I went down that path for a while, great shaves but in the end decided that a saftey razor required too much concentration for those hours of the morning and double (sometimes triple) passes took to long with the care required. I ended up finding that an old gillette sensor excel gives me every bit as closer shave as a mach3 hyper mega ultra turbo at a lower cost, just as quick, and without so much razor burn.
my backup hard drive failed bout 2 years after I got it.... The only thing I didn't lose was my family pictures because I happened to burn them to DVD to play on my TV.
from what you've said it's obvious you didnt ever have a backup drive, even if you called it that. it sounds like you were storing stuff on an external drive, but not retaining copies on your internal drive, and that is not a backup. if you only have one copy of something, it's not a backup, it's the original. it doesnt matter if its on a hard drive not inside your case; if a single drive fails and you lose data then you had no backup.
crap, i HAD a bookmark to a guy who's written a patch that implemented this (but was having trouble getting firefox devs to merge it into the code base) but now i cant find it. he had some patched builds available for download but i stopped using them when firefox 2.0 beta came out because i was impatient. anyone have a link to this guy's site?
Your comment sounds funny considering this is RC3.
whats the issue there? you could have 10 RC's and it wouldnt be a bad thing so long as the api's are frozen. what exactly is the problem with fixing bugs before letting the software "go gold". RCs are not intended for use by joe average anyhow, and you sound like joe average.
On a different note, I was just serious anyway, doesn't it bug you guys/gals that your extensions are always breaking?
it has been a long time since Ive seen an extension break in a stable version of firefox. hell, i run the betas/rcs and still havent had any break; some had to be told they were compatible (and then worked fine) but zero have broken. if you're testing a beta that shouldnt be an issue for you (and if it is, i doubt you'd have the intelligence to file a useful bug report), if you're running latest stable you wont have any problem.
Just use Opera, it does a lot of things by default that require extensions in Firefox every few months someone tells me that, and i try it again for a day but i just cant deal with its lack of anything comparable to adblock [plus]. dont bother pointing me to the nasty css methods, i said comparable to adblock. automatic updating blocklists; right click any missed add and edit the new rule directly from browsing. safari has pithhelmet which is closer, but safari has other usability "features" which make it less usable than firefox
The one thing I'd like to see on ig (or have someone tell me another way to go about doing) would be combining multiple feeds into one content box. I read a number of comics, most of which have feeds, but i really dont need a content box per comic; I'd much rather a "comics" content box which has all the different comic feeds mashed together in order of date
think of a piece of software that's even just 10 years old that you still use today, and i mean something released in 1996 or earlier, not something first released then, and then updated in 97, 98, 99, etc. having trouble? if the copyright on a piece of software has expired it is 99% likely useless, GPL'd or not
Complaints about the powerbook batteries started popping up almost immediately when they were first released.
I have a jan 2005 12" powerbook which battery is covered by the recall. to be perfectly honest if i place my hand on various spots on the bottom of the notebook, where the harddrive is is scortching, where i assume the cpu/gpu is is hot to touch but the battery is comparitively cool. im not going to turn down a new battery but if the heat my particular battery is putting out is of concern id be far more worried about the rest of the damn pb. come on apple, recall all the pb's and send me a macbook:P
We're using it for a project at the moment. seems like every problem we run into isnt a problem in rail, but dont worry, there are plently of ugly, unoffical hacks, to get most things to work some of the time.
grumbles at the stupid people who made us use cakephp because they knew php and didnt want to learn something new
perhaps you have better ISPs where you are but where i live they all have download allowances. you leech 4gb on bittorrent over some saps unsecured AP and thats 4gb that they paid for that you've taken from them.
that said i run WPA-PSK so im not worried for myself
when i right click on a plain image i get the 'block content' menu item just fine, but when i right click an image enclosed in a link i no longer get the option. eg, right clicking on the ads on slashdot does not give me an option to block content. is anyone else having this problem or is it an OSX specific bug?
why didnt these superior candidates apply for the google summer of code in the first place then? 181 male applicants and zero female applicants. I have no problem with them getting the positions if they really are the superior candidates, but if that were the case wouldnt they have at the very least applied and (all things being equal) probably been accepted in the first place?
Besides, why do we have both M and AO? The ages associated with both are 17 and 18. Drop one and leave the system alone.
while I'll agree the M you have in America is stupidly close the the AO (most other countries have M set at around 15), dropping one would be a bad idea. More specifically, dropping AO is a bad Idea.
Here in australia the highest rating we have is M (15+) and all games need ratings. So you know what happens when something cant get an M? It gets banned. It's an extrodinarily dumb system that just encourages internet piracy from places that dont treat their gamers as children
although i have no concrete proof, i believe it sucks on osx because the ppc java virtual machine is poo. (i dont have an intel mac so i cant say if its any better on osx/intel). i have an old 1GHz windows pc with a mere 1/2 GB of ram that i do my torrenting on because its just much less sluggish, and thats using it over remote desktop. i really hope the switch to intel leads to a more optimised JVM for the new macs
surely it wouldn't be that easy with some form of national identification.
sure, why not? I cant really say im for the ID cards, but you've really got the blinkers on here. the card has your photo stored on it, why exactly would they make it more difficult to replace the ID card (it has your photo, among other details. its basically worthless to anyone but you) than replacing your credit card (john doe calls up and gets your credit card cancelled and a new one sent out. he fishes the new one out of your mailbox while you're at work and then goes shopping! wooohooo! score for john doe).
hehe... they claimed to do a scan of my computer, scanned my registry and found 68 spyware entries... funny, i didnt think os x had a registry, I guess I need their software:P
WTF? dont you have Occupational Health & Safety laws? tell your employer you need some furniture that isnt going to give you health problems resulting in you claiming workers compensation in the long run anyway
while i see you understand more than i first thought, im still not sure why this would be something ICANN would have any control over. DNS servers are still not going to give a damn about your private address space it's still going to have to rely on the administrators of every network using this http://.here/ convention to set one up. once again, reserved or not this is already possible, and i'm not so sure that ICANN reserving the TLD would cause people to adopt such a system.
It does sound like a nice concept but i dont think that ICANN would be the cause of such a standard taking off
If I were in charge of approving TLDs, I'd approve.here and reserve it for public special use like the 192.168.x.x, 172.1x.x.x and 10.x.x.x addresses. So at least you can address devices or stuff that's kind of within the area". Like jukebox.here or whats.here, whos.here.
Well, since those ranges (well, its only 172.16.x.x to 172.32.x.x but close enough) are all private you're more than able to set up a local dns server for your network so you can have such addresses, no ICANN reservation required. of course since they're private addresses they wont be directly accessible from the rest of the internet anyway so nobody cares what you name things on your own network.
Why does this tripe always end up +5 insightful? you're average joe, game companies bread and butter, isnt going to know how, or want to install winxp on his mac; especially if it requires more than just sticking in their bought cd and answering a few questions.
no sane game company decides their release platforms based on such preposterous ideas. most just release on whatever platform has DirectX

found it on del.icio.us, sadly it's still only a 1.5 build from april. here it is though

I would hope the developers spend their time on something more useful than fooling a stupid piracy detection tool
