Heh, it’s hardly a war anyway. They won the war, then stopped all active development of IE and allowed the competitors who remained on the market to surpass them. Now they are playing catch-up. And it’s a good thing. Any development and competition on the browser market is good.

I just hope that one day IE will actually support the W3C specs at least as well as Firefox does, and that firefox will be able to pass the Acid2 test like Opera does.

I’m a Firefox user myself, but I’m envious of Opera’s awesum W3C compliance.

Thanks mucho for the tipola. Apparently despite all the praises of the M$ haters, the Mozilla developers missed a gaping hole. You have to be able to maintain optional features. As a ‘used-to-be-developer/architect’ this has been buggin’ me for a while. I distinctly remember building these apparati in my prior life, even if the were not always the most elegant constructs.

I’m kinda neutral in this war, and can’t see why Bill & Co, could not have seen this (spell-checker) as a ’should-have’.

Here’s an MDSN link about that

Thanks again. I’ve been getting mighty sick of ’soem’ & ’soemthing’ passing muster - hahahaha.

should a person on twitter be called a twitwit?

and this is a wonderfully helpful tip if you’re like me and sometimes have spastic mouse control moments.

Also, a quick way to get to “Application Data” folder on Windows is, in Start menu > Run, to type in “%appdata%”. I use it often to save time.

Heh, this kinda looks like a windows path with all those upper case letters (gasp!) and spaces (double gasp!).

I kinda want to get one of those new dual core MacBooks and learn more about OSX, but I always figured that once you drop down to the shell, and look past the pretty desktop environment it would drive more or less like BSD.

So I’m guessing they did fuck with the file system structure no?

Anyways, thanks for the tip!

For example,
“~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[*****].default/persdict.dat”
