You should be scared [autocensored]less!

Also look out for:

• Mountain Lions
  
• Bears
  
• Snakes
  
• Yetis
  
• Wolfs Creek Pass
  
• Humanoids
  
• Humanoid-Posing Robots
  
• ABOVE ALL: Coloradians. Or is it Coloraders? Maybe Coloradishers.

I also read something about Zombies.... Do they pose a threat for l33tness?

Zombies are not much of a trouble if you have the Zombie-Defence 3000 pack. It consists of a flashy sticker of the Mac Logo that can be displayed prominently on your backpack. Zombies are no longer threats to worry about!

.... and pyrochildren everywhere. It's a dangerous place.

LOOK! I FOUND one...,

Be VERY afraid...,

I'm not really bothered myself, but not everyone might want to see that picture, perhaps you would like to link it with a warning instead?

[ClockworkDemon 0]

I'm pretty sure it is inside of a museum (as in it's made out of clay), but I guess this is a family forum.

I'm just wondering how EER got a photo of my neighbours kid all the the way from New Zealand ...

Playing with color schemes ...

[BoltBait 3,135]

Wow. The holiday has inspired me to make a photochop.

On the topic of craziness, I've just found a rather amusing Opera advert(?) which likens Hitler to Google Chrome.

It is rather funny and it is family friendly.

This version is sometimes very close to the original German script :O

The creatorsdefinitely knew it beforehand..

[vista? 1]

You mean someone actually kept a transcript of what was said between Hitler and the other men at the time?

[Frontcannon 7]

I don't know about that but I mean the script of the film Der Untergang.

Yes. Vampires and pyrochildren everywhere. It's a dangerous place.

5 days till I fly out there. We'll see if Pyro is telling the truth. 

[pyrochild 351]

You're coming to Colorado? What for?

To see me, of course!

[Sozo 22]

My cousins now live in Loveland, I'm flying in to Denver International to come hang out for a week or so.

I think Microsoft could have used a softer euphemism here

[csm725 8]

The problem is they only test the latest beta of IE9 and not the latest betas of the other browsers.

[Simon Brown 43]

To anyone that has installed the IE9 beta, does it install separately or replace IE8?

[csm725 8]

Seperately.

[Simon Brown 43]

Thanks

The problem is they only test the latest beta of IE9 and not the latest betas of the other browsers.

Doesn't bother me a bit. The fact that IE9 out paces and is more standards-compliant than the most recent stables of other browsers is extremely exciting. The most important aspect of the browser is that it drives developers to support standards quicker, and that makes the internet a better place.

[csm725 8]

It certainly warms my heart to see MS waking up and realizing that Apple and Google are up their (you get the rest...)

I think Win7 and IE9 show that MS care a little more than in the Win2K - XP era.

Still, the problem is, IE9 is just XHTML, HTML5, SVG, CSS, etc. compliant, but if MS concentrate on complying with standards (that all (or most) of all the other browsers already comply by), they cannot add new features. I predict, however, that IE10 will be a serious competitor with Chrome. Opera will run out of innovative ideas and Firefox will rise again. I love Firefox 4 Beta. Nearly driving me away from Chrome...

[Lance McKnight 4]

I'm still going to stick with Firefox. I still can't stand to use IE and I don't like using Chrome. I find Chrome interface to be very ugly and bland. I'm sure there are plently of theme to change the appearance of Chrome.

I'm looking forward to upgrading to Win 7. My wife is already raving about her new desktop at work, and being the skeptic, I'll wait till we have on the computer.
