Opera still best..

Posted by Stephen Waits Sat, 11 Mar 2006 23:47:40 GMT

Opera 9 now passes the ACID2 test! I’m anxious for this to get released.

If you aren’t using Opera yet, you’re shortchanging yourself. Nothing’s faster. And it’s as compliant as its competition, usually more.

Download it today.

Fucking Windows

Posted by Stephen Waits Fri, 10 Mar 2006 20:43:08 GMT

You know how explorer.exe sometimes won’t let go of a file that you want to delete? So you have to fucking reboot and then delete it? Which then, of course, interrupts everything you’re working on.

Fucking Windows!

Well check out the Unlocker. I just installed and used on my system and it worked like a charm!

Consensus Web Filters

Posted by Stephen Waits Fri, 10 Mar 2006 16:05:59 GMT

Cool Tools has a great post up about Consensus Web Filters.

I’m a big fan of Reddit, but was unaware of most of those listed in this post. I’m particularly interested in both Simpy and Newsvine.

RC Drifting Videos

Posted by Stephen Waits Fri, 10 Mar 2006 15:58:00 GMT

Drifting is stupid. I mean drifting competitions. The great thing about motorsports is that they aren’t judged sports. You know where you stand and you know who wins. Drifting is not like that. Drifting is figure skating for asian kids with too much money. That’s just what I think.

That said, I have to say this video is somewhat entertaining and definitely mesmerizing!

Refuse ID at the Airport!

Posted by Stephen Waits Fri, 10 Mar 2006 15:50:19 GMT

It’s legal! Read about it at The Identity Project.

You have to submit to secondary screening though. If enough people do this then we’ll slow down security lines. Then all the sheeple will get mad and complain, and maybe, just maybe, something will change for the better.

At a minimum, try it out and report back to that Identity Project page (linked above).
