i used firefox for years but found the new ie7 tabbed browsing (mainly the tab that launches a new tab) more intuitive and have since fallen in love with it. i tried to replicate it on firefox but after an hour or so of trying to i was unable to.
because i use both an antivirus (trend-micro) and spyware program (spyware doctor) i feel i have canceled out the security threats of using ie.
I structure and trade mortgage bonds on a wall street style trading desk so I believe this falls into the financial engineering category. I share a VERY long desk with quite a few people with each of us having just enough room to squeeze four 19 inch monitors into 'our' space, not to mention we all have colleagues sitting directly in front of us with the only separator being their monitors.
Now I am VERY happy with this setup and can confidently speak for my colleagues when I say we would never have it any other way. Our mortgage desk, which actually consists of a few physical desks and about thirty five people, has a dynamic cast of characters from hardcore quants with masters and PhD's in chemical and electric engineering from MIT and Caltech, as well as veteran sales guys who never finished high school. We all get along great, we fight, we scream, we throw things at the guy who least expects it, we listen in on peoples phone calls and throw in our two cents to the guy who sits five seats down. And we are ALL better off for it.
I don't see the point of separating people who are all working toward a common goal.
i predict a very low number of posts on this story because there is no way to tie this act of stupidity to america or bush, and how they are to blame for conflict in the middle east.
Why not go to MIT, Cal-Tech, or another quant friendly school where he could actually be challenged and among other students of his caliber? I'm not saying I could do this, I'm not saying he's not smart, but as many other posts have pointed out college isn't necessarily a race, and the knowledge and networking is more important than the degree. Plus, watching Brazil score 10 goals in the first 5 minutes against a 3rd rate team in the first five minutes doesn't say much about the actual talents of the two teams except they are far from equal.

i wasn't trying to be funny... why is it so hard to believe that someone could like the functionality of product A over product B?
