First, why does market share make any difference at all? I'm not going to use IE ever and no amount of statistics is going to change that.

However, when companies and governments provide products and services they will always target the most popular browsers and they will most definitely include the version number, and that will go on the side of the box.

These figures now mean that I, with my firefox 3.5, will be given the best and earliest consideration when services are provided, followed by those using IE8 - so for instance when I go to buy some thing off a website, my experience will work, while those using IE6 (bless!) will have to suffer (Mwahahahahahaha!!!)

The total figures are just for fanboys who want to claim Microsoft is better than Linux or vice versa or whatever. Good luck to them, I'd rather have stuff that works.

How can you possibly predict that next year will be 2010?

I quit 4 years, 3 months, 9 days, 7 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds ago.

And I don't miss them at all.

I must be misunderstanding you...

You seem to be suggesting that someone with no self-esteem is worse off than someone who is the deceased victim of some deranged Thomas Harris-styled lunatic serial killer?

That's really going to help raise their opinion of themselves.

This was extremely useful in the 1980s when certain television channels were available from Sweden and Holland but only in a scrambled form.

Hang on, I read that wrong:

"National Satiety Alert System".

I thought it was something else. My bad.

Red, definitely Red.

Can't I have both?

That's disgusting.

I know this is petty - but what the heck.

CajunArson, what hope is there for me reading 20 odd points of a complicated patent application, when you can't even read 9 characters of a user name?

...because I couldn't bothered reading all that shit.

Agree with your executives what your mission is: security, stability, reliability, user friendliness, whatever...

Then the reports you need are those that demonstrate how well you are fulfilling you mission. Anything else is just extraneous BS.

I know that they've been around for so long that the mistake is easily made - but you are aware that the Simpsons is only a cartoon?

Well, fair's fair... I doubt he tastes good either, why should we care about him? He just wants to get out his shotgun and start hunting these poor creatures.

Equal treatment for Jellyfish NOW!!! We need naked models to raise awareness of this issue!

Channel 4 is a British broadcasting corporation, is it not?

It's not the British Broadcasting Corporation granted - but the definite article was not included in the tag.

Two African swallows with a piece of string between them... maybe.
