  1. Re:Looks like version 1.5 to me. on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3 Released · · Score: 1

    One thing I find a little dissapointing is that it does not save the links to the pages you were surfing but instead brings you to your default home pages. While I know this might be a little hard to do or deal with due to post information on some pages but it would be nice for firefox to attempt to bring you back to the place you were before.

    Never used it myself, but this seems like it would do what you want:

    SessionSaver - https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php ?id=436

    "SessionSaver restores your browser -exactly- as you left it, every startup, every time. Not even a crash will phase it. Windows, tabs, even things you were typing -- they're all saved. Use the menu to add + remove sessions; right, shift, or middle-clicking will delete."

  2. Re:Maybe Asia should stop handing out FREE school on MA Governor Wants More New Tech · · Score: 1

    At least they "educate hoardes of poor children," whereas we just seem to push them through schools (without them really learning anything.)

  3. Re:Technical details on Windows Advantage Validation Process On Firefox · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's actually a cool extension similiar to IE View called IE Tab that essentially does just that. Rather than opening up a new window for Internet Explorer, this plugin integrates IE into a tab within Firefox... it's pretty neat.

  4. iRiver or Creative on Dealing with Digital Music and Vendor Lock-In? · · Score: 1

    You want something that detects your player like an external drive when you plug it in.

    I have an iRiver H10 and my brother has a http://creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category= 213>Creative Zen Micro. They both work great and are completely drag drop with your explorer of choice. (Only support mp3 and wma)

  5. Re:Never before have I seen on Jack Thompson Off Of Alabama Case · · Score: 1

    Too slow!!!!

  6. Re:blogs are news? on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 1

    I did RTFLAITFA. FTFA: "Now it is preparing to extend its technology to nearly every other medium, most significantly television. It is looking toward a world of digital cable boxes and Internet-delivered television that will allow it to show commercials tailored for each viewer, as it does now for each Web page it displays."

    Granted the entire article isn't about Google DVR, but saying it has nothing about it is incorrect...

  7. Pushing the envelope on Logitech Desktop Combo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    "Logitech, who is always trying to push the input device envelope, will no longer be shown on FOX."

  8. Re:One way to fight this -- the CHIP on Raised Flooring Obsolete or Not? · · Score: 1

    So we'll just put off building a data center until cooling for machines is no longer needed.

  9. Re:blogs are news? on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 2, Informative

    7th word into the entry is a link to the nytimes article.

    i'm pretty sure they have a decent reputation for news...

  10. Re:Remove the chip? on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    Please see all the previous comments about microwaves.

  11. Re:Stressful experiences... on Tales Of Blood For the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    I wish I had a subscription so I could quote it myself, but I remember reading in this article, Houser said how people are tired of playing games that lead to failure because that's what real life is like: http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F3 0D11F93D5B0C758DDDA90994DD404482 Someone with a subscription pull that please.

  12. Documentation on Trying to Help a Troubled Network with Linux? · · Score: 1

    If you are going to try to write up docs....

    If they run Cisco equipment, a show cdp neighbor will help you a lot. Keeping up to date documentation on a network (especially a large one) is a difficult task, but it will make solving future problems much easier.

  13. Haven't they... on Microsoft To Enter Hosting Business · · Score: 1

    They've been hosting this for a while. http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness/online/web- hosting/hub.mspx

    For 50$ a month, their service also comes with a dynamic IP.

  14. Task Switch XP Pro on Pepping Up Windows · · Score: 1

    Task Switch XP Pro is also pretty pointless.. my brother uses the Alt-Tab Repacement PowerToy, and it works just fine:

  15. Re:WTF for? on Intel and Laptop RAID? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't know they still made $1900 bills.

  16. So was he arrested or charged? on Florida Man Charged For Stealing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Hardware: Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network

    or is it

    Your Rights Online: Florida Man Charged For Stealing Wi-Fi

    so now he's charged rather than arrested...with the same article as proof? Madness!
