Bloody Intertubes
What the hell's going on with the Operation Aborted crash when visiting some sites? LGF says it's Sitemeter related, but only using IE7.
Fucking Chinese origin, for sure.
Update: Switched to Firefox from IE7 and no problems so far. Still think it's Sitemeter-related, but I don't know how to disable Sitemeter, just remove it, and the odometer's about to roll over a million. Hate to miss that...
Further thoughts: Everyone has always told me to use Firefox. Fuck that Internet Exploder! they say. As if I was still wiping my ass with 40-grit sandpaper while the rest of the world had long ago switched over to bunny pelts.
I've never seen the value-added to Firefox, to be honest (other than this Sitemeter issue).
So what are these great Mozilla features? Seriously. Clue bat me. Am I, horror of horrors, not extracting all the goody-bonuses from Firefox, or is it just the usual Microsoft bashing? Because that's like mocking cripples. Sure, it's fun for a moment, but ultimately not that satisfying.
Update II: Okay, I killed my Sitemeter (at 959k+ visits, dammit). Go ahead and bash Microsoft, because they DO suck, but this is likely a case of Sitemeter releasing an update without properly checking their code against all browser applications for gremlins. Not exactly Microsoft's fault if true.
Update III: Okay, I placed Sitemeter inside the body of my HTML per Joanie's advice. Appears to be working like a charm. Of course, I could be wrong. Better go fram on my site about 40,000 times, just to be sure.
Idjit. Bill Gates' team STOLE tabbed browsing from Firefox. Use your center wheel as a down-click on any link and you get another tab. Been that way for oh, about five years or more. Otherwise, I think it's control-click on a regular mouse or laptop.
Bunny pelts, indeed. Your formatting shortcut issues are probably due to some other outdated 40-grit on your Roma computer. Good grief! You shoulda let the punks that stole your truck keep your computer!

Anyone else?
Posted by: Velociman at August 2, 2008 8:47 AMSounds like the normal, standard software practice of Microsoft and the other guy pointing fingers at each other, while users grind away. I heard that Microsoft has fessed up, so you can realease Mrs. Gates from that warehouse now.
Posted by: Cappy at August 2, 2008 10:30 AMYep. I know fuckoll and I am doing this on Firefox and nobody is aborted. And I am keeping my 53K hits, so fuck you for boasting.
Sela.
I thought sitemeter was ok to keep with Firefox?
Posted by: Jean at August 2, 2008 11:16 AMWell, it is. But IE7 users can't see a site with Sitemeter, is my understanding.
Posted by: Velociman at August 2, 2008 11:26 AMProblem fixed - or did you remove Sitemeter? No issues getting here today, but I don't care which browser I use. I switched to Firefox yesterday, but can't say I noticed a vast improvement over IE. So I guess I'll get in line behind you for a clue batting. :)
On a related note.
Posted by: PeggyU at August 2, 2008 11:59 AMYeah, well fuck you, too, Vman.
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at August 2, 2008 12:00 PMHeh. Vindication is sooo sweet.
Too many peeps out there don't get the fact that sitemeter is important to some bloggers with over-inflated egos!
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at August 2, 2008 1:22 PMfirefox seems to work better with blogger..hell of a lot faster downloading pictures and I think it is supposed to have better security features..
Posted by: GUYK at August 2, 2008 3:26 PMSitemeter fixed the problem. I figured it was just a matter of time... too many people pissed off. And Sitemeter admitted to the fault.
