  1. Re:/s/million/billion on Ultra-Dense Galaxies In the Early Universe · · Score: 1

    Oops - off by an order of magnitude

    Three orders of magnitude, Shirley. (10^^6 vs 10^^9)

  2. Re:Better Ways on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    With the amount of spam coming from forged senders, your bounces contribute to the spamload of otherwise innocent folks.

    Just wait until some spammer forges *your* address in their From: and Reply-to: headers.

  3. Re:Deep linking still works for me... on Google Revises Usenet Search · · Score: 1

    Yes, that works... if it's a thread with only one article. Try that with a multi-article thread, and you'll see that it doesn't work.

  4. Correction on Google Revises Usenet Search · · Score: 2, Informative
    ... has been eliminated, as has the ability to deep link to a single post.

    This is incorrect. It's still possible to link to a single post - it's just the old URLs for a single post have now broken. For example, http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=E_-cnfXDhMqTV rTdXTWc-w%40speakeasy.net&oe=UTF-8&output=gpla in, which used to be a link to a post in alt.fan.cecil-adams has now become http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.fan.cecil- adams/msg/99339841838c82ea?dmode=source.

    Next to every post in a thread is an options button. One of the options is "Show Original", which links to a single post, with all original headers intact.

    I'll miss the ability to search by date, though.

  5. PC Gamer's June 2003 issue... on Half Life 2 To Appear At E3 · · Score: 1

    ... has a huge story on HL2. God bless subscriptions. :-)

    The chix0r on the cover is Alyz Vance, "a non-playable buddy sidekick who is the daughter of one of those generic balding scientists who populated Black Mesa".

    Screenshots look *awesome*. Details are a little lacking in the article, but it's 9 pages of upcoming gaming goodness.

  6. Inferno on Ask Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    My older sister gave me copies of _Ringworld_ and the then just-published _Ringworld Engineers_ for my 14th birthday, and I was *hooked*. The book in your extensive repertoire that impressed me the most was _Inferno_.

    What led you and Jerry to re-write such a classic piece of literature?
