Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera
An anonymous reader writes "The Register has a story that the MSN homepage serves a different style sheet to the Opera web browser that makes Opera appear to be broken. Is this deliberate or a mistake? Who can possibly say? Opera's own take on the situation can be found here." This is not the first time.

First let me say I am a major anti-tax person. Taxes should not be a way for government just to grab money whenever money's present. Taxes need to be rational.
That said, I have less problem with paying taxes that actually go to improving the delivery or quality or route to whatever it is being taxed.
For example, it could be argued that sales taxes I pay on book purchases in a physical stores help the state or locality maintain the streets I use to get to the book store, and maintain a business-friendly beaurocracy that help make it easier for the bookstore to locate near where I live.
So if the states can prove that the taxes they collect for on-line purchases somehow help my state or locality enhance my online service, then fine. However, I don't see how my locality helps me with the bandwidth I buy from a company based in another state, or with the purchase I made from a company based in another state. What value do I get for paying that tax?
Give serendipity a chance.
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.
Anyone who writes a site that takes advantage of this to deliberately make certain browsers look like shit is a shithead.

I am sure there are few that actually type msn.com and go there, but I am forced to go because I have a hotmail account and I can't seem to hit the stop button fast enough before I am pushed into msn.com. So, I don't see this as FUD, but instead more of Microsoft's tactics to do away with competition. If the page doesn't load then people will start using IE. Right?
On a related note, who would want to visit goatse.cx anyway?
