it's not really a personal preference thing. In this situation using a try catch is plain ignorant. A personal preference would be that I like to structure my code like so:
var usingActiveXObject = false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
this.xmlHttpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
usingActiveXObject = true;
this.xmlHttpRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
else
{
throw "Connect failed: Cannot create XMLHttpRequest.";
}
It's not really/the wrong way/ of doing things because some people just like it that way. Using a try catch where you're expecting to hit the catch upwards of 25% of the time is bad design. The author may have known this and just wanted to make it look worse then it really is (also likely the reason for the comments).
last I checked leaving firefox open for a couple days was a million times worse then leaving ie open for a couple days. Also, you can, you know, use the rest of your computer with ie open as opposed to constantly getting "OMGZ IM OUT OF MEMORY BECAUSE FIREFOX IS RAPING ME" error messages.
yeah, if you don't put comments in your html ie explodes. also if you format your code correctly ie will explode. oh wait no, that's just you being a fucking retard.
the american public cannot handle perscription drugs as it is, adding more drugs, regardless of what they are (as long as they impair brain function) is not a good idea. Can some people handle pot? sure. Can the american public in general? hell no.
awesome, I didn't buy from best buy but after I had camped out at frys for 4 hours and then they tell us they're going to make us buy the bundles.. I was less then excited in any case. I ended up paying like 700 or 800 for the package when I was planning to spend around 500.
granted books are probably more fulfilling, which do you/really/ think the public is going to choose? Personally I'm not going to pay 400bucks (+ whatever the book fee is) for a couple books I might read.
I'd be suprised if they put messenger in considering that communicator is basicly messenger only cooler for a corporate environment. If they really want PC-POTS I'd bet they stick it into communicator instead of putting in a whole other messenger service.
seems I had it set to HTML Formatted and not Plain Old Text so my returns weren't in my post. The comment about craigslist wasn't referring to you. I suppose I should have posted "internal only" in reply to you and the rest in a different post.
The point is that microsoft made tabs easier to use. I've user firefox for a year or two and never used tabs before I installed ie7. They autotab things and stick a little "create new tab" button next to your current tab which make it more intuitive then some random shortcut.
It's an internal thing only atm. Will be released to the public at a later date. Also, in this specific respect microsoft is not copying google base. This has been in development for some time not to mention the fact that like other's have pointed out - it's more like craigslist.
In microsoft's defense, they take things that have been done and tailor it to meet the specific likings of the general public. Craigslist has kind of a crappy design and Fremont fixes that flaw and will likely fix others that I can't think of.

indeed, we should get a machine to monitor us for us.

I give it two hours before somebody tries this and posts results. *starts stopwatch*

Everybody says this but tell me the last time you saw a real BSOD on an xp box that was up to date.
