Here’s a series of before & after photos of meth users. The time between photos ranges from a couple months to a couple of years. GROSS stuff. It’s crazy what a drug can do to a person in such a short period of time.

Another reason to
Windows experts and web developers are unhappy with Microsoft. Yes, again. Since Internet Explorer 7 was announced, Microsoft has promised that supporting current web standards was high on its list. It turns out, though, that by at least one report, IE7 will only support 54% of the CSS 2.1 standard, as compared to 52% in IE6 and 93% in Firefox 1.5 and 96% in Opera 9. In addition to making a whole lot of web developers’ lives a whole lot more difficult, IE7’s lack of standards support is turning off a lot of Microsoft’s most vocal fans, including Paul Thurrott, who runs the excellent Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows. In a recent Windows IT Pro column, Thurrott accuses Microsoft of leaving users and web developers in the lurch, concluding “My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It’s a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn’t secure and isn’t standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators.” Ouch.

I built a new PC last week. I got good use out of my Dell that I had been using for the last 4 years. Ordered all of the parts off Newegg and assembled it myself. Definitely the way to go. This has a dual core chip which is great for all of the multitasking I do.

Specs:

Thermaltake Armor Jr. Aluminum Case
Antec 550w Truepower II PSU
Asus P5W DH Deluxe Motherboard
Pentium D 805(upgrading to Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 when released in 2 weeks)
2 GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800 RAM
ATI X1800 XT 512 MB
250GB WD 7200 RPM Hard Drive
Create Sound Blaster X-Fi
Logitech Z-5300e speakers

Overall, it’s running pretty damn fast. Hope to get a good 4 years out of it if I can.
