If I click on a story from users.pl (one that i commented on), it forgets it is supposed to display the story in light mode, but if I click on a comment I made on a story, it looks fine.
Perhaps this is because the link from the user page is of the form http://www.slashdot.org/articles/99/10/29/131325 9.shtml whereas the link from the main page is of the form http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/10/30/174323 2&mode=thread .
there used to be a good site called "firefly" that did this for movies and books.. but of course you had to buy the movies and books separately.
i wonder what happened to firefly.. did it die before the amazon associates came into existance? or did amazon's own "based on the books you bought.." thing displace it?
well.. we know there's a correlation (as slashdot readership is rising, pregnancy (birth?) rates are declining), but we deny that one of these things causes the other.

how does google decide what sites are "linux-related" sites? assuming that they don't have humans selecting the sites, does it take a long time to set up the separate/linux search, or would it make sense for them to let you enter other areas like this:
That page might load faster, but it doesn't have a document.f.q.focus(); like google's front page does. you have to hit tab 3 times or click on the field (yuck!)
as for a start page.. i use a page on my local computer with 8 single line forms on it (altavista/askjeeves/google, hotmail, angelfire login, webster, babelfish for spanish-english, and amazon search) plus a link to my home page and to slashdot. each thing has an ALT-key combination, so i can hit alt-s enter to get to slashdot very quickly.
3) Make each section small enough that by the time the forest is finished, the trees that had been planted first will be at about the same size as the originals were (though probably not the same age). Furthermore, the flora and fauna, which were not disturbed in any section of the forest that was not being cut at any given time, are given a chance to repopulate the area.
that will kill the forest. or at least the animals. small sections of many types of forests don't survive; they need a large area and an intermediate area between the forest and whatever borders it (grassland?)
I have a condition called prosopagnosia.. that basically means I can't recognize faces. As a result, it takes me a LOT longer to know 90% of the people in a group of 30 students, and by that time people are done introducing themselves to each other.
I can't wait until this technology is improved to the point where I can get a wearable computer with face recognition built in:)
i think the problem was more closely related to msn instant messenger than to msn passport (both were introduced to hotmail members recently). msn im tells you when you have mail, and lets you go to your inbox or specific messages by opening a temporary.html file on your computer that redirects you to a specific hotmial url. the first version actually put your password in that temporary.html file, but that was fixed. today, i wasn't able to use that feature of msn im. i got the same error as when i tried to access my account through the 'crack' page.
perhaps the problem was that they implimented the fix for the temporary.html file containing your password too hastily?

ok, that didn't work, but the first line is interesting.
Ebay sues other people for linking to them, so you post a link to it on slashdot? I hope their lawyers don't come after slashdot/taco.
