Speaking of audio equipment, does anyone know of a decent quality, yet cheap set of earphones?

Normally a ~$50 set, for less than $20 including shipping (12.99 + 5 = 17.99). Today only, of course.

Reviews:

CNET gives 3/5: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/maxi ... 10453.html

Amazon has 4/5: http://www.amazon.com/Maximo-iM-490S-iM ... 047&sr=8-1

Some random forum people seem to like them too (given the price point): http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/maximo ... -a-286143/

Thats pretty sweet CMD! ;) How long did it take to code for that.

Oh, about ten seconds, plus the time to right-click through to the Stylish editor.

And by the way: I'm not sure if I was the only one, but yes, I could read that. ;)

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("paintdotnet.forumer.com") {

.content, .content > *, .content > * > *, .content > * > * > * { font-size: 12px !important; }

}

Actually, nothing even that complex. The way PHPBB does styling like that is with inline styles on a span, so all I did was:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("paintdotnet.forumer.com") {
   div.content span {
       font-size:100% !important;
   }
}

And since I feel like a jerk for BOP-ing tHs:

I think I'm getting better at large work in photoshop. I decided to force myself to only make large work from now on.

hmm, best viewed if you download, the thumbnail looks stupid.

It looks pretty awesome too. ;)

Wow. The one thing I thought was new and innovative in the beta for Safari 4 - the re-use of the application title bar as the tab bar - doesn't actually seem to be in the final version. It's not there by default, and there doesn't seem to be an option for it either.

Nice one Apple. :roll:

You mean a la Chrome? I've always found that rather annoying, myself... Better screen real estate, but harder to get to and visualize. I'd rather have the address bar in the apptitle.

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

I did a little Googling on the subject, and apparently there was a huge backlash from Safari users against the change.

Thanks guys. You've broken everything.

Today, I was notified by USPS that my package has arrived (a white PS3 controller I bought from eBay) all the way from Hong Kong. I go to my mailbox, and I find a package that's unusually small. I open it to see not a PS3 controller or anything related to a Playstation, but instead, an iPhone case.

An ugly one at that (plaid).

So I go to the seller's feedback page, and it seems that the same exact thing has happened to 11 other people, all giving negative feedback.

Waiting for a response from the Chinese guy.
