I'm trying out the "Pale Moon" browser. It's based on Firefox, but has a 64 bit version if your computer can handle it (last I checked, Firefox was only 32 bit).
So far, it seems to handle graphical things better, like the animation of this weather radar and satellite image.
It doesn't have the native OpenH264 codec like Firefox does though, so the speed of Youtube videos can't be adjusted.

Until the cat hears food hit the dish and then she will scatter the pen as she heads for food, plus knock over a few other thing on the way.

I haven't seen anything exactly like this around here yet (closest I've seen was a Chevy Astro van body on a M113 chassis):

Re: The random thought thread

There once was a woman who had a pet snake that she loved very much. The snake was about 7 feet long and one day it just stopped eating. After several weeks of trying everything she could to get the snake to eat, the woman took it to the vet.
The woman explained the situation to the vet and he asked her, "Has your snake been sleeping with you at night or snuggling really close and stretching himself out?" The woman replied, "Yes he's been doing it everyday and it makes me so sad that I can't help him feel better."
The vet says "Ma'am your snake is not sick, he has been preparing to eat you. He's been sizing you up everyday so he knows how big he has to be, and not eating so he has enough room to digest you.
Moral of the story: You've gotta recognize the snakes out there. Just because they seem close to you and sleep in your bed, it doesn't mean their intentions are good.

And, for a few days I have not had a 'redirect' on my IpadMini for a couple days!
Kudos to Anerisum. ( I hope I don't have to retract this).

I've isolated quite a few PUPs lately, hopefully not riding in on Copytechnet webpages. =^..^=
