Just some quick information on a little Firefox trick I discovered online.

Taken from the "Tech Support Guy Forums"

We found a way to boost browser performance in Firefox (and Mozilla) to a level you literally won't believe? The update takes two minutes, requires no add-ins or purchases, and blows your hair back when you surf even the most dog- ( Read more... )

I know it's against the code of online conduct to make multiple posts in a single day, so I waited until 12:20 for this one.

Here's some video of Steve Jobs introducing the Macintosh for the first time, back in 1984. Chariots of Fire plays triumphantly in the background, with twinkly keyboards emphasizing the futuristic technology that is being ( Read more... )

b3ta.com is the funniest site I've seen this year. British humour has always been light-years ahead of America's in terms of juvenility mixed with dry wit; it makes you realize how mundane American culture has become over the years ( Read more... )

On Tuesday, November 9th, 2004 - the 66th anniversary of Kristallnacht - there were tanks on the streets of L.A. (link contains full movie clip - 6.8 Mb)

This was a peaceful protest like any other, and the state responded with the same audacious tactics commonly employed by dictators in third-world countries. Fucking tanks? Is this part of ( Read more... )
