THIS JUST IN...

...from News Central: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL DEAD.

I guess I should be grateful. I can liken the situation to an African savannah ecosystem: those of us on non-IE browsers are the gazelles--swift, hard to bring down, but still somewhat vulnerable to attack. However, we're protected by the sheer numbers of IE users (the bushpigs)--slow, relatively defenseless, easy to bring down and who exist in such ubiquitous quantities and are such easy targets that the predators would really rather prey on them than have to expend some actual energy to go after us (and end up having a much, much higher failure rate as a result). If you're the malware author (lion) in this ecosystem, all you have to do is run up to the bushpig in a threatening manner and it will immediately flop over dead of cardiac arrest. You don't even have to chase it very hard, it's that vulnerable to attack. In fact, Bushpig Version 4 and newer will, in a panic, pick up an apple in its mouth and jump into a fire for the predator. Biologists call this an "unintended genotypical
feature" and claim that it will all be straightened out when Trustworthy Savannah is brought to fruition, early in the first quarter of the next geological epoch.
