But that would be admitting defeat with IE, so I wouldn't look for that to happen. Besides, where would we all be if we couldn't bi73# and moan about MS not being able to make a worthwhile browser?:)
hey, the government is just worried that scary e-terrorists that don't know how to download the software for free will break into the dept. of homeland security and compromise the sensitive windows 95 network they've got running.... i, for one, feel safer already.
hahahaha! that's good!:) i don't need *excuses* to know my species is more intelligent than chimps. Intelligence isn't a value judgement, it's just a quantitative measure. Like...jumping ability...or speed. i wasn't even *trying* to say my SPECIES is better or worse than chimps, but I for damn sure don't mind saying it's more intelligent. but thanks, it was worth a good chuckle!:)
the people i tend to find most intelligent when i am trying to teach them something are those who notice all the little details of how i do whatever i'm doing...of course, those intelligent people also generally figure out the reason behind the different steps i take to a solution...but the first step is noticing. i'd speculate that the chimps don't even notice all those extra steps they're being shown....
though not surprised by the large number of/.ers on this topic whose comments are so Google-worshipping. Google has done some very good things, but I think people should give Yahoo a little credit for having come out with a very large number of services, often beating others (including Google) to the web with that service. Maybe, just *maybe*, that's being reflected a *little* in these numbers? I'm not trying to flame Google, or say Yahoo is the bee's knees (god i feel old), but I certainly think that Yahoo deserves a little more credit than people give it. Google has all these great tools, most of which I've been using courtesy of Yahoo long before Google offered them. No, numbers != quality necessarily, but "Google" does not automatically equal "best" or "quality" either. Of all people, we, the people here ought to be most interested in choosing a toolset for its quality, not the press it gets, or the company that makes it.
I think the US should follow suit. Otherwise we risk losing out to Mexico as the market leader in the burgeoning field cybernetic medical care. I know we'll all feel very sheepish when Astroboy is going to Guadalajara for his dialysis....
mmm, well, yes, but then i have to give up the all the nice screen real-estate that "remove" frees up. I'm guessing changing it to do what I want wouldn't be *too* difficult...
I love adblock. I am also aware that it might be taking some revenues from sites I actually would like to support.... What I'd *really* like to see is an adblock that loads all the content from the web (yeah, bandwidth schmandwith...) but still removes it from the page. I simply don't want to see it, but I'd be fine if the browser downloaded it so the site got credit for my visiting.... 'Course, I'm not motivated enough to develop that on my own, but if *I* had a website that was supported by ad revenue, I'd be right there releasing the new adblock which does just that.... Hell, I'd even make it load random links from the ads in the background so I could get some click-throughs for my site....
I agree with the rest of the folks...there would be a lot less demand for adblock if doubleclick wasn't pushing ads on us that talk and cover up the page you are trying to look at when you accidentally mouse over them.... And those nifty floating ads that float around on top of the page you're trying to look at? Yeah, I love those too.... Banner ads these days remind me of the AOL commercial on TV these days... "Click here and you're a winner! Click here and [blah blah blah blah...]!"

i look around the office, and i hope, and pray, that no one here uses Opera....

Apparently you've never had a huge, regal, rhinestone throne in your den. It takes a very creative story to avoid the nerd label....
