I remember Get Smart. It was funny. And I had completely forgot about the "Cone of Silence." A total gag but not impractical, if you think about it.
And what about The Nude Bomb--the Get Smart movie! The final scene is a riot.
Two improvements I'd like to see on web browsers:
1. A right-click search engine setting (would help Josh's problem). Say you want to google a word or phrase in text. Simply highlight the word or phrase in question, the right-click the mouse, and select the search engine from the pop-up pulldown list. To be really nice it would be good if you could pre-select the engine you wanted to use (a default, if you will).
2. There ought to be a setting for a window or windows in general where if you want every link clicked on on that page to open up in a new window it automatically does so. That way you wouldn't have to right-click the mouse to do so if you didn't want to. It's one less step.
Okay, enough thread drift.
