Firefox Download Manager extension
Came across this Download Manager extension for Firefox in the MozillaZine forums. It saves some screen real-estate by compacting out unused whitespace and looks better. Whether the interface is more intuitive is up for contention.

To the people asking for an Orkut invite...
Note: I am not inviting anyone I don't know even a bit of anymore! I've been getting a good number of requests and I have decided that it just isn't right to invite just anybody. Please do not ask for an invite. Thanks for your understanding.
... You forgot the most important thing - your email address!
I've been getting a couple of people coming in from Ben's Thought Crimes asking if I was willing to invite them into Orkut when they noticed I gave Ben an invite when he asked. I don't really like to do so, but I could invite people I don't know (I know Ben, sort of, so that's different) when they ask politely. But it's hard to do so when there isn't a way I can get back to them, much less get Orkut to send out an invitation (Orkut sends invites via email).
Not that Orkut really does anything for me at the moment. If you want to see what it's all about, fine, I may send you an invite, but I'll "delete" you as a "friend" after that.

Backing up your IMAP email in Mozilla Thunderbird
Henrik Gemal has written up a clever tutorial on how to backup IMAP mail using Mozilla Thunderbird. Follow that up with the corresponding tutorial on restoring IMAP emails.
Now those of you who're still using POP3 to get your email no longer can say "IMAP sucks because it doesn't allow me save my emails and I have to delete them otherwise my inbox will be full".
In related news, Omar Shahine, who co-designed Microsoft Entourage, says in his blog entry on IMAP, Thunderbird, and mail clients that:
Thunderbird is an almost perfect IMAP client for Windows. If you use IMAP, this is the product for you.

list-style-image alignment quirk in IE/Win and Opera?
Take a look at this example page I set up in IE/Win or Opera, and then in a Gecko-based browser.
Notice that the positions of the list images in IE/Win and Opera are misaligned - they're not in line with the text, but seem to be vertical-aligned to the top. After a bit of hair-pulling, I figured out that is because I applied "line-height:180%;". Setting the line-height back to 100% for the <ul> works, but then I had to resort to adding margins to the <li> elements to simulate a line-height so that it'll be consistent throughout the document.
Does anybody have an explanation why IE and Opera does it this way while Gecko browsers render it the other, seemingly correct, way?
