I'm really serious about this... I'm not kidding...
The web community should start flooding the bug reporting for the IE beta with reports about CSS and XHTML/HTML standards non-compliance. Anything IE 7 does that isn't in line with web standards should be reported as a bug, by as many people as possible. And we should keep reporting these, daily, until the IE team wakes up to web standards and decides to support them.
Then, webmasters can make one version of the website that works in all modern browsers. Oh happy day. The IE team won't have to worry about supporting the weird IE quirks... people who haven't upgraded and are still using IE 6 will continue getting the same hacks that fix IE 6 and are ignored by Firefox et al, and IE 7 can ignore them just the same.
Seriously... it's best for everybody.
What's really going to piss me off is when they "fix" the hacks but not the non-compliance... AND on top of it they support some CSS 3 stuff in a non-standard way so we can go through this all over again when IE 8 comes out.
What if there was a *significant* cosmic x-ray and magnetic event? Would that one-two punch be able to destroy all film and magnetic storage on the planet? Good reason to keep paper copies of things around. Pressed CD/DVD-ROMs should be fine after such an event though, right? How about CD/DVD-WORMs (CD/DVD-R)?
Maybe the level of x-rays needed to destroy film on the planet would kill all life anyway? Supposedly you can pass developed film through an x-ray machine just fine at the airport?
Why would they refuse based on the first amendment? It was the cops trying to search, so shouldn't they be refusing based on the right-to-privacy / search-and-seisure amendments??

That's why I also google a few other random zip codes along with my own, just to keep them guessing.

Oh jesus... now instead of "make a beowulf cluster of those" its "make a case mode out of that."

Can somebody explain?
