What can you say bad about an article that starts with "The best strategy for dealing with Internet Explorer 6 is not to support it."? We know IE6 just sucks, but there are too users stuck with IE6, so we still have to deal with it. Here we have a calloction of 25 ways to deal with some horrible IE6 features that drive all web developers to distraction.

And now I present you with Full of Win #2: Ffundercats - or alternately titled "How to shamelessly gather likes and comments by involving FriendFeed in your new webcomic" - Full Version - http://www.dailyhaggis.com/wp-cont...

HA! The superhero outfits are perfecto. I need to actually catch up on Ffundercats. I think the last one I heard was the one with Tina, actually. Which was fab, of course.

Haggis, this is awesome :), but it's terribly difficult to read the font if your display is more than 100dpi: I had to blow it up to 400% in order to read it.

Yikes! Might have been the .GIF compression as well.. Is everyone else having trouble reading? It definitely looks best at 100%/

Hehe. That is a good chuckle. Keep it up. Though, having to click three times so I could get it large enough to read was annoying. Still, worth reading. :)

I know, I know.. I posted that way to make sure the original item had my copyright on it. The Full of Win room has links to the direct images. I'm seriously toying with the idea of getting a dedicated site for these tho.

Thx Pete. I noticed I didn't put the symbol in on the last frame! (I also put #3 instead of #2.) Serves me right for doing all this on an empty stomach. :D

From the PC Perspective link page as I think they said it best: PC Perspective - "Oh boy. I need a new way to test." (1 September 2009) Starting off with a look at the basic technology of using flash for your primary storage medium and finishing with a look at some of the available drives, he (Anand) takes you on a long journey through this change in storage technology. You will learn about the various controllers that are used in the drives, with Indilinx being the most common and most thoroughly examined. There is also a close look at TRIM and other garbage collection methods, as the old style of defragmentation has a very different effect on SSDs. Check out his article and maybe keep Allyn's decoder ring http://www.pcper.com/article... ) handy while you do so you can see the commonalities and differences between drives, be it size, controller or other factors.

This paper documents performance for aligned and nonaligned storage and why nonaligned partitions can negatively impact I/O performance; it explains disk partition alignment for storage configured on Windows Server 2003, including analysis, diagnosis, and remediation; and it describes how Windows Server 2008 attempts to remedy challenges related to partition alignment for new partitions yet does not correct the configuration of preexisting partitions.

From the page: "Refactoring is an integral part of continually improving your code while it moves forward through time. Without refactoring you accrue technical debt, forget what portions of code do and create code that is resistant to any form of testing. It is an easy concept to get started with and opens the door to much better practices such as unit testing, shared code ownership and more reliable, bug-free code in general. Because of the importance of refactoring, throughout the month of August I will be describing one refactoring a day for the 31 days of August. Before I begin, let me prefix this series with the fact that I am not claiming ownership of the refactorings I will describe, although I will try to bring some additional description and perhaps some discussion around each. I have chosen not to list the full set of refactorings on this first post until I actually post the refactoring. So as the month progresses I will update this post with links to each of the...

A brief look at a few cool technologies you've (likely) never seen before, touch on some fun tests from Frostytech's unpublished archives, and collect all the thermodynamics research Frostytech has reported on recently into one location. The range and creativity of these thermodynamics projects is an eye-opener. Further, how some might impact our everyday lives is interesting. Safe to say, thermodynamics management happens everywhere technology is and the creativity of solutions is very, very varied.

