AP reports on renewed "Browser War"

An anonymous reader writes "CNN and others are reporting an Associated Press story on "the revived browser war" with Mozilla paired against Microsoft. It seems the 1.0 release is creating some waves out there. " Considering most people consider the war long since over, I can't imagine this mattering much.

  1. Why should anyone listen to you? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You are the asshole who made that crappy .sig that spoiled the major plot points of Episode II. You are not only a loser that had to see the movie as soon as it came out, but you are such a pathetic ass that you had to ruin it for anyone who wasn't obsessed enough to see it immediately. I suppose doing this was your only means of artificially lifting yourself above others. Ironically, it made you more desperate and sad that you could have been in the first place.

    Everyone makes occasional comments that end up as trolls or flamebait. But to put that in your sig showed a thought-out plan to try to put a little shit into others lives.

    Therefore you are a troll, and you are pathetic. Maybe it's not to late to make your life worth living.

    because IE renders most Mozilla pages fine, but mozilla doesn't render all IE pages fine.

    Ohmygod this is funny!

    Another way to write your sentence above is:

    "because Mozilla renders most IE pages fine, but IE doesn't render all Mozilla pages fine."

    Since Mozilla is the 'better browser' but doesn't accept sloppy coding, IE has an advantage.

    The only reason there is sloppy (i.e. broken) code out there is because MSIE dutifully rendered it without generating any errors that a web designer could address.

    On top of that, Mozilla does have a quirks mode which is enabled unless a site specifically specifies the browser is HTML compliant with a DTD.

    But mostly I liked your circular logic.
