i finally switched to firefox 1.0. all of the usual plug-ins work with it, and there are no popups. i recommend any other stragglers to do so; it's really quite better than IE and the bulky netscape 7.x.
moving along... if you have to study something particularly boring and/or dense, i would suggest wearing large deejay headphones and playing the mind-numbing trance music i mentioned earlier.
i missed one: binary finary "1998," "1999," or "2000" (yes, it is the track that keeps returning, year after year... sort of like the flu, except uplifting and fun).
this track makes fed courts bearable. it makes you want to say "hey, sandra day o'connor, you really screwed over those black people in allen v. wright in 1984, but damn, this track is really making my pants misty!"
word.

yes. dump internet explorer *now*. firefox is a hot little package -- tabbed browsing, faster loading, better security, integrated ad blocking (get rid of pop-ups and inline ads), and you can install an integrated rss reader. in short, firefox is a fine piece of software that blows its competition out of the water.
kevin drum wrote a *great* review of firefox. he dumped IE after his mother's computer became infested with spyware that prevented her computer from running properly. he installed it on her computer as a preventative against infection after ridding it of spyware.
he just posted the steps he took to clean his mother's computer. basically, his readers gave him great advice. he did everything i would have done to clean a windows pc except that i'd have dived further into geekitude by editing the registry and visting a couple of online virus scanners.
internet explorer is the great satan.
it is so full of sheer fucking evil that they haven't updated the version for macintosh since may 2003. they were using a different release of the operating system back then! nevermind how fucked up it is, how badly it runs (when it manages to).
totally. fucking. unbelievable.
and yet somehow it remains the standard by which all things are measured - even though it doesn't have a frelling standard by which it operates.
fuckers. fuck those fucking fuckers, and fuck their fucking faces, the unclefuckers.
