Doesn't make sense because Squirrelmail is also written in PHP and it's pretty solid. The next version will use HTTP-only cookies to further harden against attacks.

I'd tell them how horrible the "modern" laptop is and how we'd have to turn things around in order to prevent wasting away all that research for decades to come.

I'd show them this video: http://vimeo.com/71278954

Windows actually supports using / as a path delimiter. If a program is (following the robustness principle) liberal in what it accepts (both / and \\) and strict in what it sends (just /), it'll work (barring any other issues).

> The really amazing thing here is that they've disentangled IE from the base Windows

Calling bull. MSIE has never been "entangled" with the OS and this has in fact been proven in court ( http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f2600/2613g.pdf pages 283 through 288 are especially noteworthy). The integration was merely a scam to defeat Netscape.

Here's a bunch of standalone versions from 1996 to 2002 (made by MSFT themselves) which can all run side by side: http://browsers.evolt.org/browsers/archive/ie/win32/

On the same site, you can find MSIE for HP-UX and Solaris.

I'm eagerly waiting for Scientific, but there's no word on when to expect it that I know of
