I haven't looked into this personally yet, but I had our sites re-visited for QA when IE7 came out. Nobody reported any issues, and we use a variant on pngbehavior.htc for our logo -- I'll bet that's also how you're doing yours.
Worst-case scenario, you could use some of that IE-only CSS-ifdef-by-browser-version-shit (I forget the M$ name for it) to disable the.htc in your CSS for IE7.

Not to put too fine a point on it... but if I had a user interface like that ship on Andromeda, I would never need pr0n again. I'd just reprogram that avatar. Mmmm-MM!.
Not only that, but a lot of those searches are cases where juvenile programmers want to empty-out a string. I guess they REALLY want to get it empty or something, I see this "error" a lot -- programmers who use
memset(arr, 0, sizeof(arr))
when
*arr = 0
would do.
Clearly, this is only true when arr is treated as an ASCIZ string.
Until Solaris/10, Jumpstart installs had "no password" as the default password for root, IIRC.
Oracle has used "scott/tiger" as the default [example] login/password since about 1979. Ditto for the DBA, system/change_on_install.
You don't often hear of Oracle DBs getting cracked because of this, because most DBAs are at least smart enough to realize that EVERYBODY knows the default passwords...
TD/Canada Trust just replaced their old, 90's-era, OS/2-running ATMs with those Diebold pieces of utter garbage.
They are SLOW. REALLY slow. Like running Windows XP on a P2-300. Godawful slow.
And they ask SO MANY MORE questions. And they don't have the short cut "enter-means-okay".
I used to be able to complete an ATM withdrawal in well under 20 seconds. Now it's more like 45. It's bloody ridiculous.
Plus I'm afraid that these American Diebold machines are going to cheat me out of my money somehow. They already stole an election, I figure my paycheque is small potatoes by comparison.
We're also smart enough to realize that "hand-counting" doesn't mean the same hand has to count all the votes. We have a novel concept called "teamwork", by which means several people count all the votes at once.
If you nitwits could hire our elections people to run one of your federal elections, I can guarantee you you would know who your government was within 12 hours of the polls being closed.
And you could pay for it by selling your crooked vote-counting machines to the (other) Axis of Evil.
I don't know what it is, but it sure as hell ain't 98%.
That said, we don't have term limits. Pierre Trudeau was in office for a LONG time... Probably more than a decade if you add 'em all up.
One good thing to note -- Ontario (our most populous province) has elected the opposite party for provincial government than was in federal power at the time of election virtually every time for over a hundred years.
This means that if we have liberals in Ottawa, we have conservatives in Toronto.. and vice-versa.
Has current loop ever been used *anywhere* commercially besides MIDI?
I remember reading the original MIDI spec about a hundred years ago, and saying "Say, that's quite clever!".
It's particularly appropriate for musical instrument use, as ground loops in studios are definately something to avoid. Also, stupidity errors are usually limited to blowing an opto coupler.
I haven't bothered searching for LPT ports, but my most recent laptop came without serial ports... which is a serious no-no in the Land of a Thousand Sun Boxen.
$70 or so later, I had a commodity USB-to-Serial adaptor. I'll bet they make parallel port ones, too.
Incidentally, a P75 with 16MB of RAM will run Windows 3.1 VERY nicely. You must be doing something wrong. I can remember the day when a 486 DX/2-66 with 500MB of disk and 16MB of RAM was a *spankin'* box. It even ran Chicago (Win'95 beta from late '93) nicely.
Until very recently, I was still running Win98 on the desktop. Why? Because when I bought my last desktop, it was 1999, and that's what came installed on it.
I never re-installed anything, always kept it behind a hardware firewall, didn't surf where I wasn't s'posed to, and ran Mozilla, then Phoenix, and eventually Firefox on it.
Visio 4, Office 97, Visual Studio 6, eVC++ 3, blah blah, all works fine. (And actually, I run them on my XP box now, except for eVC++ because I stopped doing WCE. VS6 is only for personal toys, real work is done on UNIX).
Finally, the time came when it just got too slow -- Win98 probably needed a reinstall after 7 years (or maybe.NET 2.0 killed it). So I bought a new PC, and wasted almost three days getting things "Just so" -- Cygwin/X running right, all my work apps on it, keyboard remapping (control key is NEVER where it belongs these days!), visual-cortex-assaulting graphics gone, proper network drive connections, etc, ad nauseum.
That three days of my time is worth a LOT more than the cost of the new PC.
Which is why I hope not to upgrade again until at least 2011. 2016, preferably.

It was mostly #F0F0F0 with #101020 highlights.
At least that's what it looked like to me, but who knows, I never bother with colour correction.
Name three really good Canadian bands with album releases within the last year.
Well, around *here*, the whole damned Eastern US & Canada went out for couple of a days 3 or 4 years ago.
We're talkin', no juice for several hundred miles in any direction.

I understand that "Aspirin" has become dilluted in the US; everywhere else, it is a trademark describing ASA made by Bayer.
And, once upon a time, Xerox's name was used for another product: warez!
Yes, it's true! What delicious irony! Get it? Copies? Ho-ho!
Oh, wait, that was on ftp.xerox.com.... So, let's see.. is that trademark subversion, or not? *head exploding*

That's nothing.
I thought "The Amazing Race" was all about Nazis.
And "Cartography" was about exploring Cartman's body.
