Kerry's conceded, but Bush hasn't claimed victory, so it's still temporarily up in the air, just in case Kerry changes his mind.

But hey, it's a step in the right direction.

I've never even had that many objects identified total, on the four machines I've used Firefox on (since Phoenix 0.5).

I've also never had any issues with popup protection, as every last popup ever is stopped. If I want it, then I unblock the site. I do have to refresh/resend, though.

You might want to re-read your copy of the bill of rights. It says I do. I must have missed the part in there, the long-lost 3.5th amendment: "If you choose not to participate in elections, you may still complain about the outcome and may deny that you have any responsibility to those elected....

The official break-in note for my Passat: Don't go over 3/4 max indicated speed. Not sure if they mean vehicle speed or engine speed, but that means it's either stay up 120mph or 4875rpm, both reasonable to assume. ;) Take it easy, try to vary the revs, but there's not really much necessary, since e...

And I expect that by the time we actually have a realistic chance for reinstating the Draft, I'll be too old, as well.

Though I'm hoping I'm dead by the time that (WWIII) happens.

Definitely go by some stores and see what they have that you can look at, hold, take a couple pictures with, and hopefully even get a printout of a shot or two to be able to try to compare some of the brands and models. if you have a local camera store, they might be of more help to you than going t...

I second the recommendation to look at Canon. Well-respected, with some nice products, even on the low end. Though "low end" doesn't really include those cheap $50-100 things that try to pass themselves off as camera. ;) $200 is about what you'd need to expect for a good, solid entry-level...

It's not that all hip-hop artists suck, it's just that almost all the popular ones do, in contrast to the 80s, which as was mentioned is pretty much the last solid decade of talented mainstream artists. We hit the early 90s, and everything started to go downhill. The talented artists became harder t...

Actually, there's no such things as OS 9 drivers specific to a controller, it all goes through InputSprockets (which you'll have already, and Mac-supporting controllers should install just in case). Unfortunately, this makes it hard to say whether a specific stick will work or not. I'm not too sure ...

There is no 'tools -> web features' in my browser. It's actually Tools > Options... > Web Features. I haven't been having any issues at all with the 1.0 RC, using it both at work and on two computers at home. No crashes, no strange behavior, it's been working as well as it ever had (sometimes bette...

"Blackadder Goes Forth", huh? Wasn't that the War one? (There's a Blackadder spot on BBC America, but they mix episodes from each of the series, so it's hard to keep them straight.) I'd seen most, though not all, of the shows they listed. "Fawlty Towers" is definitely one of the ...

Let's keep it on the topic of "Can Ace delete this?" and leave the topic of "Is Ace an idiot" for other forums. :P Ace, I haven't seen anything myself that actually installs Python with an entry in the Programs list, but it is possible that some application you've installed needs...

If you're looking at the cheapie prebuilt stuff, take a look at the eMachines, as well. They aren't as bad as they used to be. I have one (insta-ban from DBB, I know :P) that we got as a "need a decent cheap desktop and not allowed to build one". It's worked well, but I'll probably be allo...

I'm assuming it's for Python. Python is an interpreted language akin to Perl, and any program that uses it will need the libraries installed in order to work. So assuming it's a library you're seeing somewhere on your system, you may actually need it for one of your programs.

Depending on the vintage of your Mac, you might be able to take one or two items out of it. Though even then, it's probably things that you wanted to upgrade anyway. ;) (Latest Macs you'd be able to cannibalize the RAM and HDD and optical drive, older Macs from the SCSI/ADB era wouldn't be much use....

Firefox. Had to pick the "Mozilla" option, but I really haven't been too enthused with the AOL-Bloatware Edition (aka Mozilla suite). I still use IE on occasion when I need to (site doesn't work in Firefox and I really need to get to it), but all my defaults are Firefox. Haven't heard any ...

Somewhere I picked up the idea that there won't be charges for WOW. You get online access with purchase of the game. Is that right? Nope, won't be free. Since it's centralized servers that Blizzard will have to pay to maintain, players will have to pay a monthly fee. According to the WoW FAQ, they ...

Favorite thus far is Guinness, but then again, I haven't tried 400 different kinds, so who knows, there's probably others just as good or better out there, I just haven't tasted them yet. Warsteiner (dunkel) is also good. Oh, and Guinness in a bottle is a crime. Do yourself a favor and never drink t...

And, for those of you saying that people you play online games with aren't friends, I beg to differ; they're as much of a friend as your nextdoor neighbor.

Hotmail's planning to offer 2 GB of space. Not that it means much, since nobody will ever use that much. Yeah, but who in their right mind would pay for Hotmail? I think it's decent as a free webmail service, but to pay $20 every month for it? No thanks. ;) I'm just glad to be one of the lucky ones...

How the heck do we get a Gmail account? Ask a friend. There's about 40 billion people using it right now. It doesn't seem to be on a "preview" basis, just an "on invitation" basis. GMail users get invites that they can give to people so they can then sign up. There's always anno...

I believe the normal drive limit these days is around 4TB.

Might look some at the Shannara series, by Terry Brooks. Really good set of fantasy books. I think he's still writing some of the prequels, as well, but I haven't kept up, unfortunately.
