  1. You need to watch more TV.... on Photos from the Surface of Venus · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... if you did, you'd remember how the Six Million Dollar Man kicked the venus Probe's ass!

    Death Probe, part 1
    Death Probe, part 2
    The Death Probe!

  2. Re:I'd buy a Sony on Palm to Buy Handspring · · Score: 1

    I bought a Clie SJ120 last weekend - was shopping the low-end, looked at a Palm Zire for $100. Dog slow, 2MB of memory and no backlight(?!) Found the Clie a couple of steps away, with an super-bright backlight, faster performance, and 16MB of memory for only $30 more than the Zire. Loving it!

  3. Re:CloudMark's SpamNet on Anti-Spam Software for Mom? · · Score: 1

    I just ditched Cloudmark Spamnet and replaced it with SpamBayes, and I'm not looking back. SpamBayes is working as well as Spamnet ever did!

    The initial setup of SpamBayes was slightly more involved than Spamnet's, but once you get past that initial step, SpamBayes is a no-brainer to use.

  4. Re:Future looks bright on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    Aside from production and marketing, there is no overhead for the producers. (emphasis added by me)

    So just what SHOULD the producers be paying for, if not the production?

  5. GNU Enterpise on Open Source for Enterprise Management? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a work in progress, but it's there (link)

  6. Re:seals considered harmful on Wing Seals Blamed in Columbia's Demise · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Where did you read that?? Last time I was in a naval reactor plant (1991, USS Theodore Roosevelt), the reactors heated water that was then circulated through a steam generator which created steam that was then carried outside of the reactor compartment to (among other things) turn a steam turbine that turned a main engine that moved the ship. That's pretty much how naval reactors work.

  7. Which bank? on Sharing MS-Access Databases, Efficiently? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seriously, I want to know. Because if it's MY bank, our relationship is over.

    I mean, Access - come ON!

  8. Re:Feature requests on Using Mozilla in Testing and Debugging · · Score: 4, Informative

    "view-source in a tab, rather than open a new window"

    I'm pretty sure that MultiZilla will let you do that.

  9. Re:yahoo bookmarks on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 1

    As long as the panel is based on an RSS feed, you can make it into a sidebar at the following URL:

    http://www.im1ru12.org/mozilla/sidebar/

    enjoy :-)

  10. Re:yahoo bookmarks on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also - you can add your Yahoo bookmarks to the Mozilla sidebar using the following procedure:

    1. Make sure your Moz sidebar is visible (press F9)
    2. Go to this page.
    3. Enter "Yahoo Bookmarks" (or whatever you want) in the Tab Name field.
    4. Enter the following URL in the Tab URL field:

      http://my.yahoo.com/internet/t/sites.html

    5. Click the Preview Tab button - this will actually add the tab to your sidebar.

    Works for me :-)

  11. Re:10 years... So similiar... on 10 Years of the World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    Moz has keyword bookmarks - click here for more info.

  12. Re:Tabs? on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1

    Heh... the other night I was flipping through TV channels and found myself really wanting to open a channel in a new tab. Is this what they mean by "convergence", or should I just fork out the $ for a PiP TV?

  13. Re:MS trying to sabotage Open Office? on BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors · · Score: 1

    well, it certainly isn't Stallman's Razor...

  14. MP2x00 display upgrades on Five Years Later, Newton Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine has designed and manufactured a backlight/touchsceen upgrade for the MP2x00 - see http://www.adago.net for more info.

  15. Quartz on Digital 4 Track Recorders? · · Score: 1

    Quartz Audio Freeware - 4 tracks for free, more tracks for $

  16. Now all we need is... on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 1

    ... a P2G app that will let us download music directly from James Hetfield's guitar.

  17. Re:MySQL haiku: get it right on Trail of Tears: MySQL, ODBC, & OpenOffice 1.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    You think that's odd? I've got a co-worker who pronounces EVERY three-letter file extension as though it was a word. "BMP" = "bump"... "DBF" = "dibbif".. you get the idea. I've been thinking about getting him a Mac just so he'd run out of things to say.

  18. Re:puke on Drama in the Desert · · Score: 2

    I believe I speak for the rest of America when I say: "How dare they have a good time!"

    Hey, I'm not saying that people, you, and the rest of America shouldn't be allowed to do whatever the hell they want to do at Burning Man. I'm just saying it's not for me and I'm glad I didn't waste the money on it.

  19. Re:puke on Drama in the Desert · · Score: 2

    The artistic side of Burning Man is such bullshit. It's like any other post-modern gathering, it's based on drugs and fucking.

    thanks for sparing me the need to say that. I used to believe I wanted to go to Burning Man, until I saw my friend's video from BM 2001. Nothing but babbling idiots on ecstacy and nonstop thumping goddamn club music. Kinda glad I skipped it!

  20. Re:The last of the V8 Interceptors on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2

    Oh shit.. I stand corrected!

  21. Re:The last of the V8 Interceptors on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you were wondering, that car was a Jensen Interceptor..

  22. Since you're in bed with MS already... on Traveling Laptops, Exchange 2000, and Multiple Profiles? · · Score: 5, Informative

    ... try Outlook Web Access, or maybe just have them use Outlook in a Terminal Services session. Either way is a hell of a lot faster than accessing the mailbox directly over dialup.

  23. Enjoy it while it lasts, skull... on Oldest American Skull Found in Mexico · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... it's only a matter of time until Strom Thurmond kicks the bucket and takes your crown.

  24. Re:Toolbars non-collapsable on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 2

    If you're referring to the PrefBar component, try pressing F8 to toggle it.

  25. Enough with the skins already! on Getting More Face Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    Winamp, Mozilla, and now THIS?? You're gonna look might silly when your face doesn't match the remaining native widgets on the rest of your body.
