On this day in 1990 2 Live Crew was acquitted of obscenity charges in Fort Lauderdale. Of course that was back when Jack Thompson thought it was rap music that was destroying society, not video games. Time flies when you're tilting at windmills.

Re: IE 7

Jim

anyone load it yet?

I downloaded at on my home PC to do some testing. Don't want to trash IE6 at work yet because we'll still need it for the time being.

Turns out MS is going to auto install it as part of an update so we're going to have to patch (about 200 copies of) our CMS running on the live server to avoid interruption of service to our customers that may be using IE. No biggie though- I'm more happy that MS is "forcing" users to upgrade to IE7. IE 6 is so old and so much shit just doesn't work with it in terms of standards support. Alpha PNG is going to be a big one.
