I personally *HATE* Internet Explore for number of reasons. And they are not important. BUT THIS IS!
According to BBC News article, there are "Serious security flaw found in IE." We knew that IE had security flaw but if this is true, this is very bad.
It mentioned that newer version of IE allows hacker to steal username and passwords.
Better yet, read the full article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7784908.stm
There are number of alternative browsers out there. Check out: http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/design/browsers_for_windows.php3
I personally like Firefox, Safari, and Opera on Windows.
I'm very sure you'll find one that works the best for you that is not IE! Before you download any browsers, please make sure to read release notes and security updates.

You might ask how much do I usually pay? Last summer when I went Japan, I paid around $800 per person during flying into peak time (first day of Obon). Even christmas & new year, most I've paid is $1200! Those days are OVER!
Just for reference, I've searched days from Dec 24 to Jan 3 09.

I have been working very hard to install Ubuntu on my One Laptop Per Child XO laptop. I followed directions that were giving http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1435.0 . Every step, I followed carefully. But it was still a bit confusing, though managed to completed it.
THEN... it doesn't boot. It hangs at img file at the time of reboot. It get stuck. I even left it over night since SD card may be too slow. Well, in the morning, it was still stuck @ same place.
In any rate, before I gave up, I once again did google search using word "stuck" and I found this posting http://sprocket.io/blog/2008/05/ubuntu-hardy-heron-on-the-olpc-xo-1 that seems to worked for someone who had same problem as me.
So, I re-did every step now following new directions. It was MUCH easier than other directions and it went SO smooth, those hours I've spent following other directions was such an waste!
OLPC's give one get one will be soon available over http://amazon.com/xo from November 17, 2008 an ... more »

i am mad. i am pissed. i am one irate girl right now. WHY? i just found out that few people that i know decided not to vote democrat because obama is black. now it is a bit more than articles i read. actually, decisions were made while back but i just heard of it for the first time. one of them never voted in her life for last 60 years. but she is going to this time because she doesn't want to see black president.
I don't care if you disagreed political views, religious views, pro choice vs. pro life. BUT LET ME SAY THIS TO YOU. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE TO SKIN COLOR, BLACK OR WHITE! we all have red blood. we are human inside and out.
it brought tears to my eyes. i've heard this before that people were saying something like this, but when someone i know, it's hurts. hurts a lot.
Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia quoted: "... That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; ..."
peace, love, justice for all...

My husband and I recently became a member of Boston Building Materials Co-op. We were able to purchase blue rain barrel for cheap price ($60) compared to one that we've bought at on-line store 
for $199 + SH. The blue one will be hidden from public views. I didn't realize we have 5 pipes coming down from our gutter! Our 65 gallon barrel is completely full in one rainy day last week...
We were also able to purchase compost for $35! To be a member, it costed us $25, but materials they have are great. For our kitchen, I wanted to re-model in sometimes in the future (before in like 10 years) and was thinking about counter tops that were made out of recycled glass (http://www.icestone.biz). Well, they had the samples and I was able to touch them, see them, and admire them! May be remember from the posting back in the days? (http://blogs.simmons.edu/node/167)
Well, they are going to help us up to 2 hours to come up with blue prints and materials for fee! And i also discovered this m ... more »
