  • In the pre-OS X days, the hosts file used to sit in the System folder, where it was plainly visible. Nowadays you need to have root privileges to have access to it. I confess I didn't doctor my own hosts file, but I replaced it with one that a frien…

  • Just curious: Did no one acknowledge my last post because after they read it, they thought, "Damn, why didn't I think of that?" or did they say, "WTF is he talking about?" For the uninitiated, the easiest way to explain what I was talking about--…

  • Just edit your hosts file so that ad server addresses are 0.0.0.0. With Safari blocking popups that I don't request, and with my hosts file customized, I don't see nearly any web advertising.

  • Not a big country fan myself, but I have to say the Dixie Chicks are standouts as women in the country music genre who write many of their own songs and play their own instruments. Other big, popular female country music artists--I'm thinking of you…

    in Drudge Report Comment by mlnjr April 2003
  • IIRC, the pictures were not of aborted fetuses but of a surgical procedure performed on an unborn child, with the child's hand grasping a surgeon's finger. I believe that was the dealbreaker with Fox News that led to cancelling Drudge's TV show. …
    in Drudge Report Comment by mlnjr April 2003
  • I don't understand some of the criticism I hear about the Drudge Report, which is essentially a portal site linking to lots of other media sites. What's wrong with that? Occasionally Drudge himself will post an "exclusive" story, but most of the tim…

    in Is Fox News Conservative? Comment by mlnjr April 2003

    in Is Fox News Conservative? Comment by mlnjr April 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates Out of genuine curiosity, what, exactly, makes Fox "conservative"? For one, in the list of "Fallen Heroes" on the Fox News web site, there's no mention of anyone other than the US soldiers. Don't believe me?…

  • No big deal. That was years ago. Back to the topic indeed.

  • Not to derail the thread, but it's unfortunate when you lose a girlfriend to your best friend's girlfriend. I didn't walk in on her. I wouldn't have been invited to join in, and I wouldn't have wanted to anyway.

  • Yep. Nope, I'm apatheistic (I picked up that term from a recent article in The Atlantic.) I'm basically agnostic, but really organized religion doesn't matter much to me. If it works for you, great, if not, great. I'm apolitical. As a regist…
    in White, Christian, Male, Republican, Hetro? Comment by mlnjr April 2003
  • That's a great concept there. Just one nitpicky thing: The belt clip/kickstand thing is a clever idea, but the bottom of the stand is angled the wrong way. I'm sure you meant to angle it so that when the stand is flipped out, the angled part is par…

  • I just bought a Canon Power Shot A200 from Amazon.com after a friend let me know about Amazon's offer. It's a 2 MP camera with a 4x digital zoom, several flash modes and exposure (color correction such as sepia, etc.) modes. It comes with an 8 MB Co…

    in What you want to see in iChat 2.0 Comment by mlnjr October 2002
  • It's nice to see the "...", which shows you that the person you're chatting with is typing a response. The thing I hate is that whent hat person deletes what they started typing, the "..." disappears and quickly reappears again as soon as they type …
    in What you want to see in iChat 2.0 Comment by mlnjr October 2002
  • Thanks for responding, both of you, but I wasn't holding a contest to see who could duplicate the same issue. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem? I first noticed it a few days ago. I'm up to date on all Software Updates - 10.2.…
    in Weird problem with accents Comment by mlnjr March 2003
  • Thanks for your suggestions. (And sorry about the nondescript thread title.) The iBook is in my parents' kitchen, on a counter next to a cordless phone. I first thought it might be the cordless phone causing the interference, but unplugging it didn'…

  • Thanks, Brad. I'll consider doing what you suggest, but I may instead wait a couple weeks and install Jaguar to fix the problem that way.
