Good troll kid, but IE displays their own standards AND W3C standard pages properly. A hint... if you know what you're talking about before you troll, you're more effective.
It might be I got misunderstood earlier, and that one was definetly a typo.
Anyhow, my main point has to be that when I design web-sites, I (now) use Opera as my starting point. If everything looks perfectly in Opera, it requires quite a bit of knob-turning before it works properly both in Opera and IE. Several times I've had to redesign entire pages because IE does not support it the way standards are designed.
Of course, this works the other way as well. Once, when I was young and ignorant, I used IE as my starting point, designing pages that worked in Opera and other browsers as well, were a pain in the ***. I then sat down, re-learned the basics of HTML, this time with the W3C standards as a guide, and now the pages I design work well in most browsers. (I haven't had the time to rewrite my current homepage to support Opera)
I mainly learnt HTML through use of FrontPage (yes, now I know that it sucks), and this was a very bad starting point. It "learns" you HTML code that is entirely bad, but try explaining *that* to someone who is new to programming.
It seems to me that most web-sites design their pages to run well with IE, and IE only. I've been using Opera steadily for the last two years or so, and I am extremely impressed with it's features and the usability.
Opera *is* fast, no questions there. I have measured the download times on sites between IE and Opera, and this is a definitive fact.
Opera does follow the W3C standards, in contradiction to IE, which most likely won't display W3C-standard pages properly.
Opera is one of the products that I would recommend. At the moment, I am at school, and here we have IE. It crashes constantly. Opera is rock stable on the single computer I've installed it on.
Borland has something that should be an exciting alternative. It is portable, meaning that if you buy both Borland Delphi and Borland Kylix, you can compile the same code for both Windows and Linux platforms.
I can't say for sure that it supports all the features that was mentioned, (since I haven't had the need to use all those features,) but I've seen a lot of them in use. As far as design is concerned, Delphi rocks. You can check out Borland Delphi here, and Borland Kylix here. Personal editions are available for free.
The "problems" with AI

Well, most people can't see that focusing on one field is most certainly the wrong way to go, and this is confirmed by the major researchers in AI. If we are able to create an AI that could learn from examples, then you could train it to do almost everything. You could teach it to read, to recognize pictures, etc. The problem is, for each rule you define, there will have to be several exceptions. One would have to write a very short piece of code for this to work, and then train the AI for a few years to see the results.
Well, I've been hanging around on some IRC channels for a few years now, and when I started using the Internet, I knew nobody that used IRC. Now I know a whole bunch of people, mostly thanks to "less-populuar IRC channels", and this mostly contradicts what you are saying, that "They tend to suffer from the fact that many people know each other in person already, or are invited by someone already in that group". This is wrong.
When people have learned to use IRC (at least, this is what I did, I assume people do somewhat similar things) I visited channels like #delphi, because I was interested in Delphi. Later, I found a channel called #delphi.no, and now I hang there everyday. I've come to know many of the people that hangs in that channel, and I can't say I knew any of the from before.
The use of the Internet as a communications medium isn't as bad as many people seem to think, it helps you get in touch with people that likes the same things as you do.
When I was first introduced to the concept of MP3s, years back, the only way that I knew of ripping them was using a stereo-jack cable from the headphone-connector on my CD-ROM drive, and connecting it to the line-in on my sound card. It took a lot of work making it sound OK, but many of the MP3s I created that way had OK quality. How could 'copy protection' possibly prevent people from taking their stereo equipment, that is able to play the 'copy-protected' CD, connect it to their computer, using their stereo-jack-cable. Then they could simply record the songs they wanted, and *whoops*, you have a MP3 of the 'copy-protected' songs. When this MP3 reaches the net, it spreads extremely quickly.
My point has to be that there is no such thing as copy-protection, and it amazes me that none of the bigger labels are able to comprehend that simple fact.
I have been using Borland Delphi for some years now, and this has to be the ultimate programming language available.
It allows both the creation of command-line tools, as well as full-blown GUI applications. Borland also has a version of Delphi for Linux, called Kylix, and programs written using Delphi should port seamlessly to Kylix.

Information: The guy who wrote the database, was a person named Reidar Djupedal. Surprised of the password now?
But now you are too late, like the rest of us. The password has already been cracked, and so there is no "reward" anymore.
... and Norwegians make fun of Swedes... Somehow it does not complete the circle... :)
