    Give it a look here. Picture linked to from this page, but the page size is huge, more than a MB.

  4. Re:Hmmm... I gotta go visit home soon... on Marvel Universe Is Almost Like *Real Life* Society · · Score: 2

    I personally think all women should look and dress this way!

    Hmmm. Stay away from the Brickyard 400. You don't seem to be familiar with NASCAR ladies.

    "Aw, Cletus, stop that! My parents are watching!"
    "They's my parents too."

    The Indy 500, of course.

  6. Damn straight on Marvel Universe Is Almost Like *Real Life* Society · · Score: 2

    I know I have to elbow my way through beautiful women with enormous, gravity-defying breasts clad only in miniscule, skin-tight leather outfits every day. But, maybe that sort of thing is confined to Indianapolis.

    Never Give up Hope Songs (I wonder if her sister still lives in Alabama)

    Don't you mean "I wonder if MY OTHER sister still lives in Alabama"?

  10. Re:Well, what's the DESKTOP killer app? on Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? · · Score: 2

    The "throbber" is the little picture that animates when a page is loading, IIRC. Upper right corner of the browser window in Netscape 4.x and the last version of Mozilla I used.

  11. Re:Well, what's the DESKTOP killer app? on Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? · · Score: 2

    Note to self: download latest Mozilla build and try this out.

    What do people need?

    Porn. Get the various streaming media formats supported on Linux. Get the various video formats supported. Get the various "features" of broken web-browsers supported in Linux browsers. Once all the features of porn sites are easily accessible using Linux, then success will come.

  19. Re:Computing pet peeves on Computing Pet Peeves? · · Score: 2

    If you offer resizable windows... try them out at at LEAST 1600x1200 pixels, and make sure they still use the screen space.

    Go down to at least 640x480 too. As a number of our users have deteriorated sight, the apps that require 800x600 or higher to get the whole thing on the screen are inexcusable.

    Marquis de Sade

    Looks like you misspelled "Microsoft".

  21. Re:Pet Peeves/requests of an HCI designer on Computing Pet Peeves? · · Score: 2

    Opera has a progress bar that's pretty accurate. It doesn't use time as it's measurement, it uses the percentage on the requested page loading, as best it can tell.

  22. Re:The obvious choice on Personal Transport? · · Score: 2

    Well, his question is asking for alternatives to the Segway, because of price and weight.

    Most likely, since Microsoft is now a competitor, it'll be the TriForce of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. To put it together, you'll have to collect the three pieces and assemble the 8 sections of the EULA:

    Waiver of Fair Use

    Power of Attorney

    Surrender of First-Born Male Offspring

    Only Positive, Nintendo-Approved Reviews

    Opt-In Spam Signup

    Wearing of Nintendo Official Clothing

    I have a Master System, Genesis and Sega CD 1. My brother has the Sega Game Gear, and the Master System adapter for Game Gear. I still play the Phantasy Star games, and the Lunar games for the platforms I have.
