this is the reason I haven't done this, I started to do it and most of it made no sense at all. That doesn't start with an A, wtf?

definitely not the porn thing that Neo suggested, I mean, afterall, firefox has an option that doesn't ever include those sites in your history or offer them as possibilities when you're typing.

Yeah, combine this with the fact that I (maybe surprisingly, maybe not) don't do much web-surfing or whatever the catch phrase is these days. I have my few favorites that I check often but unless someone or one of those favorite sites leads me outside of my comfort zone, that is where I stay. I also use bookmarks and the bookmark toolbar way too often to have most of my regular sites pop up in the URL bar. At least, I think that's what happens.

(Also, Jason, don't be so sexist. It could be a problem for a girl too. Though I don't have to worry about it being the first for that letter.)

[zeroguy]

R - Rate Your Students

I'm glad I saw this, if for no reason other than:

Students who bring in gigantic coffee carriers that they sip and slurp on for 50 minutes straight. I have one student who actually brings in a f****** thermos, all silver and tapered like - well - a big dildo. As he touches it during class, I just want to scream "STICK IT IN YOUR ASS." Would that reflect badly on me or the institution?

Should I be worried, when I thought this thread was about non-Latin characters allowed in URL?


I guess this should teach me to only check Pweb every few months.
