Now playing: Does Renting Books Really Save You Money?

The Lord of the Rings, and a Christmas coded browsing

18 Dec

  

Merry Christmas everyone. Finally, I am on holiday break from today, or tonight.

I will be going to see Lord of the Rings – Return of the King around midnight.

It has been one the most hectic and busiest day of this whole year today, so far. The computers at the library nearby seem to prohibit you from opening any Word document, which is strange. Most of them have “special” computers which only have Microsoft Word on them. Maybe they want you to focus on writing instead of browsing. Speaking of which, Microsoft Office Online gives you the following nice warning.

Is it not better to write standards compliant code instead of making users download additional software? I am using Mozilla Firebird at the moment along with Internet Explorer for sites like above which do not display some dialog boxes among other things in other browsers.
