Clarke's Three Laws

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Perfection & Excellence

"Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence." -- Vince Lombardi (1959)

Die Autoscroll Die

To disable the most annoying autoscroll "feature" (should be quadruple quotation marks really) in Firefox, just open the "Options" dialog through "Tools --> Options". Then click on the "Advanced" tab, and uncheck the “Use autoscrolling” box.

Problem solved.
