Modding can be inexplicable sometimes, so don't feel hard-done-by. For what it's worth I mis-read it as well, and your comment made me chuckle and if I had mod points I'd be more than happy to give you a "funny".
Perhaps some sort of points system might work, like a democracy of truth. People could "vote" on how accurate they believe a page to be (hopefully in an informed way) and a "How likely is this article to be accurate" index shown on each page.
Mr Wong the restauranteur had returned from holiday unaware that his trash bin
had been taken. One of the refuse guys knocked on the door one morning.
"Where's yer bin?"
"I bin to Hong Kong".
"No, where's yer wheeley bin"
"I weally bin to Hong Kong!"
It seems odd that other cafes are given this information. Is this so that cafe owners can track down lost customers, or find out who does the best Mocha? And the punters are leaving themselves open to all sorts of abuses. What do find in chinese cafes? China Mugs!
That's not necesarily true. I just wrote a little on-board homepage for my wifes computer. She uses firefox, so I designed it with that in mind. It's standards compliant and the HTML and CSS both validate. Out of interest I checked it on Opera and IE7 and it's fine but on Safari it's a mess! I've found it's wise to check on all browsers, and if you're using a liquid layout check on 'square' and 'wide' monitors.
That's why I don't have a problem using it. I have seen some scripts used which are well over the top and even some which refuse to display the site on IE6...what's the point in that? Save the developers seems to be slashdotted at the moment so if you can't see what I refered to, it's a tiny drop-down explaining to IE6 users that their browser is out of date. It then offers a download of IE7 and also the option of converting to Firefox, Opera or Safari. It's not specifically critical of people's choice of browser and primarily suggests the IE7 upgrade.
What an arrogant approach! Based on recent figures I calculated that 1/4 million people are using Opera (I'm one of them) in the U.K alone, and many countries have a higher percentage than this. And Safari users are probably even more numerous. Your clients are asking you to design sites that will piss-off millions of people world-wide. Good plan!
Save the developers! have a nifty bit of script which generates a drop-down when it detects I.E.6 being used, which urges the user to upgrade. It's subtle and inoffensive. I add it to all my sites.
BLINK will validate. To my eternal shame I've used it on my Home site's humour page and it passes w3c validation (just checked it to make sure). P.S. please don't slashdot me!
Am I the only person to find this somewhat distressing, that this guy's only words are "Help me". It sounds like there might be a conciousness present that realises things aren't right. Imagine how disturbing (terrifying?) that could be.
Interesteng 'demographic'. I assume the I.E. users have it foisted upon them, at work, say. But where's Opera? I have used this excellent product for years as my browser of choice and occassionally use Firefox if I have to (some websites really don't like Opera, sadly). The main reasons I like it are the customisability and the Wand feature.
I also use Safari and I.E. when checking my sites for cross-browser compatibility, and Chrome is pretty indistinguishable from Safari (both webkit based) so again there seems to be little point using it.
I suspect the UK gov't has already started work on one of these as it is easier, and cheaper in the long run, to monitor UK citizens this way than by using 1000s of CCTV cameras, and will allow the gov't to keep tabs on us even when abroad. I'm off to the dark side of the moon for a bit of *$%&&*!
Just a thought, and a bit off-topic, I know, but I was wondering if there is an Absolute Maximum Temperature? Like the opposite of absolute zero (Zero Kelvins). I'm no Physicist (you'd never have guessed, would you?) but as I understand it at Zero K the sub-atomic particles stop moving so energy effectively ceases to exist, so is there a max temp where these are so energetic that matter ceases to exist and becomes pure energy.
Or am I just talking a load of sh1t?

I was thinking more like 'feedback' on ebay?
Hopefully you all realised I meant Sushi...Doh!
So exactly how do creationists explain me, anyway?
I didn't bother with the Creationist version: God + desire for suchi = fish

I think I've found the answer, Fossil Plants!

What, you mean it turns brown and all the leaves fall off if you don't water it right?

You're right! My Wife is a fire-foxy and she hates Opera too. Women!
