  1. Re:Awesome bar disable? on Firefox 3.1 Alpha "Shiretoko" Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unless you use Stumbleupon. If you do, every page you give a "Thumbs Up" to goes in a new folder in the "tags" section of your bookmarks. Which is fine, except the Awesome Bar indexes them too, so even if you dump your History and clear all private data, SU and the Awesome Bar will still list all your "thumbs up"ed pages.

    I don't like the awesomebar, but about 5 minutes on about:config and now it acts like FF2 again. or if you are lazy or afraid of changing settings manually, you can just download the "oldbar" extention.

  8. Re:He's just this guy, you know. on Apple After Jobs · · Score: 1

    Steve Jobs is Apple's 4 star general. Its the lower officers and soldiers doing the work, but without seeing Steve ride in on his white horse, with fire in his eyes and his sword raised high, how motivated will they be to press the next attack?

  10. Re:Too bad it didn't apply to cigarettes... on Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks · · Score: 1

    I live in an apartment and both my neighbors on either side of me smoke. I'm not too worried about second hand smoke killing me since I was a smoker for 5 years anyway, but damn if the smell isn't annoying. Its their right, but I'm certainly moving away as soon as my current lease expires. Only now do I know what a pain in the ass I was to my non-smoking neighbors back when I smoked.

    To be more accurate, Big Brother is used as more of a catch-all term for surveillance. Orwell used the term more in the sense you mean, but pop culture has watered it down to mostly meaning overbearing control.

  19. Re:Metric bah on The Largest Recorded Tsunami Was 50 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    To most Americans, their only experience with liters is a plastic soda bottle. While their volume is equal to 10cm^3, a cylindrical oblong object is not a very good example. Therefore most Americans compare it to the other bottles in the same size range, the quart. That's not a very good approximation.

  20. Re:Base ten on The Largest Recorded Tsunami Was 50 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    We use a base 10 counting system because most normal humans have 10 fingers. Had we all been the Six Fingered Man from The Princess Bride, our counting system might be a base 12. Of course the metric system would mirror that, since its whole purpose is to be based on the counting system. On a semi-related note, I regret that for Americans born in the late 70s like myself, I'll never be able to "eyeball" metric units. I have to eyeball something in imperial units and then convert the units in my head. The hardest things for me are feet to meters and MPH to KPH.

  24. Re:finally! on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I could type on an iPhone without looking at the keys, like I can on my BB, I'd get one. But while the touchscreen is cool, I like to be able to 2 thumb type and know where the keys are without looking. Plus I have dropped my BB repeatedly and except for the case showing some scratches, everything still works a-ok.

  25. Re:Who supports FISA? on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain that many Senators and most Congresspeople have no understanding of what they vote for. Only the political ramifications of a "yea" or "nay vote. I know a few former senate pages, and as I hear it most senators get a 1-5 page summary of a bill, usually drafted by a grad student or worse, an assistant.
