School sucks.

School *sigh*

School is a bitch. I'm serious. It's the second week, and I'm getting blown to hell by the homework. *sigh* I guess I'm just slow. >.>

Anyway...home-coming is coming up, and I'm sure that eventually, I'll try asking somone to go with me. I have a girl in mind, but I doubt she's going to go with me. In other news a bunny with a pancake on it's head.


Mozilla.org- Firefox home site

School- Jeebus...

Week two of school. Not fun. However, it is canelled out somewhat by some friends I have. Homeowrk is terrible. I have a schedule where I take every other class every other day. That's classes 1,3, and 5 one day; then 2,4, and 6 the next. I've been waiting till the night before the clss todo homeowrk. Very bad. I'm going to catch up this weekend and stay caught up. I'll post my grades occasionally. Or not. They're always pretty bad.

Why delay the inevitable? Firefox vs. IE

Well...I suppose this post is inevitable in all blogs. Firefox vs. IE.

Now, I'll have to vouch for Firefox in this fight. IMO, Firefox is has more positives than IE.

I'll do a side-by-side comparison, so that everything's clear.

Speed:

Firefox vs. IE

Winner: IE. Firefox is slower than IE, but for a good reason. Trident, IE's rendering engine, is ancient, as far as HTML rendering goes. It is not standards-compliant, and because it's old, it may completely ignore some tags in a page, or show them incorrectly.

User Friendliness:

Firefox vs. IE

Winner: Firefox. Now, getting used to Firefox's user interface is a little confusing for long-time IE users, but once you do master it, then Firefox is easy and simple.

COmplexity

Firefox vs. IE

Winner: Firefox. This is a tough call, because tastes differ. However, I'm personally leaning towards Firefox, because it's as complicated as you want it to be. If you want just a basic browser, then it can do that. If you want a fully tricked out browser, with tons of tools and gizmos, then Firefox can do it.

Aesthetic values

Firefox vs. IE

Winner: Firefox. This is where IE is blown out of the water. Firefox offers, at last count 108 themes. IE's graphics remain static and unchanging and boring.

Security

Firefox vs. IE

Winner: Firefox. This is a big one. Firefox has a lot of settings disabled by default( Javascript, ActiveX, etc). This means that whereas a javascript program in IE could launch a flurry of pop-ups, it couldn't in Firefox. Also, downloads never happen without your permission in Firefox. Can IE do that? ...Nope.

Overall winner: Firefox. In four of the most important areas, Firefox beat IE.

I'm not trying to force Firefox on you. I'm trying to show you an alternative. It's your choice if you want to use IE, or Opera, or K-Meleon, or any of the browsers. However, I'm trying to show you which is better, in my humble opinion. Firefox is free to download, free to keep, free to uninstall. NO risks. No reason not to try it.

House packing- Complete

Well...today, we pretty much finished packing the house. We're moving to Orland, which is in Florida, for those of you who don't know. I'm exhausted, because my room was left for last. Now, we've just got to drive to our new house. I hate road-trips that long. Especially when my sister's in the car. I'm going to be stuck with her for 7+ hours. With no escape, and what's worse, it that I'm not going to be able to bring my computer. =(
I'm going to miss my internet. I guess I'll do my best to get my hands on some internet.
