Why do pages with Scriptactive (sic) crash your Mac?

The answer is simple. You are running a third-rate OS on your Mac.

PS. As soon as I finish (start) reading ActiveX and OLE, I'll attempt a
description of what ActiveX is all about. Until then, dare I point you at
http://www.microsoft.com/activex ? Explaining ActiveX is a whole lot easier
if you understand COM. If you don't, then I might attempt a mini-COM
tutorial, but not today. (If you were CorbaBoy instead of CobraBoy, then
you'd know what COM was all about...)

WTF is Scriptactive? And why does a page using Ms active whatever crash my
Mac?

See Joe this is the problem. I really don't care if Ms wants to release a
third rate os to the world. People get what they deserve. However what I
don't like is a company that has to push their mentality on the rest of us
if we don't want that.

Freedom, that's what it is all about, and Ms doesn't believe in it.

any page that is authored that Nexus.app can't read isn't worth 2 cents.
