What can you tell by what browser a person uses?
Bah!
I will accept this, though:
The report suggests that people using Explorer, the built-in, default browser for Windows-based computers, may be more resistant to change.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Which is pretty resistant to change.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Or dependent on someplace institutional (public library, school, community college, senior center...) as the only place in their lives with access to the internets.
On its own merits as a browser, I hate IE as much as the next web dev, but I've been seeing that link all over the place today with a pretty hefty dose of "HAR I TOLD YOU THEY'RE STUPID WE HATES THEM!" and thinking about how both digital divides and IQ scores correlate awfully strongly with privilege or disadvantage.
OH HAI MY KNEEJERK LET ME SHOW YOU IT

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"HAR I TOLD YOU THEY'RE STUPID WE HATES THEM!"
I'm not saying they're stupid. I'm saying I'm genius.

Of course you are, Opera Lady! Just having a little twitch at some of the deeply user-blaming responses I've been seeing elsewhere to the same link.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Health ~ma to Maria's DH, LeN and toddson.
In completely random news, I just painted my toenails. Green and sparkly.(My Favorite Martian from Confetti- how could I resist?)

My doctor actually announced a diagnosis of diabetes as good news. She said, given you eyesight symptoms, another possibility could have been MS.
At least it wasn't the funny syphilis.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much ~ma to you and your DH, Maria.
le nubian, sorry for the scary diagnosis. I'm glad there are so many around you who can help steer you right.
Trying to discuss politics these days, I lose all my words and degenerate into teeth-gnashing and screeching. It's best I don't engage the subject. Seriously, I can't take the outrage overload anymore.

Man, the alarms went off and I turned on the radio and eventually a dj broke into the program to say that funnel clouds have been sighted . . . but it's bright and sunny. Weather channel says that there are funnel clouds developing in conjunction with cumulous clouds but that they probably won't touch the surface.
Very weird.
