The latest versions of Firefox only remember which monitor they are on if you close Firefox while it is not maximized.
So the procedure to get Firefox to open maximized on the monitor of your choice in dual monitor setup:
1. Un-maximize Firefox window
2. Position un-maximized window on monitor of you choice
3. Close Firefox window
4. Reopen Firefox window
5. Maximize Firefox window
6. Close Firefox window
7. ???
8. Profit!
Now Firefox will open maximized on the screen you chose.
I was driving down the highway the other evening when I came upon a cop that had pulled someone over. As is the law now I moved over the left lane and drove past, but the car infront of me decided he was too good to do so. About 3 minutes later a cop car comes flying up behind me in the left lane pulls infront of me and flips on his lights and pulls over the car infront of me. Since we were both driving the same speed, and going the speed limit, it made me chuckle to think he was getting pulled over for not changing lanes.
I have recently started a new job with GSI Hosting as a Data Center Support Technician. I am part of the Implementation Team. Our duties include gathering the hardware specified by the customer, be that ordering new parts or using existing. After we have verified the correct hardware, we load the requested operating system, our main two in use are CentOS and Windows Server 2003 and a little Ubuntu for load balancers and firewalls. We do the basic configuration of the servers and after that we put the servers in the racks. If a server needs any hardware upgrades or has any hardware failures we are responsible for the timely repair. This usually has to happen in the middle of the night. When a server is no longer required we are also charged with decommissioning a server. Before the server can leave the rack, it is subjected to a Department of Defense approved wipe of the hard drives, this being a complete write to hard drives seven times over.
The company is primarily a managed and unmanaged web/data hosting provider but also offers colocation services. We also provide whats known as compliant hosting to customers that need to process high security data, such as credit card and bank data. This means our sites are very secure electronically and physically.
That is the quick and dirty intro for now, I will get into it more in the future.

Don’t hold cheese in you hand while trying to cut it… it could have been bad, but the cheese survived.
I was watching my dad tend to his honey bees today. I was standing about 10 feet away when all of a sudden a honey bee flies up and stings me right in my temple. Didn’t even give me a warning fly-by. Just wham, right in the side of my head. I guess the only solace is in the fact that when they sting and their stinger gets pulled out they die. That bitch. (Worker bees are female by the way.)

Just in case people don’t know about Heroes… well its pretty much awesome. Its sort of a double edged sword though because each show ends on a taller and steeper cliff-hanger than the previous show.
Yoohooo, waffles!!
