "home" from the menu bar above, and select "Open in New Window"
But I've pretty much abandoned Edge anyway: It is a little faster than Chrome (but not a whole lot) but it's a lot uglier and it's tabs / menu bar take up too much space.
I suspect it won't be faster than Chrome / Firefox for long anyway...
[edit]
I just tried this and it worked: Open a second tab in Edge, and drag the tab off the page - you get the red "can't drop" symbol, but ignore that and drop it on the desktop. You get a second window.
Not where you dropped it, obviously, but...
Now drag the tab back to the original Edge window and drop it on the tab bar.
Yes, that's right, you get a third window with your page in, and the previous window goes to the "new tab" page.

It's not that it's complicated, it just that it doesn't work right!
In chrome, drag a tab outside and drop, you get a new window with that page where you dropped it.
Drag the tab onto another Chrome tab bar and it slots right in.
I use this a lot for plagiarism checks, commenting on articles, writing solutions - it's really handy to be able to drag google search results to a different monitor!
It's almost as if everybody at MS is using a Surface, and don't give a fig for what happens on the desktop!

Well, yes, because you're dropping it on the empty bar which effectively activates the 'new window' command. You're supposed to drop it on to a tab in order to integrate it into the existing tab order.
By the same logic, if you drag a tab off the bar you don't get a drop symbol because you're not actually dropping it (in the strict drag and drop sense) only removing it from the tabs. You only have to clear the tabs to create a new window from it, in fact. It's not necessary to leave the confines of the window much less go to the desktop.
It may be a tad unconventional but it makes sense.

Just had an email from a friend, whose email account had evidently been compromised. I'm sure we're all familiar with the situation - email, with nothing indicating the nature of our relationship, with a link (I was sensible enough not to follow). Naturally enough, I didn't click the suspicious link, and let the sender know along with advice to change her password and let her contacts know.
However, I didn't notice the mail immediately because it was (correctly) identified as Spam. During all this it occurred to me that it would be really *freaking* useful if mail clients performed the additional step of noticing suspicious emails from contacts in my address book, and notifying me so that I can, in turn, notify them.
I've sent emails to the mail services I regularly use to suggest this as a future course of action. May I suggest this to other users to contact their email providers.

 I like that idea. I think I'll integrate something like that into my email client (which I am slowly but surely working on)

That feature would require some way to verify that the message actually came from the sender, and wasn't spoofed.
Looking at the "received from" headers wouldn't be enough, because those can also be spoofed.

I requested my password for a site that I hadn't logged into for many years. I got the email and it said exactly,
Quote: You requested that your password for the members area be emailed to you.
Here is your password:
You can login at the URL below:
1) It appears that they will send your password directly via email.
2. It also appears that I may have never logged in before. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

On the bright side, they saved you from pasting that token and then getting your new password.

Hi All,
Still messing with with Win 10 (like every body!), I still have not found out if Secruity Essetnials installed, went to the Microsoft mother ship to see if there is anything about it, I can see the down loads for 7, 8 & 8.1 but not 10. I think it must be installed as default but I'm not sure. I click the Win 10 tab and it sends me to update to 10. Just paranoid thats all

Recently, I've noticed Windows having a few fails on discoverability. How the fudge am I supposed to guess that?
