Firefox Help: How To Manage Profiles - 0 views

  • Create a new profile In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows, follow these steps: Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit from the main menu of Firefox). Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista). Enter firefox.exe -ProfileManager and press OK. On Linux or Mac, start Firefox with the -ProfileManager switch, e.g. ./firefox -ProfileManager (this assumes that you're in the firefox directory). You should now see the Profile Manager window, shown in the screenshot to the right. From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles; if you created the profile in an directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed!

Babies give purpose to desperate lives - 0 views

  • It has long been an official pretense in Britain that we have so many teenage pregnancies - the most by far in Europe - because British girls don't know where babies come from. The answer to the problem, therefore, is yet more sex education: ever more children putting ever more condoms onto ever more bananas at ever-earlier ages.

Anti- and Anti-Anti-Islamists, A Review by Fred Siegel - 0 views

  • Two new books, Mark Lilla’s The Stillborn God and Lee Harris’s The Suicide of Reason, argue that religious extremism imperils the liberal—and, as they see it, fragile—traditions of the West. Both books base much of their analysis on the writings of Thomas Hobbes, the seventeenth-century English philosopher of public order. But they see the extremist danger coming from dramatically different religious directions. For Lilla, it radiates from unresolved tensions in Christianity, which can burst forth at any moment into millenarian madness. Harris, on the other hand, sees the threat coming from an Islamic fanaticism that the rationalist West is unable to comprehend, much less counter. Matthias Kuntzel shares Harris’s fears. His Jihad and Jew-Hatred is a compelling historical account of how modern Islamic extremism has been informed by the anti-Semitism of the Third Reich.
