windows

i love firefox. really, i do. it can be speedy. it can be extensible. but apparently it can't be both at the same time... all my development plugins make it slow, and all my browsing plugins make it even slower.

how i fixed my my super slow firefox after the jump.

i just finished a fresh windows xp sp2 install... now it's doing the 65 critical security updates that have been released since sp2.

wow.

my roommate just got a new laptop for his trip to Cambodia, and we were talking about what he needed to do to make windows xp usable. a few quick downloads and he's well on his way.

you've got to be effing kidding me.

who in the world needs SO MANY CAPITAL LETTERS IN A ROW that they can't just hold down the shift key for a while with their pinkie?

why do i even have this key on my keyboard? i don't know.

that prime piece of keyboard real estate could be put to much better use than a key that is rarely used by anyone older than 15.

in fact, i can't think of the last time i hit the caps lock key on purpose. usually its only function is to annoy me when i'm trying to enter a password. or mess with me when i'm typing. honestly. what a waste of a key.
