  1. Re:Open Source Competition on Firefox-Based Start-Up Gets Off The Ground · · Score: 0

    You don't need an extension to have "new window" links open in a new tab.

    Go to "about:config". Find "browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs" and double-click it to set it to true. Go to Tools > Options > Advanced, and you'll see that you have a new option.

  2. Precision Remotes on Automated Sentry Robots · · Score: 0

    Reminds me of these.

  3. Re:FP on Chimps Use Tool Kit · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Pink Heinied Baboon?

  4. Quote from "Invader ZIM" on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dib: "I can only hope that the Irkens just happen to use the same operating system that I do!"

  5. Re:WWJD? on SimChurch · · Score: 1

    In Firefox, when a pop-up is blocked, a small blue icon appears in the lower left corner.

  6. Re:Hmm, this is a tough one on Six Months Old, Eight New Organs · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. I don't think the least brainy in our society are going to have problems reproducing any time soon.

  7. Re:What next?... on Orbital Space Plane Problems · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think Led Zeppelin already had that idea.

  8. Re:Oh yeah? on GIF Patent Prepares to Expire · · Score: 1

    I heard that Adobe silently consents to people pirating Photoshop, because once they get to be a professional, they'll only want to use Photoshop and get their company to buy it.

    The first one's free, and then it's $500 a copy.

  9. Re:Sounds easy to me... on Universal Ebook Format Debated · · Score: 1

    How about XML? HTML is for hypertext. I wouldn't consider a book hypertext. XML could be used to mark up a book using <chapter>, etc.

  10. Re:OT: RE: Sig on Gates on Digital Restrictions Technologies · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Or perhaps Thomas Jefferson.

  11. Re:DVD's still a little life left in them on The Future of Digital Video? · · Score: 1

    I actually like Coke II.

  12. Burn the witch on MPAA, Microsoft Testify Piracy Funds Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Isn't it quite typical in such irrationally panic-filled times to declare ones enemies witches/communists/terrorists and then let the mob do the dirty work? It seems like the MPAA and MS should be the ones to burn for unscrupulously taking advantage of such mob mentality.

  13. Space.com article on SETI@Home 2nd Look at Possible Hits · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is also an article here.

  14. Re:Putting his money where his mouth is on Peter Molyneux Asks For Gov't Help For Small Shops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think "putting his money where his mouth is" would make more sense if he were advocating that the big guys should help the little guys. Advocating that the government should help the little guys is a bit different.

  15. Re:Why is this bad? on ATM Iris Recognition Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    If a thief could steal your iris data, how much harder would it be to skip that and just take your money?

  16. Re:Patent it! on Genetic Mutations Allowed Humans To Be Artistic · · Score: 1, Funny

    The pop bands don't have it.
