It still not quite the same (I've done that in Firefox already). I just happen to prefer the Mozilla layout and operation because that's what I'm used to.
And I was replying to someone who was asking why someone might prefer to use Mozilla to Firefox, so I think listing a personal preference is valid.
Sure, personal preference is a perfectly valid reason. I just somehow thought you said you couldn't do this with FF, when you can.
One thing I like is searching or entering URLs in a single large bar. By default, Firefox has separate search and URL bars on the same line, which mean you can see less of the search term/url you're entering.
Okay, so right click on the toolbar, hit customize, and drag the search bar up onto the line where the File/Edit stuff is.
Did you really not try this, before? What's really keeping you from using FF?:)
Funny thing though, when it was blue collar jobs that were being shipped elsewhere no one really gave two hoots (when was the last time you bought clothes that were 100 percent made in the US, with US-sourced materials?),
Actually, a lot of people did and do care, but being blue collar workers, the concerns usually get dismissed as the usual union troublemaking.:)
PBS' Frontline had an excellent show about how bog-box discount stores, Wal-Mart in particular, are affecting the economy, by buying everything overseas.
I've had WPA trigger on my installed-and-activated copy each time I moved the system partition to a different drive, especially if it was bigger. Yes, I know, I ought to totally reinstall, but when I have a drive start to give me read errors, I don't feel like risking death of data by hunting down what directories it may be in. And when I buy a bigger drive and want to use it as my Windows system drive, and install SuSE or something on the old drive, I should be able to do that, without telling Microsoft what I'm doing.
Did you see how low the sextant and marine chronometers were, for example? Some stupid product to get dust out of electronics rates higher than two devices that were essential to oceanic travel for hundreds of years?
When I lived in Prtland, I'd drive up to Seattle/Redmond quite frequently to visit, but I never really felt that I'd really want to live there. I liked being a few hours away. On the other hand, you're right, The Dalles is different. If I were working there, I'd try to live nearby, and I don't mean the east side of Portland, either:)
Sometimes, driving further east, late at night on the main road towards the Pendleton/Walla Walla area, I'd see what looked like little puffs of cotton floating across the roads. I started driving a lot slower (with nobody else in sight) once I realized they were field mice! And then I was slow enough to see foxes and other animals, too. Great night sky viewing, too, if you're into astronomy. People who think Eastern Oregon and Washington are barren empty places, outside of the few cities, just don't know what they're talking about.
They're going to find The Dalles to be very pretty. When I lived in Portland, doing engineering work for an ISP, I took several weekend trips to Eastern Oregon, driving through this area. I remember wishing they had some sort of substantial industry there that I knew something about, so I could move there and watch the salmon go up the river, hike around in the hills, etc.
You can still see wagon trails faintly on some of the hills nearby, out there, remnants of "the" Oregon Trail. Seems very appropriate that Google is physically returning to the frontier. I expect them to be much better stewards of the land than the industries of the last century, too.
*sigh* I wonder if it's too late to try to apply:)
having a small formfactor box is pointless if it's surrounded by external devices. If you pop it into a single enclosure with all the extra drives and whatnot encased in a single unit, it's a lot easier to manage and you don't have to worry about toppling. It probably also will increase the lives of the devices since they'll be moved less (moved all at the same time rather than in small increments).
What? I never heard these complaints when Sun was using the lunchbox form factor for its IPX and IPC cases, etc. The best part is that, if you want, you can stick just a drive like an external DVD burner on your desk, if you need access to it, and tuck the rest away. It also means less wear and tear inside the CPU portion of the case, if people upgrade drives all externally. Oh, and since the sections are each isolated, they probably don't need noisy fans to push heat out. Just little quiet ones. And with overall operating temperatures cooler to start with, parts tend to last longer, anyway. Sometimes I think Sun made the lunchboxes a little tricky to close just to keep people from opening them so much.:)
I was with you until this point. I've never seen an Apple-branded camera, and I've certainly never used my digital still or digital video cameras with iLife or any other Apple product. I might in the future, if Apple supports them (they're getting old), but they're certainly quite capable without Apple's software.
rightfully? personally, I appreciate a sense of humor in both the story submission and the comments. this is why I think the funny mod should give karma...
I appreciate the sentiment, but Hemos wields a lot of power:)
Depending on usage, it can mean opposite things. If you restrict game sales to minors, that's supposed to mean it limits their ability to buy, but as dictionary.com points out, restricting land to recreational use means it should only be used for that purpose.
I always thought that there were actually two phrases, restricting from as well as restricting to something, but apparently that's not common usage.
To say the end justifies the means is to assume that his business practices, many disagree with were done, with this end in mind. Have you seen any evidence of this?
Bill Gates is a capitalist. He's also a philanthropist. They're not mutually exclusive; in fact, some claim it's the "rich man's burden" to help society when they can. But they're also not inextricably entertwined, either. Why do people persist in judging one by the other?
As Dave says, the lines are propagated through tissue culturing, etc. Someone screwed up the current batches, or else they'd be using them right now...
The push for embrionic stem cell research is just plain immoral.
Those cells can be, and are, harvested from embryos that are otherwise discarded by fertility clinics. Do you really think scientists are going to order up a bunch of embryos and surgically remove eggs from human donors, in expensive and potentially dangerous procedures, while all these free embryos get trashed?
You're saying you'd rather those embryos just go to waste.
As long as we have fertility treatments that create surplus embryos, you can't take the moral high road on this. Those embryos are going to be destroyed, regardless. Might as well put them to some use. If you think embryos are lives, you're going after the wrong people. Go after the fertility clinics. In the meantime, let's lessen the waste and possibly save some lives.
It worries me that if (as seems likely), the NYT can publish an altered photograph without indicating that it's effectively a montage - what else might have been changed?
How is it a montage, if that's what was on the statue at the time the picture was taken? Just because you've also seen it without a leaf doesn't mean it was the NYT's doing.
I'm using a special hostfile I got online, that helps me avoid a lot of ad servers, etc. The anti-spyware beta really dislikes this, however, and every time I run it picks ONE server it tells me is maliciously redirected. I can't easily tell it to just ignore that one component of the search, and when I ask it to ignore an individual server entry, it gives me warnings like I'm going to be really sorry I didn't let MS do what it wants.
If it's not a real patent, wouldn't they get accused of fraud and fraud with the intent to extort, or whatever?
Or do you mean it's a real patent, but one that should be indefensible? That's a different matter. If this is the case, maybe they're doing the standard trick of going after people too small to challenge the patent in court, who will settle quickly.
Actually, I thought about him as soon as I saw this. The stuff Carmack's venture talks about publicly takes place mostly in Mesquite, which is in Northeast Texas (less than 5 miles from me), roughly 530 miles or so from Van Horn.
Someone could make a bundle building a spaceport here in Texas, perhaps. I nominate the area that is currently occupied by Texas Stadium in Dallas, since access and parking are already built up in the area, and the stadium itself will likely be torn down once the Dallas Cowboys finish moving to Arlington. (I humbly request a finder's fee of 1/2 of 1%:) )

Yikes. Surely new DIMMs are cheaper than lost productivity and overtime, over a year's budget?
Plus, who knows, maybe they can amortize them?

Don't forget, up in the PacNW, they have much better coffee alternatives. This is basically like saying it's a two-McDonald's town.

The implications of this assertion make me shudder.
If you did have a case to sue someone because you were too stupid to secure your computer properly, wouldn't it be the manufacturer or the retailer?
Especially now that they have a new unified page for security updates. Just don't call them "service packs" or nobody will ever use them :)
