The Google accelerator works great in terms of speeding up the web but it seems to crash Internet Explorer when I try to play WorldWinner games. Wonder if I can tell it ignore certain website, if that will help matters.
Has anyone else experienced similar types of issues -- where ActiveX sites malfunctioned with the accelerator?
this asteroid could be a good thing as it may unite the world in a common cause against a danger that can wipe all of us out indiscriminately. yey for world peace.

last night, i got a popup message saying "updates were applied to your system and it will be rebooted in 5 minutes" - i tried to kill that process but it kept respawning. is that related to these patches? weird, i thought i had autoupdate disabled..
MEETin.org is a free, much more popular system and has very thriving communities in New York, D.C., and other large metropolitan areas. I was a member of both but meetup.com events never really got big enough to get excited over while MEETin peeps are much more fun to hang out with.
With the complexity of the subway system in NYC, I don't think that it would be a good idea to computerize the subway system. Aside from the human aspect (conductors losing their jobs), there's the question of practicality. I take the subway to and from work every day and most of the time there are so many people jam packed in the train that you end up pressed against other people in most intimate configurations. There are probably anywhere from 1000 to 2000 people riding on each train during rush hour. Also, people act irrationally: some rush into the train as the doors are closing; some hang out very close to the edge of the platform; people try to leave as others are coming in, and so forth. All in all, it's pure chaos. On top of it, there's constant changes, repairs, modifications in service, floods. I'm sorry, I just don't see a computer being able to manage all this chaos. Given how progressive the city is in other aspects, the subway system is fairly antiquated but given its enormity and complexity, that may be the only practical way to operate it?
by injesting the magic mushroom, our minds leaped forward in terms of evolutionary progress many years ago, at least accord to mckenna. the mushroom should deserve some credit in this discussion.
another interesting parallel is, how did the mushroom get here in the first place.. did it perhaps get blown in from space?
i was never a big fan of outsourcing because it takes jobs away from us but i always thought it was strange to outsource critical tasks abroad because how do you find people accountable for their actions when things go wrong, if they live in another country? it definitely gets tricky, whether the errors were intentional (to undermine us) or accidental. just imagine outsourcing the writing of our defense software to another country..
10,000 barrels saving out of 20 mil barrels is only 0.05%, that is hardly a drop in the ocean and will not achieve anything. the only real way that we will get anywhere is if we start scaling down on gusseling suv's, big cars that burn through gasoline in return for an illusion of safety. alternatively, and this is what i have done, is people should move back into the cities and use public transportation thus dissipating the cost of fuel per person to almost nothing. there was a good article in the new yorker magazine written about the efficiency of new york city because everyone uses public transportation and although the city consumes tons of energy, there's also 10 mil+ people living here and thus it is actually much more efficient than someone living out in the middle of nowhere and has to drive 10 miles each way to rent a video in a ford explorer.
epinions.com remains a good across-the-board review site, not just for hardware. good detailed specs appear next to user writeups. plus you can make money by writing reviews, which i have done.
i tried this new extension by going to http://www.popuptest.com/goodpopups.html and noticed that although it is very good at blocking unwanted popups, it doesn't work so well with popups that i would like to click. (by clicking on them) it still didn't work when i clicked on 'show this popup' on the firefox status bar..
i have been trying to set up VNC and just about have given up. the issue is, a friend of mine's corporate firewall only allows two outgoing ports, 443 and 80. the problem with trying to use VNC via the applet/browser is that even if i set up the VNC server to listen on port 80 on my computer, from from the corporate network my friend can not get past the login screen. what's happening is that the http-applet portion runs on port 80 but once you are authenticated, control is forwarded to port n+100, or port 180. that seems to confuse the firewall and a NoRouteToHost exception is thrown. i have tried every possible method but can not seem to get past this problem. what is lacking in the world is an http-based VNC-like solution which would work for people behind very restrictive firewalls. i have yet to find such a solution:(
i have written a fantastic review of my cellphone, which i use as both a small computer as well as an all-purpose device while traveling. it has an alarm clock, a notepad, calendar, etc, and it's so small it fits into a cigarette box. i love it -- would never get a blackburry because it's a waste, too bulky. who needs it when you have T9?

also like any computer, my phone has "crashed" once. it was very interesting. there was some sort of a corruption on the memory chip and i lost my "desktop image" and games.

downloading this new extension seems to work much better though, very nice.

too bad i won't see the firefox ad in the new york times since i am using firefox with an ad-blocking/popup-stopping script. muahaha.
now if only worldwinner's security could be defeated.. one could make quite a buck through that system.
sounds great but would be nicer when they can shrink it down in size so it could be worn on your person.

also it supports j2me which is sweet.
