  1. Re:Does it work properly/completely with Opera yet on Gmail Adds Features · · Score: 0

    wow...I never knew you could do stuff like that for firefox. Looks amaxing and is really functional and above all fast. How hard is it to program something like that?

  2. Re:Quickie Slashdot Poll... on Ballmer Says iPod Users are Thieves · · Score: 0

    That means they are throttling the port kazaa uses. Try a program like http-tunnel so that you can send the traffic through port 80, which is probably not throttled. Also, i don't know how anyone can find anything on Kazaa anymore (unless you're looking for top 40 stuff) My gf still uses it and rarely has success in downloading songs; most of the ones that do download are corrupted. Kazaa is just a huge pot of scammers and viruses now. Use Soulseek.

    I bought some RAM on ebay a while ago. The seller shipped it by UPS in a BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE. When i picked it up at the local warehouse (after they had to look for it and found it wedged somewhere) i took it home to find that the RAM's were bent right out of shape! i sent a picture of them to the seller and luckily he agreed to ship another pair of memeroy chips by regular mail.

    You can do exactly the same thing in Firefox. Try it!
    I use Ctrl-enter (or actually ctrl-click) to open pages in new tabs all the time. In fact i mapped a thumb button on my mx700 to ctrl so its even easier to open a new tab.

    As for the other thing, entering slashdot.org and pressing ctrl-enter will take you to www.slashdot.org.com.

    Well we're different. I like seeing trailers. There was one teaser trailer for ep2 that I saw in theaters (when i saw harry potter....i know i know shut up) that was only a minute long but left me wanting more...all it showed were small clips from the movie timed with the sound of vader breathing. My favorite trailer!
