  1. Missing the joke on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 1

    It's not news; it's funny.

    Inconsistent use of SI units and international standard paper sizes remain today a primary cause for U.S. businesses failing to meet the expectations of the global economy.

    Bwaaaa-haa-haa-ha-ha-ha!

  2. BestWebBuys on Websites For The Frugal? · · Score: 2, Informative

    These guys are sort of a consolidator of other sites. I use them for books - enter an ISBN and they'll tell you the price with and without shipping at several dozen online stores. Very handy. They also list prices on electronics, music, movies, and bikes(??).

  3. Re:An interesting...commercial? on AOL-Time/Warner's PVR to Skip Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    I recorded the Super Bowl on my Tivo just for the commercials. But the damn game turned out to be interesting and we wound up watching it too.

  4. Re:Been there done that on Fast Alpha-Blending In Your GUI · · Score: 1

    I wrote a quick hack like this (GlassyWindows) a few months ago. I do use it occasionally for transparent notepads, calculators, and download windows, but I haven't released it publicly for lack of usefulness. Got a few more things to add, too.

  5. More power on 'Roofing' Your Cubicle? · · Score: 1

    Forget the roof. Just overpower the flourescents with halogen floodlights. You won't even notice the wimpy flicker-poles up there anymore. Of course, you will need a very bright monitor, some sunglasses, sunscreen and large portable air conditioner unit.
