Amidus Drexel's Alliterative and Awe-Accentuating Anvil of Random Banter CLXXXVI

YouTube will not function properly on Google Chrome for me... So I'm running Firefox as well.
Damn you Google, this is exceedingly impractical!

Huh. Youtube works fine on Chrome for me, but often fails on Explorer.

[Amidus Drexel]

Basic HTML often fails on IE.

I giggled WAY more than I should have at this.

[Mynxae]

Well, I am available now perhaps mostly. Which is only 8, by your calander. So you ARE 14 hours ahead.
Well, we could do a game now and see if Myxie awakens. I wish to see a real Starcraft player play.

Thats coolish weird.

I couldn't get to sleep till 3am. Damn nightmares...

Unfortunately, we cannot as I have taken sanctuary in the air conditioning, and this computer does not have Starcraft II on it.
And what's all this business about me being a real Starcraft player? Just because I've played the original for as long as I can remember does not mean I'm good at it.

Yes. It is an interesting fact. And very cool.

You need to go a Pedestal Fan. >.< I have and it's great!

I'm up for a game now. Even though I may be a bit late in saying that. /sigh

[Dimonite]

I know them feels well. If you need to talk, know that your subconscious cannot possibly scare me more than my own.

The pair of you are making Internet Explorer cry. Shame on you!
How can you do that to such a nice pony?

Oh dear... What were they of?

I have a pedestal fan. It's in my room so I can sleep and I am not carrying it up and down the stairs every day.
And yes, you are late in saying that. Mostly because I'm now busy.

[DraPrime]

Hooray! Boarding for my flight to Warsaw begins in a few minutes. I get to see my family again and go to a country that actually has proper sausage. It will be a good time.

Well, this it what I see when someone mentions IE.

You're from Poland? Interesting.

Sorry but...

Oh my.

Is there a Sheepie or Nibbles about?

[Mutant Sheep]

... Myx.... Every man of Polish descent in America (Not Europe, though) is tired of "Polish Sausage" jokes. Shush. They got old in 6th grade. And also, shushikens.

I be aboo't. Dunno if I should, though.

[Mynxae]

Too late for a StarCraft 2 game or are you feeling baaaaaad?

Warsaw is in Poland?

Hey, some of my great-grandparents were Polish immigrants, and I find those jokes at least moderately hilarious. It depends on how well they were done.

Warsaw is in Poland?

It is. In fact, it's the capitol of Poland.

[Mynxae]

Huh. Well I'll be damned.

*Baaaah-d. I can do a game or two, Myxes.

.... Yes. It is the capital. I keep forgetting that being a child from Chicago, I have been subject to a greater amount of Polish people running around with family back in the Old Country. Silly aussies.

Well hey, whenever I think of Chicago I think of the musical.

There's actually nothing wrong with the latest versions of IE. Just make sure to keep it up to date, as you should any browser.

I agree with this. I use IE

I hate IE with a passion 'cause just in general, no matter what I do, or how updated it is, it always runs slow and crappily for me.

[Amidus Drexel]

That really goes for any browser. I just prefer Firefox (and IE is easy to pick on).

[Rawhide]

And there is the crux of the issue. It's picked on because it's seen as an "easy target", not because there's anything particularly wrong with it.

Don't even get me started on everything wrong with Firefox...

[MoonCat]

Today, my History teacher rode a chariot that one of my classmates made down the hallway during fifth period.

I love my school.

Well, it certainly crashes more often (although that's probably because I haven't updated it in a while). It's faster, though, and I can deal with it crashing every once in a while if I don't have to wait a long time for sites to load. (and, unlike IE, when Firefox crashes, it reopens all of my tabs, instead of bringing me back to my homepage)

Awesome!

[Qwertystop]

No mention of Safari?

[Amidus Drexel]

No mention of Safari?

No. None of that, now.

I'm surprised Chrome hasn't been brought up yet, actually.

(and, unlike IE, when Firefox crashes, it reopens all of my tabs, instead of bringing me back to my homepage)

It's not actually all that faster, and I don't know what you're doing wrong with IE, but when my IE crashes it brings up a "restore tabs (and windows)" page.

No. None of that, now.

I'm surprised Chrome hasn't been brought up yet, actually.

Chrome is worse.

[Mynxae]

Chrome is awesome.

With all due respect:
...In what universe?!?

Chrome is faster, less likely to get viruses, and has better features than IE. I prefer Firefox for some specific uses, but overall I use Chrome.

[Rawhide]

Chrome is awesome.

Except for all the dodgey practices, the fact that it cannot be installed correctly, and the tracking.

Ditch that horrible thing and get Iron.

Agreed. It's a nice browser besides the whole "Google is watching" stuff, though.

How much different from Chrome is Iron?

[Rawhide]

Pretty much identical, minus tracking and some other minor things. My only gripe is that I feel they went one step too far with removing things when they removed automatic updates. It should ask you for permission when you install to do automatic updates, and default to "check, but ask for permission to download and install".

less likely to get viruses

That's a complete myth. No major browser is more secure than any other. Just keep them all up to date (and don't make me dump sources on you ).
