You could always take a high-resolution digital picture of your collection and apply OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to the book bindings. Now that you have the names and locations of all the books, you are free to catalog them however you want on your computer. When you want a book, you simply hop onto your computer and choose one, then your computer will show you your picture again with the location of your book highlighted. You can then grab the book off the shelf!
I'm not sure how well it would work, but it would mean you wouldn't have to waste time sorting all the books, plus it seems like a pretty cool piece of software to develop.
I agree that Firefox is MUCH better than IE. However, if you follow one of the links in the above article, you are taken to a Security Advisory by Computer Terrorism (UK). In their Advisory, they offer a proof of concept that seems to not only crash IE, but crashes Firefox as well. Of course, this proof of concept seems to prove that the exploit can be used for DOS attacks, so it is unclear whether or not Firefox is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution.
If you are interested in a more-challenging version of the iterated prisoners' dilemma, one that allows signalling and coalitions without shills, try the generalized PD. The citation is:
Fader, Peter and John R. Hauser (1988), "Implicit Coalitions in a Generalized Prisoner's Dilemma," Journal of Conflict Resolution, Vol. 32, No. 3, (September), 553-582.
The authors are now on the Wharton and MIT Sloan faculties, respectively.
