  1. Outline mode on Word Processors: One Writer's Retreat · · Score: 1

    I like using Outline view in Word when I'm working on documentation. It makes it easy to break down the document into logical areas. I don't have to worry about styling, just which level each scetion is.

    I guess there are other outlining tools around

  2. ntlworld on AltaVista UK Withdraws Unmetered Service In UK · · Score: 1

    Well after several months of waiting, we finally got our ntlworld CD at the weekend. It's a free - including free phone calls - service, as long as you are an NTL telephone customer and you spend at least 10 pounds per month with NTL.

  3. Re:These people should be ashamed. on SETI Accelerator Hoax Revealed · · Score: 1

    Is this post a hoax? I find it very amusing!

  4. set top boxes on AOL/Gateway/Transmeta Team for Internet Appliance · · Score: 2
    People don't want another device around. If AOL want to capture more market they should be looking at getting people on the internet through their TVs.

    Here in the UK email and internet through your TV is one of the things that the digital TV companies are pushing to compete. Offered the choice between another device or getting the internet through the TV, I think the people who have not got a PC by now are far more likely to go for the TV option.

    (yeah yeah I know, you get crappy resolution through your TV, and you still have to have an extra box attached to it... but it seems to be one of those things that says 'easy to use' better than any separate device)

  5. Re:Pizza and twinkies? on A Profile of Coders · · Score: 1
    In Japan they sell beer in the vending machines. I don't know how the hell they get any coding done.

    Maybe they have some willpower.

  6. phone number on Linkage between Cell-phone Usage and Long Term Memory Loss · · Score: 1
    I'd use my mobile phone much more. If only I could remember the number to tell people...

  7. Originality? on More Info on Matrix Sequels · · Score: 1
    I don't agree that the Matrix was really that original. A whole world of people manipulated and controlled, with one hero with special powers discovered to save them?... sounds like Dark City to me.

    Computer geeks dressed like goths... sounds like half my friends ;-)

    And I think William Gibson might have something to say on the idea of a virtual world

    Original, no. Good entertainment, definitely! Please let Trinity wear black PVC again in the sequels!

  8. Re:Audio Tools, where did xmms go? on Linux Journal 1999 Readers' Choice · · Score: 1
    I mean, xmms is pretty much the best audio tool on the linux platform, and we don't get to choose it?

    I thought there was more than that - there were several categories where my favourite wasn't one of the choices. I suppose they can't list everything, but for example for mailers there are a lot more around than they have on the list. Did anyone else find themselves just filling in the comment box for each category?
