I know FF has RSS... stuff... built in, but FF is difficult to use at work due to the way the network is set up, so what's the RSS reader of choice these days?

On friday (2/3/06) i did a buy it now on 2 separate auctions for ink cartridges (black and color). Paid right away and even sent an email that day asking if i can do faster shipping on both. Didn't hear anything so i assumed they just shipped normal shipping.
Got an email from them this morning saying they don't have them in stock and may take weeks to get a new shipment in. Here are the two buy it now auctions, he has them listed at 38 and 49 available on both auctions.

Is there an ebay way of doing this? Or just leave negative or neutral feedback.

A guy I do contract work for is currently using Visual SourceSafe (like version 6.0d, the latest one until VSS 2005 was released recently).
Problem is VSS sucks ass over a VPN connection. We're looking into alternatives - like maybe CVS. We don't have the budget for ClearCase or anything and we all work out of our homes on this.
So in a distributed web setting like this, what's the best source code control system? Anyone have any opinions?

So, I had an interview (two actually, one with recruiter and one with account manager) on Tuesday. They seemed hot to bed me, and wanted to get me into an interview with this home building place soon. Yesterday, they called my current employer to check references. I know this because girly-girl answered the phone and took the message (boss lady was in at a business lunch). Anyway, word of mouth says that account manager guy that called was wanting to offer me a position. This was yesterday.
Today ...
Should I call or email with a "hey, it was a pleasure to meet you please let me know if there's anything else i can do yadda yadda yadda"
or should I just wait until they contact me.

I have a friend who loathes microsoft, on the day Windows 98 was released (I kid you not) he threw out all his MS cd's and he installed linux, that was the last day he ran a Windows OS.
He stuck with linux from then until about 6 months ago - it was like 6 years? something like that, maybe more - totally learned it inside out - used it as his desktop etc.
He ditched it for one of those G4 macs, says it's 10x better and he loves it - what chance does the layman have with linux when someone hardcore is totally sick of all th ebullshit and niggles with it they ditch it after that long.
I keep waiting patiently for it to get good but it never does :( - or at least not good enough

At some point in the future I'll aim for an Elise but that's a ways off in price.
Apparently Edmunds can't tell me what the resale value of a used '05 one would be but I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap enough. ;)

Is it really unfair to make students take this test even if they've had passing grades? if they deserved those grades surely it's not that big of a deal to pass it especially when the skills required are ones leared in the 8-10 grades. surely graduating seniors of 12th grade shouldn't have much of a problem with it.

I have this plugin for Firefox: Firebug
It kicks ass for debugging javascript and AJAX and a host of other things.
Does anyone know of an equivalent for IE? Or something that just allows me to more easily debug javascript through the browser?
