If you really want to see where a link goes on Fark, but you don't want to let Javascript mess with your status bar, just click down on the link, check the status bar, then mouse off of the link, and unclick.
You'd have to be a moron not to question the "No Late Fees" policy. The first thing I did when I saw the ad in the store was ask the checkout guy, "So how does this no-late-fees thing work?"
What they have now is still a better deal than before - now, you can keep the movie for a month, return it, and only be charged a $1.25 restocking fee. Before, you'd be charged the price of a full rental for every extra day you kept it. It looks like a couple of idiots have ruined this deal for the rest of us.
There is a private/public option exactly for this reason. Any bookmarks designated as private are not included in other features, such as the Top 10, the search function (forthcoming), or the Recently Added (forthcoming).
I noticed that there are no custom icons... The second is that's there's no way for me to control the order in which my bookmarks are displayed.
Both of these are features that we plan on adding in upcoming releases, but feel free to e-mail any other feature ideas or bug reports to bugs@chipmark.com.
After you install the extension, you should have a "Chipmarks" menu in the top menubar next to your Bookmarks menu. After you log in, this menu is all you need to use to add/edit/delete bookmarks, although you can use the website as well.
(You do need to restart Firefox after installing the extension.)
I've recently been using http://del.icio.us combined with a live bookmark in my bookmarks toolbar.
You might want to try out Chipmark. It's a service created at the University of Minnesota similar to del.icio.us, but it's open source, and they provide a Firefox/Mozilla extension. It's pretty good, but then again, I might be biased, since I'm part of the development team.
I don't shop at Cub foods in Eagan, MN because they check IDs and signatures when you use a CC.
Interesting; I shop at Cub (at Cub does check my ID. I'm happy to support a company that actually takes some action in order to try and curb stolen card usage.
Hmm, I figured it was a statement against a worthless policy.
A worthless policy? Aren't stores supposed to, by law, check your signature when you use a CC? So you acted like a child because Cub was doing what they are supposed to? If you don't like it, why don't you stop at an ATM beforehand and get cash to pay for your groceries instead of wasting some stockboy's time when he has to restock your cart full of spoiling food.
I mean, even the "freecreditreports.com" is a scam that is not free.
As mandated by the United States government, every US citizen is entitled to three free credit reports (one from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies) each year: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp
Also, I wanted to mention that when I signed up for freeiPods.com, I got tons of spam to the throwaway address I used, but when I signed up at freeiPodShuffles.com, there was an option:
"I would like to receive promotional e-mails from Gratis's partners."
(or something like that). I unchecked it, and I have not received a single spam e-mail to the account I used for that offer.
This isn't as obvious as it sounds. The sites that the article talks about are not the Gratis (e.g., freeipods.com, freegamingsystems.com, freeMiniMacs.com) sites. They are the sites that have the "Hit the target to win an iPod" ads, and then ask you to complete a survey. From what I have seen, it is so obvious that those sites are a waste of time and money, I can't believe anyone tries them.
The Gratis sites are completely legitimate, and it is actually beneficial to complete the offers to get the iPod. I actually got the shipment of my free 1GB iPod Shuffle today (for my fiancee; she was thrilled), and by doing a $1/month trial of Great Fun (I think), I ended up with $20 in Circuit City gift certificates to boot. Hardly a waste of my time, since all I had to do was take 5 minutes to fill out the sign-up form, and then take 5 minutes to call in and cancel (literally, 5 minutes). So in the end, my free iPod Shuffle cost me negative $19 and 10 minutes. Not bad at all.
This is one of the reasons I like Firefox. You don't have to download all of the other packages. I wish OpenOffice were written in a way to allow you to only download/install individual components of the suite...
You know, those were the two things that were hardest for me in switching over, when I eventually did, but I rarely think of them now. I especially like Firefox's tie-in with Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" option though.
What exactly do you like more about Mozilla than Firefox? I used to use Mozilla only and didn't like Firefox, but now I can't stand Mozilla and use Firefox exclusively.
Didn't NASA realized that their shuttles were becoming obsolete? Shouldn't they already be building to next shuttle in order to avoid 15-year downtimes?

Did I step into a time warp? Is "The Animaniacs" even on TV anymore?
It seems that you have more of a problem with obeying the law than you do with RFID.
Flamingos are pink because the shrimp that comprise their main diet are pink, and thus, their pigment influences the flamingos' pigments.

Once you login, Chipmark should automatically log you in each time you start Firefox, until you log yourself out.
It will be on update.mozilla.org soon; probably after the next release.

Have you ever thought of using et al instead of etc?
