Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

le nubian, I just checked the thing in the control panel and it was set on Mute. I didn't do that! WTF. But I unchecked the Mute box and I have sound again. I'm grateful it was an easy fix, but I'm baffled as to why it happened at all.

Thanks!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

sumi, a couple days later, but I've had that happen on my dial-up. I assumed that it didn't ever get to where it needed to get to to show anything on the screen (or something like that, only in sense-making-ese), so I make sure that nothing else is loading the first time I load gmail at home.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have a quick question and googling this did not produce any results.

I would like to encode a firefox bookmark so that every time I click it, the link opens in a new window, not a new tab. Is there a way to do this or do I just need to use Tab Mix Plus extension?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

le n, on my Mac version, that's an option in preferences: tabs.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't want this to happen to all my links, just one particular link.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don't know a way to encode it to a particular bookmark, but shift-leftclick opens the target of a hyperlink in a new window, and it works on bookmarks too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The very awesome Handbrake DVD-ripper for the Mac is now available for Windows and Linux, too. Plus, shiny new features like AppleTV support that I'll probably never use.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

So, in continuing phone discussion, I'm thinking about getting the Nokia N80: [link]

Data plans royally suck here, but the thought of at least getting to get my email anywhere is very, very appealing. Thoughts?