Ever since I saw the Bit.ly JavaScript API I've been wanting to build a simple script for tracking the number of people visiting a blog post from Twitter. This past weekend I built a little script for doing just that - and in a completely unobtrusive manner. The script itself is completely standalone (no dependencies) and can be included in any page relatively painlessly. Additionally, since it's just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it's completely themeable and customizable to the style of your site. Before explaining how to use it, some demos:
- Robert Miller
None of these ladies, Yolanda/Shevonne?
- Andrew Trinh
Johansson...aside from the physical, I think should would be the better conversationalist.
- JA Castillo
What Yolanda and Shevonne said. Obviously.
- Derrick
Derrick, that's cheating. Let's say everyone had to pick ONE of these ladies, who would you choose (not necessarily based on physical appearance)?
- Andrew Trinh
from IM
I guess I would choose Scarlett. I wouldn't choose Jessica Alba because she is ashamed of her latin roots. Beyonce still annoys me with how she handled the whole Destiny's Child thing. Scarlett hasn't done anything to irritate me, so if we are not basing it on looks and I have to choose one, then Scarlett.
- Shevonne
Yes? Oh wait this is another cosmo how to secretly make your fiancé guilty trick. The correct answer is, they're all uglier than my lady!
- Mark Essel
from iPhone
Well, if I have to choose, I'd like to hang out with Scarlett. She might have some interesting stories to tell.
- Yolanda
Beyonce is just dos muchos, Jessica Alba? Meh. And I'm still hating on Scarlett for A) Lost in Translation, and B) Marrying Ryan Reynolds.
- Derrick
Beyonce is about as fake as the airbrushing on that photograph, and would probably hold a conversation as well as a potted plant. Jessica seems far too stuck up and high-maintenance, and I agree with Shevonne about losing points because she's ashamed of her heritage. Scarlett is intelligent and multi-talented, so I'd have to go with her.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Scarlett Johansson seems to be the clear winner so far because she seems to have more brains and personality than the other two (or she puts you to sleep if you're a chronic insomniac…interpret that as you will). One point goes to Mark Essel's lady.
- Andrew Trinh
i think i have a prob. since i only see scarlette... :)))
- Atif UNALDI
my wife blows these ladies out of the water. sorry, no bikini-clad pics. just take my word for it... :)
- Scott Magdalein
@Scott A quick look through your Flickr gallery can amend that. Hubba hubba! :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Drop Alba for Ayumi Hamasaki and you've got my ultimate 4some! As much as I like the others, for me it has to be Scarlett as she genuinely seems to have a personality. Oh and my mum's blonde with big tits so according to the Oedipus complex I really had no choice in the matter!
- Toby Graham
@haggis - oh yeah, LOL. I ain't lyin', huh!
- Scott Magdalein
scarlett, cuz everyone knows Beyonce' is a bitch and I have already seen Jessica naked.
- Lokei Atikus™®
what's the question? I pick D, all of the above
- Bryan R. Adams
I'm pretty sure Jessica Alba is the only right answer. Ever.
- Heather
Scarlett Johansson...tho that Tom Waits cover album makes it iffy.
- Joe Silence is not dead
I'd go with Scarlett, but dang that photo of her is awful.
- Tristan Seligmann
i dunno, i think the only bad part is the expression on her face. it's like she's waiting for you to discover the poop she smeared on your chin while you were napping.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Even though I can't stand her music, Beyonce. The other two, while pretty, could use a sandwich or a bowl of grits....just sayin.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
None of the above, it would've been Scarlett hands down till she stole my boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. Bitch.
- sofarsoShawn
If this had been posed circa Dark Angel, well, no contest. But Scarlett has since dethroned Ms. Alba. Oh, though even circa Dark Angel, if you replaced Beyonce with Original Cindy, I'd have problems choosing.

I've been criticized for [liking] too much ( http://friendfeed.com/sebayou... ). I've been accused of clicking Like on everything I see to make myself visible. I'm pretty sure my average [Like] rate is less than 50 per day.
I think it's because they're new here, and have their own idea of the way to use Friendfeed. But yes, Kevin, I'll continue [liking] as I like. :)
- Brome
in summer "liking" are so dangerous... :D
- hermansji.:.
Like can mean different things Don't take it personally
- Rodfather
I'm trying, Rodfather. I've been called a spammer, a wacko, an a**hole (or their french equivalents) and it can become a bit irritating. But all in all, I find the whole story funny. It's just that some people should take the time to discover how FF works and "lives" before making judgements.
- Brome
@Brome you are one of the kindest ones. Don't change, be yourself. We LIKE you :)
- Véronique Rabuteau
You just want some love ! It's like everywhere else, if people feel swamped, they should just unsubscribe, not complain about it. Personnally, I subscribe to even more people when scoble is too much, that way it minimizes his presence.
- Genaro Bardy
from iPhone
Thanks Véronique. :) And yes Genaro, fighting noise with signal is the way to go. But of course, someone's signal is someone else's noise.

