    it's all about Wiki's these days. they're easier to keep up to date b/c more are looking at them, they're a perfect place for ppl to dump newbie 'gotchas' into, thus being more relevant.

    I've thought about this, but couldn't he have jammed it in neutral? Or was that controlled by computer as well? How about the parking brake? There has to be some "cntl-alt-delete" equivanlent to 'override' a computer, otherwise it's just 2001: A Space Oddessy all over again!

    Can't they 'bundle' the trash and drop it towards earth? I expect it would all burn up into ash once it starts in the upper atmosphere, and shouldn't liter on the ground.

    Am I missing something?

    With everyone and their brother developing a seach portal (or an online music store) I think it's a far better ideal to lean how to use Google; you countries locale and/or the Google Hacks book. Really, there's not much I haven't been able to do/find with Google.

    Really, IE is just so out of date I can't imagine anyone using it unless they have to. I'm still showing off Firefox at my work, but only have 2 others using it. Now that it's about to go 1.0 it should be easier, I love the RSS feature, the Https 'yellow' highlighting and the find-as-you-type new features of 1.0.

    All in all I think the only thing that IE is good for is to cause my Mom's Dell to download viruses and trojans so I get the Support call!

  13. Re:FAA? on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    here here, while I'm not happy to hear about this accident, there is little focus or sympathy for the estimated 12-14,000 Iraqis who have been killed by US forces over the past 3 years. That's huge. And while 9/11 was terrible, look at home many more we've taken out, and yes, most of those are civilians. Is there any surprise that we we're greeted as liberators?

    Read, and learn, more about what we've done:

  16. Change is good... on Interview with Tom Lord of Arch Revision System · · Score: 2, Informative

    while my company is stuck in CVS, Subversion is not going to be too big a jump. As the build manager I'm heading up the switch, and love the similarities, and the advantages of svn. I've installed/played with ARCH, however I've never gotten very comfortable with it. While I don't think it would be very hard to learn, there's certainly a learning curve that others will have to go through.

  17. Sounds interesting... on Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell · · Score: 1

    I like the idea of a lost art or power that is waiting to be discovered and used by a current generation. It's been said that there is no new art, and that it's all a reflection of the past. Still, the constant striving towards a new way to express ones self seems to be an ongoing theme in everyones' life; it gives them purpose.

    This reminds me of stories like Indiana Jones, to The Blues Brothers! Truely a universal ideal.
