Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE
KillaKen187 writes "A CNET article claims that 'just days after the launch of open-source browser Firefox 1.0, Microsoft executives defended Internet Explorer, saying it is no less secure than any other browser and doesn't lack any important features.' It's also interesting to note that these statements made by Steve Vamos, Microsoft Australia's managing director, come with no knowledge of what Firefox has to offer as he admits not even installing or using Firefox."
So am I, with one of the many IE addons such as slimbrowser.
Baghdad Bob had been bagged...

There is an "admit" in that sentence look precarious to me.
off topic, but i really wished i could find the place to set urls that open new windows to open new tabs instead.
you can't have everything, where would you put it?
Lamers always bring up the social life issue.
I am sorry to report to you that I am very happy with my life. I neither live in my parent's basement nor shout at the TV (mainly because I don't watch a lot of TV, it's boring). I date very happily amongst a group of people I find attractive, interesting and sexually creative. No problems there. Ho hum...
What you fail to understand is that most people of very high competence often more than excel at many other areas of life also. We are better looking than average, often very well socialized (thanks for asking), and probably make more money than most people (probably because of the first two things mentioned, and not forgetting the high competence factor).
And your right, Slashdot can be a bit free-wheeling. I still find it interesting and often informative. Your point again?
As it occurs, theoretical physics is a pet interest of mine. And I would have no problem coding in APL if it ever comes up. Only a moron is bound to one language.
You just don't get it do you? I have general knowledge where I only need general knowledge; but where I need detailed specialized knowledge I either already possess it or can acquire it lickety-split. That's how I exercise the space between my ears.
