I'm a Web DeveloperTM and I can confirm that the difference between later IE versions and other browsers is that IE doesn't put up with your poo poo; if you try a really dodgy CSS hack IE will have none of it

IE's box model was correct from the start and w3c was a bunch of whiny retard babies and now everyone who isn't brain dead uses border-box which is the IE standard.

the only thing consistent about the w3c box model is how bad it was. thankfully everyone has grown up and abandoned it for the IE standard.

If you liked Microsoft Edge, but wished it had more things, you might want to give Opera Opera a try.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

it's both funny and scary how atm companies will put so much attention into the physical security of the machines and then leave them running some ancient version of windows with autorun enabled and functional usb ports hidden behind a flimsy piece of plastic

Initial product development kickoff meeting:
"hey,.what should we call our product that's a vm for guarding apps fomr exploits? "
"Application Guard?"
"Sure, that's pretty basic and easy to understand. I like it"

Product beta phase:
"What should we release as the first supported application?"
"edge?"
"oh, duh. yeah. "

Later via email from higher ups to the pm:
"Hey, whats the status on Application Guard"
"its good. we're going to release Application Guard for Edge first and then we'll add more app support later"
"sounds good, i'll kick it over to marketing"

Marketing:
"hmmm, Application Guard for Edge? Who came up with that?"
"The tech guys did. "
"well, ok but I think we need to make sure people know this is part of Windows"
"ok so Windows Application Guard for Edge"
"Isnt this kind of a security application, like defender?"
:"well no, its more of a windows subsystem."
"but the user needs to know about it right?"
"not really but.."
"i think we should put it under windows defender"
"Windows Defender Application Guard for Edge?"
"Yes! perfect! All the brands and product lines clearly listed"
"you don't think its too wordy?"
"No its great!"
