Anyone who *doesn't* write a site that serves seperate pages to different browsers is doing a disservice to the public. Most are too lazy or too apathetic to do so however.

The most obvious case in point being Lynx.

For various reasons ( including access to the reading disabled) every site should, at the very least, serve a different page to pure text browsers than it does to graphical browsers.

The whole *point* of identifying browsers at all is to allow the server to serve optimized pages for different browsers.

If you're writing solid HTML, then no, you should never need to write different versions of the same page for compliant browsers.

Example. Try viewing that page in Mozilla or IE, and then in Lynx. Works fine in all those browsers. And it is always exactly the same HTML & CSS.

It even works in Netscape 4, if you turn off CSS support... Yeah, hack needed, but netscape 4 is the most broken piece of crap web browser ever produced.

Re:reminds me of a spam i got a while back by amitola · 2002-10-25 06:48 · Score: 1 · on First Worm with a EULA?

Offtopic maybe, but as long as we're talking about the Crushlink sites, everyone should know that it is a well documented spam scam. This made the news sites a while back, although I am too lazy to google for the links. Basically, Crushlink and a couple others are all run by the same group of con artists out of Harvard(!), and get started by harvesting email addresses with spam bots. Later, of course, they hardly need the bots, because each sucker that got the first spam enters the real live email addresses of everybody they know, then each of those suckers does the same...

What broke the story was a site even more deceptive than Crushlink, whose name I forget (and probably shouldn't advertise anyway). This site would start with a similar spam ("Someone has a crush on you!"), get you to answer a bunch of personal questions, then manufacture a fictitious "secret admirer" that had--believe it or not--many of the same interests you did. Of course, the site goes on to entice you to enter more email addresses in exchange for more hints about your "secret admirer". I'll admit I fell for it for a while too, but at least I only gave /dev/null aliases on my own machine!

Explanation on legality of this information:

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed. It was written by authors who expressly permitted and encourage the redistribution of this software and information. The purpose of this software is not, I repeat not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site are purely written by 3rd parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods, which is, again, completely legal. This software and information below make it possible for people who legally obtained their DVD movies to view them on their Linux systems.

Not sure what version that is, but I downloaded it within the past month, so it is quite new. Get it while you still can.

I would have to agree. With my recent upgrade to 2.2(.9), my IDE Zip drive is now generating endless I/O errors and looses data whenever I try to copy or write to the drive disk. Worked fine in 2.0 as far as I can remember, and it works fine when I have to use it in 98.

2.2.5 or 2.2.9 also will not reboot my machine. It will get to the point where it is done printing messages on the console and is ready to actually reboot the machine, but it never actually does.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it. this one has me stumped..
