    If you turn it on in MS Excel you can scroll the sheet with the arrow keys in stead of moving the cell pointer.

  2. Brain Workshop on Brain Training Games Don't Train Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Brain Workshop is a Dual N-Back game which may actually improve your brain.

  3. OpenAtrium on Using Drupal For Company Intranet; What To Expect? · · Score: 1

    There is a Drupal distribution built specifically for that purpose: http://openatrium.com/ There's a lengthy article about it in the December issue of Linux magazine: http://developmentseed.org/blog/2009/nov/09/open-atrium-featured-linux-magazine which should help you get started.

    It features groups, calenders, blogs, documentation and an issue/task tracker right out of the box.

  4. Re:Goodbye Lenovo on Lenovo On the Future of the Netbook · · Score: 1

    If you want a Linux compatible machine a good place to start is http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/. Buying the certified machines gives the vendors a sign that there is interest and might motivate other vendors to certify hardware or offer Linux directly.

  5. Easiest solution on How To Build an Openfire Chat Server On Debian 5 · · Score: 1

    The easiest solution for setting up your own jabber server is to sign up for Google Apps with your domain (http://www.google.com/a/) activate talk and then you can connect with any Jabber client to the google servers, eg. with Kopete: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57557

    You even have the option to limit communications within your own domain or to allow users to chat with other users outside of your domain.

    I only know of one christmas detector.

  7. Re:damn it on Now Even Photo CAPTCHAs Have Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    You can just hide it with display: none; in your css file. That way it doesn't interfere with TAB stops and such.

  8. Re:Too far on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    The foundation creates more funds by investing and they want to maximize their revenue. They do this by investing in (some) companies that exploit the third world and create a lot of environmental issues in the parts of the world where they are trying to clean up. Because of this they actually stopped investing in that kind of companies but that policy was dropped after not too long. They said they would use their voting power to change the behavior of those companies.

    That last statement however is pretty strange. Because if they vote against pollution and exploitation they will also reduce the revenue of that company and at the same the reduce their revenue from the investments. This makes it difficult to believe for me that they will come through on their promises.

  9. Re:Acid 3 on Mozilla Pitches Firefox 3.1 Alpha For July Release · · Score: 1

    As far as I can see Firefox 3 doesn't even pass the acid2 test perfectly. If you compare http://acid2.acidtests.org/#top and http://acid2.acidtests.org/reference.html you can see that the nose in the reference rendering is smaller. To pass the acid2 test it should match exactly.

    and what amounts to criminal negligence in the design of a basic hook and trigger system Do you have any good resources describing the right way?
  13. test.com on What Happens To Bounced @Donotreply.com E-Mails · · Score: 1

    At the last place I worked all the developers constantly used test.com and QA used that domain for testing as well. The server also sent out these emails. Me thinks there are a lot more people sending mail to test.com.

  14. Drupal + {casetracker | project} on Ticket Tracking and Customer Management? · · Score: 1

    I've looked into this several times before as well and finally settled for a drupal installation with the casetracker module. All depends on your needs and what you'll use it for. Is it for software project management or also for general tasks? Should it be flexible out of the box or are you able to add features yourself? I think that even bugzilla is a possibility as a ticketing system. It just has its own special features.

  15. Re:Windows services on Which Movie Download Site Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Do any of these services that support Linux actually exist? I would be very interested in that. Even my ISP provides this kind of service but requires IE and the windows media player.

  16. Re:A standard tab length would be easier on Elastic Tabstops — An End to Tabs vs. Spaces? · · Score: 1

    The problem with this coding style is:

    1. In your really_long_exp you wrap and continue at the beginning. When reading your code it look like the second line is a statement on it's own.
    2. In DoSomethingComlex you continue with 1 extra tab for wrapping. This is inconsistent with 1. Also a tab is used to indicate a new 'block' of code.

    For 1 & 2 some people prefer to use 2 tabs or some other rules. It is in these cases that using different definitions of TAB can render the code not so readable.

  17. Multicast! on U.S. Government to Adopt IPv6 in 2008 · · Score: 1

    I always understood that the IPv6 implementation of multicast is better and that migrating to v6 will finally make it possible to use it over the internet. This just has to enable a whole lot of new (multimedia) applications!

    Or will mutlicast still be a pain?

  22. Email Address on Eisenstadt's Analysis Of 8 Years' Worth Of Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does anyone know if he used the same email address throughout those 12 years? If he switched addresses the spammers might not have known about the new address, thus reducing the amount of spam he will receive the coming years.

  23. It's not fast on Downhillbattle.org Bounty For P2P Gaim Plug-in · · Score: 1

    The description is talking about downloading files directly for the person who is sharing the file. Thus the max speed you can download is that person's upload speed. Here (in Belgium) and as far as I know most of the other countries the ISP's limit upload speed at a factor of the download speed.

    A typical cable connection is 128Kbps up/10Mbps down , ADSL is 128Kbps up as well. This would result in tremendously slow downloads.
    The nice part of those public P2P networks is that you download pieces of a file from multiple persons thus bundling all those small upload pipes into one big one!

    So if they implement this they should add the functionality to download from multiple sources at once too.

  24. Re:Playmobile on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    I had playmobile as a kid and to this day I find it a pitty that my parents didn't give me Lego in stead. The possibilities of Lego are greater. My cousins had Lego and I was always thrilled when my family went to visit theirs.
