  1. Re:Open? on Firefox Tab Candy Alpha · · Score: 1

    That's too many tabs. I have my IM client alert me to my web mail, keep open at most three tabs (unless I'm searching and then it can get up to 12-15 tabs).

    I do love the magic url bar. It's history recommendations are spot on (:

    Facebook never permanently deletes your stuff, though. Read the ToS.

    well ok, not quite 7k (not even 2k, actually). But it's still a lot (1830, not including live bookmarks and folders). I just counted them. Gah. Too many.

    I have probably around 7k bookmarks.

    that's what I thought. I use tabs to keep multiple sites open while I'm at the computer. Otherwise, bookmarks and history.

    I will be filing a patent for my method on submitting comments to websites that involve the use of a mouse, keyboard, computer, and monitor.

    (as opposed to using the local version of the "proof" system devised for whiskey, which I seem to recall was calibrated according to how high a cannonball went when you mixed the drink with gunpowder).

    That guy deserves a medal. (:

    Perhaps, but do you realize how difficult, even with pre-packaged software, it is to setup and maintain your own e-delivery system? I'd rather pay someone (in the form of a commission on sales or some other agreeable setup) to distribute it for me, especially if they already are in the public consciousness. Otherwise I'd have to spend money I don't have on a website, hosting, SSL certificate, possibly merchant accounts (I'm not sure how trusting I would be of PayPal if I got really popular), ADVERTISING. This way all I have to do is setup a facebook fan page, a twitter account and possibly even an alternate facebook profile (if I already had a personal one), link to my book on Amazon (or even a simple website with a link to the Amazon page with my book) and profit. Everything I just did was absolutely free (as in no additional cost (aside from additional time spent doing my own guerrilla marketing) from my current day-to-day activities).

    Win-win (unless your Random House or some other PH or imprint).

    I don't know. Seems you are missing the point. Check out the site and join the list (it's a pretty friendly bunch).

    CopyFree is basically BSD and Apache-style licenses.

  16. Re:Good! on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seems to me that the literary agents are already doing marketing for their clients to publishers, for ebooks they could take the same cut they are now and go right to the distributor. "Hey Jeff baby, I got this book that'd be perfect in eBook/PDF for your Kindle and bring you loads of moolah. Lets do lunch."

    I think people get a little miffed when they find that using GPL software got them more than they bargained for.

    Exactly why I don't use the GPL anymore. It's infectious. It's junk for true open-source. This is just copyleft (not that it's claimed otherwise) and is no better than copyright.
