4/28    When I watch videos in Yahoo News, they are very sluggish.  Is
        there a way to configure Firefox or IE to buffer the whole video before
        it starts playing?  I tried pausing, waiting for a while, and then
        playing again, but it didn't help.  Thx.

4/29    Victor David Hanson is speaking today on campus:
        Host: Objectivist Club's Middle East Forum
        Topic: The Threat of Totalitarian Islam
        Where: UC Berkeley 2050 Valley Life Science Building
        Time: 7:00 PM
        For more info: email media@aynrand.org
        \_ Victor Davis Hanson would Object to your mischaracterization of
           his name, and his Western values would crush your commie objections.
        \_ Funny, I saw DHOROWITZ speak in the same building several years ago.

4/28    Shot a .22 caliber gun before and it was very boring... no
        recoil whatsoever. Going to the range again, what's a good
        1-size up gun to try this time?
        \_ .38?
           \_ I thought 357 is one below 38?
              \_ No. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.38_Special
                 38 special and 9mm are often compared against each
                 other, whereas 357 is a different monster.
        \_ http://www.chuckhawks.com/handgun_recoil_table.htm
           Looks like .25 ACP has 1/5 the recoil of 0.30 Carbine. I guess
           caliber isn't a good indication of "easy to use"
        \_ Rifle or pistol? "This is my weapon, this is my gun. This
           is for shooting and this is for fun."
        \_ A 12 gague shotgun is very entertaining if you like recoil.
           Try with 3" shells too!

4/28    I'd like to find salary info for System Administrators in the
        Los Angeles area based on years of expertise.  I'd appreciate
        suggestions on where to go.
