General Fan Performance Guide

This is an indepth guide to the performance of the fans we have in our PC's. Here's a quote: 'The specific purpose of this guide is to take the science associated with fans and translate it into a meaningful document that will allow the reader to understand how fans work and how they apply to computers. It provides a brief summary of DC power and drives. It finishes with an introduction to the concepts of sound generation and measurement.'"

I'm using Mozilla, and have a question:

When did slashdot start using tags?

When did slashdot start using <link> tags?

And since I'm replying to get that question back up to score 0, was it at the same time as we lost all of our user prefs? (I had to filter out Star Wars again)

Moderators, 0 is low enough for anything that isn't spammy. (text floods, ansi art, etc.) I would like to know the answer to this question.

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too.

Err, that's <link> tags. Hemos, is that you knocking these down?

Yeah fuckers. I want to know too. Lame!

I just checked the HTML source, and it doesn't appear to be using tags. One thing I have noticed with Mozilla, though, is that if you are using tabbed browsing, any page with tags will cause the "Site Navigation Bar" to be displayed in that window. (And here's a bug... None of the buttons are even grayed out.)

Never mind... I just switched out of light mode, and Slashdot is indeed producing <link> tags. Which leads me to the question: Why does light mode leave out some genuinely useful stuff, like the aforementioned tags which could actually speed up browsing on slow links, and like being able to get the comment number right off a comment, without having to copy the "Reply To" link and hack it?

But that's still handy to know about Mozilla...
