    So....we had an auto update go out over the weekend that pushed IE8 to our users.

    Except most of our users here at this office already had IE8 and now most of them say they've been rolled back to 6.

    God damn it.

    Also Cass that gif is slowing down my machine considerably. Just like how I slow down LoL teams.

    Okay I edited the gif out, it was probably bigger than I thought (That's what SHE said)

    If that .gif turned out to be taken from a stop-motion video made out of post-its, I would simply not be surprised. Probably not even impressed.

    Edit: Arbuthnot dealt with it, apparently.

    In a few minutes, I will have been sitting idle in a comfy chair for longer than I've been doing my job. Are the customers just shy?

    It's not. It's only 480kb, which is 20kb below the cap. But for some reason, it was slowing down the whole IE window. So something local to my laptop.

    I got a job interview in an hour and a half. How many days should I stay with my current job if this one sounds OK? I only work there for 2 weeks.

    Jesus fuck. I finally got the reviewer comments back from this paper.

    Reviewer #1: This is good, it should be published
    Reviewer #2: Here is a list of irrelevant side investigations that would each merit their own paper following this one.

    Sooo, this is good?

    Remember, the Obama administration extracted such a cut as the price for its surrender on the Bush tax cuts — and it has been trying to get that cut extended, as the only economic stimulus it considers politically possible. And the GOP has turned it down flat.

    How can that be, when Republicans love tax cuts? The answer is, they don’t. They love tax cuts for the rich. Tax cuts for ordinary workers, many of whom will be those hated lucky duckies whose incomes are too low to pay income tax, are if anything something Republicans dislike.

    http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/05/anti-stimulus-politics/

    I do not think it is that simple; I think Republican strategists realize that it would help the economy and therefore Obama and therefore oppose it, whereas Republican rhetoricians oppose stimulus in principle and oppose it, and Republican legislators just go along with it; only a relatively low number of very rich Republicans actually think like this for self-interested reasons. But it is nonetheless quite straightforwardly bad policy.

    American politics strikes me as looking an awful lot like the worst aspects of Northern Irish politics right now: It doesn't matter about making things better for everyone, all that matters is making sure "themmuns" don't get an edge of any kind.

    No, because #2 demands those side investigations be completed and included in this paper before publication. He's wrong, but for obvious reasons it's hard to get an editor to change your reviewers just because he doesn't recommend instant publication.

    Basically, it's about winning, not about the country or the people.

    So what are your options? Are second opinions out of the question?

    My supervisor should have more experience here, so I've forwarded him the email with my thoughts. Sadly, he's an idiot though, so he might just shrug, in which case I'd contact the editor myself asking for a third reviewer (pointing out that #2 makes some good points for the logical progression of this study and other irrelevant flattery). If it's a no, then I submit to a different journal.

    Does the chair itself engage in the punching, or does it merely render the act of punching its occupant easier than it otherwise would be?
