  1. who uses ini files? on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 1

    Who uses .ini files anymore anyways? The EVE guys should get current, maybe use an App.config or any other xml solution.

  2. Re:Wow I know something else on Google: The Missing Manual, Second Edition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And since when is hitting the period between every word easier than finding one of two of the large shift keys on the keyboard? Shift and Space seem large to me for a reason, but that's just me...

  3. Re:Gmail on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    My point was that if you read the article, it says the search program intercepts your queries then piggybacks the local info into the html of the search results. If they then submitted your queries to GMail, your search query would then also go to GMail. However, as you said, as long as you're doing a web search anyways, your queries aren't local anymore.

    So yeah, give us GMail searching in google desktop damnit.

  4. Re:Gmail on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah.. why doesn't it include Gmail in the search? I guess this would mean your search queries wouldn't be local anymore, but there should be an option to search Gmail inboxes too.

  5. Re:Should be great for filming sporting events on Airborne Video With an R/C helicopter · · Score: 1

    I work at a small company [remotei.com] that makes camera mounts for R/C Helicopters. The mounts accept normal Camcorder-size (Mini-DV) video camera, or still digital cameras. It requires an extra person in addition to the pilot, who has a second remote that gives full control of pan and tilt functionality on the camera mount. We are currently developing a third roll axis for the mount, which will auto-stabilize the camera back to level with accelerometers.

    This mount was built by students at UC Santa Barbara. We CAD'd all the assembly components, and had them machined on a CNC mill. We have assembled a handful of the mounts, and are currently shipping them to our first customers. Please check it out, tell us what you think.
