If you're looking for 5.25" floppies, you should probably look into a versatile USB controller like the Kryoflux; that way you're not tied to particular motherboards, and you get a lot more versatility over what kinds of floppies and drives you can read.

THANK you. That's going to make closing/reopening Firefox a lot nicer.

You're aware that Chrome automatically, silently updates, right?

TenFourFox may be unofficial, but I've been really impressed with its quality and the developer's dedication to fixing issues.

3.6.x has been known for generally being more stable and using less RAM than the modern Firefox 10...

I actually don't agree with your premise. While Firefox had some issues around version 4, Firefox 10 is actually faster and more stable than Firefox 3.6 was, and RAM usage is on a downward trend. I understand that Firefox ~4 turned you off because I was really irritated by the regressions that came around that time, but things *did* get better. If you give it another try and make sure you give it a fair shake without already having decided it's worse, I think you'll find it's actually an improvement over what you're using right now. It's not like Firefox 3.6 was a speed demon in its day either... Firefox's memory hog problems go back way further than that.

Traditionally, and still often the case, a lot of universities' cash comes from patrons. Prior to 1900 a lot of patrons expected control over the universities' curriculum as a result, so it wasn't uncommon for patrons to demand that a professor be fired if they were performing research the patrons considered counter to their interests; tenure was introduced as a policy to ensure that no patrons would expect to have that kind of control.

It's the new gay stereotype!

Glad you backed them up. Floppies have a pretty short lifespan! Worries me when I see people keeping around old floppies assuming they'll be able to get the data off them later when they eventually want to.

Have you seen Homebrew? for Mac OS X? It adopts a pretty similar concept, within the Unix hierarchy.

There were a couple of PSP-only sequels, and we only got one of them. I suppose that made sense for Japan, but it didn't do anything to help the series over here...

Just FYI, while I broadly agree with you (35mm and 70mm are high resolution sources), Ken's site is not particularly reliable. He freely admits to making crap up and writes more for fun than as an unbiased, factual source of information. I wouldn't link to him for facts.

I don't think you thought that part through well enough. Preventing discrimination and harassment against students because of their sexual orientation is a reasonable objective, especially given how much "gay" has become schoolyard slang. But you really haven't given enough thought to the consequences of forwarding e-mails containing those words to staff. Imagine that a student is trying to talk to another student, in private, about their own sexual orientation. By forwarding the e-mail that way, you've forcibly outed this student who thought they were having a private conversation. They probably wouldn't want staff to know about that, and it could conceivably even result in certain conservative staff members discriminating against students.

So on earlier stories about this, there were a number of posters claiming that there was no evidence that this went further up than the News of the World staff, and that any attacks on Murdoch and News Corp were politically-motivated "piling on", in the words of Fox and Friends. I hope that they can admit they were wrong now.

Didn't even bother to post anonymous coward to make it look like you weren't defending yourself in the third person, huh?

Did you check their sizing chart? They give you the measurements of the shirts in inches. It's not exactly an obtuse measurement.
