I managed to find these two missing replys to daves post. They disappear when I post them but return when I add a comment. they all run into the original post/comment making it resembling one large post (does that make sence ?)
Let's see if they show up on the Treehouse page.....
[add a comment] Surfing with the cookie warning IS slow but very interesting. I finally turned off the warning and just told it not to accept
any cookies. I have to enable the cookies in order to have access to the red updates and post/comment privilages at this site.
So are Bush, Chaney and Ashcroft taking any cues from Powell restraint wise?

I just said that surfing with the cookie warning is interesting. So slow though that I just set mine not to accept any cookies. (I have to change that when visiting this
site)
And I asked if Bush, Chaney and Ashcroft are taking any cues from Powell? I agree, his stock has risin (with me anyway) But has it with W? I hope so.

i guess we will get a sense of what bush is told to think tonight during his speech at the capitol. i remember reading one story that said bush senior was in the powell camp more so than the cheney-rumsfeld hawkish clique. in the end you would think his father would have the greatest influence with the prodigal one. i just posted an nytimes accounting of the rift at the top of the response team.
Poppy Bush considers “consensus building” during the Gulf War a great achievement of his. It’s so much messier here. There are too many cross purposes for a coalition to hold together over the course of what could be a long, indistinct “war”. Tolerance for a quick strike and intelligence help down the road may be our govts best hope. The maneuvering between our new pals Pakistan and India (who hate each other) is just the tip of the iceberg. They both hope to come out of this with US aid against the other. Bush calls this a new chance for peace. If he can pull it off I’ll love him even more than Rudy.
Mozilla has nice cookie management. I can set it to ask me before excepting any cookies, and when it asks I can either accept or reject the specific cookie, plus I can tell it to remember this particular choice. So, for instance, Steve could set it to reject all cookies except for this one. Or you could always reject any cookies from ad companies (doubleclick, etc...) and after you refuse them each once, you'll never be prompted again (all doubleclick cookies from any site will just automatically be rejected with no alert once you reject one and tell it to remember.) So you get a lot of alerts at first, but after a few days you hardly get any. In a sense you've trained your browser. Take that IE!

Jim, could I get a copy of Mozilla from you? Or would I be better off downloading the newest version? (dial up modem)

I'm going to write something about my experiences with it later today. It'll be a mixed bag for you I'm afraid. Still, you might want to check it out. I'll burn it for you. It's about a 12 meg download, so it's possible to do on a dialup (mozilla.org) but it does take some time. Maybe give it a shot if you're headed out for a few hours.
