IE doesn't work.

sure it does

If your IE doesn't work, it's not up to date

Old IE is not a browser. New IE is still not a browser.

Have you tried running html5test on it?

Your browser scores 376 out of 555 points

it's not far from firefox actually

bjb568

Huh… when I tried running it on the… whatever class computational device that was in the MS store it was more like 120…

But anyway 376 is pretty bad.

I don't really like FF either.

Its rendering engine is crap.

Braiam

Yes, Chrome is the best browser in terms of features. But I hate everything google so I use Safari.

I like Google

bjb568

DDG and Apple!

3ventic

and if you think IE is a joke, you've never used Safari on Windows

I'm not sure it's even good enough to qualify as a joke

I need to retrain my muscle memory... almost every time I want to flag as rec-tool, I point to the 5th option :/

@JanDvorak I don't hunt in packs

sometimes, it looks like we are also in a competition of fastest gun in the west, trying to flag a post from link posted here, before it is closed by other users, but it is good :)

Why do they even think this practice is bad? The fact that we're doing this shows that someone has to do it. Think of what happens when we don't.

imagines of era, when humanity is destroyed by spams and bad questions

Unihedron

It's not like we're paid to clean up this place, we could just walk away if we wanted to or something. But closing is there for a decent reason, and being quick to close bad questions isn't really discouraged, and chat rooms were tagged as a "communication" privilege because, duh, it's communication.

@JanDvorak: saying cv-pls is extremely impolite and rude to the OP. Remember that they are supporting this site. Write something like this instead:

> Please consider this post for review. Make sure to read the post fully, support the OP whenever you can and always remember the golden rule: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all". I recommend you to look at this question carefully and always follow your own judgement.

Unihedron

@Qantas94Heavy After we use that golden template for several times, everyone else will just ignore it, much like "I agree to the terms".

Andrew T.

@Unihedron why "the terms" is hyperlinked to nowhere?! Edit: oh, about:blank

@Qantas94Heavy you are right. But don't write that every single time. After a while we know that that's what you mean. So, perhaps replace it with something shorter. I don't know ... cv-pls perhaps?

Infinite Recursion

.....shouting CV is shorter

Unihedron

If explicitly asking for a question to be closed or nuked is bad, and "review-pls" seems more definitive, then we can go with that; But from what I've seen on the MSO discussion, [cv-pls] is definitive and stands out from raw text. While it's true that it's better to guide the OP to fix his question, not really that many questions gets fixed by leaving a comment for OP to review.

New solution: Use [review-pls] and keep a folder in your bookmarks to monitor if they are fixed after two days. If not, [cv-pls].

@InfiniteRecursion Meh, too many efforts.

Unihedron

@AndrewT. That's an implied joke that no one really clicks on the terms to realize whether it leads to the blank page.

Infinite Recursion

everybody is missing your jokes today @uni, upgrade your sense of humor!

@Unihedron surprisingly, FireFox doesn't show any link on hover, and it doesn't open new window/tab on click, so I thought it was... magic

Infinite Recursion

@AndrewT. not magic, tragic

Be right back, going to make dinner so I actually have something to eat tonight. Hopefully I'll be back before Jan leaves to watch the skies.
