I recently went through a huge list of free/cheap text editors looking for something powerful and lightweight to do web work on on windows.

Anyone know a list of retailers that ships internationally? I've tried searching for one before, but never found a good source.

IT works really well when you activate it and then use the mouse when to scroll down over the results - very quick way to get a look at many sites.

I just had to delete all my interests and hobbies to avoid getting my avatar stuck on pages for all of them.

Even if you already own the product in question, it's often easier and faster to download a copy than to search in your attic for it, or to attempt to circumvent the DRM to put it on your hardware.

Taskbar's at the bottom. But my TAB BAR in firefox is at the side*... makes much more sense with a widescreen monitor that is mostly wasted space at the sides on most websites.

Tip: Don't buy Sony earphones that stop working after around 6-8 months.

Tried the double boiling idea with my cheap home coffee maker when it was suggested last time.

As others have said, OO has two main flaws:

The integration with twitter, etc.. seems like a reasonably good idea, but I can't believe that - after the fuss when they made google-reader shared items public without asking people - they made the same mistake again of not asking people!

I'd like a kindle or nook, if they weren't so expensive. the e-Ink screens are really nice.

@Bill Clark: the point is that h.264 will be a PAID closed standard from the end of this year... so if firefox wants to include it in their software then they'll have to pay a license fee... so firefox will no longer be free software.

I mostly use Diigo (great and should be more well known) and Evernote (slightly over-rated) for this kind of thing. But this looks cool too.

Finally!!

is mozilla working on some form of group policy support for firefox? It seems like if they'd integrated that a while back they'd have a market majority by now.

It's all well and good in theory, but it's all a total pain in the butt in practice.

It doesn't seem to be in any way legal or authorized though. It's just a collection of links to documentaries in youtube.

is it good for your laptop to keep it at an angle?

Now go try mediamonkey (plus some of the cool scripts like MonkeyRok, genrefinder, etc...) then you can say you've tried something GOOD rather than something cool.

It seems to be mostly MS Updates that slow down my PC. A fresh vista install was REALLY snappy, and i haven't installed much else on it... but after one or two big Patch Tuesdays it all started to slow down.
