  - I don't have the old TT to confirm, but I think it has to do with the use of anchors (#) around or near the links? -- nm - kilboooo Oct 28, 10:49 2
    - Dunno. It might even have to do with the page being dynamically generated and sending no-cache signals. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 10:53 1
      - I think you're right. There are many references to scroll position bugs in Firefox related to no-cache pages. Firefox users can install this -- (link) - kilboooo Oct 28, 10:58
The Horror list complaints about Jaws, I saw it in an inland desert town and when walking back to my car walked well away from a puddle in the parklot -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 10:44 2

Ugh. Just had to chew out an employee for being a big suck about not receiving a promotion four months after the preceived slight. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 10:37 9
- She didn't get the promotion because she was a douche, so instead of working to improve that, she improved her douchiness? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 10:44 2
  - This about sums up why she was passed over, yes. It was attitude and the knowledge that even if we gave her the position, we wouldn't be able to... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 10:49

Mamma Mia has now earned more overseas than 10,000 B.C., The Incredible Hulk and Journey to the Center of the Earth combined. -- nm - Inigo Oct 28, 10:31 5
- I didn't realize that 10,000 BC was a factor overseas. Then again, I thought the same about Mamma Mia once. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 10:35 4
  - Action films with minimal dialogue tend to do very well overseas. Especially Emerich/Devlin ones. -- nm - Inigo Oct 28, 10:37 3

- Not a half-bad idea ... :) I'm also thinking of making extreme backboards non-postable. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 10:28 5
  - or just have a pop up say 'This is a backboard stupid, do you really want to post here' -- nm - decline Oct 28, 10:30
