The fuck? IE was absolutely dogs hit performance wise not to mention their non standard support of Javascript (JScript) was horrible. To accommodate IE you needed VBScript to perform well so basically a whole different site.

Netscape was always better but once they shoved IE on everyone you were left with doing 2 sites for a smaller percentage. Most corps flat out wanted IE only and VBScript / ASP and cut out the Javascript. Even then you sometimes had to do things ass backwards to make it work on IE.

Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small?

Is it really? People get popped for 0.00 and the cops just say they must be on drugs. After spending thousands in lawyer and court costs it gets dropped but you already went through the same (or worse) bullshit than if you were actually shitfaced.

Meanwhile cops drive drunk all the time.

Word of warning. In MS and AL a lot of the landscaping is done by the sheriff's relatives who use trustees for a pittance. If you cut into their profits be prepared to get harassed by the local sheriff department.

Went through this shit when my roommate started landscaping. Our house got raided 3x and I got 5 tickets on made up bullshit just because I lived at a marked house.
