  1. Re:Equivilent Groupware on Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    Novell (Ximian) Evolution is the closest thing to Outlook. Some would say too close, in fact.

  2. Re:This is bad? on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 1

    Here here !

    Most of the time I actually "downgrade" my Fuji S3800 to 2MP (from 3.2). There's no noticeable difference when printed at 4x6, and I almost never have a need to blow-up photos.

    Richard.

  3. Re:Hopefully this equals on New brewing Method Means Faster Beer, Less Waste · · Score: 1

    Twists-top bottles work just fine. I've been using them since I started brewing 13 years ago, and I've never had a problem.

    I've heard rumours of "for twist" and "not for twist" caps, but I've never actually seen any difference. I've also heard that twist-off bottles were somehow thinner or more fragile, but again I've never had any bottle explode on me (except the 6 pack I left in the trunk of a rental car for 2 days at 28 degs C - but that's another story :-)

    This is in Canada, mind you, but I don't see how that would be different anywhere else.

    Richard.

  4. Re:Please define it on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    One should also mention that there are 6 kinds of Chimay. The really good stuff comes in a 750ml bottle (with a cork) and is called Grande Réserve. Richard.

  5. Grand Prix Legends on Tough Love - Can A Game Be Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    It takes months to "master" driving these beasts... but it's so rewarding when you get there. It was a commercial failure (less than 100k copies sold), but it's still in wide use after over 5 years (and beautifully updated by the community too!).

  6. Re:Ringtones? on Why Mobile Phones Are Annoying · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Vibration is the best way to be sure your phone is ringing... and it has the advantage of not annoying anyone else.

  7. Re:No thanks... on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1

    I'd say you were really lucky. You should learn to control your slides properly...

  8. Inline skates on Toys for Transport? · · Score: 1

    How about inline skates ? They don't take up too much space... Of course, you need to have a paved path all the way to the train. Richard.

  9. Re:they leave this bit out. on PeltierBeer · · Score: 1

    You know, I would *never* have thought to drink "pub draught" Guinness straight from the can. Some people really do that ?

  10. Re:Warm Guinness?!? on PeltierBeer · · Score: 1

    Extra-chilled, my ass... Any beer served too cold just lose all its taste.

    I practically never chill my Guinness, despite what they say on the can. I never could understand why that was there...

    The "proper" temp, as you can see by having one in an Irish pub, is cellar temp, i.e. a bit below room temp.

  11. Re:This is probably not the best one on What is Your Best Tech Joke? · · Score: 1

    Er, no, it's not fatal.

  12. Re:Don't use the MPlayer GUI on JWZ Reviews Video on Linux · · Score: 1

    It certainly does on my machine, and I have the "stock" RH7.3 RPMS installed.

  13. Re:Remember? on Cars for Tinkerers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    > > Acutally, I don't think he ever said that > Quite right. That "if MS made cars" list was a joke written by the staff of Car & Driver magazine in one of their annual "10 best" january editions (1994 or 1995 IIRC). Stupid me had that magazine, but threw it away at some point. Richard.

  14. E-mail address (in)validation on Top Ten Web-Design Mistakes of 2002 · · Score: 1

    Stupid sites refusing the "+" in my site-specific e-mail addresses (so I can know who puts me on spam lists).

  15. Bass stuff for Palm ? on Palm Introduces Affordable Zire · · Score: 1

    Hi, Are you saying you tuned your bass using your Palm ? I'm just starting on the bass myself, and I was wondering if you had anything to recommend Palm-wise ? I dunno, chord "cheat-sheets", something to store tabs and/or parts, etc... Richard.
