Hey. New board.
Mac OS X people, if you've been using Firefox for your web browsing but find it to be slow, or if you've been using Safari but wish it would work with more pages or had a slightly larger feature set, you might want to take a look at Camino. Like Safari, it's a native OS X browser, but it includes some of the features of Firefox. Specifically, it uses the Mozilla engine, so sites that won't work in Safari will work fine in it. The only thing it's missing that I really like in Firefox is the ability to run extensions like DeepestSender, but I hardly ever used that anyway.
The benefits of being an OS X native application: Mainly, it's much faster. Not the web loading, necessarily, but things like loading the window and opening new tabs and whatnot are much less delayed. Of course, it also uses somewhat fewer system resources, at least processor power, though I haven't done a memory use comparison. Aspects of OS X like drag and drop work more like you expect. Finally (and this is the killer for me), you can use the things in the Services menu with web text, which is cool if you have a bunch of services installed like I do.
Check it out if you're the type of person that enjoys playing with new software. For the moment, at least, it's become my default web browser.

Jon, okay I'm out of town for awhile, so I can't check your link until the end of the week.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Terminology question:
I'm building an Access database. I have this table that is a big list of skills. I want the contents of that table to show up as yes/no cells on 2 other tables (whether a given group has that skill and whether a job required it). I can't figure out even what to call this, so I can figure out how to do it. Any ideas?

All is well that ends in pizza.
FYI for iPod owners:
A reader found the 850mAh 3rd-generation iPod replacement battery for $17.99 plus $5.99 shipping at BSRTech.com. That's the lowest total price we know to be available for an 850mAh replacement battery. Update: A reader spotted the same battery for $4.95 plus $5.99 shipping at SuntekExpress.com. Update: SuntekExpress.com has since raised its price to $14.95. >[link]

Yeah, but then wouldn't you have to install the battery on your own, Daniel? I'd be scared.
Debet, I'm sure there IS a way, but it's been awhile since I had to do something like that...I could roughly achieve the same thing in Excel (probably using my latest favorite function, "countif").
