  1. Re:iEyes? on Math to Crack Deep Impact Blurry Vision Problem · · Score: 1

    Arent glasses superior in just about every practical way here? 1 - No power source required 2 - Lightweight (relatively) 3 - Fairly inexpensive to replace 4 - Easy to clean 5 - Available the world over

  2. Re:Thank Goodness... on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    There was no involvement from Iran in 9/11. Most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

    Why dont the Bush grab the Saudis by the scruffs of their necks and shake them till their teeth rattle?

    Could it be the OIL?

    BTW, Iran's brand of Islam is the "shia" version. The Saudi (Al-Qaeda, 9/11, Osama, IED etc) version is the Wahhabi brand most promoted by Saudi Arabia.

    Even the religious schools [madarsahhs] running all over the region who brainwash and prepare suicide bombers are funded by the Wahabbis who also happen to hate Iran as they think of "shias" as infidels.

    Really, Iran is NOT friendly towards Al-Qaeda!

    How about the names of some good text books to get him started then? :-)

    Are there any decent online resources to jumpstart someone who is VERY rusty with mathematics?

  4. Re:Using gmail.. Don't like it on The Webmail Wars · · Score: 1

    Set up the filter to archive mail from the mailing list (skip the inbox) and label it. That should sort it.

    BTW if your email address is user@gmail.com then you can also recive mail to user+whowouldhavethunkit@gmail.com too. Of course you can write whatever you want after the +.

    Also, u.s.e.r+interesting@gmail.com would work too.

    Very useful for subscibing to different mailing lists and making filters.

  5. Re:wget on The Latest And Greatest Console Applications? · · Score: 1

    You can always hit ESC to stop the browser based download after the redirect and still copy the link over to your xterm.

    The link shows up at the top of your screen. The redirect download is just for the convenience of people who prefer to use their browsers to download (or just dont know better).

    For the record, I think wget is a great little utility.

  6. Re:Statistics: 90% made up; 100% misinterperated on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 1

    I think that they used this copy protection on this album just to be able to say "Look! People are cool with our copy protection!" They intentionally used an album they KNEW would sell very well.
