Programmer's creed

This is my code.

There is many like it, but this is MINE.

My code is my best friend. It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

My code without me is useless. Without my code, I am useless.

I must program my code true.

I must program more elegantly than my competitors who are trying to put me out of business.

I must finish my code before they do. I will...

My code and myself know that what counts in competition is not the lines I type, the noise of my key strokes, nor the coffee I consume.

I know it is the quality that counts. I will write quality code...

My code is human, even as I, because it is my life.

Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its architecture, its context, its components, and its dependencies.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of function abuse and general bad-practice.

I will keep my code clean and stable, even as I am clean and stable.

We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God I swear this creed.

My code and myself are the defenders of my company.

We are the masters of our competition.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no competition, but PEACE.

Solution: All text in Firefox in italics

Out of nowhere, some time ago, all my (normal) texts in Firefox and Internet Explorer went italic. Meaning, every bit of text that wasn't in bold or a header went italics...
What happened was that for some reason the default Arial font went missing. Firefox and IE then automatically switched to the italics variant of the standard Arial font for displaying text in Arial. The solution is easy: copy a Arial.ttf file back into c:\windows\fonts.
I can't supply you with the file (licensing issues) but just know that it is supplied with every copy of windows. Just open up c:\windows\fonts on any PC that doesn't have the problem, copy the file Arial.ttf (Arial standard) onto an USB stick and then copy the file into the c:\windows\fonts folder of the PC that does have the problem..
