  1. So Far So Good on Firefox 4 Released! · · Score: 1

    The only indispensable extension that I use NoScript, XMark have been 4.x compatible already. The one other must have extension is All-In-One Mouse Gesture have a hackable version that I can live with for now. Two of my infrequently use extension haven't been updated yet, but they don't have too much development activities, and I'm not too worry.

  2. Just reclassify it as a heating device on Activists Seek Repeal of Ban On Incandescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Afterall, it's quit energy efficient to do that particular job.

    Someone actually start importing it as heat ball.

    Not for nothing, but when I'm playing SC2, the fans on my computer went about 10-15 decibel louder, indicated significant heat.

  6. Re:All In One Mouse Gestures LiveHTTPHeader on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Released · · Score: 1

    OK, there's a way to get around the version check, and All in One Mouse Gesture doesn't exactly totally work, but here it goes:

    at the address bar, type in:
      about:config
    Right click and add a new boolean:
      extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6
    and set the value to false.

    This will allow the extension to run, albeit, no guarantee.

    Fails for me. I kept on trying to use gesture to close tab.

  10. Re:Hopefully it will cut down on affiliate-link sp on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    Ok, that's your take, here's mine. California is currently in this fix because they hand out gold plated salary and benefit to the state worker union during the boom time and assumed that the boom time will last forever. The so call cuts currently being contemplated are cuts to the scheduled increases in salary and benefits. The problem is not with revenue, but with spending. We've already pass the largest state tax increase in history this past Feburary, and that's still not enough. People who actually pay taxes in California is not in the mood to pay any more just because the Legislature have to satisfy their master, state workers unions.

    The smiley button is definitely there. Look at the Vietnam footage featuring a jovial Comedian flame torching some Viet Con. It's part of his post 60s custom.

    Seriously, does she want to be remove from the gene pool? Doing this is a location to get the rise out of the security guard might be worth a couple giggle back at MIT Media Lab, but have she thought of the aftermath? Logan Airport should send her a bill for their time and effort wasted. Anyone who's travel got disrupted by her act should also send her a bill. Perhaps a couple of hundred thousand of dollar should jolt some bit of common sense into her.

    This just proved that not only is the CO2 on Earth killing the baby seals in the Arctic Ocean, it's actually causing Solar Storm from the sun. Is there no end to Bush's evil?

  17. Re:But you *can* Google it... on Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing · · Score: 1

    There was a serial killer who was convicted in part to an online map print out. The local TV station was doing a sob life story of one of his victims. He in turn went to the local library, and use an online map service and narrowed the map down to the actual spot where he left his next victim. He then send a print out of the map to the station.

    Police subpoenaed the internet service on who did the exact search (it help that he did multiple zoom), and trace it back to the library. Further subpoenaed on the Library & their computer identified the killer. I believe he's now serving multiple life sentence for the multiple murders he committed.

    IBM's lawyers from New York Cravath, Swaine & Moore is one of the most expensive ones money can hire. Those lawyers in terms uses an army of paralegals & specialists for mountains of paperwork & other details. You can start adding up the billable hours. This has truly been a waste of everyone's time.

    I raid. I'm getting sick of 7-8 FPS in AQ40 & Naxx. From time to time, it dropped down to 1 FPS.

  22. Re:Just a ruse; top gear will simply be other grin on Surprising Burning Crusade Details for WoW · · Score: 1

    Don't be fooled into thinking that 25 man raids means that your chance to drop top-end gear will be improved. If you read the rest of today's announcement, the intention is to shift top-end rewards from raiding to PvP, honor and reputation grinding.

    IN other words, grinding will still be the way you get the best gear, it just won't be raid grinding.

    hopefully Blizz begins concentrating development on actually making the war between teh Horde and the Alliance a war. More outdoor world PvP with geo-political and economic consequences should be incorporated into the game so that players can actually begin generating their own content and conflicts rather than running on one of three or four kinds of treadmills. Todays announcement about including a capturable city was a good start, but I wonder if this approach can be retro-fitted onto the existing zones and cities? Could you imagine how amazing it would be to see full-scale Horde attacks on Stormwind, or to log-in one day to find that the Alliance have blockaded Onyxias lair? I reckon we'd actually have a game that was perpetually amusing on our hands.

    If you cannot get into a top end 40 man raiding guild, the new top end 25 man raid instance won't be any improvement either. The casual's odd of getting into a guild that will be doing the new instance actually got dramatically reduced as the top end guild wil now have to recruit even more carefully. If you don't have the gear and the experience of doing raid, you still won't be getting the top end gears.
