June 29, 2006 Blog » Microsoft Internet Explorer and the 'also rans' One of the many interesting bits of information provided by our website statistics application (CPanel) is that more than 11% of LPT's English-speaking site-visitors use the Firefox browser -- which puts that browser in distant (but still respectable) second place behind Internet Explorer in popularity among our site-visitors. Those two browsers together account for almost...

Even worse is when a new software version appears to work (at least for its 'announced purpose') but later turns out to be responsible for one or more nasty (and seemingly unrelated) problems that cause our delicately balanced computer system to 'go south'...

Any way to look at it, that's a loss in the Lira's value since May 8 of about 18%. This drop in value provides a financial windfall opportunity for you prospective tourists out there -- to realize a substantial cash-money discount on the Turkish portion of your holiday-booking and anything you buy here while vacationing...

He then went behind one of men, Hilmi Bey, and yanked his pants down while the Live TV cameras whirred. Trouble is...

On what looked almost like a set play, Ilhan Mansız opened the Turkey-Korea match from the midfield kickoff spot with a forward ball to Hakan Şükür who wrong-footed the Korean World Cup defenseman Hong Myung-bo. Şükür then quickly banged the ball left-footed past the goalkeeper from 50 feet...

So much so that, when I sit down to have some, I consume a box at a time, whether that be a pint, a quart (or a liter) -- or even a half-gallon of ice cream when I'm going strong. Once the box is open, like Pandora's, I can't close it again until it's empty...
