   I don't get this: the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950. The relevant section, 31 USC 714(b), dictated that congressional audits of the Federal Reserve may not include "deliberations, decisions and actions on monetary policy matters." Th

   Seems like we still don't get to see ie7 and ie8 together, which makes this far from perfect. I'll stick with IETester for now and keep hoping that we can all drop support for IE6 soon.

    That same band still chooses to work with the big labels. I might not buy cd's as a protest against the way the labels behave, but I don't see the need to protect the bands from the labels. If the bands don't like to work with the labels, t

    Better, but not excellent. The min-max-close buttons look good, but the mouseover effect on the menubar is horrible, the input fields for url and search are non-standard. And why can I drag a tab when there is only one?
