  1. Re:Argh, snake on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    Check out the link in the parent post. Kept me amused for minutes... don't they say something about simple things?

  2. CSS on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 1

    From the article:
    "MSN describes Kahuna as an incubation project that has been built from the ground up utilizing the latest Web technologies, such as AJAX, a Web application architecture that combines HTML/Dynamic HTML (DHTML) with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), XML, and other technologies."

    I know how many hacks I needed to get the CSS for my (simple) web page working in IE. I feel sorry for the people trying to get something this complicated to look good...

  3. Re:Smaller object orbiting a larger... on New Tenth Planet Has a Moon · · Score: 1

    I was going to say a space-rock...

  4. Free (Legal) WiFi on Google Plans to Offer Free WiFi in San Francisco · · Score: 4, Funny

    I get free wifi too. My neighbor doesn't secure his connection... its a bit low on signal strength though. Hopefully Google provide me with a better solution soon!

  5. Re:Or you can use the 1.5 beta on Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have been using the nightly versions of 1.5beta for the last week and haven't run into any problems. The incremental updates are working well, most days these are quite small, about 200KB, athough it was 6MB the other day (but I suppose you expect that with developmental versions)

  6. Re:Automatic Updates on Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? I get mine on the second Tuesday of every month (except for this month where I didn't...)

  7. Classic windows on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    For those here that run Windows in the Classic theme, here a link to info on how to fix the menu looks http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_windows_classic

  8. Re:More Free Software Disappearing? on Intel Enters Anti-Virus Market · · Score: 1

    You can always switch to other free AV scanners. I switched to AntiVir http://www.free-av.com/ when McAfee slowed down my computer too much. It does the job for me...

  9. Office compatibility on Munich Delays Linux Conversion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although the compatability between Microsoft Office and OpenOffice has definitely improved, it would be interesting to know how much trouble is had in this region. The switch to OpenOffice because it is free arguement does not take into account the amount of time spent trying to make old documents work. If it could be shown by a large organization that all is good many more may make the switch

  10. Re:Not Too Much Left on Marvel Gets Cash to do 10 Films · · Score: 0

    I'd say a lot of people will actually see it - as long as it is not released at the same time as something big. Even if it flops at the cinema, people rent really crappy movies all the time - when your nt paying much a crappy movie doesn't seem that bad

  11. Re:I don't get it. on Google Lawsuit Exposes Microsoft Offshoring Deal · · Score: 0

    "The difference is that Linux has been adopted outside of Europe, and Microsoft is positioning itself outside of America." Comparing an operating system and a company seems a little strange. Try replacing Microsoft with Windows in the above statement just doesn't work though.

  12. Launch countries... on MSN Launches Pay-Per-Click Search Ads · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is it just me or do the countries chosen for the launch seem kind of strange. I mean France...
