CBS News: Bush Bombs On Letterman: "It means when it comes time to sew up your chest cavity, we use stitches as opposed to opening it up." Listen -- it's all over. Bush will win the nomination, but he's utterly and completely unelectable. I'm calling the race now: Gore will be the next President of the United States.
DaveNet: The Two-Way-Web. This is what it's all about. This is why I get up in the morning, this is why I stay up late working on software.
Help! Since upgrading to Windows 2000, IE 5 does this obnoxious thing: it hides bookmarks (in the Favorites menu) that I haven't used lately. It adds these little downward-pointing arrows. I have to click on those to see all my bookmarks.

Does anyone know how to turn this off? I want to see all my bookmarks all the time.

CNNSI.com: Strawberry enters drug rehabilitation clinic. Good! Hang in there, Straw-Man.
We should get better performance from the EditThisPage.Com server today. We have stats that show us which sites get the most picture requests. For the top 175 sites, we ran the updated copy pictures to static server sample script. The upshot is that ETP.Com should handle almost no image requests.
Before we started writing pictures as individual files on disk, our stats were showing that picture requests were one-third of all requests.
