    Well, why have a plugin system if you aren't going to use it?
    Frankly, I wish they would rip out RSS, spell check, tabs... nearly everything... and make plugins (and include a collection in the default install).

    The longer he stays in the more likely he is to be promoted. And handed a bigger golden parachute.

  13. Re:I don't get it... on Microsoft Donates Code To Apache's "Stonehenge" Project · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft really cares about these things, why have they continued to hack on Trident, which has been so far behind in both of those areas? Why not just adopt Gecko or Webkit as the IE/Windows rendering engine?

    One would have to be completely immersed in anti-Israel prejudice in order not to see that if there is one country in the world that values and cherishes the prosperity and security of the U.S. as much or more than U.S. itself, it's Israel.

    No, one just needs a healthy dose of paranoia.
