  1. Yes, in cold weather. And I nearly always, as did most of my classmates, wore t-shirts or jerseys under my shirt.

    EDIT: Actually, now that I think of it, I did it most of the time. I wasn't allowed to sag much at school, but I definetly double sagged, so I had to be wearing two pants. I'm still doing it. I'm really comfortable with a few pants on.

  2. Ive got a bit of a chav fetish goin on, even though im not from britain, hahaha.

    Me too, occassionally at least. Hoodies, with the hoods up, are a big one for me for some reason.

  3. I really like acapella music, particularly the Wise Guys. I also like Irish traditional and Rebel songs (think the Dubliners, Wolfe Tones), Christy Moore, Chris de Burgh, Gilbert O'Sullivan, stuff like the Beatles and Eagles, and I also listen to a good bit of piano music as I play it. In short, I like things that are easily singable, and have a nice story to them.

  4. So, sometimt - what's the specific advantage of firefox and "user-friendly" difference between it and IE6 and IE7.

    Well for the developer, it's so much easier. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) set standards as to how browsers should work, which all the major browsers and other groups set. Everyone but Microsoft manages to follow these pretty well. IE7 isn't as bad from a developer's point of view, but still having to test things, and write extra code for IE 5.5 and IE 6 is such a pain.

    From a user point of view, Firefox is hugely customisable. For example, addons are available (and you can write your own if you are able), for every conceivable need. Obviously if you use too many, it will slow the browser down, but a few are brilliant. At the moment, I'm using Mouseless Browsing, which allows me to navigate most webpages without ever taking my hands from the keyboard (making an external mouse for my laptop unnecessary), Firebug, which is a developers dream, and Stylish which allows me to alter any webpage I want so that everytime I see it, it looks the way I want. There are numerous other addons and themes available too.

    The most important reason to use any other browser than IE is security. Firefox and Opera are far more secure (although IE is slowly catching up it is miles behind). If you are open-source programming inclined, Firefox is open-source, and free, which IE is neither, and Opera isn't open-source.

    I hope I've convinced you to try Firefox out at least. You won't loose your bookmarks (and in fact there is an addon to synchronize your bookmarks between multiple versions of Firefox on different computers), and you gain huge power over your browser. And I've nothing against Chrome or Opera, or any of the myriad other browsers that exist, I just prefer Firefox of the lot. It really is an any browser but IE world for the moment, until Microsoft eventually implement the standards they help to write.
