  1. Stupid Floating Headers on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What is the obsession with obnoxious floating headers that always stay at the top of the screen? Whatever utility they provide is outweighed by the fact that it screws up the paging behavior when you hit the spacebar to scroll. It's annoying to have the bottom two lines of text scroll behind the floating bar--not everyone reads to the absolute very, very bottom before hitting space.

  2. Re:is there any decent non "evil"registrar out the on ICANN Moves Against GoDaddy Domain Lockdowns · · Score: 1

    I have alway had good luck with Domainmonger. Funny name, but reasonable prices, and a rather powerful DNS control panel (which is free with the domain purchase). But, you can easily point your domain to your own NS records if you so choose. Been with them for 7 years, never had a problem.

  3. Re:Alabama? on Alabama Schools to be First in US to Get XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    From your description, I am assuming you are referring to the city of Huntsville. Spending a while there as a defense contractor, I have to agree with everything you said. However, my experiences with the rest of the state made me feel that Huntsville is entirely different from the rest. As a defense contractor, fully half the people I interacted with on a daily basis (anywhere from on the arsenal to Walmart) weren't actually born in Alabama! The percentage of people with degrees was astounding, and you couldn't sit at an Arby's without overhearing some snippit of conversation literally involving rocket/missile science.
