 NAME
         pshift - paradigm shift utility

 SYNOPSIS
         pshift [-zzeitgeist] [-rragelev] [-v] [-c] [-wn] [+|-n]

 DESCRIPTION
         The pshift operator performs a paradigm shift on its input stream
         within the context of the current or specified zeitgeist.

 OPTIONS
         -z      Specify the zeitgeist context.  May be specified here
                 or from the environment variable $ZEITGEIST.



                 Supported values of zeitgeist are judeo_christian
                 (default), postcommunist, new_age, and
                 when_god_was_a_woman.

         -r      Specify rage level. Acceptable values of ragelev are
                 ennui (default), deep_seated, and consuming.

         -v      Set to verbose mode.  Normally pshift operates silently;
                 in verbose mode it publishes a 500+ page bestseller
                 entitled "Rethinking [input stream] in the [zeitgeist]
                 Age", and then begins soliciting honoraria until the
                 operator types ctrl-c.  On some systems it runs for
                 Congress.

         -c      Set to collective IO.  Normally pshift takes its input
                 from stdin and outputs to stdout;  in collective mode it
                 takes its input from the Collective Unconscious and
                 writes to the Body Politic.

         -wn     Specify first, second, third or fourth wave.  Acceptable
                 values for n are 0,1,2 or 3, with 2 (third wave) being the
                 default.

                 [On Sun systems, the logical waves are 0,3,2,1, which map
                 to physical waves 0,1,2,3; see Sun Technical Manual for
                 details.]

         +|-n    Specifies the number of times to prepend 'post' to the
                 zeitgeist context, if positive, or 'pre' if negative.
                 The default is 11.

 EXAMPLES

                 source $DEITY | pshift -zpostcommunist -rdeep_seated -v +1

         On most systems, the above command will output a hardcover volume
         called "Rethinking God in the Post-Postcommunist Era", in which
         the irrelevence of erstwhile religious concepts is seen to have
         triggered a global, deep-seated rage vis-a-vis traditional
         sociopolitical norms leading to a premature breakdown of emerging
         postsoviet infrastructure.

                 pshift -znew_age -rennui

         The above command produces no output, but privately processes a
         vague discontent which it will share if its space is honored.  May
         be redirected to /dev/null.

                 pshift -c -w3 -1

         Taking its input from the collective unconscious, the above
         command rejects the failed socioeconomic policies of the last
         thirty years and replaces them with a futurist, fourth wave
         polemic of traditional values, the two-parent family, and the
         supremacy of the  private sector that was the foundation of
         the American utopia of the 1950s.  Use a prepend value of -2
         to restore the American utopia of the early Industrial Age,
         a value of -3 to restore the European utopia of the
         Enlightenment, -4 for catholic hegemony, etc.
         (note:  Requires grass root permission.  In verbose mode, it may
         also require a $4 million advance.)

 BUGS
         You must have root permission to use consuming rage.

The difference between web surfing with IE and Firefox is the difference between body armor and a trendy cotton vest

 

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
