Well, that's easy to fix, P. Change "browser.tabs.closeButtons" to 3 from 1.

Thanks, Par. Perhaps the only dislike I have of Firefox v2.0 is that they moved the close button for each of the tabs, but that is something I've grown accustomed to rather than an actual problem.

uh-oh... i think i've started to pick 'favourites' and that's a big no-no

what to do, what to do...

If you're using Firefox 2.0 and you noticed a change to the search behaviour from the address bar, that's because there is one. Instead of doing the "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, the default behaviour is to send it to Google's Browse By Name service. Which, for my money, isn't as good as I'm Feeling Lucky.

How do you change it, you ask? Good question.

1. Go to "about:config" (type that into the address bar)


2. Search for "keyword.URL"


3. Change the value to "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="

Didn't you ask CinO the same question?

(Oh, and I have no idea.)

The PPV game tonight is being broadcast on TVU. Are we going anywhere to watch or should I just stay home?

Thanks Albert.

And WebCT sucks just as bad as IE.

Internet Explorer 7.0 Advisory
October 19, 2006 17:00
Microsoft released Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 today (October 19, 2006). At this time, IE 7.0 is NOT supported for use with the U of A version of WebCT Vista. We have been informed that updates will be available shortly that will allow WebCT Vista to support IE 7.0. At that time, we will also receive recommended IE 7.0 configuration settings. AICT E-Learning Services recommends that you refrain from using IE 7.0 to access WebCT Vista until the updates and configuration settings are released. Although it is anticipated that Microsoft may include IE 7.0 as a critical update via Microsoft's Windows Update service sometime this month, we understand that IE 7.0 will NOT be a mandatory update. We STRONGLY advise our users to refrain from installing IE 7.0 until further notice.

Beck, I found out what those damn Japanese Rube-Goldberg machines are all about.
They are a part of a educational show. That phrase they keep on repeating is a crude transliteration in Japanese of Pythagorean Switch, the name of the show.

Olbermann clears up the "Stay the Course" idea.
