Rest of NFL Week #12 -- 9:17 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Here are the rest of my picks for this week's NFL action. I use the term "action" loosely since neither of the Thanksgiving games contained a whole lot of it. Bengals, Chargers, Vikings, Eagles, Steelers, Bucs, Titans, Falcons, Dolphins (and you thought the Cowboys-Bears game was ugly), Seahawks, Jets, Patriots, Broncos, Packers.

The Master comments: Eeyore's picks: Bengals, Vikings, Eagles, Chargers, Bucs, Texans, Steelers, Falcons, Patriots, Seahawks, 49ers, Jets, Broncos, Packers.

Silliest . . . Mod . . . Ever -- 5:26 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I'm not sure, but I'm quite certain that this could be the silliest mod ever. It's so silly, that I may have to download it and try it out myself.

DOOM3 1.1.1286 Linux Binaries -- 12:55 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

id's Timothee "TTimo" Besset updated his .plan with news that there are new binaries available that include ALSA/multichannel sound support. Here's the word:

No GUI changes were made in order to remain compatible with the first release, you will need to set some cvars on the command line to configure your sound:

set s_driver to best, alsa or oss. (best will just try alsa and fallback to OSS otherwise )
set s_numberOfSpeakers to 2 for stereo, 6 for multichannel sound ( whatever your actual number of speakers may be ).

For instance:
doom3 +set s_driver alsa +set s_numberOfSpeakers 6
will start doom3 using the Alsa sound backend in multichannel mode

I'm helping seed the BitTorrent right now, so get downloading!

Single Window in Firefox -- 10:35 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I just found a neat trick in Firefox to force sites that insist on opening links in new windows to open them in new tabs instead. First type about:config into the address bar. Look for browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs (type Single into the filter to make it easier) and change it to true. Then under Tools->Options->Advanced (or Edit->Preferences->Advanced in the GTK version) look for Tabbed Browsing. Check the box marked Force links that open new windows to open in: and choose the a new tab radio button.

While you are at it, check out the official Firefox keyboard shortcuts page for more fun tricks. I use Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn all the time to navigate between tabs.
