All kinds of geeky goodness today! Yay! Hurry before somebody in my office wants me, lol! ;-)

I no longer use those fluorescent bulbs. I had name brand bulbs that didn't last a year and would start to flicker. Once they started to flicker the white base would get super hot and turn brown. I could smell the burning and even burnt my hand on the white base while trying to take the bulb out of the socket.

The UFO wipe was the best because I always holler "space him" during sci-fi shows! With that wipe, I could space 'em all, lol! ;-)

Sweet features. Loved the squeegee, got to be using that thing a couple times a week, seriously, do it, thats just what this show needs.

am i the only one who is bothered by the background used on the set? It really hurts my eyes! The alternating light and dark vertical stripes cause optical ringing... love the show otherwise : )

Episode 142: full of cool camera transitions that should be used more often... Also, is it just me or do they need a ticker at the bottom of the screen with tech news and local Bay Area weather?!

Its just you.. =) Those transitions are not even close too the silly ones on the videonics, 500+ USELESS transitions.

They were showing a picture of an X800GTO when they were talking about a 1900XT .. lol

Its great how fast you're able to get the video out now I'm sure this is a product starting the show earlier.

Middle clicking on a link and opening a new tab?!
Tested and true in FF 2.0.0.1

Thank you for this tip.
Beats right clicking!

I checked into disposal of CFL's. I found a site that accepts your postal code and directs you to disposal sites.

It works for me here in Ontario. I entered a San Francisco zip code and it also worked. There is info for battery disposal avaiable also.

Good comments on night shows! Bravo Robert! Jimmy Kimmel is also good.

I love Supreme Commander. Great review, I am glad someone else loves RTS games.

The video card segment is good. I haven't upgraded my computer in so long I have no clue what is a good card. But I am going to need it for Supreme Commander.

:)

Wow, Robert. Someone sure was a negative nancy on this show. Someone micturate in your cheerios?

Its nice to see the 8th floor guys on the show again - it feels like its been a while!

I am transitioning from fluorescent bulbs to LED light bulbs. I got mine online from San Carlos ... LED Wholesalers. They are expensive and not as bright, last longer, and may not have mercury. Perhaps Mercury is better than Uranus (LOL).

Just remember the warning that the bulbs don't work at temperatures under freezing. I hope our green movement remembers that. LED's now has cold weather promise of savings.

Good comments on night shows! Bravo Robert! Jimmy Kimmel is also good.

I don't think you properly answered the viewer question regarding the loading of multiple pages on Firefox startup. It sounds like he wants the same default set of pages to load every time, rather than restoring the previous state of open tabs.

That functionality is another standard (albeit hidden) feature of Firefox. Leave it set to "show my home page"... then, just enter multiple URLs separated by "|" characters... pipes, bars, vertical lines... whatever you want to call them.

Example: firsturl|secondurl|thirdurl

The walk away was great! I laughed. Great show!

Am i the only one having trouble with the H.264 DL for this episode? It cuts out at 24:16.

I really like your fire fox interview hope to see more interview from other famouse people.

Great episode! Anyone know the brand of the shirt that Patrick's wearing? He seems to have a couple that he rotates.

Those wipes made my day!

Freaking hilarious!

Ironically, CFLs present an opportunity to prevent mercury from entering our air, where it most affects our health. The highest source of mercury in our air comes from burning fossil fuels such as coal, the most common fuel used in the U.S. to produce electricity. A CFL uses 75% less energy than an incandescent light bulb and lasts at least 6 times longer. A power plant will emit 10mg of mercury to produce the electricity to run an incandescent bulb compared to only 2.4mg of mercury to run a CFL for the same time.
