Definitions by GastonRabbit

A browser superior to Internet Explorer and its creators, who favor proprietary "HTML" over the W3C's standards.
Opera is better than Internet Explorer. Actually, snail mail is, too.
Opera by GastonRabbit November 4, 2004
Added to the end of a word to make a singular possesive (or sometimes a plural possesive with words whose plurals do not end with S, such as people) or a contraction with "is" or "has". Poorly-educated people/foreigners tend to use it for plurals and verbs, but that usage is incorrect.
-Correct-
Bob's cat is black.
Bob's going to the store.
Bob's gone to the store to get his cat some food.
------------
-Incorrect-
Cat's are fluffy animals.
Bob has a cat that overeat's.

Thunderbird 

Mozilla's standalone e-mail client. It has excellent spam blocking, unlike Micro$hit Outhouse Express. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Thunderbird blows Outlook Express out of the water, or should I say the Internet.

Windows ME 

Windows Mass Error. Windows ME is an OS directed towards consumers that was released in 2000. It looks like Windows 2000 on the outside, but on the inside it's full of more bugs than a beehive.
Windows ME user: lol windos me iz teh ro><or
Windows XP user: No it isn't.
Windows ME user: u r rong
Windows XP user: Here, lemme install Windows XP for you.
Windows ME user (now a Windows XP user): Wow, this is a lot better than Windows ME! Now I feel dumb for not upgrading.

Internet Explorer 

A browser that while popular, has many security holes. It also has poor support of today's standards, and has a dangerous feature called ActiveX that can be used to install programs harmful to computers.
Still using Internet Explorer? I suggest switching to a Mozilla-based browser, Opera, or another alternate browser.
Firefox is secure and standards compliant. Internet Explorer has security holes and poor standards support.

Firebird 

One of the former names of Firefox, Mozilla's standalone browser.
First Phoenix, then Firebird, then Firefox. Firefox is a good browser, but what's with the name changes?
