  1. No new tab buttion? on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 4, Informative
    One peeve [about firefox]: Why isn't there still a one-click button for adding a new tab?

    Not exactly rocket science to add one (Right-click > Customize > Drag the new tab button > Done) but I wonder why it's not there by default.

  2. Re:For the American audience on The Technology Behind Formula One · · Score: 1

    Indycars (IRL/Cart) tend to top out at faster speeds - on an oval the Indycars would slaughter an F1, but F1 are optimised to keep as high an average on straights and corners as all races are on different courses including the streets of Monte Carlo. Every time an Indycar guy tests an F1 they comment on the higher G-forces and braking efficiency over their home sport.

  3. Re:drool... on Giant Sub-Woofer · · Score: 1
    First time I played Goldie's Timeless (from the CD of the same name) on a decent Hifi with Sub I was virtually blown of my chair :-) 4:07 into the track and Boom!

  4. Re:I don't have many fantasies. . . on Microsoft Money Leads To Street-Legal Porsche 959s · · Score: 1
    Seen in car footage of a 956 taking the Mulsanne kink at 220 and then standing on the anchors for Mulsanne? Agreed, corners are good and I own a low-powered Mazda MX5 which is tremedous fun in the bendy bits, but the Mulsanne at Le Mans in the pre-chicane days was awesome. For years a privateer team just turned up to see just how fast they could take it. I think they topped out at over 250mph but the engine diodn't last long.

  5. Re:implimented linux? on Addison UK Server Roadshow for Schools · · Score: 1
    They also mention that Linux is "ultra reliabile". If it was about Windows I'd call it a Freudian slip...

  6. Live queries on A Peek Into the Google · · Score: 2, Informative

    One of the other search engines (Altavista?) used to let you see 20 random queries while you were thinking what to type into the search field. A lot of that used to be "boobies" or "Kelly Brook naked" as I seem to recall.
