Fan monitors by Loren Pechtel[_2_]
I'm looking for something that will simply tell me if the fans are turning. I'm not after a fancy controller, just a set of LEDs. Basically everything I'm finding is focused on controlling the speed, monitoring is at best a secondary thought. Any suggestions?

Firefox, a techie's delight by John Doe
I wanted to increase the number of tabs that can be undone after being closed. Naturally I looked in "about:config". Entered the word "tabs". Noticed the entry "browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo". Increased that number twofold. Appears to have worked. That is just amazing IMO.
