Worker Test

Workers in IE11

A test for workers (and array buffers) in IE11 to see if they have the same 4 issues that IE10 had, namely

Uint8ClampedArray was omited
ArrayBuffer was missing the method 'slice'
Workers couldn't be created from blog urls
trying to use transferable objects failed badly
