  1. Objects in the photo on Retracing the Chemistry of the First Photograph · · Score: 1

    Hrm. If I look closely at the top of the photo, I could swear I almost see clouds and sky...

    And what is that thing in the center foreground? Is that a road partially obscured by shadow, or a rooftop?

    And I can't see the pear tree at all...

  2. Re:AOL/Netscape on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1
    Konqueror over Mozilla? Maybe from a UI perspective, but they're still not quite up to speed with standards. Konqueror's CSS2 support right now is somewhere just below MSIE's.

    (disclaimers vs. kneejerk replies: a) Note very carefully that I said CSS2. Konq's CSS1 support is excellent. b) I haven't played with any KDE 3 betas. I hear it's improved a bit. The point still remains, though, that at current Konq's CSS2 support is substandard.)

  3. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1
    One good idea might be to double-check whatever you end up doing against the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; you can find them here. They've got a lot of good practices to follow there.

  4. "InstantTV" on Game Consoles on Your Monitor? · · Score: 1

    A while back I found an extremely nifty device called an "InstantTV" - it's plugged in in between your system and the monitor, and comes with a remote that you use to switch between your regular system display and TV display. It's completely platform-independent; doesn't have all the niftiness of TV video cards, but still quite effective. I use it for my VCR primarily since I hardly ever work with game consoles anymore, but it's worked with my SNES previously.

    Unfortunately, the company that made them (one "AIMS Lab") seems to have vanished; their website (aimslab.com) is now a list of advertising links, so I think they've gone kaput. I dunno if anyone else makes things like the InstantTV, but it'd be worth taking a look around for, I think.

  5. OT Rant: When did this become a support line? on Old NEC Printer on Win2k? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From what I understand "Ask Slashdot" is supposed to be a section in which questions that might be of interest to a Large part of the geek readership here are placed.

    Most of what I've been seeing here lately, though, is what amounts to tech support requests.

    Don't we have, like IRC channels and message boards for that sort of thing? Why put it on /.?

  6. Well... on Follow Up on USNA Shoestring Satellite · · Score: 1

    If it was blinking bright red, then I saw it. If not, then an airplane overflew my house at the moment expected and distracted me. ;)

  7. Re:Annoying flash banner that makes noise... on Web Ads with Sound? · · Score: 1

    No, iframe is in the W3C HTML 4.0 spec.
