  3. Re:pr0n poll on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    where do you get BT porn? i've looked, but not found. I'm all about apps and tv shows via BT, but I'm still stuck on USENET for porn.

    errr, Atrios/Eschaton gets more than a million visitors a month. Not exactly your small potato.

    See here and here.

  9. standardised medical embedded gui on Integrating A GUI Into An Existing Medical Device · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ok, why is this special? it's a standardised embedded gui for medical systems. you know, like the ones offered by half a dozen other companies (symbian, qnx, etc)

    I guess it's because you get to code in html instead of C. Great, so now you can hire a TOTAL idiot html jockey to design your life-and-death medical interface instead of a (slightly-) better-trained C programmer?

    Whoop tee doo.

  10. Re:Trying to switch from Mozilla... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1

    see comment #8 in that bug. The original fix was a mozilla pref switch; that's what doesn't work anymore. Now you have to delete/rename the HKCR\HTTP\shell\open\ddeexec key. The registry trick is currently working for me.

  11. Re:Trying to switch from Mozilla... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    You need an Firebird extension -- Tab Browser Extension -- which sometimes works on its own, and sometimes needs help from the registry (this is a win32 problem only, AFAIK).

    Related mozilla bug is here: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172962 (copy & paste into new tab/window; bugzilla rejects slashdot referrers)

    Inline autocomplete-- go to chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref.xul in Firebird (copy the location as above). Go to Navigator > Smart Browsing > Location Bar Autocomplete. Sorry, I don't remember the value of the actual pref in prefs.js.

    With Tabbrowser Extensions, you can do just that.

  15. Re:2100... on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 1

    As many have pointed out, the newer 2000/2100 2.x Newtons' HWR was the shiznat. Best, FASTEST HWR I've ever seen. I loved that bigger screen, too. With all the miniaturization these days, they could make a skinny light Newton these days for cheap, and (IMHO) make a killing.

  16. In communist Russia,... on MP3 Player In An AK-47 Magazine · · Score: 1

    In communist Russia, MP3 players are for hiding bullets!

    In communist Russia, this is digital music: policeman with AK-47 is 1, and you are 0!
