Re:Interesting choice of name, Mojo

On: Napster Clone With Pay Per Download

...and in the UK,a Mojo is a small, chewy, fruit-flavoured sweet. Which certainly puts a whole new spin on Austin Powers.

Alternative servers

On: Napster Shut Down Until Trial

There are a lot of alternative clients out there for Napster, it won't be hard for someone to engineer an alternate server application.

Well, there's OpenNap...

Now, what we need is an OpenNap metaserver so we can find the OpenNap servers - anybody know if such a beast exists?

Re:Meet the new Palm, same as the old Palm

On: First Look At The New Palms

How about adding "hyperlinks" to the OS so that I can insert a link to an address book record into my diary, or to-do list, and vice versa. Now *that* would be cool.

DateBk4 does this. Would be more useful in the OS, admittedly (link diary to an Expense/QMate record, for example).

If your DVD player has RGB output, that should be the best way of doing it...

Cookies

On: Razorfish Sued For "Shoddy Web Site"

I liked the cookie "hasyoubrowsagotskillz"...

Shame I accepted all the cookies it sent and it still pointed all the links at a "sorry, you have cookies disabled" page. With links to help on enabling cookies for Internet Explorer, but not for any other browsers. Cretins.

Re:A simple fix

On: Web Site "Lock-In"

Or if you don't feel like aiming for the small arrow in IE, you can right click the back button to see the same list. You're right; very simple. Too bad no one bothered to actually _read_ the referenced article, let alone read this far down into the comments to find the simple fix.

Does anyone know how to do this in Opera? Even with the shiny new Opera 4, I can't see where this is hiding. And they've got just about everything else right...

Re:Intergalactic Police

On: Douglas Adams Answers (Finally)

Q. Have you ever been contacted by the intergalactic police concerning the whereabouts of Zaphod Beeblebrox?

A. No. They are fictional characters.

Interesting fact: there is actually a Z Beeblebrox in the London phone book.

No idea who came first, though.

Re:Moderators Take Notice

On: Open Source == Faster bug fixes

When I moderate, I set Flat View, Newest First, and a -1 threshold. Now if everyone does that when they moderate, things should even out, right?

Perhaps that should be the default view when you've got mod privs?
