I am a web designer by trade. I love Internet Explorer. It rocks my world. Everything looks so nice in it. I also, by the way, love to develop in PHP and hate Flash.
I hate Netscape - this article was written by Jim Clarke who co-founded it. To me, this article is akin to Mohammad Omar writing about how no one likes Taliban Afghans anymore.
People dropped Netscape like an anvil in a WB cartoon in the late 90's because it simply an ugly, awful piece of software. Netscape 4.x is NOT a version 4 browser. It supports only a tiny fraction of HTML 4. Trying to do anything with Style Sheets in Netscape 4.x is like trying to do drag race in a Robin Reliant
Then there of course was Netscape 6.0, which was at least HTML 4 compliant, but was as stable as Norman Bates.
Only a while ago, Netscape 6.2 came out, and this was FINALLY something I would consider using as my default browser. But I had already switched to IE, and had no need to go back. At any rate, why would I want an old version of Mozilla packed to the sky with AOL propaganda?.
When I develop sites, I make sure they work in Mozilla/Netscape 6.2+, IE 5+ (Mac/PC) and even though it pains me, Netscape 4+.
The reason Netscape lost the browser war is not because of the Microsoft Evil Empire. Well partially - but the nail in the coffin was the fact that when IE 5 came out, the best that Netscape could manage was something like Netscape 4.72.
Most users don't care what they use, the have no real software political agenda - they just know what they like, and what they don't like. And users just didn't like Netscape. I remember the vehement attack my own Mother launched on Netscape after using IE for the first time (after using Netscape 4 for a few years)... "my goodness, Netscape is really AWFUL!! I am so glad I've got Internet Explorer now!".
OK, I like Buffy. I think Giles would make a great Who, I just hope the script is OK.
Did anyone see the American version of Red Dwarf? My god that was bad.
Doesn't Entertainment mean "fun" and "enjoyment"?
The RIAA are sucking the soul out of entertainment with stuff like this. Next they'll probably try to introduce indoctrination into primary schools, so we'll end up with the next generation feeling guilty if they even hear a song whilst walking down the street and they haven't payed their relevent royalties to the artists.
Woah - but what about the porn?

I can't believe someone put that all together... 4442x2900 pixels, ouch.
I can't help but think how much bigger it'd be though if they incorporated all the porn bulkmailers... such as the the ones in Kansas with the barnyards and all the animals... uh oh.
As well, I can't see the University Diplomas spammers on their either...
Hmmm... www.hotsexynakeddodgyphotos.com could get banned. But what about URL spoofing? E.g. hotsexynakeddodgyphotos@porn.com ?
On a similar note, I really have to say I'm disturbed by what seems to be a new trend in spam/pop ups - "rape" photos. The other day at astalavista.box.sk I got a pop up that loaded up galleries all about rape - it was very unsettling.
As well, most the spam I get now has "rape" in the title. The way it's written though I'm wondering if whoever is writing it really knows what it means - they are obviously not native English speakers.
Take the following situation: A certain web server product has a security hole.
Is it open source? "Believe it or not, reports that XXX has a certain vulnerability. Amazing, we could hardly believe it. We had tested the vulnerability TEN TIMES before running this story...".
Is it NOT open source, and perhaps even made by a certain larger corporation? "HAH! More reports that XXX is an absolute joke, about as secure as a plastic bag. The l4m3rs at XXX corp took three YEARS to produce a patch, which is now available. The vulnerability this time allows you to take over the sysadmin's computer if he/she is playing mine sweeper..."
That said of course I would use Apache over IIS anyday:)

...it'll probably be in my letterbox any day now!
Successful scramjet tests, crazy Japanese rocket flops - I don't know what the refugees are complaining about, look at all the entertainment they get!
They'll brainwash a young, good looking but stupid Microsoft employee it KILL the Malaysian Prime Minister when he hears the song "Relax"!
It's all so simple...
Who was using Napalm, Agent Orange and phosphorous not so many years ago?
Let's not forget the thousands of Iraqis that were bulldozed over with sand in the Gulf War by the US.
War is about killing (although maming is often more efficient), simple as that.
Hmmm, now I think of it, I guess this would be kinda like burning ants with a magnifying glass - except it'd be burning Iraqis with an F-35and not very original either - maybe it should call Microsoft tech support instead.
hold the CD still, then have the reader spin around real fast? I guess the laser might get distorted though...
... at least we know that bevels are safe.
Drop shadows too!
I did a site once where if the first name was "Bruce" it would say "G'Day" instead of "Welcome"... (Yes, I'm Australian)
This is a very safe car compared to the other new Volvo which runs Windows Millennium... (har! another priceless Microsoft joke).

They come for Haggis.
Does anyone here know what Haggis smells like after being heated up in the Microwave...
I'm gonna be sick now.
I have seen these around for a while in Australia. The first one I saw in Melbourne in January, the second in Perth at my university.
In the article it mentions they are superior quality to home burners - I wouldn't have thought there was a difference..?
I hope they use Lego. If their budget permits, maybe even Star Wars lego.
