This is probably overboard, but if you build a personal website with your name in the title (but keep your titles different on each page, just make sure your name is there). Then get some backlinks, Put in a pdf with your resume, your interests, whatever. Of course that takes time, especially if you haven't built a website before.. I'd recommend use a CMS like drupal with the Page Title module. SEO really isn't that difficult when there isn't much competition.. Also you can get hosting for as low as like $4 a month and a domain name is only $10 a year..
Lets just hope he doesn't spend money in office at the same rate.
Come on, prime time 30 minute commercials from a guy who originally only wanted public campaign money.. Lets just hope he's more honest when he gets to the white house.
They don't keep lowering the cap. 250gb this month, 200 next month, 150 the next.. Eventually they'll pull the bullshit the cell phone providers do and they'll charge per gigabyte or you pay an extra $5 a month and you get 100 gigs free, or pay $10 extra and get 250 gigs, or you can pay an extra $25 and get unlimited..
See, back in the day before text messaging was popular, I used to do text messaging for free, then the cell phone providers realized how much money they could make by charging for it.. Now at&t charges around 15 or 20 cents for every incoming and outgoing text message unless you pay extra for some bs text messaging plan.
I'm all for them specifying a cap, assuming they stay honest and aren't planning on using it as a ploy to get eventually get more money on additions to a base plan
IE conditional comments are a pain in the ass to maintain. And writing them is ugly as hell. You've got to understand what ie treats as a comment and what it doesnt, and which version that is targeting since the format changes.
I suppose if you do it on a regular basis it is simple, but they really don't need to be used except in very rare situations.
What we do is the same or similar as already mentioned. Define all your styles in base stylesheets.. Don't hack anything in them at all. Try and get IE working perfectly with just these but if thats not possible, use the same name stylesheet as your normal one with -ie.css concatenated (so base.css becomes base-ie.css), and then if you are using something like jsp and you can include a special tag, write a stylsheet tag that will inspect the user agent string and if it included ie6 then import the IE stysleet (along with the regular one). In that stylsheet just overwrite/add styles to fix the problems.
We only use this to give IE 6 a different stylesheet, IE 7 gets the same thing as all other browsers.. If we have to we'll include a conditional comment in the header to target IE7 but so far I think we've only had to do that once in the past year where I've been employed. And as for IE 5 or less compliance, if you are still using that trash, your experience should be as painful as possible.
Oh.. and to think you can't rely on the user agent string is a bit silly in this case. If the user has IE 6 they surely haven't changed his or her user agent string because they obviously know nothing about web browsers. If they are using firefox or opera and claiming to be IE 6, then you've got a slight problem, except that they probably know how to switch it back and get the site working correctly.
Thats not bad, but I prefer doing all of my work on the command line in a cygwin instance of windows xp guest on an ubuntu host running windows hyper v through wine.
Hint, try wikiepdia.
To narrow that list down a bit, try
virtualbox,
qemu,
vmware server (or workstation if you are willing to pay)
Currently I'm using virtualbox, but I had used vmware server for a year or two and liked it a lot. However, Virtualbox is easier to install/update
on my ubuntu host since it has premade deb packages for ubuntu. Also, virtualbox seems to be about as fast as vmware and it has seemeless mode (check youtube if you don't know what that is)

the latest indiana jones wasn't [interesting]

Too bad 240k of them were getter and setter methods
wow IE users can view and make comments on slashdot now. I thought you IE guys only wrote conditional comments.

I'm not sure which is worse, trying to get ubuntu installed through virtual pc or relying on slashdot for all of your technology advice.
