I really don't care for brownies. (or cake) Except anything with peanut butter in it I eat them but would much rather have something like this

For some reason, this reminds me of SSE...!

Yeah, I don't know the whole story, but our organization has several complex data systems and applications, and I think the other part of the problem is being able to run them on multiple browsers. For some reason Firefox was the least stable/compatible.

I feel your pain, I have the same problem at work. They also force us to an older IE version because the latest version didn't work with some of our corporate systems....

Yep, your workplace sounds like mine in regard to not being up-to-date technology-wise. They really have difficulty letting go of inefficiency apparently.

I wouldn't be surprised if your workplaces were still on XP. My school's computer system still had a few XP machines until last year. Now they're all on 7.

That would be a yummy ride!

I'm sorry for our issues, sometimes, like this morning I just couldn't take it anymore. So frustrating. Magic told me I need a new computer....seriously I don't have any issues on the various sights I visit!

I have noticed these slowdowns as well.
I wonder if they added way too many scripts that run at same time....

I have never ever gone to a scary movie. I don't enjoy them. I'm not scared because my brain constantly tells me it's just play acting, but, I just don't find that stuff entertaining. Life is scary enough for me.

Spoiler

I take that back, I did take a date to a scary movie at a drive in once, but, I don't remember seeing the movie. I was to busy comforting the poor young lady.

Spoiler

See that is one of the many reasons that I have that halo. I'm a comforting person and care about others.

Hahaaa...!
The last scary movie I saw at a theater (not a drive-in) was "Terror Train" in '80.
I went with 2 female friends of mine, Denise and Martha.
Woof, was I ever bruised after that flick...!

Not that I dislike Windows XP. I love Windows XP since I grew up with it, but I'd be lying by saying it's not outdated.

Actually, I think we do have 7 now. But yes, we've always been behind.

Ummm…that sorta sounds a bit racy to me!

@Wrangler-Rick As you can see, the BAH being gone does little to improve the view of the Chinese Theater when a stage is there...

hopefully that monstrosity will be gone in the same way the BAH did.

Yep, should be down by mid-September, right?

Get rid of Flash. I'm on a Mac, had that same problem, uninstalled Flash and it stopped. Now I have a Firefox add-on which gives me Flash whenever I want it to...meaning it's not activated unless I activate it to play clips or something.

you can also force flash to ask you every time it wants to activate.
so you can just say NO and the page will load better.
but pretty sure in this case.. its the javascript scripts.

I went to a sweat lodge on a trip to Manzanillo - they call it a temazcal. I loved it! So invigorating and relaxing at the same time.

as in Manzanillo, Mexico?
or there is a Manzanillo in the US?

I also have a Mac at work and we're not supposed to use Firefox due to security issues. Which is fine cuz I prefer Safari.

What kind of security issues? as far I know, the problem is FLASH (which now includes the protected mode in firefox).
but then.. Flash affected almost all browsers.
Safari for me.. is awful.
Because a lot of the time.. it renders webpages on the way it damnly wants, not in the way it should.
That makes me (a Web developer) furious.
I mean.. Safari is what IE is for Windows (not as bad, but you get my drift).
Where both refused to follow the real standards of HTML, CSS..etc..

Seriously!? FF is one of the most secure browsers! I wonder why they think it has security issues...
But I don't want to start a browser war, so I'll just end here.

Pretty sure the issue was FLASH in conjunction with Firefox.

I still remember how Firefox started to block Flash if it was not updated. Same with Chrome.. which started to block a lot of things due of security issues.
Its not a browser issue imho.

That used to happen a lot in my country as well.
Banks forced you to use IE6 because they programmed it explicitly for ActiveX.
It was and still is.. a giant security liability. (browse anywhere.. get infected instantly by trojans, adware, viruses, worms..etc..)

Made even worse when Microsoft were forcing you to upgrade to newer IE versions.

Mexico.

dunno, but I hope its down in December/January. Also I hope the work on the castle is done by then..
I dont think I will be back in WDW for a bit after that trip.
Might prefer to goto Disneyland or a Cruise in europe.

Jeepers, How many trips is this for you with the castle hidden by construction walls? Oy

Yeah, the Frozen stuff is supposed to be done by Sept 7, unless they decide to extend it, but even then it shouldn't go past Sept.
