I think threadmaster here was talking about using IE as a user, not creating sites/apps. From a user POV, I only care about how a site looks on my computer.

Itanic is not a buggy or bad design. It's just a design without a good market. If you were doing a lot of computation where that last .01% of performance was important and you had the time/budget to write Itanium-specific assembler, you'd love Itanium (64 64-bit registers is nice). It's just solves problems that most people don't have.

To wit, a woman chose not to join a CAL against Honda and took them to small claims court. Instead of $100 and a $1000 credit towards a new Honda, she won $9,867.

I think the OP is pointing out the ritual of class action lawsuits in America. A CAL is filed and won or settled for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Lawyers take 30-50% and the rest is divided over the huge pool in the class, hence often resulting in a few bucks each.

It's a perverted system - as a big company, you are spared having to pay anything of substance to each litigant, yet the overall effect is still big. Lawyers love it because they get rich.

I usually get 2-3 letters or postcards a year informing me that I'm potentially part of a CAL because a had a Mastercard four years ago, or I exchanged foreign currency with company X in 2005, or because I changed flight reservations in 2006, or some other event that I've completely forgotten. Just check boxes A and B and sign on the line, and you get a check for $5-10 in three months, and you can check the status at SomeBigCompanySettlement.com. It's a weird part of modern life.

THAT'S what I was doing wrong. I was doing lather-rinse-repeat, and it was supposed to be rinse-wash-repeat.

Headed back downstairs to the lab...

"Getting by" is OK when you're single or married without kids is one thing. It's not when you have kids, and have to consider their expenses, health care, college, what happens if you die, etc.

He's already demonstrated that he "can", which means he's ineligible to teach.

Interesting. Does that extends down to the source of all the raw materials?

Nowhere do the OP even remotely imply hating women. You are taking an extreme term and using it in an inappropriate context.

Ted Bundy was a misogynist. Someone who says it's manly to stand up for your beliefs is not. Someone who says such a person is a misogynist is either an idiot or trying to impress feminists in freshmen Women's Studies discussion sessions. Given the time to acclimate, I would guess second half of the year...like, say, February
