Stop this idiotic OS and Browser war. I use what I like and if it isn’t what you like, so what! Talking about freedom or who owns you? In your case this is very obvious, Apple owns you, every penny of you.

Only Mac users are this antisocial and ignorant. Go and play an advocate of peace and tolerance (something useful you know) and stop praying to Steve Jobs and kissing (or worse) your Mac every morning.

I don’t like Jehovah witnesses because they are trying to force me to think like they do and for that same reason I don’t like Mac users. Mac users all belong to a sect whose followers only purpose in live is to use every means possible to force their view upon others. And if you don’t think like them and use the same Apple stuff as them and pray to the same god called Steve Jobs, then you have no right to exist.

Just look at this blog, it is a free advertisement for Apple and the most blatant anti Microsoft I’ve seen in a long time, don’t worry my friend you have made the wallet of Steve Jobs and Apple very happy again, you are a good follower and slave.

And why did I enter ” Anonymous” as name? For exactly the same reason I have a “Please no Jehovah witnesses” sticker at my front door. Your pathetic breed of nonhumans can’t even cope with criticism without getting unbelievable aggressive.

Your dad sounds a lot more reasonable, he uses what he likes or is at hand. How could he ever have bring fort a son like this? For God sake (no, not Steve Jobs but the real one) talk about something interesting without flaming everybody who doesn’t think the same like the people who own you, Apple.

Spend some time working or communicating with other people outside your Apple believes instead of flaming everybody that doesn’t think the same like you and maybe you will join humanity once again!

Show this to your dad and ask him what he thinks about it.

And by the way, I use all browsers because they all have problems of their own (and don’t even get me started about Safari). If it wasn’t for people like you maybe we could work together to limit it all to ONE browser and one OS, both having the best of all combined.

And one last thing, A MAC? You mean Linux with a graphical interface build around it?

This was a great piece of advice. That error made me want to jump off of a building. Works like a champ now! Thanks.

Thanks for posting this, Aral. I was having an issue with swfobject loaded via AJAX. I wasn’t getting an alert error like you were, but the defer solution worked for me (I had never heard of that attribute before).

I had this problem with ie6 + swfobject too, but in my case it was because of the tag I used. In ie6 you can’t use a self closing tag for like so so you must add the closing tag yourself

More details on the SWFObject FAQ page, point 4

So I tried the defer=”defer” it succeeded in allowing the page to load but once I clicked on links, the page froze/ the page went dead. No idea.
