  1. Re:This American Life on Free Audio Content for Long Drives? · · Score: 1

    Actually, they can be downloaded, as .rm files. If you open one of the .ram files on thislife.org, it references www.wbez.org/ta/XXX.ra, where XXX is the episode number. Change the XXX to the number of the episode you want to download, and hey presto! Real Audio downloadable file. They're reasonably large-sized files, one I looked at was ~49MB.

    Hope this helps! :-)

  2. Re:Anybody else experience on Firefox 1.05 Released · · Score: 0

    It's not like your going to get them to switch with 'Look! It's open source and standards compliant!'

    How about "Look, it doesn't freeze every twenty seconds, it does FTP properly, you can open more than one website in the same window, and did I mention how it doesn't freeze every twenty seconds??" :-)

    non small form factor boards w/o floppy connectors

    Jeez, think you have enough double negatives there? You could have just said "small form factor boards with floppy connectors".

  6. Re:Yes Virginia, there is such a phone! on Minimalist Cell Phones? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Vodafone Simply is the phone you seek.
    That phone has recently been introduced here, too. Except that out of all the ringtones it has, none of them are actually a simple *RING*!
    You think they could have got *that* right, I mean the reason people would choose this phone is because it's supposedly simple to use.

    Obligatory Simpsons quote:

    Myers: Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy, but so what? Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren't for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners, we wouldn't have the Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off Sgt. Bilko, they'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney.
    Myers: Your honor, you take away our right to steal ideas, where are they gonna come from? Her? [points at Marge]

  13. OT: Bad link on Alternatives To Office For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    That link needs to have the / removed from the end. Why does this keep happening? Is it something to do with ./ or is it some way that users are posting URLs into comments?? Working link.

    Obligatory Simpsons quote:

    Homer is invited to be a guest on Smartline. Kent Brockman interviews him.
    Kent: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?

    So does this mean the word crockery takes on a new meaning -- perhaps something along the lines of software/hardware used to crack a system?
