  1. Re:I'm still tired and coffee'd up to my eyeballs! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    How about some motor vehicle exlusion zones too then? Your life might be easier without bikes, mine would be easier without motorists who exceed the speed limit, pass without safe clearance, cut in front of people and slam on the brakes, throw open the driver's door into the bike lane, park in bike lanes, suffer from road rage, etc.

    Are they also invisible, and not on the taskbar? Mine seem to be. If that's what the new popups are, I say bring 'em on.

    PS, they're not under my browser. They're not anywhere. Drudge gives me no popups.

    yeah, and there are 50 states. states are small.

    Hmmm.. that's actually not HTML. Here is the HTML 4.0.1 reference. No url tag.

    But it was implied.

  7. No. on Vaccine to Prevent Killing Human Beings? · · Score: 1

    First check the definition of vaccine. Then you will see that vaccine is not the word you are looking for.

    Less pedantically however, the answer is no. Right now, no amount of funding could produce such a thing. I cite no sources. It is immediately and intuitively obvious.

    Glad I could clear that up.

  8. Re:Comments on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    Haha, no offense, but that comment on slashdot seems somewhat humorous coming from someone concerned about their bandwidth.

  9. Re:Comments on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    If you're on a shared provider, I'm guessing you're not going to be the target of any google prefetching.

  10. Re:No thanks, we are just fine w/o you. on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 1

    Aside from the representation, which has already been covered, your statement is only true if you accept certain mathematical axioms which can not be proven, and must be assumed. Is that not a bias?

    That's why only cross-domain 302s should be considered bogus.

    Haha.

    Lucky you. It took me a good hour to get the original fan out, since I had to remove the motherboard to do it. Actually, that was the first time, when I tried to fix the fan. The second time, I cut it out with a scissors, at minor risk to my motherboard.

    Good ol' Abit NF7.

  15. Re:unbreakable? on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1

    That's why passwords are not "encrypted" per se, but transformed using one-way hashes. I'm surprised "someone" didn't point this fact out.

    Hey, I think I have that northbridge cooler. Though I've never mentioned it in a sig. I actually only have it because the fan that was there started making the most horrendous noise.

    Actually I was laughing out loud (when's the last time you saw that spelled out) reading your comment.

  17. Re:Maybe next year, eh? on The PC Is Not Dead · · Score: 1

    So your point is that it easier to keep 50 machines up and running than 1? That's going to be a tough sell.

  18. Re:Bad Broadband on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1

    Hardware routers are effective. If you can show me where I can buy a works-out-of-the-box stateful firewall that I can configure through a browser, or similarly conveniently that I can buy easily for $50, then I will happily use a stateful firewall. Until then, I'm using a router. I don't want to have to go dumpster diving for old computers and fuck around trying to figure out make it work.

    It's here now baby. My 40 gb ipod is filled exclusively with ripped internet radio. I guess that doesn't work with news radio about current events and such crap like that, but it works beautifully for me, and I think it might even be legal.

  24. Re:Why can't they add it to my home Google? on Google Weather Service And GMail Improvements · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No no no no no.

    One of the reason google has stomped all over the competition is they keep their interfaces simple. Adding that stuff would multiply the size of the front page. Furthermore if you really wanted that feature, it would be pretty simple to hack up some php that use the google apis or just scrape the relevant pages for the data and format it however you want.

  25. Re:Is it just me... on Google Weather Service And GMail Improvements · · Score: 1

    In my estimatino, they are becoming a jack of all trades, and a master of all trades. Every time they come out with a new feature, it kicks ass. Their old features continue to kick ass.

    May I ask which search engine you use? I'd like to try it out.
