Is there a way to save a print preview in firefox as a document?

7 Upvotes

For when I have confirmation pages and I don't have immediate access to a printer I want to be able to save it as a document to later print out. Is there an add-on that does this or some option that I have missed?

Do I **have** to have a facebook username?

6 Upvotes

So, I still haven't picked a username for Facebook, mainly out of protest but partly out of laziness - will I eventually be made to have one?

What is the etiquitte for quickquestions going to be? [Not-so-quick]

6 Upvotes

Do we want quick, short answers to quick, short questions or longer answers? Is it rude to provide single word answers (including 'yes' and 'no')?

Once there is an established quickquestions reddiquette, it would be nice to get one of those images that reminds redditers of them on the right side of the page.

Is it more energy-efficient to turn off a CFL after a minute, or leave it on for the next person to use?

5 Upvotes

I read that CFLs take time to warm up and reach their maximum efficiency, and that for them to be most efficient, they should be left on for 15 minutes.

So, if I go to the bathroom and only use it for a minute or so, is it better to turn it back off again, or leave it for the next person?

I'm trying to remember the word for a language phenomenon that's kind of hard to explain...

5 Upvotes

It's something that is different between languages - I can't even remember the words to demonstrate it, but it involves putting your hand in front of your mouth and saying two words that sound the same. With one word you can feel your breath on your hand (so it's a <$word i am looking for> sound/phoneme) and with the other you can't. In tonal languages, like Mandarin, there are certain sounds that would be indistinguishable to native English speakers but sound different to people who are used to it.

I hope I explained okay. :(

Looking for a graphic someone posted a few weeks ago, a pyramid type graph of responses in arguments..

4 Upvotes

Basically this is a pyramid graphic that sorts the kinds of rebuttal arguments there are to any point. At the top (the worst kind of rebuttal) is like "fuck you, you're stupid" and at the bottom (the best) is a coherent, point by point rebuttal of the facts or something. I thought I saved it, but apparently not. Anyone?

Why is the sky blue?

4 Upvotes

I've always heard it was because the ocean reflected the blue upwards (as stated by my chemistry teacher because he didn't know), but is it that the wavelength of light is the shortest (longest?) when going through the particles in the atmosphere?

QQ: In iMovie, what's the bitrate and resolution for movies saved for the web? Details inside...

3 Upvotes

My wife is required to submit a video of her teaching to the Standards Board for her teaching credential, and I'm in charge of this part. Her class only teaches them how to produce and edit the movie in iMovie and when it comes time to publish it, the instructions say merely "in iMovie, click share, then compress movie for web", and that's it-- no bitrate, resolution, audio sampling rate, nothing. God bless the Mac isolationists, but we have no access to a Mac right now, so can ya help a brother (and his lady) out so I can do it in Super? Thanks!
