  1. Re:Gimme a screen shot of Firefox please on IE7 Toolbar Mayhem · · Score: 1

    The author was trying to simulate a user that clicks 'ok' to everything. While he went to specific sites and downloaded the toolbars manually, you could get the same effect by going to a site that force downloads them.

  2. I like the reset tool... on IE7 Toolbar Mayhem · · Score: 1

    but how effective will it be once people start writing software that specifically targets IE 7? Is the Yahoo! bar there because it couldn't get rid of it or because they're in cahoots?

  3. Re:Where to us it? on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yep, you're missing something. Here is a list of currently supported routers: http://www.nintendowifi.com/customersupport/suppor tedRouters.do So far in my travels I've only encountered one wireless router that wouldn't connect. I love NintendoWiFi. It's so bad.

    How will we let the sysadmins that need this know of its existence? Surely those individuals aren't reading /.

    Are there any tips for improving my minesweeper times?

  6. Star Wars Galaxies on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    SWG has allowed same-sex and inter-species marriage from the beginning - This was especially useful when males playing female characters wanted to marry their real-life girlfriends in-game. :)

  7. Design a game that even an idiot can play.... on New Mobile Gaming Geared For Women · · Score: 1

    I think the goal should be to create games that are universally appealing.

    The Nintendo DS has quite a few titles out that I could see just about anyone playing. [Trauma Center, Mario Kart, Advance Wars...]
    A few of the DS titles while cute, [Animal Crossing, Sprung, Zoo Keeper] weren't specifically designed for female players, yet we hear the stories of boyfriends having their copies stolen by their girlfriends..

    I've played one game that was specifcally designed for girls to play - Nancy Drew message in a haunted mansion for GBA. Worst. Game. Ever.

  8. Re:I dunno on White House Cease & Desists to The Onion · · Score: 1

    You'd be suprised... I ride the bus to and from downtown Minneapolis, and next to a few of the heavily used stops there are free copies of 'the Onion'. Almost weekly I am obligated to inform someone that the paper is satire. Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index caused some serious panic at the stop near the new library.

  11. Re:It can't work on Anonymous Library Cards An Option? · · Score: 1

    The reason libraries charge processing fees isn't to deter people from treating a library like a bookstore - it's because processing books costs money. The plastic covering on books costs 1$ per sheet, label tape is 25$/roll, the record must be re-entered. . . . .

    They definitely would have done better having the narrations done by that one 7 foot tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childbirth... you know the one.

  15. I live in Minneapolis, too.. on Minneapolis To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    It's an interesting idea, but knowing the way things work in this city, they'll cheap out and people will be whining about it in less than 2 years. *cough* Metrodome *cough*

  17. Re:I don't know that he is an antidigitalist... on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't a librarian have a better mastery of search engines than anyone? It's not as if his fingers are all worn from paging through the card catalog..

    The director of the library I work in is better at googling than anyone (except for me, of course ;)).. and my boyfriend's mother, a children's librarian, isn't half bad.

    They have entire library science classes on the damned things now... I highly doubt this guy has trouble using google.

  18. Re:Librarians on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Librarians also serve as protectors of our constitutional rights.

    University libraries are very different than public libraries - - I find most public librarians consider freedom of speech one of their major duties.. it is a librarian's goal to make as much information as possible available to their patrons.

  19. Re:Librarians on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Library journal is a print magazine about libraries.. It contains articles that are of interest to library workers along with book reviews and suggested purchases. When I order books at the library I work in, I often refer to library journal to see what their opinion of the item was. It's a well respected publication in the "library world". The google ads would be due to the fact that 'blog' is mentioned in the article... unless they refer to their page as a blog, google isn't going to magically know that the page is sort of blog-like.

    "Note: With the latest version of Internet Explorer you can take advantage of richer customization options." is the message it shows when I use firefox. Slick m$. Slick. Although.. in all honesty, when I read that, I did think.. "hm...maybe I SHOULD dust off good ol' IE and see how it looks.."

  24. Re:Fees on Bringing the Library of Congress Newspapers Online · · Score: 1

    That's usually how it works.

    At the library I work in we have thousands of databases available to our patrons (newspapers, geneology, car repair, etc), but we (or the county, or the metro library system .. depending on how the database charges their fees) have to pay a membership fee in order to login to them. Typically the fees are absolutely outrageous... and most of our patrons don't know how to use the databases..or don't know they're there.

    Sadly, 9/10 patrons that want to do newspaper research turn their nose up at the databases and will ask us for microfilm or for the original. . . . . or complain when the newspaper's website doesn't let them look at papers from 1950..and THEN ask for microfilm.
