A boombox is not a toy!

i think id honestly rather use notepad than eclipse. you can rip on microsoft for a lot, but VS and SQL Mgmt Studio are a pleasure to work in

I have caps lock and control swapped as a system wide thing. When I switch to or from the French keyboard layout there's maybe half a second where caps lock is still caps lock, and I've never had a problem with that when using it but I noticed it when I was setting things up and knowing it's there bugs me a lot :(

idk, i've only been using python for about a year and the highlighting hasn't changed as far as i can tell. fits my needs though.

i need to bring myself up to speed with jquery very quickly. i've already started tearing apart examples and going through the docs.

my plan is to keep on keeping on, unless anybody is aware of a good quick-start tutorial for jquery animation

find code that does almost what you want, make it do what you want

mastering the second step puts you in the top 10% of jquery users worldwide because most of them just copy poo poo from other sites and don't know ho to change them

semi-serious question: what's the serious engineer-scientist opinion of things like ip, tcp, and http? are those masterpieces of engineering design, or are there chunks of them that are the equivalent of spit and baling wire, things that work despite themselves?
