Internet Explorer 8 has a meaning.

Internet Explorer 8 BetaImage by Dekuwa via FlickrI read magazines and news most of them online and occasionally offline in print version. Whenever I find a word that I don't know the meaning of, I go to google and then type "define:patsy" for instance. We have online dictionary tools that are available for free like Dictionary.com and other softwares like Babylon.

IE 8 has this cool feature "define with Encarta". When you use IE 8 to read content online and you don't know the meaning of a particular word, all you have to do is select that word and right click on your mouse and select 'define with Encarta"!! there you go! It instantly display the meaning of the word! This is way better than doing the google define thing or using a online service.

It said “could not create java virtual machine”. I  have installed the latest java (Java Version 6 Update 18) and my windows is up to date. I googled a lot in an effort to find a fix for this issue.  Looked like many of them had the same issue and there were many solutions posted. I tried all of those solutions but in vain. Then I accidently found a way to fix this java error issue. The miracle fix (Windows Vista/XP): 1) Press “Windows” and “Pause/Break” keys together.
