    Did we mention it is impossible to kill a virus?

    That assumes that a virus is alive, not a universally accepted viewpoint.

      Nope, that assumes a virus is not alive in the first place, and therefor cannot be killed. A universally accepted viewpoint. ;P

        The way I understood it, a virus is alive and can be killed. As I understand it in fact air can kill HIV (which is why it's transmitted through fluids), but curing a human of a viral infection (without killing the host too) is another matter. But I'm by no means a virus expert.

          You can destroy a virus, you can't 'kill' it. All a virus is, is a protein case, with some DNA (or RNA) inside. It gets into cells, puts the new genetic code into the cell, and the cell starts making more viruses (is it viruses or viri? or both?). They're like God's little hackers. On a side note: Look how off topic this has become :laugh:

            Hmm. I assumed they were cells. Good to know.

            Yeah I noticed that. My fault, my apologies.

              You'd think so. I always thought so. But in the debugger, plural or not, it was not returning a collection. Which was actually completely my fault because I was asking for the tags before the document had actually rendered them but even so, when are browsers' implementation of javascript going to start doing what I want instead of what I tell it to do? Huh? HUH??

              cheers, Chris Maunder

              I hear there's a browser out there that supports using VBScript client-side... ;P

                  1. Why does Firefox refuse to be sensible with setting the width of a File upload control 2. Why does IE report Zip file uploads as application/octet-stream instead of /zip? 3. Why does Firefox return getElementByTagName("body") as a collection whereas IE returns a single element 4. Why aren't browser makers forced onto an island with an assortment of sharp, messy weapons to duke it out and settle on a single standard. How hard can it be to decide on what "width" means? Or on how to insert some text into a page?

                  Because Microsoft wouldn't do it.

                    Wouldn't that imply they're alive?

                      Because getElementByTagName returns a collection in general? Because it actually renders more than one body element.

                        I say it's the devil's work. :rolleyes:


                        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove and evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes perfect sense.
