  1. Re:Misleading Title on DJB Announces 44 Security Holes In *nix Software · · Score: 1


    You'd do better to install SciTE, the Scintilla based Text Editor. Much better for editing standard text, and also very nice for editing code (not that your brother will ever care)...

    With the latest couple of versions of Firefox you don't even get that "3...2...1...Install" dialog until you add the website to your list of Allowed Sites -- you just get a bar at the top of window telling you that the download has been blocked.

    No, this also happens on old, closed posts with lots of comments.

    I've found that the next page seems to start with the first comment with the same subject as the last comment visible on the screen (i.e., the bottom-most visible reply to the post).

  9. Re:Drudge Report on Your Favorite Political Weblogs? · · Score: 1

    > Drudge Report

    The original, the unbeatable.

    Drudge put the Internet on the news map; all bloggers follow in his footsteps. And unrelentless in his watch over the old media, he's got the story the elites won't run. I like his lighter side, too -- he's always got the latest on celebrities from The Smoking Gun, etc.

    Well put, and the magic moment to 'now start operating efficiently' will never arrive. That time is always now.

    life is not an organic factory in which we should be concerned with increasing production efficiency above all else

    It's funny, but everybody benefits in the long run when things are run more efficiently. In the short-run, people go through tough times, but that's life.

    I'm not arguing with the fact that it should be done. I am arguing that it won't be done.

    Why should we pay someone to do a job that we can do cheaper and more efficiently some other way? Is the goal a measurement of water used or a post to fill?

    I have recently begun using a Linux PC in my office, and am using Mandrake 9.1, OpenOffice, and Evolution. There are a couple of things that Outlook has that Evolution does not (at least my version of it -- 1.4.6), but overall I have been very pleased. What is it that holds you back from using Evolution instead of Outlook?

    nobody reads the license

    Sure, right now everybody clicks "I agree" at the license agreement assuming that it's the standard commercial license, but this ignorance won't last much longer, especially as exposure to the FOSS movement becomes more widespread.

    Windows already HAS a built-in search.

    Have you noticed that on older versions of Windows (Win98, for example) the command on the Start Menu is called "Find..."

    Now the feature is called "Search..."

    Does anyone else find this hilarious? These days even Windows isn't so optimistic about actually finding anything...

    BlinkX is kinda cool for those of us trying to "Find" things on your computer now...

    "Asking for directions" means having to admit (often to another guy) that I don't know how to got where the hell I'm trying to get.

    Using this kind of software means I will never again have to do so. The gadget factor is also a plus.
