One of the classes I undertook this year for my year 12 was music solo performance. Anyway, this year they changed the course a bit. They added stuff like Algerian Minor, Gypsy Minor, Lydian Dominant, and other stuff no one has heard of, and that you will likely never use. But one of the major changes was that they added the option for guitarists to write some of their answers in Tablature form, which for those who don't know, is very different from notated music.
Basically, because most of the guitarists were having a hard time, they tried to dumb down the system for them instead of teaching them how to read and write notated music. Learning to read notated music helps a lot when learning music theory, which we also do a lot of. Unless you understand the basics, you will never understand the more complex theory, and thus will not become a competent musician.
The same goes for languages. You have to learn the alphabet and a number of words before you can begin to understand it. If you don't learn the basic grammar and spelling, you will only end up confused and misunderstood.
MozillaZine seem to have a pretty comprehensive list on the about:config entries and possible values. It'd be nice to see a help section on about:config though, and maybe include all the entries in the help file, or at least a link to the MozillaZine page.
I remember the day I learned to use about:config. I was able to get rid of a couple of simple extensions, and it made me feel like I could make the browser do whatever I wanted. Some of the ones I use are
Some pages were taking a while to load up, but when I disabled IPv6, most pages sped right up. Guess I'll enable it again when more sites use it. As for the search, well, perhaps I'm just particular about this sort of thing, but I don't need any suggestions for my searches, and when I do search, I want it to be in a new tab dammit!
I recall an incident happening at my school, where one of our teachers used one of the school computers to create a Wikipedia article about the school. For some reason, he was left logged in, and a few weeks later a student edited his article. My school briefly became well known for it's "promiscuous female students" (which was news to me...)
Anyway, a few months after that, I found this teacher was still logged in. I could have vandalised a heap of articles, destroying his reputation in the community. I just logged him out though. Things like this can lower the credibility of people who edit the accounts, even if they were once respected members of the community. Do you think things like this happen often?

Maybe a grammar checker should be added to the next firefox update...
