Have you tried to report a bug? I know my browsers all work fine here; then again, I haven't used that Internet Explorer you mentioned for quite some time.
Anyway, I'm fairly sure it's not the site, but the browser. Reporting a bug should get it solved fairly quickly, especially since proprietary software is developed in a significantly better-organized fashion, with proper quality control and teams of programmers devoted to stamping out bugs.
My choice, at the time, was between a ThinkPad and a MacBook Pro. The Windows-less ThinkPad went out of stock, so I got an MBP. I've never regretted it.
The world is coming to people bitching and moaning whenever any of their precious stability in life is taken away. Between the new Facebook, the new Flickr, and now iGoogle, I've seen so many people complaining for no other reason than that it's different. Call me naive, but I have faith in these companies that they made these changes for a reason, namely that they did tests and concluded it would improve the user experience, and that the bugs will be worked out in time.
(And about the FireWire: people were whining when the iMac didn't have a floppy drive too.)
Ditto.
I remember being swamped with invitations to various Facebook groups bemoaning the loss of "Old Facebook", which I remember being a horrible mess. Then again, I log into Facebook only once a week.
As for iGoogle, I don't know what the fuss is all about. Really.
So the tabs have moved to the left. Big fucking deal. I recently did that in Firefox, too; Tree Style Tab is a great extension for surfing on a widescreen.
Oh, yes, the Clock looks a bit less serious, and the Gmail applet has been improved significantly.
Maybe it's because I've used so many different interfaces that I really don't mind small changes like these; maybe if they changed keyboard shortcuts I'd throw a hissy fit, but likely not even then.
There have been 0 completed acts of terrorism in the US since 2001
Fixed that for you. Don't think that 0 attacks on the news is for the terrorists' lack of trying.
I should think that informing the public of a successfully prevented attack increases people's confidence in the new counter-terrorist measures, establishes their necessity, and makes people more willing to suffer additional losses of freedom to increase their perceived security.
No. If there had been any real attempts since 2001, the US and the world would have heard of it.
I've always been amazed by people willing to spend extra money (and significant amounts of it at that) on just a tad faster processor, GPU and whatnot, but then picking a cheapo monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Somehow, I'd rather work on a merely decent configuration with excellent peripherals than on a ultra-fast rig with a $5 keyboard and $2 mouse. Whatever I'm doing, my CPU is mostly idling; my hands on my keyboard are not.
I spent a bunch of money for a Unicomp SpaceSaver keyboard (Model M, for all practical purposes); the shipping and taxes practically doubled the price. I got an MX Revolution from Logitech as a replacement for my defunct MX 1000.
My computer is a single-core configuration that was excellent in its day and age, but is significantly weaker than my year-and-a-half-old MacBook Pro. I don't know when exactly I'll have to get a new keyboard, but I don't expect it to happen in the next decade. And I know I won't be spending a second of that time wondering whether the pressed key took or not.
I mean, if we cut off EVERY black mans left arm when they where born, wouldn't that trickle down genetically eventually (honest question, only using blaq mang as a word, not racially.... Change it to chinese, Japanese, American, Caucasian, etc to suit your needs).
Cosmetic surgery resonates well because it still means richness, but as it becomes more and more ubiquitous and cheaper, it may become abandoned (substituted with something newer and more expensive/exclusive) as criterion in coming years.
Well, wealth is AFAIK a quality females look for in males; the other way round it is less important.
Furthermore, cosmetic surgery substitutes wealth for other qualities a potential mate might be looking for, and our genes did not program us to discern between real qualities and cosmetic fakes. Herein I see a pitfall.
What I do expect is rise of "genism" (look up GATTACA), presumptuous people will create exclusive closed social clubs of rich AND(/or ?) genetically strong, tested and selected. It is of course a BS idea, as it removes a healthy dose of important variability and diversity out of the game, but it closely follows existing trends.
Ah, well, snobbery is ubiquitous, and at least in certain aspects it is also counterproductive. Then again, it must be useful in some respect. The only question is whether or not the bad sides will outweight the good.
Not to mention that nowadays boys do not regularly become fathers as soon as they start maturing sexually; if anything, the onset of reproduction is moving forward, to mid- or late twenties.
With humans, natural selection has largely (though, of course, not completely) been replaced with sexual selection. Therefore, whatever is deemed sexy is bound to prevail.
I just wonder what kind of effect on evolution will be exacted by cosmetic surgery.
Really, no sarcasm. I have SetPoint installed, of course, but I've never tried setting up mouse buttons especially for Diablo II. And I think that should be possible.
Instead, I've been wasting my time checking which buttons are recognized, which are duplicated, and which look like keyboard.
While this has been modded Funny, I would very much like to know if modern mice will be supported properly.
I don't care if my MX Revolution dies on me; it's still under warranty, and I don't recall a clause saying "Playing Diablo will void and null this warranty". Not that they could prove it anyway.
However, Diablo II doesn't recognize some of the additional buttons on my mouse; I find that a tad annoying.
Yeah... that's better... Nevermind that some of the most brilliant thinkers have been Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc. The point is that you get to be funny.:) Ha.
Yes, you are right. This proves everything.
On a side note, most of the most brilliant thinkers have been men, as in male, i.e. not at all female. What kind of conclusion can you draw from that?

Mmmmmm, body-painting...

Capitalism is man exploiting man; communism is just the opposite. (a rough translation of the ex-Yugoslav version of the saying)
I make lists!
I don't think twitter knows LISP.

Windows is still the best gaming OS.
Can anyone say Homo ludens?
No. Lamarckian inheritance does not work.

Thank you for pointing me to the obvious.

Oh my SCIENCE!

Yes, you are right. This proves everything.
On a side note, most of the most brilliant thinkers have been men, as in male, i.e. not at all female. What kind of conclusion can you draw from that?
But it's accepted by Christians to be like 6000 years old. Seriously. They think that dinosaurs and humans coexisted.
Of course they coexisted. Haven't you ever seen The Flintstones?
Linux: the laptop thief's choice.
Are you trying to start a flame war?
You call THAT a viable alternative to Windows? It doesn't even work with my wireless card! :)
Maybe not, but it does work with smoke signals. I have a 33.6 kbps connection using just Linux and smoke signals.
Beat that, Microsoft!
2. The word is not a misspelling as much as it is a thinko.
So that's what it's called in English... I always called it lapsus cerebri.
The way I see it if you want Mac OS you should be more than happy to fork out the extra cash for one...
And frankly, I've never regretted the extra cash I forked out for my MBP.
I consider myself converted.
You can buy a boxed version of Leopard anywhere. Sure, their EULA forbids one from installing in anything that is not Apple hardware.
Wasn't that "Apple-branded hardware"?
And they do give you those quaint stickers you can use to brand any piece of hardware...
but what a group of asshats.
Errm... isn't it "a bunch of asshats" ?
Well, it should be either a crapload or a hatful...
Now I am horribly reminded of the seven deadly sins.
Please, keep the cake. It is probably a lie anyway.
