  1. Beta 8 Download link on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 1

    The download link on the original page is old. It reads http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-4.0b7&os=win&lang=en-US, so just change the "7" to an "8" and voi-la! A download link like so http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-4.0b8&os=win&lang=en-US . Those from other locales may choose a diff lang or OS.

    That would be Mimsy were the Borogoves, the basis for the kid's movie "The Last Mimzy". Don't know about the other.

  7. Re:Hurry!! on Eolas vs. Microsoft Lawsuit Settled and Sealed · · Score: 1

    Just in case you didn't RTFA (*I'm shocked!*), it claims:

    Eolas is privately held, and the letter does not disclose the total number of shares outstanding in the company.

  10. Re:At least CRTs had phosphor "memory" on Video Projector on a Chip? · · Score: 1

    Ah, but lest we forget, CRTs only had one laser scanning the entire height of the screen. In this system, each scan-line has a dedicated mirror and laser. Err... at least that's what I took from the summary "... and in combination with lasers,... ". Persistence of vision might well be sufficient, when each mirror is oscillating at 2.5kHz instead of one screen at 60Hz.

  12. What goes in doesn't equal what comes out. on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    The real gotcha' is that the SS paychecks people receive today bears little or no relation to the amount of money they paid while they were working.

    Everyone's letting the debate settle on how best to "invest" your personal contribution, thereby accepting the premise that you're entitled to only what you put into the system.

  13. Re:Ring lock on Hardware That Recognizes You · · Score: 1

    Heck, why worry about magentics - use an RFID ring. All potential users of an individual gun could be issued compatible (not identical) rings. The gun could even record firing info.

  14. Re:why donate your time and money to Microsoft? on Latest Ballmergram Bashes Linux TCO · · Score: 1

    With the Windows Logo program, there is the opportunity to download those crash reports often seen running applications under Windows.

    Unless I'm really confused and it already exists, it would be interesting to develop a similar repository (maybe different ones for each distro) where the crash dumps can be stored and provided on demand to Linux app developers.

    Anyone know of any projects like this?
