One more thing...

In my experience, Ant is awful for non-Java builds. You'd be better off using make.

Besides, Maven is a million times better than Ant, especially for very large projects with complex dependencies.

You have always had to sort of dig for the free version of AVG on their site, this release is no different.

I don't know why people are suggesting AVG in place of ZoneAlarm, because one's an anti-virus program, and the other is a firewall...


I use the AVG anitvirus/firewall combo, that's why I suggested it. I'm not going to trust my 200gigs to free software. I would never suggest that to anyone.

Exactly... So you develop for Mozilla, and it doesn't work in IE, which is the closer to the W3C standard.


Look, the bottom line is that IE6 is not fully CSS2 - compatible, and even avoids some CSS1 standards. IE6 also defaults doing some odd things, like adding padding to text, and not restricting elements within their containers.

I've heard though that IE7 is much better about this, and will even support most of the CSS3 standard!

So download it! Now!
