    I hope nobody is trying to justify something like MS-DOS being critical to anything

    Does American Public Media still post transcription HITs? Those were my favorite back in 2014

    If IE is updated, and it's functional, and their business isn't having the latest and greatest, and it costs 1 second or 1 penny to change... then you don't change it.

    I suppose I haven't kept up on IE related news in a while, but I thought IE hasn't worked on macs since the late 90's?

    ...Okay I use a Mac because I do freelance graphic design/video editing and Macs are better in literally every category for any kind of visual art. But I can't fathom choosing one because it's fancy only to put the literal worst and definitely not-fancy browser on it o_O

    Because people don't realize that there are other manufactures that you can buy all in one PCs from besides apple.

    No, it's just you have run across it or not. In fact smart people were fooled by this for a while.

    Purple line is 'The Ultraviolet Catastrophe' in blackbody radiation. Axes are changed a bit and squished on frequency. Previous science on BB worked fine... until you increase frequency, and energy level was apparently infinite!

    Yet it's a workable model for BB radiation at lower levels. This graph is accentuated to bring the UC out.

    And that's what a course in Modern Physics gets you!

    IE isn't updated anymore.. Fully updated would mean edge.. and edge isn't actually awful but it still isn't as good as chrome.

    Lol, yeah, I tried.
    :emoji_thumbsup:
    My thought was he should just embed the maps into the HIT itself.. That way no need for an extra window. I don't think a pay bump is going to happen, he has 200k data points and a limited budget by the sounds of it.
    PHP sucks.
    Not since June/July of last year that I have logged lol.
