Going ANYWHERE with IE is bad. I keep asking my team lead if we can stop supporting IE, but he rambles on about how "most of our users use IE" or some such nonsense.

If I see anything like that on a website, I pretty much instantly discount anything that website has to say. It's juvenile, and wrong,as I get pop-ups with Firefox, and plenty of viruses attempts whiz right past firefox, and don't stop until my virus checker gets 'em (http://free-av.com./

"The _default_ is to not allow conversion."
and
"The _default_ is not to allow conversion."

have completely seperate meanings. One says what the default /is/, the other says only what the default /isn't/.

'more correct' might be:
"The _default_ is to disallow conversion."

but here it is clear that "not allow" is being used as another way of saying "disallow" (for something as all-or-nothing as "allow", these are synonyms. [synophrases? whatever])
