Thanks Charles!

Said bug must have been Windows only, as I never saw anything out of the ordinary on Mac OS X.

Is it okay to come in now?

Okay.

And now for something completely different...

A couple of quotes from my homebrewed role playing game universe:

The Universe doesn't care how neat your theory is.

-- Professor Simon Weymouth, on book tour for The End of Utopia, 2101.

Martians (colonists) take pride in their work, of course Martians actually do work.

-- Elizabeth Anderson, Chief Administrator, Hellas City, Mars. Quoted in the Report on the Failure of the Utopia Planitia Colony, 2095.

Thank you, Charles.

Good to hear. I was getting frustrated with some of the longer threads.

The bugs in the newest Firefox have generally been a big disappointment for me. I've had to uninstall and reinstall Flash twice now.

Thanks Charles

Thanks Charles! My Firefox 2 gagging on overnight threads was nowhere near as bad as not being able to get in at all, and having to follow today's events on the Spy. And I have my spllechek back!

Thanks, Charles...the LGF gods are smiling.

Thanks, knew something was up with the code... Or rather, with the fox.

It works now! I can honestly say that's the first bug I've experienced with FF3. ^{_{Don't whack me!}}

Okay.

Alright what the heck is going on? When I am on the front page there is nothing in the left sidebar. When I clicked a post and come to comments the stuff on the left side magically appears.

Hey lizards, I haven't been on in a while. Relocated a business, moved and got a divorce. Anyway, FF3 has been a big pain in the butt for me as well as all the other forced upgrades they throw out. How many frikin times do I need to upgrade my Itunes for God's sake?

Does anybody have experience with Safari on the PC? Didn't know Apple was offering it until my iTunes updater offered it. Held off, I do have Opera although I usually run IE, laziness. Advice is welcome.

OK, we'll let Mandy whack you.

Interesting. I use 'overflow: hidden;' a lot in CSS with floats and they seem to be Ok in FF3, but my projects are a paltry offering compared to what Charles is doing here. Looks like most browsers are having growing pains with some of the more obscure CSS standards.

I love FireFox, but their version 3 wouldn't accomodate RealPlayer FLV downloads... so I've kept FireFox 3 on one partition, and FireFox 2 on my other partition, when I want to D/L videos...

Hooray! Personally, I hate Firefox 3. Somehow my computer downloaded it and installed it without my consent. I don't like the way it looks at all. The only good feature is that when you close it, it offers you the option of reopening it later with all the same tabs intact. That's pretty cool.

re: #28 Cartman

I know. AND frequent. its ridiculous.

ANSWER TO A SWEDISH SNOB

How gauche we Americans be.

At least in the eyes of the perma nent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel Prize for literature. That would be one Horace Engdahl, who last week sought to explain why no American has won that prize since 1993:

"Of course, there is powerful literature in all big cultures, but you can't get away from the fact that Europe still is the center of the literary world . . . not the United States," he proclaimed.

"The US is too isolated, too insular. They don't translate enough and don't really participate in the big dialogue of literature. That ignorance is restraining."

Do tell.

Well, it's also the case that good literature - like beauty - is often found in the eye of the beholder.

Just as it is true that the Nobel committee never recognized such great European authors as Marcel Proust, James Joyce or Vladimir Nabokov.

But when the subjectivity of literature gives way to the objectivity of the sciences - how does America fare then?

Quite well, as it happens.

Consider:

* An American has won or shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry in all but one of the last 10 years.

* An American has won or shared the Nobel Prize in physics in eight of the last 10 years.

* An American has won or shared the Nobel Prize in medicine in all but one of the last 10 years.

And even in a "softer," yet still highly analytic, discipline:

* An American has either won or shared the Nobel Prize in economics in eight of the last 10 years.

Clearly, Americans are better at discerning how the world is - as opposed to how Europeans imagine it to be.
There's a lesson there.

