    The new version screws some things up. Don't update if you haven't. I ain't happy.

    Seattle Times investigates Infospace

    How InfoSpace took its investors for a ride A gripping account of the dot-boom and bust days at this company. The Legal Cousel was herself up to no good! Jain, the founder, is apparently doing quite well. The clincher was the SEC and the judge helping out Jain and the company, respectively.

    Dell 2405FPW

    I think they have stringent tests to find the dumbest of the dumb, then train them even further, and finally put them into customer disservice.

    Looking for Dual Bay External Enclosure

    IIRC, the Lacies are two drives in RAID-0. There are plenty of horror stories of data loss in this kind of set up, regardless of the manufacturer/assembler.

    Thanks for taking the time to the respond, Tannin. As an "IE-coddled computer moron" who's reasonably happy with Firefox, let me chip in with my 2 cents worth. The only issue I would consider a serious one is the load time. But like Fushigi, I seldom kill the browser, so it isn't a problem for...

    Chimps tear up a human

    L.A. Times. Registration required, but you can get an ID and PW from BugMeNot. Story on Yahoo. Yesterday's story on this also said that the man's testicles had also been torn off. Repeatedly, we are reminded not to mess with wild creatures (Sigfried & Roy), but we never learn.

    Firefox Window resizes

    Do you have TabBrowser Extensions installed? I believe I have it set to never open a new window unless I ask for it to. The default is to open a new tab. AHA! I tried ctrl-middle click, and it opened a new tab and didn't resize! The difficulty is, though, knowing beforehand which links will...

    Here's a link you can try. Now in the upper left area, immediately to the left of the image, click on "see it larger". This should spawn a new tab, and the entire window resizes to a smaller area.

    Perhaps an external FW and/or USB2 drive, then? I seem to be peculiarly keen on annoying you with ideas you've already thought of. Yup. Only Hitachi makes faster drives. I wish the other guys would too. Prices would come down then. Maxtor in a notebook? Gee, no thanks.

    Tannin, I used Moz briefly way back in the early days. Can you please tell me why you like it so much compared to FF? My system is meesed up too much already to try it and uninstall it. Despite imaging the system partition from time to time, too much water flows under the brdige in-between. :cursin:

    Tannin, you're absolutely right on every point about CC (the same thoughts went through my mind as I was reading the article). But look at it this way. NAV is aimed directly at and marketed to the consumer, who doesn't know jack from a virus from a worm from adware. Given that, and if you...

    I've had this problem from day 1, with every version. With some web pages, but happens more with images.
