Death Came and Got Me

by Rosie Thomas

I can't,
I can't stop crying.
Every day I'm so afraid of dying.

Death already came and got me.
So I'm not living,
I'm not living anyway.

And who am I supposed to be?
Everybody seems to see except for me
Who cares anyway?
Cause when it's over, it's all over,
And what you gained you throw away.

When will love ever find me?
All my life all I have craved is to be seen.
Who cares anyway?
Cause when it's over, all that matters is the love you gave away.

How To Solder

Soldering is defined as "the joining of metals by a fusion of alloys which have relatively low melting points". In other words, you use a metal that has a low melting point to adhere the surfaces to be soldered together. Soldering is more like gluing with molten metal than anything else. Soldering is also a must have skill for all sorts of electrical and electronics work. It is also a skill that must be taught correctly and developed with practice.

This May Fix a Firefox Memory Leak

Now, this is by no means a REAL fix for the Firefox memory leak, but it certainly does appear to help it quite a bit. This little fix will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, and as a result it will take up less than 10MB of memory while minimized. So far, from my experiences with using this today, when you maximize Firefox it will obviously increase the memory usage. However, it does not seem to go back up to the insane amount that it was at before minimizing it.
