  1. yawn on Screenshot Accounts 'Delisted' on Flickr · · Score: 0, Troll

    who cares? Just use a different site!

  2. I was thinking the exact same thing on Mozilla Lightning Plans to Unify Mail & Calendar · · Score: 1

    They already did this once ...

  3. Clearly, Google is succeeding with their model on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    Google seems to have developed a successful advertising model that is a lot harder to block, is not annoying or obtrusive, and is relevent. I think instead it is the end of doubleclick - and I'm thankful for that!

  5. gee, nice ads on that link to Peter Briggs ... on Bit Rot Stalks Your Digital Keepsakes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The link ( http://www.boingboing.net/2004/11/06/alien_v_preda tor_scr.html ) to the info on Peter Briggs has porn ads, for those to whom it matters. Couldn't you have warned us?

  6. Re:Consistent Voting on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1

    Because of the open market and competition, we can't end up having just one system. It is a sympton of the very freedom we are voting for!

  7. Re:I like Mozilla better on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    As I said, it is NOT there by default, where as in Mozilla it is. Therefore, it is more complicated. Regarding your condescencion, I understand how to do the extra steps just fine and don't need to be talked down to. My simple point was that it was different.

  8. Re:I like Mozilla better on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    Both of those sound much more complicated than how mozilla does it. Why can't it be just as simple?

  9. I like Mozilla better on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Things Firefox does differently or does not have that Mozilla does (from my experience): * Bookmarking groups of tabs and then opening them all with a single click - Mozilla yes, Firefox no. * Opening new blank tabs with a button - Mozilla yes, Firefox no. To me these are features I use very often and that I can't use in Firefox. I hope they continue Mozilla. Thanks for listening.

    Here is what I get ... MSN Search is temporarily unable to process your request. Please try again in a few minutes. EID: f:2114719238 - 1041:1041:10004:1059 HC: 71d61b16 They probably need to reboot!

  12. MS Admins are experts on Linux security? on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Many of the Microsoft Administrators I work with argued the more user friendly Linux becomes, the more vulnerable it becomes. " Ummm... what makes a Microsoft Admininstrator the authority on vulernability and usability?
