I mean I turn on my brand new computer, connect it to the internet and the first thing I do is open Internet explorer. ANd from there I was able to go to Mozilla and Download Firefox.
Had Internet Explorer not been there for me, I'd be completely Firefox-less right now.
Thank you Internet Explorer.
I usually use ubuntu so i don't have this kind of problem :P
ubuntu is everywhere now.
IE is ugly. I don't remember how it went as far as functionality, but it's ugly.
I use Internet Explorer o.o
I'm using Chrome since got my new setup. IK like it but I like Firefox's add ons
This is because it is clearly superior. As evinced by the fact that it cannot run Internet Explorer.Quote:

Haven't you heard? Ubuntu has ceased to be hip and trendy on the internet. They're letting just anybody use it these days.
Hip and trendy went out years ago, iirc.
I have no idea what I'm talking about but I saved a bunch of money by saving mozilla firebox to my d drive
If I was being forced to use Linux, I'd go with Ubuntu. I like being able to use my computer and install stuff without a fight though. Windows is lazy friendly. :heart:
I'm at work using IE6 right now actually. It's so much faster than Firefox, which I use at home. I'm not kidding, it really is. :p
I see what you did there.
You maybe could have FTP'd the Mozilla site with windows explorer. Maybe
With Linux, you don't need a browser to download a different browser. You can do it from the command-line with wget.
Yeah, Windows sucks too, but I'm far too lazy for Linux. Even Unne told me that I was probably better off with Windows.
However, IE is terrible.
Does your work hate you?Quote:

This is what happens when BA courses don't teach anything IT-related (or anything realworld-related for that matter) beyond basic Word and Excel skills.
ahahahahahahahaha! What funny joke, comrad.Quote:

Yes. They refuse to allow any other browser on their systems other than IE6 because they are convinced that you are more likely to get viruses via anything newer than IE6.Quote:

LOOK AT ALL THE SHEEPLE USING INTERNET EXPLORER
BEHOLD YOUR GENETIC SUPERIOR FOR I USE FIREFOX
*DOWNLOADS RAPE ANIMES*
I use IE8 at work and Firefox at home and they're basically the same smurfing thing. Anyone who tells themselves differently has a very large inferiority complex. The end.
AhahahahahaQuote:

Windows ME is the bane of my existance, it is a virus upon humanity. It is the scum of the earh and I want it to die!
Not only can I not down grade it to Windows 98, I can't upgrade it to Windows XP either because it blocks it!!!
Then of course I thought, I know, Linux is the cure, and it all seemed to be going well and then ME blocked the install as an 'Invalid procedure'
*Insert so much profound lanuage here that it fills 2 trillion gigs of space*
Is what i think of ME *Spits on it*
Just opened up IE for old times sake.. and what do you know? It crashes with an error!
just how exactly would ME block your Linux install?Quote:

IE's new one might bring it back on the throne, but currently Chrome continues to rise stealing it's customers, and Firefox maintains it's same numbers with no drop or climb. But unless something changes Chrome will climb beyond Firefox in a year or two, and IE will crumble below 10% with the rest of them.
I quite agree, it is fun. From now on Raistlin, all your EoEO posts must contain insults of this nature. Any logical fallacy crap will see you EoEO banned. I encourage everybody to report to me when he breaches these rules. I am deadly serious.
I use... Safari.
Hmm.
I've always wanted to go on Safari... Did you see any cool animals while you were there?Quote:

The world has only benefited!
(You have so much to choose from now; IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and those are just the major names!
Life is better now, whether you admit it or not :), and it's thanks to the rabid fanboys that you've disparaged so~)

which also means in the near future I will have to find some new brand or laptop model to be hip with. When I bought my MBP I was like one in a select few and now they keep popping up everywhere I look. It's like the smurfing Blackberry all over again. Why couldn't the masses just stay dumb and stick to the cheap white model instead of having to go Pro >:/
I, for one, am actively encouraging Grandma Farmvilles to buy MacBooks on a regular basis.
If Gates and Ballmer don't like it, they can bloody well fix their :bou::bou::bou::bou:.
QED.
Grandma Farmville is incredibly ignorant.Quote:

Little known fact, Internet Explorer has the ability to, if you play your cards right, morph into a very interesting multi-cellular organism.
What you have to do, is first, go file > save page as. Once you have saved the page, edit it with any form of editing software you have, and change the text in the address bar to "MORPH MY MIGHTY MORPHIN' IE"
Then save it. Sit back and gaze in astonishment at your creation morphing all over the place. Don't thank me, your satisfaction is my reward. :heart:
