Part of me agrees with your "works of art" comment. The other part of me says "let the designers design, that way I don't have to".
I've had sIFR suggested to me before (not by a desinger, but a manager/sales type person). I had never heard of it, but after doing a bit of research, I refused. There have already been some comments here about Flash being bad, so I won't get into that, as I didn't with this manager who wanted sIFR. My refusal was based on performance for those who choose to allow flash content in their browsers. One can only attempt to auto-generate and spit out so much flash before the site is a fat pig and doesn't load well for anybody (broadband connection or not).
Usually I just try to encourage the designers I work with to acutally learn CSS. They usually forget about crap like sIFR after that.
...anyone who is cured might want to help humanity...
I agree. Anyone who is cured would and should want to help. I got the impression from TFA, however, that this particular individual doesn't believe he was cured. The only logical reason I can see that he would want to sue is that he believes that the first test that showed him as HIV positive was the result of some kind of error on the part of the lab.
He mentions being depressed and suicidal afterwards. Assuming that the company who tested him was at fault for a false positive result, I can see him being very angry about the entire situation.
There is, of course, no proof that I'm aware of to validate that position, but if we're going to speculate on this guy's motives, it can't hurt to speculate from any side we can think of....
Under Windoze, Options has been under Tools since before it was even called Firefox. The only versions that had it under Edit were the *nix ones.
I can see the argument for both sides. It kind of makes sense in either place. I'm just glad they standardized it for both platforms.
