Why can't IE run javascript every other browser can? Or rather is there a way to get rid of every version of IE before 9? Sigh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I was just about to ask that same question about Safari....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Can anyone think of a reason why Quicktime 10.1 would be telling me a video has a bitrate of 4.3Mbps (double what it should be) and Quicktime 10.0 is telling me 2.3Mbps (what I'd encoded it at)???

I need to give a client an answer more technical than "Quicktime 10 is fucked up, I don't even."

One's a mono-rate and the other stereo?

That would only bump it up by the audio bitrate, which is 128kbps.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What is the size of the file in megabytes? What length of time is it?
