Are you aware of the little boy whose penis was accidently amputated by the circumcisionist? Neither male nor female circumsision is "generally advisable". It was popularized in the US in the early 1900's as a "cure" for masturbation, and has been kept going by FUD and ignorance.
Ah, but the answer is staring you in the face. For each nested table your co-workers use, extract one of their teeth. For each FONT tag, kill them. Should solve the problem in no time! (although your workload may see a slight increase)
The guy from Indonesia is full of crap. "developing countries like us... can't afford [legal software]". They can afford legal software, (Cue OSS) just not Microsoft.

Isn't ADO Windows-specific? Or is this something else?
Hey, do whatever truly makes you happy. If at the end of life, you look back and have no regrets, then you have lived well. Whether that's having had a decent career with plenty of rich life experiences, or having developed a cure for AIDS or a better malloc routine is immaterial. (not that these things are necessarily exclusive)
My point was that some of us have a tendancy to pursue pointless, isolationist habits (such as video games, web surfing) as a substitute for social interaction. (hint: it isn't)

Apparently you are the "live to work" type, while your friend is more in the "work to live" camp.
As the famous philosopher Torquato Tasso said "Any time not spent on love is wasted." Sometimes those personal projects we like to think are important are really just an excuse to avoid social interaction. (trust me, I've wasted more than enough time in this manner)
Sounds like that guy at the dealership was a real ass. You'll have that in the 'burbs. I had a similar experience at a Harris bank (I think it was in Lombard) once when I was in college. They will never see a dollar of my money because of it.
Without knowing the context it's impossible to say for sure, but I've always heard it from pseudotechs (AKA tech support) as in "What is your PC load letter?", referring to the archaic mapping of drive partitions to letters of the alphabet (seen in CP/M, MS-DOS, MS-Windows). So I would assume that they're asking which drive you booted from.
It's not just you; for some reason some designers feel that a 8 or 9 pixel font size "looks better", to hell with readability. One good solution is to go into Firefox's Fonts and Colors menu and set a minimum font size (I generally use 10).
My standard procedure when purchasing a CD is to rip the tracks to iTunes and copy to my portable player, maybe make a CDR for my own use, and put the original on the shelf. At no point am I sharing out the files to the public at large. If a CD cannot be ripped (and I haven't found one yet), it will be returned. And I'll find another source that doesn't put bogus restrictions on the music.
They're just trying to address one of the major complaints that people have had about non-IE browsers.
The complaint that it's not IE? Why even bother then, everyone capable of running IE (Windows users) already have it. Running IE with a different skin is no different than firing up iexplore.exe.
Since you didn't grok my comment about web standards, I assume you're not a developer. Here's the deal: IE is not very good at supporting web standards like CSS, PNG, etc. It also encourages sloppy markup. By incorporating IE, Netscape will lessen the pressure on developers to write standards-compliant code. At the same time, the reliance on IE destroys the cross-platform nature of the browser, and by proxy, the web itself.
Even with Firefox having a 10% marketshare, there is still the entrenched concept of there being two browsers: IE & Netscape. What happens when Netscape has, essentially, become just another IE wrapper? Nothing good can come of this.
Remember the deals AOL made in the past to keep their icon in the Windows default install. I sense something similar is afoot.
I'm afraid it's worse than simply "a waste of time". Apparently, Netscape 8 incorporates the IE rendering engine, and uses it by default for "trusted" sites. This is a seditious act by AOL to tie the Netscape brand to the Windows platform, and shits on the web standards the Mozilla team has worked so hard to support.
Now that Netscape 8 has been shown to corrupt IE installations, Microsoft can make statements about how alternative browsers are a security issue. Thanks a lot AOL. Netscape would be better off dead and buried.
That's about the exact opposite of my experience with Windows. I have experience with Windows, Linux, and OS X. Linux still takes a bit of technical knowledge to configure, but is ultra reliable. OS X is reliable and easy to use, it's the best of both worlds. Windows tries to be easy to use, but ultimately dumbs everything down too much. Additionally, Windows has a tendancy to "stroke off" (pause for a few seconds) during certain tasks. I guess it's a problem with process scheduling. And don't get me started on Windows file locking, or a dozen other annoyances.

Hence the importance of finding an agnostic insurance agency..

Hey, at least they're not using Frontpage..
Am I the only one reminded of the ATHF episode where Frylock rebuilt Carl's body entirely out of eyeballs? Creepy.

Obviously, they're preparing for the new show on Fox, "World's blankiest blank"
Yeah, this guy must be the size of a Volkwagen to claim the title of "Biggest Hacker of All Time".

What air at the bottom? They're drilling into the seabed, ala The Core.
Funny how the nation's largest retailer gets away with treating their employees like shit, eh?

Bah, pretty much only hapless Windows users are still using the insecure Telnet. Everybody else moved onto SSH years ago..
Hear, hear.

Isn't that what they call "The Stranger"?
But why would you want to use 20 different languages, when one good one will suffice?
