Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
At my last job, we exclusively used IBM/Lenovo laptops, so it was learn to use the trackpoint or else have to roll a mouse around on my knee -- I got really good at it eventually.
Then I had to relearn using a trackpad for the iBook.
After all the solitaire-playing with my left hand, I started up with the graphics without any problem at all. I guess that even mild vice can have its rewards.
Maybe that explains Evil Jimi's left handed proclivities.
Well, yeah, that was the joke I was trying to make...
"In a developing story, registrar Network Solutions has been caught front-running domain names. Any domain names searched via NSI's whois are being immediately purchased by the registrar, thereby preventing a registrant from purchasing the domain at any other registrar.

Wankers.
Slashdot: [link] Actual article seems to be slashdotted....
Apple announced newer faster Mac Pros today. They start at $2799 but you can configure them up to several thousand dollars (including software and accessories).
The really expensive bits are the 32 GB of RAM ($9100), the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 video card ($2850), the four 15,000 RPM hard drives ($800 each), the two 30" Cinema Displays ($1700 each), a Fibre Channel Card ($1000), and an unlimited-client copy of Mac OS X Server ($999).
How do I create a screen capture in Firefox?
I dunno anything special about it "in Firefox." For any screenshot, I hit the Print Screen (PrtSc) key to record the screenshot to the clipboard, then launch Paint and do a Ctrl-V to paste the screenshot, then print or save-to-file as needed.
eta: I found this Firefox add-on that might be more what you are looking for.
Wankers.
Which you tell me exactly twenty-four hours after I renewed our corporate domain registrations with them for another nine years.
Have people seen this?
Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote
I'm not entirely sure how it works, but it's pretty amazing. I also don't know why you can't just put the Wii Remote on your head. Isn't it all relative?
that was crazy cool.
If you check out his website, he does even more cool things. Like manipulating the visuals with your fingers like in Minority Report and creating an interactive virtual whiteboard (which is FUCKING COOL).