On my home computers I have Firefox 3 and their new browser for bloggers called Flock.
The only problem I have had with Flock so far is that some streaming media doesn't want to run. It always tells you that a plugin is missing, Media Player plugin for Firefox, however that is not the case. When I open the Firefox browser to use for online streaming media like radio there is no problem. There appears a conflict with associating the Windows Media Player with Flock while Firefox is installed, but I am unwilling to uninstall FF.
I love my Flock and for people who do blogging or spend a lot of time online it is the greatest. You can have RSS feeds without having to install a separate program. It is included. Also keep track of your other social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc, in the sidebar.
It functions mostly like FF just with a lot bells and whistles included.

cool i was hit with that bug

re: #35 JamesTKirk

The reason I brought that up is that the present heir to the previous guardians of the cities is a well known trekkie. He even had a walk on as an extra on ST:Voyager.

re: #28 Cartman

I may have spoken out of turn regarding iTunes. Sounds like the FF plugin might be the culprit, not the iTunes software itself.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports today that the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (Cleveland, Ohio) is investigating 75,000 voter registrations -- many found to have been fraudulent -- submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN):

Obama has been endorsed by ACORN and has worked for Acorn and supported their efforts Acorn indicted in several states now for voter fraud.

This isn't rocket science.

Why would non-Americans want someone who would put Americas interests first over other countries' interests?

Nothing will come of it. The CCBOE is a partisan mess. They'll perform their "investigation" and find absolutely no wrongdoing. I can almost guarantee that.

i have that picture on my dead blog

Given there past history, nobody should be allowing ACORN to do voter registrations at all - unless each one is independently verified by an unbiased panel before being entered into the system.

Looks like changing "overflow: auto" to "overflow: hidden" solves the problem.

I'm about to do with FireFox what I did with Vista.

I'll say it again for anybody who's listening - Ohio will most likely be the pivotal state in this election, and it appears that voter fraud is taking place here on an unprecedented scale. The left is pulling out all of the stops.

re: #49 JamesTKirk

ACORN should be prosecuted using RICO for what they've done. Not a single one of them should not be behind bars.

Thank you, never used Fire Fox, gather that is the default browser around here for some reason.

So I was thinking this morning how exciting it will be to have Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, and Harry Reid in charge of our health care.

I can't wait for holy Obama to take 63 cents of every dollar we earn to pay for his glorious Nanny State.

re: #49 JamesTKirk

Given there past history, nobody should be allowing ACORN to do voter registrations at all - unless each one is independently verified by an unbiased panel before being entered into the system.

This is a more practical side of the problem. Local government clerk's offices are being swamped by loads of bogus registrations, which drives up the cost in payroll due to hiring temps and overtime. Nothing wrong with registering real citizens, but ACORN is not about that.

So-- why is Richard Reid (the shoe bomber) in jail, while Ayres and Dohrn walk around free?

I agree - it's to late for the traitors to serve time now. But the central point remails. What's the difference bwteen Reid and Ayres/Dohrn? They both attempted to blow stuff up. Right now, Reid is staring at a wall in a supermax.
Ayres/Dorhn are teaching our children how to hate America.

re: #15 bellamags

Youse guys should use Opera. It is the browser "of the gods". No problems ever. And free.

I'm starting a new project, a personal project to disseminate information to counter the neo-Communist revolution that I believe is occurring. I have a degree in Soviet studies, the foundation includes a good helping of Marxist-Leninism studies (Dictatorship of the Proletariat, Vanguard of the Proletariat, the evolution from formless marxism, to radical bolshevism, etc.). I kind of know the origins of the 1917 Communist revolution.

So, I see the same things occurring now. I think the market collapse is not coincidental. Whether or not there is a conspiracy there or not, it still is a catalyst for communists to assert centralized governmental authority over the economy. We see movements to suppress free speech, youth organizations, indoctrination, cult of personality, media propaganda - all hallmarks of authoritarianism.

My project then is to counter it, online, IRL, publishing, mentality.

1. Alinsky has rules for Radicals, what is out there to counter those rules? Rules for Counter Radicals? Is there a definitive source? What is the counter radicalism manifesto?

2. How to teach children? Counter the indoctrination? The message needs to be simple and attractive, make it "cool" but not tin foil hat.

3. Financial protection - how do we protect our money when the communist come for it. In Stalin's time, dekulakization was the forced removal of "kulaks", the farmers who owned property. Kulaks retaliated against the state by killing their own livestock, burning crops, refusing to pay into the system. How do we avoid dekulakization, but keep our property?

4. Tactics and information warfare - what are their propaganda sources? What activities that are legal can we do to shut down these sources - overload, undermine, destroy. Repackage and promote ethical hacking processes as (Plan, Discover, Act, Report)

5. Counter propaganda - message needs to be simple and attractive. Active and preemptive. What our sources of communication, how do we protect those sources? How do we use those sources?

I'll be working more on this, it may just turn out how I educate and protect my own family.
