Microsoft Is Planning To Renew IE Development
jm.one writes "In his weblog the Mozilla developer Gervase Markham (aka Gerv) points out that Microsoft is re-constituting the Windows IE team. You can save Mozillazine's bandwidth(they've been /.ed every day this week) by directly checking out this post at Dave Massy's WebLog at MSDN.
They even have set up an IE Feedback section in their channel9 wiki."
I am intrigued. What does that word mean?

Gadgets For The Elimination Of Dogs is a division of ECFA (Euthenasia for Canus Familourous Association). The GFTEOD/ECFA would like you to do one thing - KILL A DOG. By KILLING A DOG, you will ELIMINATE one USELESSLY RESPIRATING animal from this planet. Are you TIRED of having your TAXES increased? Humane Societies cost our country over $100 million annually. By eliminating DOGS, this money can EDUCATE OUR KIDS. OVERPOPULATION of DOGS is RAPANT in this country. Take a stand! Help rid this INFESTATION. KILL A DOG TODAY!!!!
Have you ever stepped in DOG DOO-DOO
Are you MAD?
Do you KILL DOGS?
Are you a MAD DOG KILLER?
If you answered "YES" to any of the above questions the ECFA (Euthenasia for Canus Familourous Association) is for you! Why change your sexual lifestyle or change your skin color to join an EVIL ORGANIZATION when you can simply INCREASE OUR SUPPLY OF O2! Did you know that DOGS turn BENEFICIAL O2 into CO2 simply to gain their energy to bark, drool, and howl? They ACTUALLY BOND their carbon TO OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY!!! One dog can waste 2 moles of O2 PER HOUR! This country has MANY UNWANTED, ABANDONED DOGS that WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO KEEP ALIVE. We are FEEDING them our food supply while making the homeless STARVE! By using a Dog Killing Gadget, a dog can be turned into beneficial food, helping us all. We let children go hungry yet feed our **UNWANTED** dogs like royalty.
Do you own a dog? Are you tired of its mess? Then get it euthanized. Euthanasia is a painless way for a dog to... terminate. However, it can be too expensive to buy these drugs for the LARGE NUMBER of DOGS in the HUMANE SOCIETIES. It is thus proposed that these dogs be turned into food for the homeless.

A-f***ing-men.

And people love Microsoft Office? Over the years I've had nothing but trouble from it. OpenOffice.org is truly a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I can't believe the amount of Microsoft astroturfing going on around here nowadays, and usually from Anonymous Cowards.

Not only did I get the pages to validate. By using CSS, I was able to get rid of several images they had been using with their design. The overall size of a page, including graphics and CSS, now weighs in at about 35 kbytes. This is compared to around 120 kbytes with the proposed code.
Dude, what kind of network equipment are you using? pigeons? are you printing out IP packets on paper to have 'em typed over by a bunch of filipino's in the other faculty building?
Let's assume you're on a 10 MBit network. This gives you about 1220 KB/s. In two days work, 16 hours, you've managed to reduce the transfer time for one page from 1/10th of a second to 1/35th of a second. The time you've spent reworking that page means that after roughly 806 THOUSAND pages served, you'll have achieved a net reduction in time spent. That is, you'll have wasted two precious days of your life, while the network will have saved itself two worthless days of it's life. Congratulations.
God I hope you're not on a gigabyte ethernet.
