Right! The user is going to be spending a lot of time in the debugger! I suspect that if Joe User stumbled into it, he would want to "Quit" out of it, not the browser. Developers who are smart know the difference.
Anyway we shoulden't fool ourselves. Mozilla was built by developers for developers. Like they give a care about people who aren't "smart" like them. Maybe someone will come along and embed Mozilla it into an acutal user friedly browser. Netscape maybe? Ha ha--right!
Since I switch among browsers as appropriate I find this annoying, as well as against the spirit of the Net.
No one really cares what you find annoying. I'm sure the Google CEO is not sitting around saying, "Gee, I wonder what we can do to make sphealey happy today..."
just copy a file to install, and delete it to uninstall.
couldn't be easier.
some of the linux distros might want to take notice..NET has raised the bar for app development and deployment. they need to keep up if they want to stay afloat.
like joe user gives a damn that his browser dosen't "comply with standard internet protocols."
not only does he not care, he doesn't even know what the hell they are.
all he cares about is that the page looks like it did in IE.
With 20 million + potential users out there,...
"potential" is the key word there. seen the browser market share stats latley? mozilla's got a long row to hoe before it gets anywhere close to 20 million users from the 1000 zealots that use it now.
because she probably wanted to get actual work done! and for most sane users, looking up words in a book just because the apps on linux suck so bad.
zealot IT support worker to employee: "ahhh, yeah sorry that your linux wp won't spell check. but micro$oft sucks and linux rulez, so um... just look it up in a dictionary."
yeah, that's the ticket--let's just cause more grief to end users since linux don't work to well for the desktop. but at least the zealots feel like they are cool and "beating the system" by forcing a inconvenient solution on real workers.
sounds like redhat is turning into microsoft with these crazy "maybe we should make some money" schemes. dosen't sound like good open source to me! die redhat!
No. You end up with sveral implementations of the same standard. To be standardscompliant is important in this respect, because that is what makes it possible for webpublishers to publish to everybody. If webpublishers have to create different versions for different browsers they will eventually end up supporting just one of them. And we all know which one that will be.
If all browsermanufacturers were required to keep strictly to the standards, what you would get was different browsers that all can show all pages "correctly". The differing factors would be speed, generic look and feel of the browser and differences is user interface. (like keycommands, etc.)
The added bonus would be that since all manufacturers has a fully set specification to follow, they can devote more energy to make it faster ans slimmer and less to find "that must-have feature that will put the others behind for a while".
and who would be the organization that requires browser manufactures to keep strictly to the standards? the government? w3c? maybe linus? sheesh! i love communist open source fanatics. your dream worlds are lovely.
ie has won. the public has decided. get over it. the dragon has been defeated.

Stupid.
Or Playa?
what a bunch of off topic crap
actually those problems are solved with .NET
.NET has raised the bar for app development and deployment. they need to keep up if they want to stay afloat.

and is now getting close to giving IE a run for its money
ha ha, that's funny. get a life.
actually, it's this guy http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=23885&threshol d=0&commentsort=3&mode=nested&cid=2579642
didn't cha know?
really? i didn't even think linus liked bill all that much. where did you find this out? what do the rest of you zealots think?
