    How has nobody yet mentioned that this is Sousveillance? This is the BEST we can possibly hope for from a nationwide network of cameras. Don't complain about it, make sure MORE of the cameras are hooked into it. Good grief.

    ditto for program.
    right-click to "enqueue in winamp". files or folders.
    windows explorer/file manager/konqueror is the best and the fastest browser.

    for file structure i group them by the shelf they're on in my apt. (which are ambiguously labeled, eg bouncy, sexy, indie, ambient, classical, eccentric, cafe, etc), that way i can play a "shelf" at a time.

    wavepad (free edition) is a more stable and friendly piece of software than audacity.
    I found it after running into problems getting audacity to record streaming radio (audacity kept putting in pops and silences that werent there..)

  7. Re:Cubase! on Software for Your Musical Instruments? · · Score: 1

    and because audacity looks nice but runs terribly on windows...
    wavepad is a perfect alternative (free edition). More stable and easier to use.

  8. Re:Sunbird on Mozilla Lightning 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    sunbird is a 5mb (compressed) standalone app, that duplicates 90% of the core code of thunderbird/firefox. So lightning'll be way faster, and you wont have to fire up sunbird seperately.

  9. Re:Change the FOV on Motion Sickness Remedies for Games? · · Score: 1

    Unless it's in the options menu, you can't on a console. this is a PC gaming trick only.
    Usually you can change it with a command in the console (of quake/doom/UT/etc) such as "/set_fov 120". Sometimes you have to manually edit a config file.

  17. Re:Non NT-based Windows? on Trustworthy Computing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the unofficial patch fixes the vulnerability through shimgvw.dll, which us win98 users dont have. but the actual problem is in GDI32.dll which is required for windows to function. so basically we're SOL atm.

  20. Re:8 out of 10 not compatible here on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    permit cookies has an update. right at the top of the page you linked :)
    ditto add bookmark here, and FLST.
    (possibly not compatible with ff1.07 hence not default/automatic?)

    why are you using cookie toggle when you already have permit cookies?

    bookmark all is redundant; part of ff1.5 default menu options (ctrl-shft-D). try Openbook (http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/openbook.php) for better bookmark dialog options.

    gcache looks dead. maybe you can find a bookmarklet replacement. or you can use CustomizeGoogle extension (http://www.customizegoogle.com/) which can add WaybackMachine links to each google result.

    stumbleupon looks compatible. recheck.

    securepasswordgenerator is possibly redundant as roboform says it does that?

    good luck with the rest. check the dev forums for each. sometimes the authors havent got autoupdates working properly and you have to manually install latest ver. yourself.

    yes, yes, and yes. and neither are they, thats why they stuck it out in the wild, to see what happens to it. they're smart like that..
    this is everything you (we!) can think of. all on a crisp clear white bckground. think geocities, but you can try and report the user if its spam/vandalism.

    only limits seem to be:
    -only 30 attributes per item
    -no export, only import and display on google at base.google.
    both of which might change

    sneaky smart bastids.
