Practice safe computing: dump Explorer

Regarding the New York Times’ apology for its WMD coverage, A Get Your War On character suggested that they should have asked instead Why the hell are you still reading us? Does Judith Miller have to kill you herself?

Well, why the hell are you still using Internet Explorer? Does Bill Gates have to kill you himself?

At least they patched this one… after their initial reply recommending retyping all URLs instead of actually clicking on links.

Seriously, get Firefox. Get Opera. Dump Explorer. (Then get Thunderbird or Eudora Light and dump Outlook.)

=v= Synchronicity: The New York Times website uses links that rely on the very misfeature that gives Internet Explorer this vulnerability.
