World Peace

You know what would be awesome?

If the muslims and the jews learned to be best friends.

How do we do this? Beats me. I can't figure it out.

IE7 Needs to Be Shot

Internet Explorer is the worst browser I have ever used. I'm a full time Mozilla user and I'm extremely happy with it. Mozilla is awesome. Explorer always has alert boxes. I hate that. I turn on IE7 and get a pop up "Do You Want The Phishing Filter On?" I can't do anything until I decide. I pressed "No" last time. Why the heck can't it remember that I selected "No" and I don't want that feature on? It gives me a security warning when I try to search on Google. It asks me whether I want to send "Abraham Lincoln" to Google, because the words Abraham Lincoln can somehow threaten my security. IE7 always has an alert box that pop ups asking me if I want some feature turned on or it claims that there is some non-existant security threat with some harmless thing and it gets annoying. Doing anything in IE7 is painful. Also, when I try to copy and paste something from one part of IE7 to another, I get yet another security alert.

And word is a Piece of crap too. It doesn't have the margin control that Correl has. It has a complicated tab feature, and the default margins are 1.25." 1.25"? Seriously, no one uses 1.25" margines. APA doesn't. MLA doesn't. Common letter formats don't. The military Tongue and Quill doesn't. 1" margins or else Microsoft! The smart tag system is annoying, the squiggles underneath misspelled words are annoying and are on by default. I don't need to see spelling errors as I type, thats why I spellcheck at the end. Correl allows me to turn off this feature permenantly. And god help me if I try to unlink a URL in a paper. Grammer Check is a piece of crap too. 50% of the time it gives me an error in a sentence that is actually gramatically correct, but the program is too stupid to realize that the word is a friggin synonym.

Microsoft's operating system is good, but its two most popular products leave quite a bit to be desired.
