At some point in time this kind of rubbish will hopefully stop.
Hey, you say rubbish, i say... different.
There is nothing complex about a ASCII document containing the following:
[InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.mozilla.org/products/camino
True. Perhaps 'complex' wasn't the word i intended. I'll recant that and say, "annoying"!
Save the file with a descriptive name ending with .url and bingo you instantly have a portable Bookmark that you can use on various machines which you apparently have no interest in doing.
NO. I don't use any windoze systems currently, thank heavens!
I don't want to click a file with an IE icon and have IE —which i hate— popping up!
Yes; yes, i do know how to avoid that, and i can always delete IE. No, i don't want to have to resave it with another name, and .url files default to opening with Safari. (don't they?) I prefer Camino.
BTW The company is called Microsoft which can't be spelt by pressing random keys on your keyboard.
WTF are you talking about?! I am well aware of the name of the company and i can spell fine, thank-you. And there was NOTHING random about it! It's my business if i think the company's products, practices, and stance within the industry sucks. I was very deliberate in writing it 'microslough'!
Lack of capitalization i intended to denote lack of respect.
slough - noun
1. gangrene, sphacelus -- necrotic tissue; a mortified or gangrenous part or mass
micro - adj. 1. micro -- extremely small in scale or scope or capability
Hence "microslough" = small repugnant blob of gangrenous necrotic tissue that i wouldn't mind being removed.
cheers, S
