And so when I start up Firefox, hoping to start browsing, I first have to think about whether I want to update it. I almost always click "Don't update" (with my add-ons also) because I just don't feel like waiting for it to update and restart.
And of course, I never think about updating when I'm not browsing (why should I think about Firefox when I'm doing something else)? So Firefox rarely gets updated for me, which can't be a good thing. I'd much rather it just do it in the background and not tell me about it.
Bourbaki books are the most boring books you can buy. Avoid them at all costs.
This is a bit extreme. While they're certainly not the best books to begin learning a subject, they're great reference books. They're well written, (generally) correct, and what's more, they've got some seriously elegant proofs.
And from what I recall, they do have some diagrams (e.g., their commutative algebra book).
Incidentally, I actually was a stranded student once - in downtown Chicago, trying to get back to school, I had to panhandle for a couple bucks for the Metra. I felt like an idiot, but moreso I worried that all the con artists out there made it much less likely that anyone would want to help me out.