in fact all the great stuff here makes it very hard, not to like a lot. (I once felt dirty because of using the magic button very often, but I got over it...) :)
- ★ Esther Rudolph
LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE
- Derrick
Clicking "Like" on everything sounds like a really poor way to make yourself visible; surely you should at least be posting meaningless comments everywhere? ;) Anyhow, if they don't like it (tee hee hee), they can unsub, or even block.
- Tristan Seligmann
liking something makes the post and the poster more visible. like away!!
- BEX
You can't ever please everyone so at least do what pleases you on FF where no one is forced to follow you if they don't want to
- M F
you're always going to end up interacting with people of the same level of activity as you - the people with a lot less activity will feel swamped when they come check, and might remove you, the people with a lot more activity might never notice you. It's like parallel layers, and sometimes people move from one to the next. I suspect you have, and some of your old group will stick with...

- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I know, Joelle, and I have absolutely nothing against anyone unsubscribing from my feed or just not subscribing to it in the first place. As you said, that's natural. But I've been publicly insulted and accused of mass-following people and liking posts to increase my follower count, in order to sell them a product. That's just insane! I follow people to gather information and because I care about what they have to say, I don't care wether they follow me back or not. And I have nothing to sell.

Brome, just do what you have to do, what you wanna do. Who want to teach you how to use FriendFeed? They just have to unsubscribe. So what?

Thank you everyone. Im sure when we begin the dividing of possessions and he moves out, I will be less than okay. Im reserving the right to have a small emotional breakdown :-)
- Mary Carmen
*Hugs* And, having a small emotional breakdown at those times is a good thing. Amicable does not negate the pain of the situation, and bottling up emotions isn't healthy, so let it out when you need to :)
- Katie
It's tough Mary. Last year I left someone after 9 years and it wasn't mutual. You'll get through this and I'm sure it's for the best. Love and support to you :)
- Lindsey is Fierce!
Thanks, Linds. I think we need some time apart. We both agree he has some growing up to do, so we are separating to help make that happen. We still love one another, I just can't let this continue the way it has and I really think that space and time is the only option to either repair it or allow us to move on.

After weeks of battles over aspects of President Obama's proposed health care reforms, the debate today focuses on one central issue: whether the U.S. government will offer a public insurance option. The administration stepped back from its insistence on such an option over the weekend, with Obama saying it is "not the entirety of health care reform."
- Intense News
Ugh! The public option is a key point for me.

Name That Foster Kitten Season 2 - Meet Boomer (aka Boomerang). Our grey & white boy is a real sweetheart. He aspires to be a lap kitten, but sometimes must rocket from lap to attack and back again. He has some odd eating habits (likes everyone else's food only), and is curious, contemplative and cute. #foxfosterkitten
VOTING ENDS FRIDAY THE 14TH AROUND 4:30ISH!! Names must be adoptable names, which means not really strange or obscure/in jokes (that can't also make sense to other people). Names can be people names or not as long at its cute. Something that is fun to say or rolls off the tongue easy is also good. We will take brainstorming suggestions for the next 24 hours and then voting on Thursday, not sure yet what the end time will be.
- Rachel Lea Fox
For some reason he strikes me as an Edward
- anna sauce
For some reason I thought of Maxwell, or Ping, like a horse I used to know that would startle at anything and go rocketing off, but calm down a couple seconds later.
- Heather
Oh, Ping is cute. I can see him being a Ping.
- joey
yeah lots of options already. Heather, he doesn't really startle, he just wants to attack one of the other kittens, but he also wants to be on my lap and he can't figure out how to have both at the same time so he rockets off, gets someone and then comes running right back. It might also be because he is a little chicken and the four of them have truly developed a game much like tag...

