A quick and simple way would be to use Firefox's zoom settings. These settings are site-specific. Hit Control-plus or Control-minus until things are readable. Control-zero brings you back to the default. On a Mac, substitute Command for Control. By default, Firefox will zoom the whole page, including text and pictures. If you'd like to try zooming text only, check "Zoom Text Only" in the Zoom submenu of the View Menu. Unfortunately, you can't choose to zoom both pictures and text on some sites and text only on others. Another option is to use Firefox's Stylish extension. You can do almost anything you want to a site with this extension as long as you know CSS. As an example, you might want to increase font sizes in posts while leaving everything else alone. If you want to go this route, I can feed you some code with next to no effort. Stylish is also available for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.

Since the Brewers are in Milwaukee, you'd have to make them the Wauwatosa Brewers of Milwaukee.

Color e-ink would be cool. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Besides being easy to read, e-ink offers a major battery advantage. DHonks, how do the iPad's edges affect you? Do they make it harder than necessary to hold? I'm in about 80% agreement with thebruce44's statement: The problem with that line of thinking is that you can pretty much always say that. The tech is never going to stop evolving this fast, if anything its going to speed up. However, with the Fire, we have a first generation product with flaws that would hopefully stand a good chance of being corrected. In the case of the iPad 2, we're likely to see an upgraded model soon. Having said that, if I decided that I needed a full-fledged tablet tomorrow, I'd go to apple.com and order an iPad 2. If I my need was no more than ebooks, I'd probably buy the ad-free version of the basic e-ink Kindle.

As you probably found out, the Fire is a specialty device while the Samsung, iPad, etc. are fully equipped to do a lot of things. You've probably read about some of the Fire's issues, too, e.g. unresponsive touch screen, slowness, a wonky web browser, being easy to turn off accidentally, and lack of security. Some of those issues can probably addressed by software updates while others (like being too easy to turn on and off) would require hardware redesign. Many reviewers prefer the original Kindle design over the Fire if the objective is to read ebooks. They also point out that magazines don't work out well on a seven inch screen. If you want to play games, browse the web more than a little bit, and do a little bit of productive work, a full featured tablet like the iPad or Galaxy Tab would be a better fit. The iPad is the only product in this category that's been a successful seller. That doesn't mean that its competitors aren't good (although a lot of them are crap). However, it does mean that there's always a danger of products being discontinued.

I just poked around a bit, and it seems that there are plenty of hard drive options available at reasonable prices along with some that have grossly inflated prices. What exactly would you be looking for? Would you like a self-powered portable, or would you like something that you'd plug into the wall (which would cost less per GB)? Do you need anything more than USB 2, i.e. USB 3 or Firewire?
-
Yeah, the floods in Thailand really did a number on hard drive prices. I wouldn't buy unless the price looked close to reasonable or if I had an emergency. Prices do seem to fluctuate, so you might find a window of opportunity. If you really think you need something now, I'd post here for help to see how badly you might be getting hit. Those who've followed the prices can tell you if the price is "good" in today's terms. I've been thinking of upgrading the internal drive in my MacBook Pro, but it occurred to me that my main backup drive would become too small. That would mean buying two drives. I check my favorite site (Other World Computing) pretty frequently, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger.

Brewers Offer Arby to Prince and Krod

You can't be serious with half the drivel you post. Please take care to address the message rather than attacking the messenger. Condescension doesn't make one's point any stronger. -

Almost every iPod would be tied to an Apple ID, either to sync it with iCloud or with iTunes on one's computer. I suppose that people could use a fake name when creating an Apple ID. But if they actually use that ID to buy stuff, they'd likely have to use a real name and address for credit or debit cards to work. The serial number could be of some help, too, although that could be a little muddled if the device was ever resold.

You know that whatever these channels are doing is working when people refer to them by their slogans (TMJ4) instead of Channel 4 or WTMJ.

There's a laundry list of issues: 502s, posts disappearing and reappearing, trouble accessing chat, and Who's Online not working. It appears that these problems could persist for several more hours. -

No one has this story straight. Remember a few years ago when ESPN reported that Ben Sheets was going to be eligible for free agency a whole year earlier than he actually was… then stuck with that story all winter. After that, the bloggers and other press outlets picked up on that misinformation… and stuck with it all winter. The only ones who had it right were the Brewers media outlets and Brewers-related sites.

If he proves his case and his suspension is overturned… There's no suspension to overturn at this point.

Brewers Offer Arby to Prince and Krod
1992casey replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
KRod at that salary will not do. I trust Melvin to realize this. I think that Doug's already acknowledged that the salary situation isn't optimal. "Will not do" is probably a little strong, and it indicates a level of desperation that I don't think is present. The available options need to be examined. The best option may be to keep him. Paying him a bunch of money to play elsewhere isn't going to do a lot of good. -
Brewers Offer Arby to Prince and Krod
1992casey replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Why should I care what the Brewers pay him? I'll be glad that they have a reliable reliever, what his paycheck is does not really concern me. If a contract keeps the team from adding other players, we should care. Available money isn't infinite. We've seen some good points ranging from concern about the overpayment amount itself to the idea that no reliever — closer or otherwise — is worth that much money. Having said that, I don't think the monetary impact is going to be that great, but the freed up cash plus the draft picks might have been nice. And as I said above, we're "stuck" with a superb player. This isn't the same as eating millions for a guy who's playing for another team or not playing at all. -

1992casey replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Right, but couldn't he agree to a deal with the Brewers based on some off the record negotiations with another team? The Brewers could then sign him to that deal and trade him to said team.If it's done "off the record," the other team would be tampering. The "on the record" way to do this would be to ask the commissioner's office to allow a window for a potential trading partner to negotiate with K-Rod. We see this occasionally with trade deadline deals.
