I got it and it looks good, I like the tab placements and the speed is good. LGF displays perfectly.

Firefox was great, now not so much--I got 3.0 and within hours went back to 2.0.0.16, I didn't see the improvement and saw the disimprovements instead. I've been using FF for 6 years and Opera is faster. I downloaded Chrome. I won't switch but I might use it once in a while, the way I do with Opera.

From the Wikipedia entry on HyperCard:

Bill Atkinson later lamented that if he had only realized the power of network-oriented stacks, instead of focusing on local stacks on a single machine, HyperCard could have become the first Web browser.
HyperCard saw a loss in popularity with the growth of the World Wide Web, since the Web could handle and deliver data in much the same way as HyperCard without being limited to files on one's own hard disk. Interestingly, HyperCard had a significant impact on the web as it inspired the creation of both HTTP itself (through its influence on Tim Berners-Lee's colleague Robert Cailliau)[citation needed], and JavaScript (whose creator, Brendan Eich, was inspired by HyperTalk [3]). It was also a key inspiration for ViolaWWW, an early web browser.

Google distorts reality, Austrian study says

A research team led by Prof. Hermann Maurer, chairman of Graz University's Institute for Information Systems and Computer Media, argues that Google is turning into a new version of George Orwell's "Big Brother" - creating unacceptable monopolies in many areas of the worldwide web.

According to his research, around 61 billion Internet searches are conducted each month. In the US, on average 57 percent of searches are conducted with Google, and up to 95 percent of Internet users use Google at least sometimes.

It is dangerous enough that single entity such as Google is dominant as a search engine, Maurer and his co-writers say, but the fact that Google is operating many other services and is probably colluding with still further players was "unacceptable".

Also, Microsoft may be slow and corporate, but its not stupid. Anything that Google can do, Microsoft can do, and I understand it has its own new brower soon to come.

#40 What was different?

I have to think. First off, the dictionary add-on no longer worked. Things weren't where they had been. I was in a rush and wanted to get things done but had to stop and start looking around. That's a very bad sign for a potential future in my life. I'm sure it's more of a personal reaction than real but FF was crashing on my old system probably 6-10 times a day and I was fed up. Maybe it would be better on Vista.

I would have to think that their mandate on that would fall to the low side of what I think appropriate. I've got 1. I went to elementary school with a girl that was 1 of 18. (I have no idea how they got that large a family, if it was a merger of two or done the old fashioned way.) So I think that somewhere in between those numbers would be appropriate, if you want kids that is, no point in making it mandatory to have at least one.

That's fair. At first I didn't like it, and I'm still annoyed that a really great RealPlayer video download add-on doesn't work anymore, but I just use IE if I find a video that I absolutely need to download. (Like the Sarah Palin speech).

My favorite thing about FF3 is that the address bar acts like a search engine for all of your previously visited websites. It searches web addresses and the titles of the web pages. So if I'm reading something about, say, Brett Favre, I don't have to remember which ESPN.com page it was, I can search "brett favre ESPN" and it will, extremely quickly, list all of the websites that have that in the title and the web address. I find it never-endingly useful.

I can't get this Google Chrome to run. I downloaded and installed it, rebooted, but it displays some window for about a nano-second and then quits.

So, screw 'em.

However, compared to Firefox, painfully slow. And boy are there a lot of ads all over the place that I have been able to avoid by using AdBlock.

I might use it occasionally for a change of pace, but right now it is just a curiousity.

Let me alert other Firefox users who do research on the internet, especially academic research: there is a new extension called Zotero that saves and organizes the data and/or websites you wish to save and even allows you to make and organize notes. My cousin, who is an English teacher, loves it.

Google Chrome "Incognito mode"

For times when you want to browse in stealth mode, for example, to plan surprises like gifts or birthdays view porn sites without your other half knowing, Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito won't be logged in your browsing and download histories; all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window. You can browse normally and in incognito mode at the same time by using separate windows

Google still knows who you are, what you are doing and what you are thinking about doing though. Isn't that the Google Earth picture vehicle outside your window?

If I have to type, I use OpenDNS.com with some nice shortcuts which you set yourself to open pages. For example, I type lgf to open the main page here at LGF. Works like a Charm. I can also use it to keep my son from browsing to accidental porn sites; he is only 9 after all and doesn't know what that stuff is. It's hard enough already to explain things to him but something he were to accidentally see on the web would be too much to handle.

Rick Klein says on his ABC news blog:

Let’s say you don’t read The New York Times or The Washington Post (or The Note, for that matter). Let’s say you don’t follow the big political blogs and you’re not obsessed with every turn of the screw of this fascinating presidential race.

