| 310275 | 2005-01-03 18:44:00 | I use both FF and IE, because FireFox cannot render many sites I visit, and before people start saying I should continually write to webmasters to get them to re-write their pages to suit FF, well that is not very sensible, in fact stupid, you cant change the whole world, neither can I be bothered. For instance, I just had an email from Amazon UK about an item I have on back order, with a link to click to extend the time period. Though I have FF as my default it would not work. I had to copy and paste the link into IE, then Amazon recognised me. It just has to be recognised that many people prefer IE, and that it does what they want. |

If you are going to get on a soapbox to promote IE, it is only reasonable to detail why you prefer it. And do you also use Outlook for email? There is very good reason to advise others to dump IE, for all of the problems with 'infections'. On the other hand, MMM, I do admire your courage ;) to step forward and promote a Bill Gates product. You wouldn't happen to feed lions at the zoo, would you? :p |

I have no intention of justifying my choices to you or anybody else, and I don't give a rats behind what you or anybody else prefers . The situation is quite different if a member asks for advice, guidance or recommendations when choosing software and then you can let your experience or prejudices hang out . Just because this is PF1 Chat doesn't mean that you or any other person posting belittling or offensive replies (not even those with a gross non sequitur as their signature) can simply ignore good manners and respect for the views of others .

Nothing wrong with good practical advice, calm down and relax . |

| 310284 | 2005-01-03 21:56:00 | Is there any objective truth? Or must we finally accept that at bottom, in the end, philosophically speaking, there is no "real" or "objective" or "absolute" or "foundational" or "fact of the matter" or "right answer" truth about anything, that even our most confident convictions about what happened in the past or what the universe is made of or who we are or what is beautiful or if O/E is best are just our convictions, just conventions, just ideology, just badges of power, just the rules of the language games we choose to play, just the product of our irrepressible disposition to deceive ourselves that we have discovered out there in some external, objective, timeless, mind-independent, world what we have actually invented ourselves, out of instinct, imagination and culture? If we want a good example of objectivity,then ;) have to look no further than BT and M |
