Congrats to Mrs C.
18 years is a long time, what did you get her, a new white stick? 
Come to think of it, I'm 18 years with my mrs as well (although 10 married)....sheesh, no wonder I'm broke.

I've noticed lately (perhaps after an Updates Tuesday pass, not sure), that IE10 hangs on a regular basis. I usually keep numerous tabs open and being able to restore my previous session is quite helpful.
But lately, it's just too painful. I do not do toolbars, so it isn't any obvious web garbage ware add on. I've seen threads go compute bound, I've seen them gobble gigabytes of VM, and on and on.
I like IE10, because it plays nicely with one customer's Exchange email server, but this is tedious.
On a backup machine that I have, IE10 was so messed up (fathers, don't let your daughters have admin rights), I removed it and when back to IE9.
Anyone else seen this weirdness?

Big mistake. Try using Mozilla, Chrome, Opera or Safari or any other browser you can think of without the Label of big E with something like a planetary ting

All browsers consume ridiculously immense amounts of memory, these days. Those that don't stop when the device begs them to, or that don't clean up after themselves properly, cause serious problems.
May HTML5 burn in Hell for allowing developers to add 50MB requirements to every page, advert, and form loaded.
I want a browser with the option: Restrict the memory usage of each page to:..., and bollocks to any company/site owner whose demand for memory exceeds the limit I select.

I just noticed that nearly everthing looks just terrible in IE10. (Starting with those damn ugly input controls)
Most ASP.NET application don't work with IE10 (thanks to all those workarounds needed for older IE version) and so on. It's just a piece of crap in my opinion. The only nice thing to say about it: it's pretty fast. I'm still happy with Chrome (although I don't really like some of the changes they have made recently to the UI and that the settings page seems to change with every other release but that's probably another subject...)

Yes, it seems that IE has failed in many ways (of course, Microsoft has too). IE9.x and now 10.x are unusable to me, because something in it always fails or slows down or just doesn't render the page. And then, even when it does render, the controls look different (and worse) than they do in other browsers. I know an era ended (era of M$) and another one began (era of Google) when I recently chose Chrome has my default browser. I have been using IE since the first release in Win95. So long, Microsoft. And thanks for all the memories.

Same here.

Okay, so I have some small comfort that it isn't just me. With all of the elephanting (first use of that phrase) embedded advertising, this may be part of the problem. I scan drudge from time to time, and the page itself is butt simple - two cheeks a crack and a hole  and plain text. Except for the advertisements.
The other theory I have has to do with some update MS pushed out. The original IE10 was snappy and performed flawlessly. Maybe IE was nuked by a MS plugin/toolbar - I see that OneNote has an integration object.
Oh well, moving along, nothing to see here.

Take solace in the fact that you're not a Frenchman living in Luton.

You can't live in Luton, can you? Even if you are French. Exist, yes - but live...
