Here’s the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

Firefox and webkit browsers switch to CORS anytime you ask for an XHR to another domain, but the XHR interface is the same.  IE8 has CORS support using a special interface: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288060%28VS.85%29.aspx

  • I’m not ignoring you I just lost interest
  • if I promise to miss you will you go away?
  • I promise to be nicer if you promise to be smarter
  • you almost made me cry but then you left
  • I’m not listening but go on… I enjoy how your voice makes my ears bleed
  • I’d tell you to go to hell, but i work there and i don’t want to see you everyday!
  • you’re just jealous because the voices only talk to me
  • I am busy right now, can I ignore you some other time?
  • silence is golden… duct tape is silver.
  • awww that`s so cute!  you actually think i care…
  • Oh you want my number??….here it is….1-800-WATEVA
  • I’d agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.
  • I’m sorry while you were talking I was trying to figure where the hell you got the idea I cared.
  • Stop being so stupid.. it’s my turn.
  • You can have as many friends that money can buy, but I’ll still hate you for free.
  • I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I just made your horn louder.
