Maybe they should fictionalize (or not) Atomwaffen Division and use them as a (too close to reality) terrorist group. I suppose it would make the film hard to classify as drama or documentary.
You have encountered HTML and/or CSS code (1) that's in the W3C recommendations, (2) works as intended in IE, and (3) doesn't work as intended in Firefox? Care to offer some code examples or an illustrative URL? I would be interested in seeing this. It would be a first for me.
The answer to the question in your post is "Yes." To address the question in your subject line, if software quality is an issue (and I believe it is), then Microsoft's ascendance in the word processing software market is even more perplexing. Word *still* can't do things that WordPerfect was able to do long ago. In fact, I still prefer to use WordPerfect for any document that is (a) longer than two pages and (b) not intended to be shared with others in its native format.
"Hmm, actually that would be Piper, the guy who initiated the move from Microsoft
Yes, Piper may be a liar, a cheat, and a thief (we don't even have a plea in the case to which you refer), but not in connection with the city of Houston's bidding process. As we see from material you quoted:
"The county District Attorney, in a separate probe, examined Piper's financial records and stumbled into evidence that Piper may have embezzled $200,000 from his previous employer, Reliant Energy." (emphasis added)
In fact, I'm at a loss to explain the newspaper's decision to drag this unrelated scandal into the article. I hope it wasn't to discredit one side in the Microsoft vs. SimDesk contest.
what with better, and often free, or even open source programs
Right. Wake me up in ten years when there's an open source word processor that comes close to the capabilities of WordPerfect. Actually, wake me up when there's ANY word processor that does.
As for the rest of their "average to good" product catalog, I can't argue with you.
It's worse than Dreamweaver. At least Dreamweaver can be modified to produce something close to valid XHTML code. See this page for a set of modifications to Dreamweaver that close the gap between its output and valid XHTML.

Maybe. But true nonetheless.
... one less competitor for SlySoft. They must be partying on Antiqua.
Relax. Just think of this as natural selection in action. It's all good.
"That, unfortunately, will mean work for site administrators."
The only "unfortunate" thing about the need to retool web sites is that it could have been avoided by coding to the standards in the first place.

That's weird. It installed as part of the Debian unstable meta-package for GNOME 2 (apt-get install gnome) and worked right off. No muss, no fuss.

Oh, !@#$. That should be validate. I hate screwing up URLs.
You DID validate your page so we're sure the problem is the browser and not your page, right?
