    Here's a handy web tip my girlfriend actually showed me:

    Next time you are typing in a .com URL, just type the domain name in and press CTRL-ENTER. IE will automatically fill in the "http://www." and the ".com" for you!

      even better, get the "web accessories for IE". this says IE 5, but works fine for IE6. It adds a quick search applet, that lets you type "y search terms" and run a yahoo search. Google isn't included, but you can customize it easily to make "g search terms" search google. It rocks.

    Funny that you mention it. I was thinking the same thing (actually I was thinking of the much better book by Bret Easton Ellis). They really go nutts over their business cards.

    The censors are at it again!! After floating back upto it's rightful moderation of +5 the entire thread has been mod'd to -1. Again. Having no had over 100 moderator points spent on it surely the janitors would have put 2 and 2 together?

    Someone posted a diatribe about whether Slasahdot
    is a site for news or propoganda. I think the mods
    in that thread prove the obvious.

    .Sigh.

    Won't be long before the only posts allowed on
    this site are ones that contain the words "Linux
    Rules"

    Cya.

    I wasted a modpoint on that getting it back up to it's rightful +5 just about an hour ago... I'm going to post in the thread just to get that point back.

    It is a disgusting abuse of editorial power.
