@Howard Blair: I refuse to use any ad-blocking software, ever since I had a sting of running a community website a number of years ago. The income from the few ads we ran truly kept us running; nobody was getting rich off them, and we even had to do a donation drive every year or so to pick up the slack.

@Howard Blair: Yeah, I confess to having tried to reverse-engineer any number of websites using Firebug. It comes in especially useful in preparing a webpage for print when you only want it to occupy a single page, but all the banner ads and graphics and stuff push things onto 2 or more pages.

@Howard Blair: It does indeed, but it still lacks much of the little things that make Firebug so handy. When live-editing color styles, for example, it doesn't auto-complete color names. The right-click interface is lacking. It also takes a lot longer to initialize than Firebug. Finally, when using the right-click ->…

@Howard Blair: Chrome has always had the developer tools (CTRL-SHIFT-I) built-in; are you referring to something more "Firebuggy" :p than that?

I'm so tempted to do up a graphic like this for the metric system, just to demonstrate how ridiculous the imperial system is. :p

@Howard Blair: As a web developer, I find that the tools (webdev extensions) available to me on Firefox are far better than any other browser's tools, so Firefox is my work browser. However, when casually surfing I can't stand the slowness of it compared to Chrome, so that's my personal browser. No profiles, logins,…

I wish there was a way to keep tags visible even after all their items have been marked as "read" - and no, the "Show all" setting doesn't cut it as long as it applies to folders and tags alike. Preferably, there would be a way to define tag visibility on an individual basis, too.

@jeremiah89: The List view merely alters one aspect that isn't even related to the problem. I don't have a problem with marking an item as "read" as I scroll past it - that's a great feature for the Expanded view, and I like it. What I don't like is how that act of scrolling past counts in the trends as something I…

When are they going to change how their "read" trends are recorded? Currently all you have to do to "read" an item is scroll past it (by default). I think it would be much more accurate to mark items as "read" when you click on the link to view the full item.

@Mickets: I believe Picasa does tagging, FYI.

This goes for my children's cries, too. Should I switch them out for more unique models?

Why do you have a Junkers water boiler in your room (pic 11)?

It's the Supreme Commander of photos.

@ImmaLion: Virus-proof on XP is actually extremely easy:

Explain this.

Hulu is infamous for being unavailable internationally. As an "international" myself, while I find this immensely frustrating, I also understand the reason behind it: the advertisers are the ones keeping Hulu "on the air", and they don't necessarily have international distribution or clientèle. It would be a waste of…
