  1. Re:Horn-rimmed glasses on Eyeglasses Made of Human Hair · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Horn is actually a pretty ridiculously great material for frames anyway, super durable and flexible. So rather than cutting stuff off of buffaloes, do the keratin press artificially. Same net effect, with 100% less buffalo.

  2. Re:Opera is my favorite browser on Opera Founder Jon S. von Tetzchner Resigns · · Score: 1

    I've never had that text box problem, might just be you--I know I get UI ghosts sometimes if I migrate settings from one machine to another, if you've been porting settings for a long time there may be something incompatible with later versions that needs to be removed. As to the second, and you probably already know this as a longtime user, you have to click on Flash to "activate" it, such as needing to hit the play button twice on a YouTube clip, but then once Flash is in focus you can adjust volume, pause, etc. without needing a second click. Maybe this is your issue--being active in Flash and not in the rest of the page would do something vaguely similar to what you describe.

    I hope Opera doesn't start to suck, I've been using it for over 10 years and none of the other browsers have the options, configurability, or ease of migration to new installs/machines. Chrome is okay, I guess, but I desperately hate the UI. The main reason I stay with it, other than its general greatness, is how responsive the UI is to input, even if it's doing things at the same speed as other browsers it just has a tactile "fast" feeling.

    And with this sentiment, we've come full-circle back to "AOL Keyword: Sports".

    She's the one wearing the black sunglasses, holding the gun. I believe she tells some people to "hold on", then gets blown out an airlock where she's caught by The Doctor and Amy hanging out of the TARDIS.

    But other than that, they did a good job making her look like a bad guy in the various trailers.

    In Silence in the Library (also written by Moffat), River Song tells him to put it on the "Red" setting. This is just setting that shift up.