Let’s say, instead, like millions of working-class Americans, you get your “news” on the political race from the supermarket aisle. Let’s say you’re -- I don’t know, a “hockey mom” -- and you’re intrigued by this Sarah Palin person you’ve been hearing so much about since Friday.

So you’re shopping this week -- and what do you see on the cover of US Weekly? That esteemed journalistic institution is taking it right to John McCain’s running mate -- with a hard-hitting piece that details the “scandal” involving her daughter’s pregnancy.

“BABIES, LIES & SCANDAL,” screams the headline on the cover, with a picture of a smiling Palin holding her fifth child, 4-month-old Trig.

re: #156 MandyManners

They're actually asking for people to vote on this question:

Should Sarah Palin step down as the Republican vice presidential candidate?

and the "Yes" vote is winning. Good Lord.

re: #154 MandyManners

Oh, fuck. I hope so.

I do not get it...... is it because she gave an interview to the DailyKos of the tabloid magazines or is there something on the cover that I am supposed to be seeing..... I am confused.

Fox news is reporting that North Korea is rebuilding their Nuke program. Like that wasn't expected? Did it ever real end?

Should we take that magazine seriously? Sounds like they took a hold on the Palin Conspiracy Theory of 2008 and are trying to validate it. Are you surprised?

/New DNC talking point

I like this Google Chrome browser. No serious problems spotted with jQuery, either. It even implements the CSS3 border-radius property.

I did notice that the browser did have problem with the UTF-8 BOM left over from one of my "pre-minified" javascript files (jquery.levitip.js, I think.) Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE had no problem with this UTF-8 byte-order-marker (or "signature ", really.)

At any rate, this is enough to break jQuery in Google Chrome, but it's easy to fix. If you don't know it, this BOM looks like the Latin-1 characters LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS, RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK, and INVERTED QUESTION MARK, or simply this: 

Note to any who uses jsmin: remove BOMs from your javascript. I should've known better. jQuery works fine with Google Chrome without them.

Hating Sarah

Palin became governor of Alaska, but never left the working class -- with her old-fashioned beehive hairdo and librarian eyeglasses, with a husband who is a commercial fisherman and works on a North Shore oil field, and with her hobbies of fishing and hunting.

As such, she's the object of the cultural disdain of a left that loves the working class in theory, but is mystified or offended by its lifestyle and conservative values in reality. If there's ever been an exemplar of the rural America that, in Barack Obama's telling, "bitterly" clings to its guns and religion, it's Sarah Palin.

Regarding Bristol Palin, the thing that really irks me is that the people who somehow think her pregnancy is any of their business are the same ones who scream bloody murder when a conservative says that 14 year-old kids shouldn't be allowed to get an abortion without parental permission, as if parents have no right to know their minor children are undergoing a significant medical procedure (yet the school nurse can't even dispense an aspirin to the same kid without a parent's written permission on file).

BINGO!

One of my goals this year is to teach my students to detect bias in nonfiction. They're doing a great job with it. Example, original:

Palin became governor of Alaska, but never left the working class -- with her old-fashioned beehive hairdo and librarian eyeglasses, with a husband who is a commercial fisherman and works on a North Shore oil field, and with her hobbies of fishing and hunting.

Now with positive bias:

Palin became governor of Alaska, but never turned her back on her roots -- with her chic French twist and designer glasses, with a husband who has been successful both in the fishing and oil industries, and with her hobbies straight out of an LL Bean or Orvis catalogue.

re: #235 buzzsawmonkey

re: #234 OldLineTexan

It seems that Ms. Blair (or whatever her name is) after getting accommodations from the Israeli government from the Sea, was attempting to up the ante and "break the siege" through the land boarders.

See that is what happens when you give accomodations, and such to people. They don't see it as a warm kind gesture but instead a weakness then try to push it, till they break you. You'd think Israel would have learned this lesson by now.

Anyway, her friends learned the same lesson. They intend to do the Greece to Gaza treck to pick up more dreck from Gaza in the upcoming weeks. Unless, Israel takes action and maintains their control of the waterways, they are going to have these shmucks coming-and-going as they please. This is not good.

I really respected Barney Frank for calling out that jackass Eason Jordan (former CNN president) when the latter claimed that US troops were deliberately targeting journalists in Iraq. This happened at the moonbattish World Economic Forum in 2005 and Jordan apparently thought it was a safe venue for his real opinions. Frank blindsided him and really handed him his head.
That was a while back, though, and Frank has definitely made himself fair game again with these latest remarks.
