We're back on track with a good Mozilla article. Now I can get some decent Slashdotting done. Well, that and switching my PC over to Gentoo.

If you're stuck browsing sequentially numbered jpegs at work...

I'm pretty sure that the sequentially-number JPEGs that he's browsing one-handed are NOT work-safe!
