  1. funny tab title on Where Computers Go To Die · · Score: 3, Funny

    My tab in Firefox says:

    Slashdot: Where Computers Go To Die.

    Struck me as funny anyway.

  2. Re:It's a plugin on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 1

    I was too lazy to preview, so now I've got to post to correct my own post:

    "...FF download is right from..."

    Stand by for further corrections.

  4. Re:Real world vs. fanboy fantasies on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 1

    Linux 7.0 webserver? That's a bigger number than IIS5. Where can I get such a fine software product?

  5. Re:well, I fight fires. on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    My volunteer department has quite a few IT/geek types in it. Of course, we live near AOL and MCI headquarters, so there's plenty of IT work in the area. You wouldn't think firefighting and geeks would go together, but I guess that's just a stereotype.

    Glad to meet another brother FF here. I'd suspect there are a few more around.

  6. Re:The question is moot anyways on Could Nuclear Power Wean the U.S. From Oil? · · Score: 1

    If the US were really out to steal oil it would be much easier to go to Canada.

    Not always true. OJ was never able to get the killer caught.

  8. Re:Upside-down on Rescuers Prep for Hybrid Car Accidents · · Score: 1

    It is possible to remove the roof on an upside down car. I've only done it it training, though. The basic idea is you support the rest of the car somehow then slide the roof out after it's cut free. Not always useful, but possible.

  9. Re:The 'help' command on The Command Line - Best Newbie Interface? · · Score: 1

    perhaps something like: foobar --help
    Some results may still be too complex though.

  10. Sound activated on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 1

    We have traffic signal control devices at major intersections in our first due area that are controlled by the siren on emergency vehicles. It's got directional sensors that are smart enough to tell which direction you're approaching from to clear traffic in the proper direction. Don't know any technical details, sorry.

  11. Death to the PLFG! on Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo · · Score: 1

    Long live the Gentoo Liberation Peoples' Front!

  12. Re:Very similar concept to Memento:Corrected Link on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    Try this link instead.

  13. Re:DVD quality? on Robotech DVDs Released! · · Score: 1

    Video quality is OK, but not spectacular. No attempt was made to clean it up, one assumes in an effort to keep thet price down. Still very watchable. Audio is fine, but in the original mono. Check out the forums on http://www.robotech.com for more. Membership required to read.

  14. Don't forget the Agenda on On the Question of Handhelds: iPaq Best? · · Score: 5

    I've recently found my Agenda to be very usable after all the work that's gone on. You can get a pretty good deal with the developer model as well. See http://www.agendacomputing.com/ for the mostly finished site. See http://developer.agendacomputing.com/ for the developer deal, and see http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~acedil1/agenda/ for more information about the community supporting it.

  15. funky camera angles? on Motion Sickness In 3D Games? · · Score: 1

    I experienced a similar problem with Super Mario 64. Eventually I discovered that it was because of the camera angles. The camera following Mario didn't react as I expected it to, so I'd get dizzy. After my brain learned what to expect, the symptoms went away.
