Just in case you didn't look any further than the links, there are plenty of other topics too. Computer and non. Not to mention you can add your own topics/dates/etc.
I hate to be picky and point out spelling errors (ok, no I don't), but shouldn't it be fairly easy to cut and paste the contributor's name into the "dept." text area? Especially if there's any chance you might mispell it?
I realize the dept. area is just a throw-away gag, but it still affects the quality of the site when such a simple mistake is made.
Yeah, but it takes several seconds before it works. The ctrl-enter in IE is nearly instantaneous.
And I'm not saying it has to be ctrl-enter (in response to the people saying ctrl-enter is taken). I just want some equivalent, and don't see why it's not possible.
Internet Explorer has had Ctrl-Enter add a "http://www." before whatever's in the address bar and a ".com" after it.
Now, I know that's not always what you want to do, but it is often enough that it's an extremely useful shortcut key (and one that (along with the google bar) is keeping me from changing over to Mozilla on a permanent basis).
Ok, I see that there is some sense in that. Tell me the sense in a full 1.0 increase in Netscape versioning from the last Netscape version. (Netscape 6.0 being based on Mozilla 0.9.8 or so)
Did I miss that link? I feel like Opus when he flipped on the news to hear "...and that is the single most poisonous to penguins item you can find in every household."
I have not gotten spam from them or known anyone who got spam from them. I do, however, know someone who works for people who are part owners of 321 Studios (in the same building they used to be located in).
And I quote from him, "I know for a fact they do."
So, 321 Studios is against the DMCA. Hooray, right? Except, they're most likely the exact same companies filling up our inboxes with unsolicited useless spam every day, costing us bandwidth and time.
So, do we like them or hate them?
I guess I'll wait for the next slashback to tell me.
MGM pulled the same shenanigans with The Spy Who Shagged Me. Threaten to sue (even though you'd almost certainly lose under parody protection), and force some trailers to be shown before the film.
Yawn, I hope they put all of that in the agreement this time, so we don't have to hear about it in future installments.

I'm surprised they'd admit that so openly. Maybe they're serious about this trust thing, afterall.

Review: Panic Room

The money is going to be divided up among the heirs of the previous owner. They need to steal it before that happens, obviously, and I don't think they know exactly when that will happen.
Especially considering his photos end up being displayed as about 100x200 pixels, a digital camera would have made this a *ton* easier. Not to mention, if he hadn't gotten sponsored by Kodak, the film (& development) of this would have cost about $3000.
There are too many scenic pictures in there for me to believe this was actually completely automatic and snapped a picture of whatever was in front of the camera as the odometer passed a mile marker.
Additionally, I wish you could enter in a mile number to skip around the photos. It's pretty annoying just trying to get to mile #1 in 1 mile photo increments.
They've been thinking about trying the no-AC idea for awhile now...What better way to test it out than to put it in as a big joke on 4/1?
No one can justifiably get mad, but they still get to test out if there are less posts, view the overall quality of posts, and generally assess the pros and cons of the idea.
I recommend they follow the lead of these firemen. Nothing like fear of negative reinforcement to improve performance.
People *definitely* said that about ABM...

LoTR Takes 4 Oscars

That was one of the main things talked about in discussing A Beautiful Mind. It was definitely a challenge (though I don't necessarily think it was successfully pulled off) to rewrite the story to concentrate less on the mathematical specifics of the main character's abilities and more on the general storyline he goes through.
It was only because of Ron Howard's previous record in directing that the film even got the greenlight (Imagine trying to sell: A romance/man-against-himself story with a mathematician as the hero!)
People are vegetarian (and vegan) for lots of reasons. Cloning clearly would not help solve any of the health problems associated with meat-eating.
It does seem to help solve a lot of the ethical problems, although there are definitely animals being killed to research the technology, as well as initial animals that are killed to begin the meat farms.
Most likely, the crossover between the animal rights crowd and the anti-food-modification crowd is large enough that there won't be much of a decrease in veganism/vegetarianism.

Ooh, I want to be the first to release the deleted parts as lowercase? Do I have to pay royalties to the Nixon estate?
Would they have to make clear what the sounds constituted, then, to prove they deserved royalties?

Excellent, that makes me happy to know that it's in there already. I'll definitely vote for it. Thanks for finding that for me.

Is there a reason Mozilla can't do it?

This should probably really be called Netscape 5.1.
And when the final release comes out (which sounds like it will be at least RC3, if not RC4), will they be releasing Netscape 8.0?

"Lucas declined to comment for this story." Everything they have is heresay from people "involved" with the movie.
And yes, it is important to be very accurate with these sorts of facts.

In this mainstream news site, they talk about what we talked about last week.
Is this really news?
MGM pulled the same shenanigans with The Spy Who Shagged Me. Threaten to sue (even though you'd almost certainly lose under parody protection), and force some trailers to be shown before the film.

Maybe now Kuro5hin can redo their Interactive Sucks-Rules-O-Meter.

Everyone except for Kodak.
Do they say when this trip happened?
