  1. Tabbed File manager on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 1

    Can anyone recommend a tabbed File Manager for WinXP to replace Explorer? Like a tabbed web browser, it has multiple windows open at a time, but instead of web pages, you have different directories open. Drag+Drop moving is ultra easy, and you can have all your important file locations open at once.

  2. Re:Profit on SCO and Baystar Strike a Deal · · Score: 1

    Where's the "-2 Wrong & Redunant at the same time" mod when you need one...

  3. Re:Isn't the point of velcro on Metal Velcro · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Space Shuttle heat tiles are ceramic, not metal. Metal would tend to conduct heat, not insulate from it.

  4. Re:google translation - have fun. on "Decryption" of Bush Memo · · Score: 1

    gratin == cream?

    As in "cream of the crop," the best guys in cryptography were there in Switzerland.

  5. Re:WHY! WON'T! IT! DIE! on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    "Nothing would please me more than being able to hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software."

    Holy shit.

  6. Re:Mozilla vs. Firefox on Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Branch · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can switch to FireFox and get that functionality with the MozFBRH extension. It allows you to middle-click on the Forward and Back (Reload and Home also have extra functionality, hence the acronym) buttons to open up a new tab with forks of the history.

  7. Re:OLED influenced as well? on Rocket Fuel Speeds Transistors · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hydrazine doesn't play nicely with organics, and there's no tin sulphide in an OLED, so no.

  8. Re:The list of channels in play... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    They're starting to raise the rates next month.

  9. Re:Try branching out.. on Singularity Sky · · Score: 1

    Wasp Factory is a tough one - tough to read, that is, but worth it if you push on to the end.

  10. Re:How high? on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 1

    No, Helium-1 would be an atom with 2 protons but only having the mass of one. Which is impossible.

  11. Why not a wheel? on Mice In Space · · Score: 2, Interesting
    From the article:
    No wheels, though, says Wooster, because NASA has learned that exercise can counteract some of the effects of low-gravity on astronauts. A mouse with a wheel in its cage can actually run several miles a day. "We don't want to give the mice a countermeasure in terms of exercise."
    Why not? If you gave a few mice wheels (or is that wheel mice?), you'd get more data on how exercise would help mars-onauts.
  12. Re:The scouring of the shire on A Return Of The King Review · · Score: 1

    You're so wrong, you must be a troll.

  13. My Heinlein picks on For Us, The Living, by Robert A. Heinlein · · Score: 1

    As long as we're giving out dos and don'ts, here are my Heinlein Do-reads:

    The Puppet Masters
    Double Star
    The Door Into Summer
    Starship Troopers

    None should be a disappointment.

  14. Re:So 600 doses... on Blowfish Poison Derivative Could Be A Painkiller · · Score: 1

    You totally rule.

    I totally already know that.

  15. Re:All information is discovered. on Second Life Recognizes IP Of User-Created Objects · · Score: 1

    Me.

  16. I hope... on Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Molecules · · Score: 1

    ...no one gets their Ph.D. from this work.

  17. These guys are toast in '04 on House Votes to Launch Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The eight who voted against the bill were: Ron Paul, R-Texas; Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; Kendrick Meek, D-Fla.; Tim Ryan, D-Ohio; Ted Strickland, D-Ohio; Lee Terry, R-Neb.; Rob Bishop, R-Utah, and Chris Cannon, R-Utah.

  18. Re:SCO's plan on SCO's Plan Examined · · Score: 1

    DirecTV's business plan? Providing a service? OMG!!!!1!!!

  19. Re:industry problem? on Semiconductor Employees Suing IBM · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure none of those will give you brain cancer. Definitely not acids or bases of any strength.

    You're welcome. Have fun with Firebird.

  21. Re:Where do you think H2 comes from? on Nucular Hydrogen Economy · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why does everybody on /. think that methane is CH3?

    Remember your high-school chemistry, folks, methane is CH4.

  22. Re:zero-g beaker on Water-Only Thin Films In Space · · Score: 1

    Never mind. It's just a plastic baggie.

  23. zero-g beaker on Water-Only Thin Films In Space · · Score: 1

    What is a zero-g beaker?

    Can I buy one from Chemglass?

  24. What happens... on USPS To Offer Free E-Mail · · Score: 1

    ...when you move?

  25. Re:Is it desirable? on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 3

    "Is it desirable? Warcraft III, Diablo II, Deus Ex, and a host of other games help warrant my vote: yes."

    This brings up a good point - why not just try to build on OS that runs DOS/Win* games? Forget Office - I'm sure there are plenty of people out there w/a win partition just so they can play. Cook up a lean, mean, windows butt-kicking, game playing machine & then we're talkin'.
