The problem is you have to type search.yahoo.com instead of just typing yahoo and pressing Ctrl+Enter.
On google, the default page is bare-bones, and you have to go to a different page to get the portal view. On Yahoo!, the default page is the portal, and you have to go to a different page to get the bare-bones search.
Right now on www.yahoo.com I see no way to get to search.yahoo.com
NoScript Options -> Plugins Tab -> Check "Apply these restrictions to trusted sites too"
This will let you whitelist sites for javascript, but prevent the flash or other plugins from loading by default. Then you are still able to click on the placeholder to play the desired flash object. No need to have Flashblock installed if you use this setup.
So... IMHO anyone who has contributed anything to Wikipedia may copy their own works (and nothing else) to Knol without any fear of triggering the viral license. They may also re-publish their own work anywhere else they want too.
You could take a WP article that you wrote, without any edits that you didn't make, then post/publish it under any other license you want.
I've been thinking about getting interested in the financial world lately. In my ignorant view of the economy, we are near/at a bottom point, and there are probably some good investments that can be made right now. What are some good websites/newspapers to start reading that are informative?
Running thru a red light 10 seconds after it has turned red is one thing. Running a red light because the city changing the time, shortening the yellow light, to catch more "red light runners" is bullshit.
Yes, people who blatantly run a red light are dangerous, but the solution isn't to setup red light cameras, and modify times to catch more people to generate income. In lots of places it is about the income, and not about the safety.
Are you using the NoScript buttons in the Toolbars? It makes it pretty quick (1 click) to a) toggle scripts on/off for top level domain. b) allow all scripts to run on this page, or c)revoke all temporary permissions.
With the big scary warning Firefox 3 gives you, you can save the self-signed cert, so on future visits to the site, you dont see the big scary warning.
Well if a judge orders your house searched, and you don't let the officers in, they can break in. If you don't give them the password to the encryption, they are welcome to try and break it.
Currently there should be no broadcast flag. The courts ruled the FCC doesn't have authority to regulate what happens once a device receives a broadcast.
The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the FCC had exceeded its authority in creating this rule. The court stated that the Commission could not prohibit the manufacture of computer or video hardware without copy protection technology because the FCC only has authority to regulate transmissions, not devices that receive communications. It is possible that a higher court may overturn this ruling, or the United States Congress may grant such authority to the FCC. Some of the major U.S. television networks have stated in the past that they will stop broadcasting high-definition content if the rule does not go into effect.[citation needed]
As of June 21, 2005, there are rumors Hollywood is attempting to sneak the Broadcast Flag back as a rider on the Senate Appropriation bill. [1]
On May 1, 2006, Sen. Ted Stevens inserted a version of the Broadcast Flag into the Communications, Consumer's Choice, and Broadband Deployment Act of 2006. The draft section can be seen here [2], and the full text of the bill here [3]. On June 22, 2006 Sen. John E. Sununu offered an amendment to strike the broadcast and radio flag[4], but this failed and the broadcast-flag amendment was approved by the Commerce committee, who at the same time voted down the network neutrality provisions [5]. Nonetheless, the overall bill was never passed, and thus died upon adjournment of the 109th Congress in December 2006.
On May 18, 2008, News.com reported that Microsoft had confirmed that current versions of Windows Media Center shipping with the Windows family of operating systems did adhere to the use of the broadcast flag, following reports of users being blocked from taping specific airings of NBC programs, mainly American Gladiators and Medium. A Microsoft spokeperson said that Windows Media Center adheres to the "rules set forth by the FCC", even though no legislation actually requires following such rules. [6]
I've done a bunch of research into a DIY EV and its really a wash in terms of $.
You save on gas, oil changes and other engine maintenance, however you still have other maintenance issues. Now you pay for electricity, and you also have to factor in the cost of battery replacement over each mile. Many budget conversions use flooded lead acid golf cart batteries which are cheaper up front (than lithium or NiMh) but its hard to predict cycle life of the batteries. They might last 2 years, maybe 5, it depends on how far you drive daily.
So what? You still need to figure out who was in that room at the time. Unless there are cameras setup, it could have been anyone in the dorm at the time, just hanging out in a friends room. My dorm room was almost always open to guests (as long as myself and my roommate weren't at class).
But its not 120, its 240 volts coming in. You have 2 hots and 1 neutral. So a 100 amp service can provide 24000 W and a 200 amp service provides 48000 W.
Why are Google's results correct and Cuil's wrong? If I search for Slashdot Wikipedia I would expect a slashdot article about wikipedia. If I search for Wikipedia Slashdot I would expect a wikipedia article about slashdot. Hell if you want to search for a wikipedia article, why dont you just go to wikipedia first?
Well actually it looks like they changed their search algorithm. Google returns some good results from both wikipedia and slashdot. Cuil only returns 369 results, the first being the wiki article about the/. effect, and the rest are unrelated to/. Check it out with http://www.cornetdesign.com/googlevscuil.html
If they return results that don't have anything to do with the first search term, they are pretty useless.
Put windows on the first hard drive, then install linux on the second hard drive. Setup grub so it chainloads the windows boot record (for one of the options), and finally make your bios boot off the second hard drive. Then Windows is happy and ignorant of its true surroundings. Thats how my dualboot desktop at home is setup.
Heres what I did. I selected 1 folder to be available offline. Went to File->Offline->Download/Sync Now, and checked Mail Messages, then hit ok. It downloaded the messages for the folder I chose, and I can now read them when I go offline.
However I see what you are looking for. There is no indication that Thunderbird will automatically sync this folder in the future for me, so it would be a pain to do this every time I wanted to make sure my offline folders were synced up.
Right click on your account name. Choose Properties. OR Go to the Tools Menu and choose Account Settings.
Go to the Offline and Disk Space section. Check "Make the messages in my inbox available when I am working offline" Press Select folders for offline use. Check whatever folders you want.
That seems like it would let you download all the messages, I'm not sure if thats what you are looking for.
What if you just came up with variations on your real name... For example you are John Doe Smith. You could sign up with the following names. J. Smith. J. D. Smith. J. Doe Smith. Jon Smith. Jon D. Smith. Jon Doe Smith. John Smith. John D. Smith. John Doe Smith.
Then move on to Johnny, and perhaps Johnathan.
Then you also make slight changes to your address, say you live downstairs (of a 2 family house, or yo mamma's basement) You could live in: Apt. 1 Appt. 1 Apartment 1 Lower LR Low L Downstairs DN Fl 1 Floor 1 1st Floor 1st F
Wonder how many "valid" name and address combinations one could make.

Is this flaw in the Amazon setup already fixed?
http://www.applian.com/replay-media-catcher/support/faq.php
Applian says replay media catcher can no longer record on-demand streams from amazon.com
But the person who said there is nothing there, is the same dumber than dumb /b/tard who posted with a nickname traceable to him...

Its like how much less data could you possibly recover? the answer is on this drive you can't possibly recover any less data.
No mouse needed.
Tab - Tab - Tab - Tab - Tab gets you to the Submit button, then Space or Enter to select it.
Keyboard only.

Because we are all about quantity not quality.
Why have 1 nice bottle of wine, or a couple of good pints, when instead you can have 24 piss waters that the majority of us call beer.

I guess we all read that spaceX launch article the other day, and are now qualified to design rockets and plan for doomsday scenarios.
