Strong opinions, weakly held

Is it just me, or is the fact that there’s a Mozilla build for OpenVMS really cool?

Tonight, I wanted to look up the ASUS motherboard for the AMD Athlon processor. I went to the ASUS Web site, and couldn’t find any information about it in the product listing. Little did I know, this is news. Apparently, none of the people making Athlon-capable motherboards are willing to admit it, probably because they’re afraid of Intel. Great industry we have here.

Over at agency.com, somebody sent out the salaries for everyone working in their New York office to all of the employees in the office by mistake. Now the salaries have been reprinted in the Silicon Alley Reporter. I always thought project managers made more than that.

Richard M. Smith has discovered a means by which email addresses can be associated with profiles created by banner ad networks using cookies. Hopefully this problem will be cleared up quickly, since cookies are a very useful tool and I hate to see companies abuse them. Web browsers really should let you filter cookies by domain. Internet Explorer 3 for the Mac did it, there’s no reason why all the browsers can’t.

That Carl Steadman. He’s so funny.

As of today, there are a K (1024) searchable links in the rc3.org Daily archive.

Hey, cancel your AOL account, if you haven’t already.

Hy Zaret’s science songs must be a forebearer of Schoolhouse Rock.

If you’re thinking about buying a Palm, you may want to avoid the Palm IIIe (the lower cost version of the Palm IIIx), and Handspring Visor. Neither of these models have flashable ROMs, which means you won’t be able to upgrade the firmware as updates are released. I wonder how much money that saves them per unit?

I learned through an advertisement on TV last night about the dumbest .com concept I’ve seen yet. It belongs to piiq.com. I guess decent domain names are so scarce that they just picked two random letters, and registered a bunch of domains with words between those letters to create stores. Want books? Try pbooksq.com. Want shoes? Try pshoesq.com. Look for an IPO and valuation greater than a billion bucks soon, I guess.
