My friend and I used to dumpster dive at Commodore Business Machines in San Jose. One day we were caught by the security guard and brought into his office, where, of all things, he called Jack Tramiel[^]. Mind you, this was now around 9 or 10 at night. Jack told him to help us load our loot into our car.

It actually does XML rendering better than IE. Or maybe just for me.
I have FireFox, but that doesn't mean I want a built-in MS product to die even if I don't need it. If MS decides to take it out, that's a separate matter entirely.

It's too bad so many web sites don't have XML in them.

I think my definition of "bad" must be out of date.

I gave up on Edge within a few days. It's full of bugs. I'll try it again in a year or so.

We should try and catch them. But finally I think this is an exceptional display of animals.

My ex-wife would shed considerable tonnage if the fumigators could find a tent large enough to cover her.

Stunning images, thanks.

Depends on your definition of die. They got lower scores because of rule bending and subsequently came second overall when expected to win. So it did kinda kill them.
