I recently installed Mozilla, but I still need my hotmail account... Even if Mozilla is set as my main browser and main emailware, when I click a link from an email in my Hotmail inbox, it opens IE... and when I click the "email" button in MSN Messenger, it opens Outlook.
I was in the same situation as you... so I went to mozilla.org, and downloaded the full package and installed it.
A week later I realize that Mozilla and Firefox are different... I go "D'OH!" but I'm too lazy to download, uninstall mozilla, and install firefox, import my links, etc.
So I guess I'll be using Mozilla until years after people point out I should upgrade to whatever...
do you know of many workplaces that allow their employees to upgrade the company's computer? or employees who'd even want to pay for the upgrades on their work computer?
Thing is, why do most of us need all of this power? The only thing that has really driven my upgrades has been the ability to play games
You should see some of the "text" documents that come across my desk... full of craptastic inserted art, embedded graphics, and so on.
I'm using a P4 at work right now, and when I had a PII, I remember having to extract all the text content just to be able to work on it, and copy-paste it back into the graphically enhanced version.
I mean, I'm starting to be annoyed with all the time I have to spend browsing the internet, I wish all this browsing was automated so I didnt have to do it anymore.
Friday File: Nigeria moves to curb flow of scam-spam 8 July, 2004 by Robert Dutt
So how's your e-mail inbox today? Chances are, it's about to become a lot happier place. According to published reports, the Nigerian department responsible for economical and financial crime has rounded up some 500 people it suspects are involved in the "Nigeria scam," the oft-documented e-mail scam that gets us so many e-mail messages from "widows of former government officials" or "personal secretaries to the deposed president."
You've all seen them -- it's a message from someone you've never heard from before, in questionable English, anxious to make a deal with you to use your bank account to get some massive sum of money out of their troubled homeland. In return, you get a sizable portion of the overall cash. And, of course, if you're silly enough to go along with it, soon they'll require you to put forward a few thousand dollars to help "clear" the money. And apparently this scam works -- because not only does it keep going, but officials in Nigeria have confiscated properties worth $500 million (U.S.) in relation to the arrests. That means that on average, each one of these individuals had $1 million worth of stuff that officials suspected came to them as a result of silly Westerners who didn't learn from their parents that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
The Nigeria scam, also known as the 419 Advance Fee Fraud for the section in the Nigerian criminal code addressing the scam, has been around for years, first coming in letters, then faxes, and really hitting its stride in the last ten years as e-mail provided a super-cheap way of trying to bilk millions from their hard-earned money all at the same time.
The identities of those arrested were not disclosed, but published reports have stated that there are a number of high-profile Nigerian names on the list, including lawyers, politicians and bankers.
And things are about to get even worse for those using the 419 scam, which can only make life better for us -- last month, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission announced it is developing a piece of software that will be made available to ISPs and government departments worldwide to help identify mail sent by scammers based on volumes of mail and keywords in the message.
No word on what Nigeria intends to do with the $500 million collected, but we suspect you may soon be getting e-mails suggesting that for a small investment to help clear the money, you can get up to $1 million of the money you lost to Nigeria scammers back from the "government."
I only hope this roundup doesn't mess up the deal I've got cooking with Patrick Bemenge -- I'm only a few more e-mails and one cheque away from my $15 million for helping him get $150 million out of Zambia.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where Hydrogen is built into Helium At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot, the sun is not A place where we could live But here on Earth there'd be no life Without the light it gives
We need its light, we need its heat The sun light that we seek The sun light comes from our own sun's Atomic energy
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where Hydrogen is built into Helium At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot...
The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas Aluminum, Copper, Iron, and many others
The sun is large...
If the sun were hollow, a million Earth's would fit inside And yet, it is only a middle size star
The sun is far away...
About 93,000,000 miles away And that's why it looks so small
But even when it's out of sight The sun shines night and day
We need its heat, we need its light The sun light that we seek The sun light comes from our own sun's Atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine The heat and light of the sun are caused by nuclear reactions between Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Helium

well, depends on your situation... if the said nymphomaniac is not living with you, then you can go over to her place whenever you feel horny and find a receptive, uh, partner.
It's not just me. And I suppose it depends how intense your workout is...
I also remember reading studies on how semen depletion can affect muscle mass increase (or lack thereof) following a workout.
But those didnt examine if people got exhausted faster or not.
I do feel a difference in stamina only when I try to go beyond my strength (which is what I consider a *real* workout), until my muscles (and not my mind) give up. If I had sex the night before, my leg muscles' strength doesn't last as long as when I abstain.
If you want to test it, try putting your back against a wall, and do "the chair" position. Try not to stop because of the pain, which is normal, but when your muscles run out of energy to burn, and you drop to the floor. But since you re not a guy, maybe you can test your boyfriend? Use a timer.
yea but I know from first hand experience that ejaculating 24h or less before an intense workout makes you weak in the knees, and reduces your overall strength and stamina levels.
but hey, you dont have to take my word for it, try it out for yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
In an effort to prove they're not any different from anybody else, they're made out to be uber special in some grand glorious event.
You mean like Gay Pride street parades?
arent you annoyed at the insane number of mosquitoes (attracted by the CO2) at outdoor paintball fields?
I recently installed Mozilla, but I still need my hotmail account... Even if Mozilla is set as my main browser and main emailware, when I click a link from an email in my Hotmail inbox, it opens IE... and when I click the "email" button in MSN Messenger, it opens Outlook.
Is it possible to castrate this annoyance?
I was in the same situation as you... so I went to mozilla.org, and downloaded the full package and installed it.
A week later I realize that Mozilla and Firefox are different... I go "D'OH!" but I'm too lazy to download, uninstall mozilla, and install firefox, import my links, etc.
So I guess I'll be using Mozilla until years after people point out I should upgrade to whatever...
I wonder if one could use several CCD or CMOS chips side by side to create a "large format" webcam...
because the +1 Funny mod doesnt add anything to anyone's karma... read the Slashdot FAQ (and lots of people's sigs)
do you know of many workplaces that allow their employees to upgrade the company's computer? or employees who'd even want to pay for the upgrades on their work computer?
I don't.
I know, but if they had planned to have Sexium computers, they would have named the preceding chip "Quintium".

the article doesn't tell us when we should expect the Hexium.
My cellphone provider told me the first 1000 text messages are free, then I have to pay per message afterwards.
I told them about my concerns for SMS spam, and they told me I could have this specific function disabled if I wanted.
I'm glad I don't use it...
no I dont want to have to watch. ;) you totally ruined my joke.
Can I have Firefox do my browsing for me?
I mean, I'm starting to be annoyed with all the time I have to spend browsing the internet, I wish all this browsing was automated so I didnt have to do it anymore.
I tried to send them Nigerians a big bundle of Canadian Tire money once, but I never got any reply.

You forget that the Moon also rotates, so it would wind the tether around itself.
The 5 first alphanumerically ordered registrar names made me chuckle... they start with ! and #.
but still, it's not like they're running out of money
When you make a shiatload of money, it's only natural to want to make even more money.
I hope that the Huygens probe gets an extra lucky landing spot and provides us with the maximum data possible...
And motivates NASA to send rovers there, and elsewhere!

Chalk this one up to the media looking for scapegoats and excuses to explain personal behaviours yet again.
Doesnt it make you curious to know why the media tries to explain personal behaviour with dubious science?
I'd wager that the media is trying to influence you politically by making assertions that sound plausible, but aren't necessarily true in most cases.
I like puzzle games. What does that tell you about my political leanings? (no I don't wear a tinfoil hat)
