"Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn't want her daddy to go to Iraq. So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn't let go. No one had the heart to pull her away."

Thanks... AJ... liking this a lot better... I was starting to look for something to replace friend feed... still going to look, but it doesn't have to be found tonight.
- Harold
I like this style except that it makes the fonts small.
- Raphael, Raphael
Comment font is too small. How to enlarge it in the script? I've already replaced font color in script with #000000 for clarity. Thanks for doing all this AJ. Otherwise, I would drop FF.
- Polly Potter
Ok, - this is very nice, except for the bouncing that happened in firefox on first use of script (screen bounce, firefox, vista) otherwise, this is nice.

Tried it and it didn't work. When I relaunched chrome, it launches to an error page (Oops! This link is broken) with this in the search box "enable user scripts 475k". Sure I'm doing something wrong. Just can't pinpoint it.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Great tutorial Sean! My problem was that I was copying/pasting your "–enable-user-scripts" line from IE which put it in as an odd hyphen rather than a double dash. When I typed it myself, it worked fine. It was looking at your screenshot that clued me in.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
The cleaner FF style is a little clunky when it refreshes from page to page. Does anyone else notice this? Or is it just in Chrome?
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
AJ, great tutorial on enabling scripts on Chrome.
- Mike Reynolds
Mike, It was Sean for the Chrome tutorial. ;)
- AJ Batac
@Jen Ooh, thanks for pointing that out! I'll make sure to note the double dashes in the article. I did that the first time as well
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Polly, to enlarge the comment section and sidebar font sizes (this is just rough), edit stylish script as follows: [CHANGE]: .main ul li a, .section ul li a { font-size: 13px !important; } [CHANGE]: .info,.likes,.comment,#footer,.pager,.bottom,.hidetoggle { font-size: 13px !important; } [ADD after ".searchbold" line]: .content {font-size:13px }
- Micah Wittman
Wow, does this using this on FireFox 3.5 make a world of difference. FriendFeed is actually easily readable. Thanks so much for this!
- nadezhda
Belated thank you to Micah for the tips about font size. FF soooo much easier to read now.

I found fixes for a few apps. But I'm really disappointed things like Glims, SafariBlock, etc don't work. :-/

I'm sure the GLIMS team will have an update soon. It might work in 32bit mode.

i've never used Glims, but Safari AdBlock works in 32-bit mode just fine. http://bit.ly/DazkB

I'd rather stick with 64bit mode and not have the plugins. If I'm going 64bit, I'm going al the way.

I'm waffling between the 32- and 64-bit kernels. Honestly, at this point, I haven't read anything compelling enough to warrant the 64-bit kernel yet.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Did you get it to load the 64bit kernel? I haven't been able to load anything other than the i386 kernel, based on the output of "uname -a" in a Terminal.
- Jason Huebel
I don't even have it yet. I won't have my copies until Monday or Tuesday.

Ah, gotcha. Let me know if you manage to boot into a 64bit kernel when you get it. I've been completely unsuccessful so far. Even so, SL is super fast.

@Ozkan, I tried adding "arch=x86_64" in the file they specified, but that didn't change anything: Darwin JASONMAC.local 10.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:47:34 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
- Jason Huebel
The issue with Glims is that it's a 32bit plugin and Safari is now a 64bit application. Apple made some specific changes to allow Flash to continue to work, but didn't make allowances for other 32bit plugins, I guess.

Just wondered where you'd found other examples - but found it on 4chan.org. Most of this was pretty horrible - a couple of people's statuses made it sound as if they were going to kill themselves due to a lack of faith which had prompted real worry in their friends and families. Not cool.

I'm sticking with Rubyforge for official gem releases and Github for edge releasing (repo hosting). I don't seem to have the problems that Rip is trying to solve, and I wasn't sold by Gemcutter after a few minutes of browsing the site, either.
- Pistos
I've given up RF in favor of GitHub. It's way easier to put something up, track it, make it available for forks and patches, and has instamatic gem creation. There no longer seems to be centralized anything in Rubyville: Many people have given up on ruby-talk, there's no reliable main source for information, even conferences have sort of distributed social weight. It's cliques and tribes.

"Tomorrow, August 6th, marks 64 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan by the United States at the end of World War II. Targeted for military reasons and for its terrain (flat for easier assessment of the aftermath), Hiroshima was home to approximately 250,000 people at the time of the bombing. The U.S. B-29 Superfortress bomber "Enola Gay" took off from Tinian Island very early on the morning of August 6th, carrying a single 4,000 kg (8,900 lb) uranium bomb codenamed "Little Boy". At 8:15 am, Little Boy was dropped from 9,400 m (31,000 ft) above the city, freefalling for 57 seconds while a complicated series of fuse triggers looked for a target height of 600 m (2,000 ft) above the ground. At the moment of detonation, a small explosive initiated a super-critical mass in 64 kg (141 lbs) of uranium. Of that 64 kg, only .7 kg (1.5 lbs) underwent fission, and of that mass, only 600 milligrams was converted into energy - an explosive energy that seared everything within a few...

Jeff, have you ever taken a gas dynamics/compressible flow class? Just curious ... if you have, you can imagine the atmosphere conditions behind the advancing shockwave. Simply brutal. And morbidly geeky :S
- LANjackal
LAnjackal, Yes I have. It would be hard for most humans to comprehend the heat and pressure wave generated by this type of explosion. What is frightening is that modern nuclear bombs are many hundreds of times more powerful that what we dropped on Hiroshima.
- Jeff P. Henderson
yep, i've understood that pretty much my whole life, living in one of the most strategic strike areas in the us, :( (i dont think they still do it, but in public school, every year, we had to write a paper on what we'd do in our last 22 minutes, :(

"Bai Yun, the female panda at the San Diego Zoo, has given birth to a healthy cub, zoo officials announced today. The cub is Bai Yun's fifth offspring. The father is Gao Gao, the zoo's male. The two mated in April. Initially, it had appeared on ultrasound that Bai Yun had two fetuses. But only one birth was recorded. The gender of the cub will not be known until a closer examination is made. The cub is described as roughly the size of a stick of butter. The cub will not be named for 100 days, as part of Chinese tradition. Under the agreement between the U.S. and the Chinese government, the cub will ultimately be shipped to China."

質量ともに向上した感じはありますね。特にクラウドサービスとの連携(Gmail, Calender, Google Readerなど, Googleばっかだな)がシームレスが大きいですね。他にも画面が大きくて見やすい, iPhone向けUIを備えたWebサービスが増えてきているなどなど、構成要素は色々ありますが。/行動様式の変化で言うと、スキマ時間なんかがWebで埋まった感じがありますね。最近、Webにコミットし過ぎで、どうにも歯止めを掛けないといけないな、と思案してます。

From The Daily Beast's comment section: "Orly Taitz has dual US/Israel citizenship. Her law "degree" is from Taft, an unaccredited correspondence outfit. Taitz is doing this because she feels Obama is bad for Israel, and believes if she makes enough noise, he will be driven from office. She is petty and vindictive, like other refuseniks like Lieberman and Sharansky." http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-a... (These assertions need to be fact-checked.)

Check out Orly Taitz's thick accent on the Israel National Radio interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch... I am not ridiculing her accent, but Barack Obama certainly sounds more "American" than she does -- especially in general tone. She comes across as a foreign fanatic and crackpot.
