Nope, I use IE because it's how my website is going to be represented. I use MYIE2, which has all the features everybody bitches are missing from IE, like tabbed browsing, popup blocking, etc, but uses the IE rendering engine. Why do I choose to use the shittier IE engine? Because it is in my best interests to make the page look as good as possible. And I wouldn't do it just for work, either, I'd do it on my personal homepage, too. And I'm not a MS apologist or zealot, hell, I'm a php programmer.
Here's an example, let's say you make the decision to make a website entirely in Flash. You may lose 5 percent of the web surfers, but you might gain leads or sales. It all depends on what you're going for. On the other hand, there is no real benefit in designing for Mozilla, or Opera, or any other browser but IE for the moment.
I was talking to my girlfriend the other day, and she was telling me about how her University's web site, where you check your grades, forces you to use Mozilla, and that Mozilla wasn't working at all. Her computer is, admittedly, really old and slow, but I find that Mozilla doesn't really run well when your computer has very little RAM.
So I explained to her that whoever was designing her university's web site were zealots forcing their technical choices on everybody else. Who the hell designs web sites that they know don't work in IE? Or even begins testing their web site in a browser other than IE? This is a little different then designing web sites that don't work in Netscape 4.0.
You guys make this big deal about web standards but I'll tell you what, you're not informing anybody. You're just pissing people off. 99% of the time, they'll just leave your site, and maybe, hopefully 1% of the people will take the time to write a letter to your boss and bitch about your holier than thou web design practices.
Yeah, IE isn't web compliant. Yeah, it doesn't support PNGs correctly, or render CSS the way you want it to. And you know what? If 95% of your users aren't going to see your web site as you intended, maybe you should reconsider your profession. I suggest, bible thumper.
Well, if you follow the links in the words vaguely familiar that you posted, that might shed some light. Why do we have to have commentary in every news post?
I can see how it would integrate quite well. Its maybe a little taller than a VCR, and if you got the DVD remote w/ XBMP it would function a little better than this, e.g. browsing through cover art, etc. Just because you mod the xbox doesn't mean there's just shit all over the place.
The Gamecube is NOT sold at a loss, Nintendo makes money off of each one sold. I believe the PS2 is not sold at a loss either, I think Sony breaks even on that one.
How is this any different from IRC networks or companies that run large binary newsgroup hostings? They have the ability to index, search, and filter what goes on in their networks.
I had a N64 copier, so I played more or less every N64 game in existence. The only ones I thought were good were Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Dr. Mario 64. The rest of them were pretty nauseating and rehashing each other. There were like 50 Mario 64 clones for N64, and 50 Goldeneye clones for N64, and they were all horrible. When a system has 4 good games, it's a piece of shit. Look a the SNES, or the Dreamcast if you want to talk about a good system. There were dozens of good games for those.

How annoying would it be to have a husband named Husband. If you married a Husband, you'd be committing literary pologamy.
I kind of wish they had.
Apparently you've never played Civilization.
Why does this sound vaguely familiar?

Because they're suing people that just purchased smart cards, not necessarily programming them with DirecTV data.
I can't really think of any example where you would need "register globals" on, except to run legacy code. Can you give me an example?
MS stopped it 5 years later. And external companies have always had support for Microsoft products.

I'm guessing you've never used an empeg before? Although they technically just bought that.

This was done in the last election. Legally. In fact, quite a few of America's earliest presidents bought their votes outright.
Half the point of going to Kinkos is to be able to put a CD in the tray!
Whenever someone calls me with a computer questions, or sends me an IM with a computer question, I send them to this link that I made specifically:

Wow, you're a few beers short of a six pack, aren't you?
So has anyone found the divx of this off Kazaa yet?

You mean spreading? Like the parent said?
I thought Angeline Jolie was hot in Hackers. And if you pause it at the right spot you can see nipples. =)
Why don't you read this article and then talk about how much you love the RIAA?

That's true, but try freezing frosting sometime and comparing the taste to dipping dots. They could be saving a lot of money here. =)

McDonalds sells them where I live. My girlfriend claims they're just frozen frosting, and I think she might have a point there. I like it though.
