  1. Re:Firebug not Firefox on Yahoo's YSlow Plug-in Tells You Why Your Site is Slow · · Score: 4, Informative

    YSlow require Firebug to previously be installed in order to run. It is an extension of the capabilities of Firebug and so is an extension of an extension, a meta-extension if you will.

    Even better than that, http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ gets a D for performance.

    There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who understand that this is a joke about ternary.

  4. Re:Wait... on True Random Number Generator Goes Online · · Score: 1

    I'm not altogether convince that being an irrational number necessarily inplies that the number contains all possibkle strings of integers (although I am pretty sure of the converse) but I can't think of a decent counterexample.

    I'm going to try the sum from 1 to inifinty of P(n)*10^(-n) where P(n) is the nth prime mod 10. This will never contain a 4, but them I think if you disregard the initial 2 and 5 and then map 1,3,7,9 onto 0,1,2,3 and change to a quaternary expansion then you may well have an isomorphism onto something which does satisfy the above so I'm not sure.

    If anyone less mathmematically rusty than myself would like to help me out...

    Would it be too difficult (for someone much cleverer than myself of course) to write a Firefox extension to do exactly that?

    I live in France, and have since September. I interact with French people every day.
    ... I have since been accepted into the group and having studied them in their natural habitat they appear to have developed a rudimentary form of communication, an advanced social hierarchy, and a range of basic emotions that make them seem almost human.
  8. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 1

    The trouble being that techies willing to help you with Linux are much harder for the Mr and Mrs A. Verage-Joe to get hold of than a Windows helper. I myself always used to be one of those techies with Windows but even I had to find someone one level up on the geek hierarchy from myself when it came to installing/setting up Ubuntu on my desktop. This of course does result in a bit of a chicken or egg situation with the knowledge only appearing at a lower level of the pyramid as a result of increased market share/exposure to the system and vice versa.

    IT being one of the most obvious instances of that old mantra, "Those who can do. Those who can't teach."
