  1. Robustify,js on Link Rot Rx: 'Amber' Add-on For WordPress and Drupal · · Score: 2

    Any website CMS that allows you to specify the JavaScripts you run could use a similar tool "Robustify.js" (https://github.com/renevoorburg/robustify.js), except for that it doesn't archive itself but relies on other web archiving services to have done that for you.

    With Robustify.js, if a user hits a links that returns a 404, the user will be redirected using the Memento-protocol to a webarchive that does have a copy.

  2. Re:I love kill-a-watt on Power Consumption of a Typical PC While Gaming · · Score: 1

    I have a kill-a-watt as well. I have been increasingly obsessed with the amount of energy my house uses and I am proud to say we are staying under 440 kWh per month. I think that is pretty huge: In the Netherlands, the average household uses about 260 kWh per month. What country do you live? On an average day I do about 7 kWh a day.

    I can hardly believe that the router mentioned was using 8 watts, 8 Watts is not much. Maybe even incorrect. My Linksys router does 14 Watts without Wifi, 15 Watts with. That is why I put it behind a timer. I love the idea of being always online, but when I am asleep, the router is now turned off. Saves about 7 euro a year :)

    Looks like a great tool. Unfortunality for the daemons, I want to replace my dead rat (7.2) with a Debian branded penguin. I would love to do that upgrade online. Any tips or tools?
    Thanks!

  10. Re:lost control of my mouse on Major Problems With Safari · · Score: 1

    Similiar problem here on an original ibook. The cursor responded to (trackpad) movements but couldn't drag files no more. Weird.

    I thought it was caused by OpenOffice1.0.1finalbeta but reading this it might have been Safari. I just installed Apple's X11 too.

    I had to reinstall the full system. What a drag! ;-) :-(

  12. Research in the Netherlands on Web Designers Ignoring Standards and Support IE Only · · Score: 3, Informative

    I did a small research in the Netherlands for uselab.com. We tested 22 municipal websites for accessibility using Mozilla 1.0 on Win2k and IE 5.1 on MacOSX.

    The result: over 30 % of the websites had serious accessibility problems on Mozilla and on IE on the Mac. Problems where mainly caused by improper use of dynamic HTML and erroneous handling of the useragent-string (ie. trying to deliver a non-existant Mozilla webpage).

  14. A note for youngsters.. on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 5, Funny

  15. Linux Kernal? on SuSE Submits Enhancements for AMD Hammer · · Score: 2, Funny

    To straighten things out:
    Commodore machines have a kernal (Keyboard Entry Read, Network, And Link), linux has a kernel.

    To make life more complicated: if you want to run a Unix like OS on a machine with a kernal (like the c64) it is not going to be linux but lunix (http://lng.sourceforge.net/).

  17. still 'back' button not working with frames on Mozilla 0.9.3 Released · · Score: 1

    At least on Linux the 'back' button still doesn't work properly on sites with framesets. That sucks! How can anyone consider a browser with a bug like that consider that to be a serious contender?

    Rendering is pretty good though but Konqueror in KDE 2.2 beta is not too bad either.

    For now Konqueror still is my favorite.
