  1. Re:Best Replacement for Brick and Mortar Customers on Web Logs Finally Meet Sim City · · Score: 1

    I had to try it, it reminds me of Doom for Sys Admins...

    I manage a B2B site and the one thing the marketing people want is the ability to track our customers. This app does that and more, it's really interesting to see how people navigate our site before they decide to buy something. Maybe I'll add features to the pages that get visited the most or improve the pages that are used least often. It's really slick and it's really easy to setup too.

    giving me a seizure.....

    Why does everything have to involve flashing lights?

    I was at Universal Studios last weekend and I couldn't ride any of the rides because they all had a warning about "Side effects may induce seizures for certain people".

    I am supposed to walk around with my eyes closed now so I don't look at one of these stupid phones?

    What a stupid idea.

  4. My Only Complaint on Firefox/Thunderbird Plugins: Is Less More? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this...

    script language="JavaScript"

    function foo(){
    bar();
    shizzle();
    }

    function bar(){
    document.write("Bling\n");
    }

    function shizzle(){
    document.write("Bling\n");
    }

    The function foo() will cause FireFox to only write "Bling" instead of "Bling Bling". The function also causes the page to 'hang'.
    This script will work in IE. Let's not give people an excuse to stick with IE because websites X,Y and Z do not work with FireFox.

    Your right it does a great job but beware. I ran it on a users PC and it found the Netsky virus in an email and decided to delete her entire inbox. The virus should have never made it through, we use Postini for email filtering. Damn laptop users, oh well that's a different story....

    Your missing my point...

    Dean Edwards has taken it upon himself to make Internet Explorer W3C compliant

    IE should already be W3C compliant, why does it become our problem when a browser doesn't follow standards?

    how would you propose the web developers get all their users to switch to another browser before visiting their websites?

    How's this? =D

    function getFireFox(){
    if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
    location = "http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/";
    }
    }

    body onLoad="getFireFox();"

    this hack really does show the power of IE that you can deploy a script fix to browser problems.

    Maybe 'the powerful IE developers' should fix this problem themselves.

    "pay mill-owner for permission to come to work"



    I walked into this titty bar and saw one of the strippers sitting at the bar crying. I asked the bartender why she was crying, he said that the owner makes all the strippers pay $20 to come and work. I was like,"Yeah, well why is she crying?". The bartender leans over and says "She's only made $21 tonight".


    Ouch. Isn't the lap dance better when the stripper is crying?


  14. Re:I believe it. on Caffeine vs Type II Diabetes · · Score: 1

    I don't see how drinking coffee helps your bloodsugar. It should actually make you feel worse. Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline which will cause your symptoms of hypoglycemia to increase (which sucks ass). Unless you are putting a lot of sugar in your coffee, it won't help you raise your bloodsugar. Coffee has 0 carbs.
