  1. I really wish on Review: Zoolander · · Score: 3, Redundant
    I really wish I had known this from Katz last night:

    I really love this movie

    Because then I would have known to not go. As it stands, I went and suffered.

  2. Re:Short-timers on Morals and Layoffs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not only that, but as soon as these people know they're being fired and they stop caring, the company will start to spiral downward even faster. This will cause the economic problems to show up more quickly and will force managment to travel BACK IN TIME to tell their employees that they're going to be in fired.

    Katz is a moron.

    So this does indeed eliminate the advertising execs.

    Eh, not really. But it might be semantics.


    The ads on Google's site are delivered as a text listing above the search results--making them appear more a part of the page's content. "It works so well since users seem to be under the impression that all ads are graphical in nature and written-word ad placements are still editorial," says ad buyer Jonathan Adams, senior partner at Ogilvy Interactive


    I have to disagree with this part of the paragraph from the linked article. I don't see how the advertising can be confusing to a user just because it's not "graphical". Unless, I suppose, you're a senior partner at Ogilvy Interactive.


    The ads stand out on the page, very clearly (IMHO). Even if the ads are not JPG's or GIF's they have the appearance of being "graphical" in nature.


    I'm not sure if that makes any sense.

  5. Re:no more 2MB version? on Handspring Releases New Visors · · Score: 2

    Ok, a correction to my post. The new "basic" version is the Delux that starts at $169.

  6. no more 2MB version? on Handspring Releases New Visors · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can't afford $200+ for a PDA, but $80 might be nice...why don't they even offer the basic 2MB model on the handspring site? That's sad. Give them a cheapone and they'll get hooked for more.

    Sorry, but $200 is just too big of a step for a PDA for me. Yes, not everyone on /. is made of money :)

  7. more pics on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 2
    I just wanted to add my pics into the mix. These were forwarded to me so I posted them on my site:

    Thumbnails and large images.

  8. Please Give Blood on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 2

    I know this is redundant. But please, if you can, give blood. Even if you're not in the NY area, give blood because it's the gift of life.

  13. looks like someone is pissed on How Public Should Public Records Be? · · Score: 2

    I try going to
    http://www.registeredtovoteornot.com
    and I get a javascript alert saying:

    "You Loose! Have fun at the EFF"

    And then it redirects to the EFF homepage.

    I guess someone's feelings are hurt.

  14. Re:Trade in your Model T and stop whining on Stopping The 56K Hate · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We have choices in the US? really? I'm in the middle of a very sizable city and I still can't get any broadband. So fuck off with your "move if you don't like it" attitude.

    Maybe when mommy and daddy stop paying all your bills you'll begin to understand what the real world is all about.

  15. AM vs FM on Radiation Storm Lets You Listen Long-Distance · · Score: 1

    As long as we're all posting our "best of's" I thought I would toss mine into the mix:

    I was pretty impressed.

  18. Re:What's new in version 6.1 on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 2

    Strange indeed.

    http://www.mozillazine.org/

    indicates it's off of the 0.9.2 branch and that's what the mozilla site said at one point.

    Looks like conflicting info.

  19. Re:How much deeper does this hole get? on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 2

    NS 6.1 is based on Mozilla build 0.9.2 which is pretty darn good. Prior to 0.9.3 coming out, 0.9.2 was my browser of choice for home.

    though you may think a x.0 to x.1 step is small, in terms of the mozilla code, it's a huge step.

    Netscape is just branded-Mozilla and it's looking pretty good. If it actually makes a dent in the browser "market" remains to be seen.

    you assumed wrong actually. :)

    It's based on 0.9.2.

    If you can find me DSL for $40/mo with the same start-up costs as dialup (i.e. zero) I'm your guy...point the way and I'll pay for DSL.

    There area lot of people that can't afford to drop $200+ on startup costs and pay the $60, 70, 80 a month. As was pointed out in the first reply to your post, they have one line and dial in on it.

    that's why god invented voice mail. so 20 bucks a month for dialup and 5 bucks a month for voice mail.

    that's still a heck of a lot cheaper than DSL.

    I wish I could afford it, but DSL is simply not in the budget.
