Opera should just add a config option to send an MSIE User-Agent.
This is the worst they could do, a definite no-no. IE has already such a huge market share, and you want it to appear artificially bigger? Notifying a webmaster his site does not comply to standard is a much more intelligent thing to do.
we close down our OS refugees camps, and tell them to go to hell, so they end up sleeping in bus shelters and phone booth, wandering along the Channel. Try to beat that, Oz!
Instead of reducing the engine, I think it might be better to start from scratch, and making a very quick n small browser, and THEN using enhancements to add functionality step by step for people with different requirements.
And in the end, what do you get? Netscape Communicator 4.7...
What is the most amazing to me is that these stations seem to have escaped time: you can see ads from the 50s on the wall. When there was some works done at the Roosevelt station, they removed a part of the wall coverings, revealing the original wall, covered with ads, and a map of the subway as it was in the mid 60s.
The mesopotamia is known through the tens of thousands of clay tablets. I guess our civilization will be studied through the billions of plastic bags we leave everywhere.
Umm does this mean Alta Vista is going to start ignoring ROBOTS.TXT permissions?
If they did that, many webmasters would quickly block their spider, and all other search engines would give results that would be invisible to Alyavista...
Maybe they have contracts with websites to be atuhorized to reach some of the robots.txt protected pages.
This really sounds like workflow and groupware, the de facto standard being Lotus Domino/Notes. Very few products are available on the shell for this environment, but it is quite easy to implement yours following your own needs.

Here is a page about the Paris subway ghost stations (only eleven, much less than London).

No, but boy, did they use a tremendous amount of dead trees. MURDERED TREES.

Now, that would be a nasty evolution...
And at 3PM PST they now have almost 7400 pages processed!
Must be the first time something valuable comes out from slashdotting a website...
No it does not.
