In the last 3 jobs, I've reported my hours online. Every time, the website says I can't use Firefox, only Internet Explorer. Then I go to User Agent Switcher, make the site think I'm using IE, and it works just fine. Gee, guys, looks like I didn't need to be bothered by your arbitrary restrictions after all!

Though I see something weird here and there, overall, it's great. Could you give me the link to the news about Windows 7 allowing user to run max 3 programs. It's sound really crazy. Waiting for official Jaunty in less than 12hrs next... Excellent post. Though I see something weird here and there, overall, it’s great.

I am sure Microsoft will get a lot of negative comments when people start to buy netbooks with Windows 7 and realize the app limit. Maybe it will lead us to a time where more and more people are willing to install Linux - let's hope so :) Well said.
