    I seem to remember Windows scheduler being able to randomize scheduled event times within a 1 hour period. I think our RSS feeders need similar functions.

    Mother will hate me if she can't play Zuma. Since it requires ActiveX to be played, it's a minor problem.

    There isn't going to be a reassignment, per se. EAN already accomodates the US barcode by making the 13th digit a 0 by default.

    What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

    Have a linux version... with an installer.

    Or a binary version... already pre-built.

    Umm... RadialContext != mouse gestures. Kinda, sorta, I think. I'm just thinking of Mozgest, the sister project to RadialContext. That's the one with the in-browser mouse gestures. RadialContext is more of a replacement for the context menus.

    NDA. Or you break their hands.

    For example, Wil Wheaton's appearance on the World Poker Tour celebrity game. He's signed an NDA, and he's not talking about it. Well, other than the fact that it happened.

    On one show, Alex joked about a movie being amde about the whole thing. He said he would have Charlize Theron play the role of Ken Jennings. "Wrong gender, I know, but I wouldn't mind being on the same set as Charlize."

    Not nessecairly. Another tactic of offering a product at a sale price is to get the customer physically into the store where you may encourage them to select a different product (at a higher profit), or purchase other products or accessories.

  12. Re:Importing email. on Thunderbird 0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    That's one of the oldest bugs in the system. Bug 3157 is what you're looking for. If you go to Bugzilla and do a search, there's a script you can run that will do some pre-conversion on a Eudora mailbox.

    The real problem is that Eudora strips out MIME information from its e-mails and replaces it with some different HTML or XML tags to indicate an HTML mail.

    Eudora attachment imports are Bugs 205796 and 95613.

    The real work is in Bug 242948.

    Yes, because instead of passing a URL off to your webbrowser, it would have to pass the full contents of the POST.

  14. Re:Very clean! on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    Okay. They moved the profile folder for 0.9 to %APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox (windows)

    If you used the Windows installer, then it looks like the installer makes a file that tells Mozilla to use the old profile location. (I'm not certain of this, it's just what I see.)

    If you want to copy your bookamrks and such, you'll find them in the old Firefox folder. Just copy the file bookmarks.html to the new profile location.

  15. Re:Very clean! on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    The site for the radialcontext moved to radialthinking.de. You'll have to wait for a new version to be released that works with 0.9. Sorry. :-(

  16. Re:Installer and About Dialog Box on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not 0.9 yet because it isn't 0.9. It will be 0.9 when the final release is made.

    Remember, this is a release candidate.

    Neil Turner points out that this version has "A 3% increase in general speed".

    Startup will be a tiny bit slower because of the 7zip compression of the executable files.

  20. Re:Banking Hazards on Royal Bank of Canada Software Upgrade Goes Awry · · Score: 1

    Learned that the hard way. I won a scholarship which was paid directly to me as a check. I took the check to my bank, which happened to be the same bank the check was drawn from. Instead of depositing the check in my account, they deposited the check into the account the check was drawn on.

    I noticed it a couple of weeks later when I made a withdrawl, and the ATM reported my balance being less than I thought it was.

    I still had my receipt and saw that they put it in the wrong account.

    Two days later, I got a written apology from the bank, and a correction statement. The neat thing? The correction statement was a little yellow form that said "Bank Error: Deposit $500", much like the Community Chest Monopoly card that says "Bank error in your favor! Collect $200!"

    Wasn't a fine, it was a separate civil lawsuit by Earthlink against Carmack. It just used the facts from one case as evidence in the other.

    Much like the OJ Simpson wrongful death civil lawsuit vs. the California state murder case against him. (Except those decisions were split.)