- Rachel Lea Fox
Aww, this is the guy that I want. :)
- Alex Scoble
The second photo above was from over the weekend when he would only eat gruel (kitten formula with wet kitten food mixed) as he wasn't totally weaned. He got done eating with a goatee of gruel hanging from his chin. I had to get a photo before he licked it away.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Oh, I want this kitten! I have currently named him Musfhaff (because I must have!)
- Janet
"Streak" - i luv his markings, the streak across his snout is cute ! [edit to support my choice] "narrow irregular line, stripe, smear; rapid movement or something that moves very quickly; trace, small amount; layer, stratum; unbroken series of events; spell or run (of luck, misfortune, etc.)
- Peter Dawson
He looks a lot like a kitten we just got, but ours is black on top and white on underside. We thought about naming ours :Oreo," but had to give him a cajun name cause he's a transplant from Louisiana to Texas. So we named our Boudreaux. But you may like Oreo, if his gray is dark enough.
- Katy Barrilleaux
Janet, do you live in the bay area? If you are interested I can add you to my list of people who are interested in one of them and give you more information as soon as I figure it all out. The kittens need to stay here at least a month before they can be adopted, but we can talk if you are interested.
- Rachel Lea Fox
He looks like a Shmootz to me (I probably spelled that wrong.) He looks like he has a little shmootz on his chin and could use a napkin.
- Marci Golub
Sorry, on the east coast but like Marci's name, it is used as PA word Dutch for something gooey/wet/dirty :)
- Janet
Yeah, I have to agree, "schmutz" does not have a good connotation in my understanding (as someone who grew up in the east coast hearing that). "You have a little schmutz on your shirt. You might want to clean that off before you go to the interview."
- Ragani Harris
My gray and white cat's name is Puddy and he won't eat until the other two cats are finished. (Puddy is short for Puddin'head.)

My adoptee, RubyRoo, was 6 when I got her a few months ago. She spent the first few days in the closet and wouldn't come out (except for critical bodily functions!) Now, she curls up next to me in bed, rolls over to let me rub her tummy whenever I pass by, and almost lets me hold her (for a minute or so, tops!) We're making progress. My vote is for the name: Rupert. (I don't know why.)
- Mark Jepsen
Mark, that is awesome! And really fast progress for an adult cat. Congrats to you and RubyRoo!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rupert! I have to say the Victorian names are working- something about the coloring, like he's in black & white tails or something.
- anna sauce
He does look dressed up. I thought of Tux, but it's kind of cheesy. Victorian names are way cooler.
- Heather
ok going fwd - new direct for the kitty's :)- my name theme now is going to be greek. So here goes -'Vasilios -With royal blood, regal" !
- Peter Dawson
PLS VOTE FOR "Patton" - GENERAL PATTON :)-
- Peter Dawson
And so begins the campaigning for names. Awesome! Names on he poll are: Harley, Domino, Patton, Lego, Boomer (aka Boomerang), Rupert and Nami. Though I'm sorry Kevin, but I think we shouldn't go with Nami since the other grey one is now named Nonny. We can save Nami for another time. Voting till around 4:30 today. He is the last kitten without a name!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Cat without a name? Makes me think of the old 'spaghetti' westerns......Clint! Hey how about that?
- Kevin J Hatton
Kevin, that is a great one, but brainstorming is closed and we are voting at the poll right now. I will add that to the list for possibles with the next set of kittens though. Poll is here: http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll...
- Rachel Lea Fox
Based on the current results, I'd say the poll is faulty. (Because my choice is not winning)
- Brian Johns
Sparky, other than your suggested kitty, what is your choice?
- Rachel Lea Fox
I liked Patton the best, but chose Lego because it had the best combination of "how much I like it" and "chances of winning".
- Brian Johns
because nobody wants to vote for a loser, right??? :-)
- Brian Johns
You know, it's a check box so you could vote for all you like. I'm not exactly sure when it will turn of, time zone settings are screwy there, but people might be able to get a last minute vote in.

I do like FF and use it almost every day. Wouldn't it be great if FB either left it alone so we can continue to use it as "professionals," or somehow incorporate it into a more "mature" version of FB that didn't have all the annoying, time-wasting apps, games, etc. I'd much prefer a totally customizable FF "wall."

here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service.

David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.

I recommend FF to some of my clients, and there are some companies and nonprofits with presences here—not like Twitter, but I'll be curious how that will be affected when FB takes over more. Most have FB fan pages, groups and/or causes, too.

Yeah, me too. I just saw the request to have a comment link at the bottom of the comments from one of your friends just yesterday and here it is. I'd say they are listening. Thanks FF.
