I'm tired of people complaining about how they're stuck with IE6 at their company and can't install other programs. Why not download Portable Firefox which requires no installation and use that?
I can guarantee you, nobody will want to use your computer ever again. If you're really feeling ambitious make lemonparty.org your home page as well.
Books Are Just Office Trophies

SQL in a Nutshell

· Score: 2, Interesting
I've always thought the books I see in people's offices are just trophies they're showing off stating "I know this language" or "I know that topic". I've actually never seen a co-worker use one of the books either. I agree with some of the other posters, that it's just easier to search Google for something.
I think If I became homeless (or even the months leading up to becoming homeless) I'd probably resort to joining one of the branches of the military. Sure getting yelled at all day might suck, but at least I'd have 3 hots and a cot.
A friend of mine was a help desk worker at a cable company and had a funny story. A lady called in saying her internet was down. After about 30 minutes on the phone trying to diagnose the problem he figured out that her power was out in house.
I guess at the end of the day, we just need to remember that we're being paid regardless if the end user is smart or stupid.
I've always made it a point to add favicons to any sites I develop because when I'm using my browser, it helps me find the tab I'm looking for quicker. If more websites took advantage of favicons that would sort of take care of the problem. If the site didn't have one, perhaps the browser could use a small thumbnail of a screenshot of the site?
Exactly, nothing like trying upconvert poor quality to good quality. I despise the new releases of TOS as they decided to inject all these useless segments that were never in the original TV broadcast, much like Star Wars did.
Some of my favorite things about Vista are the updates to the file explorer such as the ability to click on the folder crumbs and jump around folders. Another nice feature is the file view slider which you can make small to large thumbnails in increments. I also like when you click to rename a file, it only selects the file name and not the extension. These little things make me appreciate Vista and I always miss them when using XP.
Google may have forgot about this part, they will get rid of all their grass but have a field full of goat crap.
Reminds me a bit of the Simpsons episode where snakes take over the town and they find some predator of snakes to kill the snakes off only to have too many of the predator.
Personally, I don't mind if they want to do a twitter, facebook or myspace page but I draw the line at Second Life. If they waste their time with that, I'll be mad.
This article, or at least the summary appears to be written by a non-technical person. The speed of your internet or lack thereof has no relation to your computer freezing or slowing down. Firefox will run just fine regardless of how slow or fast the internet(s) are working.
Slashdot Mirror
That whole waiting in between posts is really annoying. I totally agree with you.

With users getting all sorts of funky output of our websites, now we get to test for the infinite +1 scenarios they can dream up.
The sad thing is, Slashdot looks broken in browser WITH proper standards support like Firefox, Opera & Safari. God only knows how bad it looks in IE.
Oh wait too late!

Lol, I haven't used the TABLE element for layout in 4 years. Get with the times dude.
According to South Park, Magic Johnson has already found the cure to HIV & AIDS with large doses of injected cash into the body...lol.
I wonder how the automakers will be able to afford to make these changes, especially when they're already applying for bankruptcy.
"When I do the planning and specifications, I go on lots of walks, take lots of time with my wife"
I enjoyed that comment, almost like we don't bother spending time with our wife's the other 90% of the time.
"In this debate people always assume corporal punishment means beating the daylight out of your kids."
Nicely put, because that seems to often be the case.

Why not tax people that use Internet Explorer? It's making the internet worse.
Doesn't bleach and toliet bowl cleaner create mustard gas?
Theoretically that shouldn't be a problem with IE8's 'backward-compatibility mode'. Either way I'd rather see Firefox win out the browser wars.
I think this is why the disorderly conduct law was invented. It short of covers anything that could happen.

If you live in an apartment you shouldn't even need to purchase internet. Seems to me most of my neighbors are willing to give it to me for free :P
