  1. Re:A broken bit of keyboard handling on IE UI Designer On His Switch To FireFox · · Score: 1

    If you want to go to your homepage, and this works under the Linux and Win version of FF ( I don't use a Mac ) hit Alt-Home as in the Home, End, etc. keys. One less keystroke.

    Now take this same experiment and perform it on a group of married men. 12 hours, heh heh. From my dry parched lips, "I'de hit it!"

    Err, I dunno about the rest of you but I can do that with almost all of my fingers. Not quite 90 degrees, but probably about 65, 70.

    If I had to have a natural diamond I'd wait for a Martian one.

    Or you could buy Canadian diamonds.

    or, "I like your ass, can I wear it as a hat?" or something like that :)

  8. Re:smelling the future on Creatine Found to Boost Brainpower · · Score: 1

    its funny you should mention that, I've used it for a couple of years and have talked to may other people who have used it both irl and on chat forums. whenever someone complains about stomach cramps or other problems the question to them was "how much water are you drinking?" in almost every case the person complaining of problems had an insufficient water intake. once they started drinking more water the problem was solved.

    i know you were trying to be funny but it's these short little blurbs about creatine and (mentioned in another post) ephedra that make it sound absolutely horrible without qualifying the statement. btw, in cases of people taking ephedra/ephedrine and dying more often than not there were other mitigating factors. like shitty health in the first place, or taking obscenely high amount and dying from an overdose.

    i just get irratated when people say, "someone died! lets ban it!" before taking a look at the whole picture...

  16. Re:Wow - CmdrTaco pissed off on Tech Stocks Tumble · · Score: 5

    a non-story??

    The stock market takes a hit greater than it did on Black Monday in '87, lossing over a Trillion dollars in the US and a shitload everywhere else and its a "non-story"? I don't know about you people but I would definitly file this under "Stuff that matters". Mind you though, the market is only back down to the level it was 6 months (or a year?) ago.

  17. Re:Never use any of them. on AT&T Re-ignites Instant Messaging War · · Score: 1

    Why on earth do people need these things? What is wrong with an email. If you need to contact someone really quickly, why not use that other piece of incredibly useful technology. We call it a phone.

    Why? hmm.. lessee, Long distance rates maybe? Not all the people I chat with are on the same continent. I am but a poor starving student, I can't affort to pay all these long distance charges on top of my internet access, tuition, etc...
