Who still uses IE6? I've always wondered that...
- Thomas
lol
- Carlos Urrutia
Corporate users who have no choice may still be on 6.
- Dave Friedel
they have a choice: resign
- Mark
Yeah, give up benefits, have the house foreclosed on... but use Firefox! LOL.
- Dave Friedel
If I recall I think IE6 is without tabs? Imagine the horror, seriously.
- Mark
In some cases, internal applications were written to work with crappy IE5 or 6, and don't work right with anything newer. Some companies hold back upgrades due to the cost of modernizing the applications. My personal favorite is Firefox, but it doesn't work with Active Directory security for internal apps on a Microsoft network.
- Dave Friedel
Yeah, that's the excuse we were always fed in web scripting classes - that they haven't moved due to internal websites and whatnot - but ffs, seriously IE 7 came out 3 years ago!
- Amy
Yep. That's life in large companies. Unfortunately they have the money to employ lots of people... and to put off updating their internal apps. See they don't care that you can't surf some site on the net. Unfortunately it encourages some office workers not to bother upgrading at home either and just be indifferent to browser version. Another argument for Cloud computing.
- Dave Friedel
It also implies that they haven't updated their pcs in FOREVER. These people work in Hell.
- Amy
A little harsh , but true and funny .
- Lisa zahara Hopkins
I've been in the position of trying to justify a six figure upgrade to a set of applications because they only worked on very old versions of IE. Without showing how it makes the company money, saying "people can't see some sites on the Internet" isn't enough to get approval for that much money to be spent on salaries vs other development. This is why I watch Revision3, to know there is a better world outside of multimillion dollar corporate hell.
- Dave Friedel
Excellento - loved the Miles Davis' covers too - our university seems to be locked into IE6 - it's like going back to the dark ages . . .
- Chris Loft
Ha!
- John (bird whisperer)
I know someone who still uses IE6. He upgraded to IE7 and now wants to go back to IE6. Poor deluded guy.
- George Brickner
I gotta be honest, I'm a little hurt. I still use IE6...because I have to because my work won't upgrade because they've put to much money into systems that work with IE6 and I'm stuck with this piece of junk! It makes me cry. :(
- ChiliMac
The madness won't stop until MS stops supporting 6. I hope that happens sooner rather than later.

Will Wolfram Alpha replace thought? I don't know, let me ask Wolfram Alpha.
- Ghworg
Try wolfram alpha for 'blood alcohol' - brings up a nice BAC calculator
- Chris Heath
wolframalpha.com: Cliff from Cheers would have loved this
- Emmanuel Huna
Wolfram|Alpha is good for finding facts about countries, but the maps they use are horribly ugly
- Devon Blugh
Wolfram Alpha does not mean the death of thought, it means the death of research.

@Lasse I feel the same way. I am a courier and try to listen while I drive around all day. It's hard to wait sometimes :D

Just bought a Asus EeePc today and am pleased with it. Takes a little getting used to the smaller keyboard though.

earl, i don't think the atom is powerful enough to play a dvd... maybe it is
- Chris Heath
@devon, drat, I forgot about that. I assume though that his column on himself will mark his retirement.
- A. Karl Kornel
@A. Karl He probably would
- Devon Blugh
I think a dual core anything cpu chip could run a dvd but thats a toss up. @jeffparsons What about the Asus netbook sold you over the other netbooks.
- earl wallace
Atom is plenty powerful enough to play DVDs, my 300MHz PentiumII machine could play them. HD content is another matter.

I thought Molly just said she couldn't make the Mac do what she wanted to. Maybe I misinterpreted.

Hey, you guys are complaining about the size of the latest OS X update... I have a question for you: how big is any given Windows XP (or Vista) Service Pack update? How big are ALL of the hotfixes that come between XP/Vista service packs? Huh? Huh?!

Don't steal music! Simply borrow it without asking and without any intention of returning

Firefox with the DownThemAll extension is perfect for downloading songs and videos embedded in web pages (ummm....I've heard)

oh wait ... if you think downloads from USENET are anon ... you are confused.

torrents you have to upload back to keep a ratio, newsgroups you start downloading at full and never have to upload

your isp can always know what kind of traffic is going thru your pipe

i don't think any downloads are actually anon anymore

newsgroups allow you to use SSL

matthew - if you're using ssl to connect to a newsgroup server, wouldn't that be incriminating (sorta)
- Chris Heath
astraweb allows you to connect using SSL

easynews does too (i think)

and it's only $11 a month for 20 connections and 365 retention

Will someone get Leo to talk about the print media trying to get congress to allow them to form monopolies so they can charge for news? In addition, they want tax dollars, and stricter laws controlling the distribution of FACTS (see Hot News laws).

zephyrlily, blip.fm will soon be limited...http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

zephyrlily: blip may have all the songs you can think of, it certainly doesn't have all those I can think of. About half the songs I searched for on it came up with nothing.

dvorak always has a recipe to give out

Yay! Molly Wood!
- Joey Gibson
Oh, and re: my earlier comment (about 7 up) - the print media also wants to stop search engines from indexing *by force of law* - they stupidly argue that they need this power to hold against search engines, because apparently robots.txt isn't enough for them.
- tollie williams
@Matthew, more of a problem if you're outside the U.S. like the other .fm sites. I haven't been on last.fm yet to compare it yet.

Adding urls to public mp3s will be limited to legitimate bands and labels approved in our systems - this will affect everyone, too many indie bands to contact

Agreed Sam, especially when it comes to the music distribution via iTunes. Maybe that business is still not as large as we think. (?)

Yea I figure online, I doubt that person would tell that to you personally. I think your voice is fine!

Whoever said that has 'issues'. Your voice is congenial and pleasant to listen to. Perhaps they are more comfortable with someone who sounds like Beverly D'Angelo. The one from Entourage not National Lampoon's Vacation.

You were not on American Idol, I guess, so why is somebody complaining about your voice? Which is not unpleasant, if I remember correctly.

Thanks guys, now I feel like I was fishing for compliments! It was more meant like "can't sweat the stuff you can't change." well, I suppose I could do some voice coaching, but who has time for that?? hehe.

I was thinking during yesterday's TWiT that you had a great voice. I would rack this up with the"everyone has a sense of style but not everyone has good taste" sentiments.

nah, you have a great voice.

Ask if he/she prefers the sound of your middle finger instead

I'm more interested in the words and information rather than the pitch of the delivery... which, btw, I have no problem with. Heck, I do a podcast and I sound like a hobo eating a chicken...

I haven't heard your voice and apparently it is just fine, but anyone who does a lot of speaking might benefit from a voice coach consultation...or even listening to a recording of themself if they haven't already.
