Hm.  Put about 250 rounds through the 2022 today, but I was fucking up somehow, because at the end I had a hole about the size of a pack of smokes centered just down and to the left of the bullseye, with the bottom left corner of the bullseye also cut out.  For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to correct it, except to aim at the upper right of the BE, which put the round right down the middle.    <_<

I think I was just really cranking the trigger or trying to compensate for the recoil or something.  Not very much, but enough to throw it off.  Ah well.  It fixed the really shitty mood I was in all day, so mission accomplished.  Killed the hell out of that piece of paper.

That means the IQ score of the user, right?  As opposed to a borrowed term for the "IQ" of the interface or something dumb like that.

Firefox has been really shitty since the last few updates, freezing up when loading a lot of tabs at once (i.e., on restart), although it may mean I have an independent computer problem that merely affects Firefox.

In other news, it's bizarre watching Shin-Chan now that I know that the voice actor for Shin Nohara is an extra hot lady.

 Shin-Chan just isn't good TV, ide. I mean, if you're into that sort of thing, I guess..

The parts where they talk about Penny getting beaten by her father are pretty hilarious.

Opera bleh.  I used that for a while, didn't work well.  Firefox has been working well for me for a while, though I remember one update that was absolute shit.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

So the only people still using IE are those who can't figure out how to install a different browser?  :hmm:

Maybe it's based on those Internet IQ tests.

At my last place of employment we forced everyone to use IE6 (via Citrix) so we didn't have to perform version update testing for our web apps.  Did we: knock their IQ scores down. :(

I use IE9 mostly. Sometimes Firefox, I don't like it much.
