  1. All that work to save some space... on Mac mini Built Into Wall · · Score: 1

    and then he goes and puts a monitor and keyboard that take up more space than the mac mini would have. Why not put the monitor on the wall too? And store a wireless keyboard on the side of the cabinet. Then you have a nice setup and complete use of your kitchen.

  2. Worst Interview Ever on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a Natalie Portman fan I was extremely disappointed with that interview. It didn't seem like it delved much into the graphic novel, and Natalie wasn't asked any interesting questions. Plus, there was no picture of her on the interview page. That was a major minus.

  3. Custom maps for your site on Maps on Path to Mass Innovation · · Score: 2, Informative

    I created a page that lets you customize a map for inclusion on your website. The site is at http://shiwej.com/sitemapper/. You enter in a few options, and get code that you can put right on your site. And it's easy to create the Google Maps API key that is required for the map to work on your site.

  4. Ourmedia or Current TV? on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Could Google be behind Ourmedia or Al Gore's Current TV? Angela Beesley, one of the five directors of the Wikimedia Foundation, is on the Ourmedia Board of Directors. Al Gore has been a senior adviser at Google and Current TV is receiving support from Google and Google's Video Search.

  5. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    I never said I was paying homage to OSX. And if someone can let me know how to fix it for Safari I will gladly do so. I tried for at least an hour and then gave up. Plus I had to use a browser screenshot service to check if it worked correctly, and it never did. I'm told that it works in the latest version(s) of Safari and Konqueror. The reason it doesn't render correctly is that Safari suffered from incompatibility issues with DOM2.

  6. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    That didn't come out like I wanted it. http://lojjic.net/ created the script, as you noted.

  7. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    It works in IE and Mozilla/Firefox, though there appear to be some issues in a recent Mozilla build. The effect is rendered from an ordered list.

  8. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    To reaffirm, I did not create the script. I only modified it a bit to get it to work a bit differently than it was originally intended.

  9. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    At least there's a version of Google X that Google can't shutdown per their Google Labs terms of use. And I can always create new images if they have a problem with me using their images.

  10. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    Are there any javascript errors? Where are the images pointing to when you view their properties?

  11. Re:my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 5, Informative

    The code I used is available from logjjic.net at http://lojjic.net/script-library/OSXBar-doc.html . It's available freely to use as long as it's for a non-commercial purpose. I'm not an expert at javascript or DHTML so I used that and then modified bits and pieces to display the bar the way I wanted it.

  12. my version on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Before there were mirrors I created my own version of Google X using a script I found. It works more like an actual OSX dock because the images gradually get bigger as you move through them all.

  13. So Slashdot Them on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    At least now we know the forums will stay down much longer. Why post about Steam being down unless you want it to stay down even longer?

  14. Two Petitions? on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you noticed on the real site mentioned in the article, the petition doesn't let you view the signatures. Yet there is another one that does let you view the signatures. Both petitions have different numbers of signatures, and both list on the bottom page that they were created by different admins of freedomofmusicchoice.org. It seems like they didn't like making the bad comments public so they created another petition and aren't letting comments be listed. Seems funny the lengths Real will go to.

  15. Minority Stake? on Ebay Buys Into Craiglist · · Score: 1

    According to cnet and lots of others:
    "eBay has acquired a 25 percent stake in Craigslist, an online listing of classified ads and forums."

    Sure 25 percent may be the minority, but there is nothing minor about it. When a company owns 25% of your company, you do half at least part of what they suggest you do.

  16. Nice! on The Unknown Newton · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Cool.

    P.S. Did I get first post?

  17. Sounds good to me on IBM Announces Chip Morphing Technology · · Score: 1, Interesting

    So what does this really mean for computers? And why design a chip? Can't it design itself. You give it all the resources it will need, tell it what to do, and it determines how to best configure itself. And then it could reconfigure itself to better adapt.

    P.S. First post. :)

  18. tabbed alerts on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    Put a little something in the browser tabs that lets my know that a site has changed since the last time I viewed it. And I would have the option of choosing to automatically close pages that haven't been updated. That way I would easily know which of the many new sites that I have tabbed have been updated since the last time I read them. Not just since loading the page, but whether or not i have read the page yet (has the tab been clicked or not).

  19. telepathy on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    The ideal browser knows what I want before or when I want it. Maybe an anlysis of my browsing habits at different times of the day, on different days, in different months. So if Firefox knows that I browse slashdot every 15 minutes to see if there is anything new posted, Firefox should refresh slashdot every 15 minutes and arrange my tabs in order of importance to me.

    Also, I should be able to modify the weight of each site so that I can modify how the browser responds to my habits and make sure it is to my liking. Also, encrypt my browsing habits so that they are secure and not just out in the open.

  20. Good idea on SpaceshipOne's Control Problem Fixed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Rutan's plan to have 3 flights within 2 weeks is a good idea. That way they have an even better chance of winning the prize. It's something I never thought of before.

  21. Skynet? on Q&A With MIT's Nicholas Negroponte · · Score: 1

    so if everything is connected, then what happens when the machines realize they no longer need us to bring them together because they are already one?

  22. Re:Never heard of?! on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 1

    I agree. I was looking at them a few months ago when I was in the market for a dedicated server and was a bit strapped for cash, but I ultimately decided not to go the dedicated route as it is a lot of work to maintain your own server when you aren't too knowledgeable with linux. I still keep an eye on them and if I do get a dedicated server I will most likely purchase one of theirs, unless I get some more money and can forsee making money on the server.

  23. AIDS??? on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 1

    When I first read the Microsoft case study I thought it said "With AIDS they can automate the build of a Windows-based server with Ensim and bring it online 150 percent faster than they can bring a similarly configured Linux system online." And I thought to myself "Daamn, they must be getting pretty good with engineering viruses nowadays." Why cure AIDS when you can make it into the first virus that actually helps make Microsoft more money.

  24. The sun will be angry on TV Set Doubles as a Mirror · · Score: 5, Funny

    Philips just stole the very function of the sun to turn televisions into mirrors, and even when the TV is on. I wonder if she can bring a lawsuit against Philips if they have patented the invention. Though, how would the sun show prior art? Anyone have some documentation of the first time they saw themselves in the glare coming off the television?

  25. Sometimes useful on RSS Web-Feeds, The Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    I know feedster has been doing a good job of compiling feeds from all over the web and allowing people to search quickly and easily for information. Of course, with any RSS search engine you get a lot of people's opinions, but sometimes there is actually valuable information hidden in there.
