When the destination is the wastebasket, IE6 is definitely faster! jb4 "Every Repbulican who wants to defend Bush on [the expansion of Presidential powers], should be forced to say, 'I wouldn't hesitate to see President Hillary Rodham Clinton have the same authority'." &mdash an unidentified letter writer to Newsweek on the expansion of executive powers under the Bush administration

Actually, even better would be Firefox on Linux/OSX versus IE on Windows. When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your* security they're talking about.*
