Another mouse made specifically for gaming. I can’t decide whether I want to buy one or not. On one hand, I play a lot of games. On the other hand, I’ve been doing fine with my current Logitech optical mouse.

Hey, these tips actually work in KDE, too! I’ve gotta see xfdesktop4 has this functionality, too. But it just got a whole lot easier to save text from a web page to a text file.

Long file name explanation for Linux, Mac and Windows. Interesting trivia: Windows 255 character filenames include the path name. So since most people keep their documents in C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents, Windows long filenames can actually

Know what the hell you’re talking about, Senator…
Posted by Biffster in Miscellany on July 8th, 2006
Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens decided to prove to the entire world just how little he knows about the internet while he tried to justify his vote against a net neutrality bill:
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck.It’s a series of tubes.
And if you don’t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
Senator, my I suggest that you know what the hell you are talking about before you talk about it on the Senate floor? Pretty much everything that Stevens said was gibberish. It seems to me that Senator Stevens was purchased lock, stock and barrel by someone in the telecom industry, but whoever bought his vote didn’t do a very good job giving him talking points to use. Instead, Stevens simply sounded like an ignorant fool.
Unfortunately, the fate of the internet is in the hands of a moron.
Zelda: Wind Waker music video (Google Video)
There are some things that are simply too good to not see. This Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker music video to Enya’s “Orinoco Flow” is one of them (via Google Video):
This is a music video I made about Zelda: the Wind Waker, set to Enya’s Orinoco Flow. The song fits fantastically with the visuals, so this was a blast to make! Enjoy!
Oh yes, I enjoyed it. It’s well done, and the person who created this is right; the visuals work perfectly with “Orinoco Flow.” If you’re a Zelda fan, this is Must See WebTV!
