yeah, i heard baxter liked IE. He also invested heavily in buggy whips when Henry Ford started his little company. Rumor has it that the Baxter houshold might be getting electric lighting AND indoor plumbing.

I don't know what baxter is going to do with all his spare time he will gain by not having to trim the wicks on the oil lamps and running out and back to the outhouse on those cold Canuck nights. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Grease monkey rocks. I have a little script that modifies my view of Immz avatar! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Umm, IE is still the standard, and will be for decades. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Anyway I do have FF installed for over a year. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

(and yes, bunny's script was installed many moons ago)

As for security leaks, I've never once in the history of personal computing every had an issue.

Using the IE and the word Standard in the same sentence is like putting matter and anti-matter together.

Believe me, when it does go boom in your face, you'll regret it. The important thing in personal computing is that your data will go boom when you least expect it. Using IE is like storing TNT with your data. And smoking there.

You mean like smoking crack where the TNT is stored, eh?

Thank you for your kind words.

I will be adding some features to this, notably a kill/eject ration with figures after the comma, and a win/loss percentage.

Also, i find that the actual position on the leaderboard isn't a very useful stat, since it varies whenever a higher ranked player returns from a seven-day absence.

Cort gave me some heat over not having posted this in misc dev. In order to avoid the botmaker's wrath, updates will be posted there.

I'm happy to hear people are using this. Please PM me any suggestions you might have.

Again, thanks for the kudos.

No worries JB. It is cool to be "anti". What nobody realize is that FF or Linux most important strenght were that nobody was writing viruses or something else for it, cause "standards" provide a better platform to get things spread out.
Since FF has become so popular they also had heavy troubles with their security (cause now hackers got interested) and until FF 2.0 IE was just better no matter what anybody is saying. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
