  2. Re:OK... Gonna make myself majorly unpopular on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    I'm going to agree with you here... Though it may be unpopular with the /. crowd (who obviously knows best)... I work on a project that unfortunately leverages some IE non-standards to create an "intranet" product. I have been fighting for Moz support for a long time, but the effort involved is siginificant. With this option, users can surf the web safely, but use the IE option when entering the specific intranet site... very handy. I just tried this myself, and it work great. Yes the UI of the browser is ugly, but I think we (the OS community) could take a lesson from MS here, and "embrace and extend" their product...

  3. How about empower the Electoral College on How Would You Change U.S. Election Procedures? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My thought is to give back the power to the Electoral College. Enable the system as it was designed. We should all be voting for a local representative (aligned with the same district as your House Representative). Everyone within that district votes for their representative to the college. And then the entire Electoral College makes their vote for whomever they feel is the best candidate. The system is broken... I agree, but let's repair it to its original design...

  4. Re:Patents on Amazon Calls Children's Privacy Complaint Groundless · · Score: 1

    Why don't you patent it first??? You now have a dated record of your idea.

  5. Cringely Section on WiFi, Light Bulbs, And The FCC · · Score: 1

    I've seen this suggestion before... But I want to state again that I think Cringely deserves his own Section... I look forward to reading his article every week. It is always topical and insightful (even funny at times)... Also, everyone should read about the tragic death of his son here. If you have children you know how scary SIDs is. If you have the time, please help with his cause.

  6. Workaround.... on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apparently MS is only blocking OS's that have IE available (Win32 / MacOS)...there is hope: A story on mozilla.org shows how to change what your browser reports as its UserAgent (Customizing Mozilla). Change (or create) user.js in your Mozilla Profile directory, and place this in it:

    user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22smp i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010110 Netscape6/6.5");

    Mozilla on Win32 now gets in... But this just adds to the evidence against anything MS...
