Well, I learned with 3d studio max (whatever version was new in -97).
It took around one year of self learning to get in grips with the features to actually produce something nice, but I made steady progress and it was always enjoyable to learn new things.
Since then, I have also learned some Maya and some NURBS specific package I forget now.

I have tried to learn blender several times. The starting curve is just too steep. It is not fun. I once waded through the newbie guide and managed to do some basic modeling and texturing, but it took a lot of effort. I tried to do something on my own and was completely lost again. I accidentally did something and was utterly lost of how to get back on track. The workflow was just weird to me. I could follow tutorials, but couldn't apply what I learned to what I wanted it to do. Finally I just gave up.

Immediately after seeing this post, I added the ubuntu PPA for latest blender and updated.
Yeah. "OMGZ IT'S FINALLY DOING WHAT I WANT!"-moment, just as someone described would not happen.

Mozilla Proposes 'Do Not Track' HTTP Header 244

MozTrack writes "The emergence of data mining by third party advertisers has caused a national debate from privacy experts, lawmakers and browser supporters. Mozilla's Firefox, a popular browser company, has proposed a new feature that will prevent people's personal information from getting mined and sold for advertising. The feature would allow users to set a browser preference that will broadcast their desire to opt-out of third party, advertising-based tracking. It would do this via a 'Do Not Track' HTTP header with every click or page view in Firefox."

I'm not a native English speaker, so bare with me.

Is rather really supposed to be used as a verb? To me it looks and sounds silly. I would always prefer to reword the phrase to use it as a umm... preposition? adjective? projective? :P
