FireFox could really use a meta-extension to package other combinations of extensions, sortof like how with apt-get you can install/update container packages that just group together other packages. It gets to be pain to round up the latest versions of all my extensions manually for various hosts.
Hah - I installed that exact bulk printing system you linked to for my SO a couple months ago, and it works like a charm. Cheap, cheap ink, and less hassle without reordering and changing carts all the time.

This July, when DRM-free HDTV tuners becomes extinct, I hear that in China there will be born a new mutant species of HDTV tuner that somehow ignores the broadcast flag. My friend Al says he's all set to begin importing them too (but don't ask where he hides 'em).:-)
I've read a couple of your other posts that went along similar lines of "I just don't trust this wimpy balloon! Give me good ol' steel any day!" and I just gotta get off my chest: FUCK, your attitude irritates me!
What you need to do is to reevaluate your romantic notions of the superiority of tincan capsules, since tests have shown that these inflatable habs are MORE than capable. IMO, you've just got a bad case of unknown risk aversion and perception-reality misalignment. It's all in your head.
...we cannot even imagine how quickly we are going to see new technology become realities.
Sure we can, if you've got a mind that's not easily shocked:
You see, advancing technology is an evolutionary process, and, as with any evolutionary progress, it proceeds exponentially.
So read up about the Law of Accelerating Returns & Singularity. Grandma ain't seen nothing yet (assuming she lives long enough to reach the crossover point).
They're not STUPID (if not religious), it's just that they have irrational empathy for a lump of cells that has "human potential". A lot of overlap with the anthropomorphizing animal rights crowd too. IMO.
Worked fine for me in FireFox, but I did have to bypass two adfilters to see it.:)
First, I had to click the FlashBlock icon to get it to play (since autostarting flash is a dumb idea when it's almost always an annoying ad). Second, my default Privoxy install helpfully blocked the flash movie from playing since there's a nasty "/ads/" redflag in the URL.
Humans have a natural desire to own material things.
Moreover, us humans evolved in environments of scarcity, and so we desire what's physically scarce to secure our survival. When faced with abundance, the best survival tactic isn't to hoard it in an attempt to make it artificially scarce for private gain, but to SHARE it with others and gain favors and reputation instead of contempt and a dagger in the back. This is the ancient gift economy, and it needs a modern revival to counter the would-be IP hoarders...
Ooo. I can't wait to hear the apple zealots rant again against THIS instance in reverse engineering. "I mean, come on people, Apple is trying to play fair here! why can't you just accept this little DRM compromise?! Wah wah."
Thanks again for reminding me why you're on my/. Foe list, you corporate control-freak lawyer-wannabe "property"-ignorant tool. btw, you can buy pot at the park, and bit-for-bit DVDs any ChinaTown near you.
Personally, I thought that the Pets.com Sock Puppet was very offensive; it was obviously possessed by evil demon-seed and scared my innocent children half to death! All good christians know that socks are used for dirty masturbatory purposes and can cum to life!
Anyway, I am glad that this upcoming G-Rated SuperBowl wouldn't allow such a dirty puppet on-air! They even renamed the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" to the "The Best DARN Sports Show Period". God bless their hearts.
Yeah yeah, the tired old "women like to shop! and I'm a whipped married guy just like you poor saps so lets co-miserate!" joke. yawn. Go watch your King of Queens.
If you REALLY wanted to get free WiFi banned in the interest of "national security" (but actually in the interest of special interest), then the best way to do it would be to have "someone" plant some bombs in high profile locations where they were meant to be discovered; possibly have a FEW blow up just to make sure peoples' 9-11 knees are a jerk'n. Upon closer examination of the bombs it would be determined that they were to be triggered remotely via anonymous 802.11x. Let the media run wild with the story and a few days later propose the prepared bill.
Then find another girlfriend who isn't interesting in playing the "top materialistic bitch" game. Then again, you probably can't afford (pun intended) to be choosey.
Indeed, VMWare is great for testing out dangerous ideas. Just save a snapshot, then hose the system, then revert back to the original to start over. This came in real handy a few weeks ago when I was experimenting with shrinking and moving reiser root partitions (turns out its not trivial to move the START of a reiser partition, if you, for example, wanted to remove a windows partition that came before it)
I look for smiling people on the Metro when I go to and from work - people never smile who are there alone, and rarely if they are with someone
I keep a look out for those smiling people too; they usually have the fatter wallets when I mug them.
I ask them after, "Why are you still smiling, schmuck?!", and they invariably say they're trying to use their amazing power of influence on me so that I might give them their money back; it doesn't work on me. Except this one time a guy gave me a very nice compliment about my mugging etiquette, so I kicked him in the nuts for trying to win me over with his blatant manipulation techniques. >:)

For anyone interested, here's some installation notes and better pictures of the bulk printthing for a EpsonR200.
You're OK with one less doctor in the world just because of some mostly harmless (and inevitable) copyright infringment?
FUCK YOU, Trailer Trash apple zealot.

Uh Oh. That won't make the corrupt Prison Guard Union happy. Not one bit. The last thing they want is fewer bodies in fewer prisons.

A relevant quote:
That's because racism is natural. It takes a "better person" to rise above their primitive Us vs Them evolutionary psychology.
I'm one of those so-called secular humanists... and I'll be damned if the aliens are going to take our planet Earth! No good bug-eyed greys!

So... how much Amazon stock do you own, Mr 'free-market' defender?
And then there's cellular self-repair, which isn't that far off.
