On: Update on Standards and CSS in IE7

This question has been answered several times. As it seems, Opera renders it mostly correctly (significantly better than FireFox), and their reps say they're working on passing it completely. Safari passes it now, but the version that does isn't available yet. The same goes for Konqueror (I think).

On: Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro

It actually stands for Windows Future Storage, not Windows File System, and is not a filesystem, but instead a 'plugin', of sorts, to NTFS.

On: Opera to Stop Spoofing User Agent as IE

I think browsers use a different string (HTTP-Accept) to say what they support. User-Agent is just to say which browser it is.

Re:Score calculation hidden...

On: Rate Your IM Popularity

They don't really say how they calculate the score, do they? "Your score is relative to other AIM users?" What the hell does that mean? Why isn't it just the number of third-degree connections, what's wrong with using that number?

They do say how they calculate the score, and it does use the number of third-degree connections. Right on aimfight.com, if you click "What is AIMFight?", the second FAQ answer is:

Your score is the sum of the current number of people online who have you listed as a buddy, out to three degrees.

On: MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7

Why can't there be some Firefox extension that puts a button somewhere so that if a web site seems to be fucked up, clicking the button sends an email to webmaster@siteyouarelookingat.com complaining about their lack of compliance to standard?

FireFox 1.1 (Well, at least Deer Park Alpha 1) currently does something similar to this.

On: MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7

Well, in PHP, it's easy.

<?
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera') === false) {
?>
<b>Warning:</b> You are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.
This browser is notorious for its inability to comply with W3C
standards. In other words, IE sucks.<br /><br />
So what should you do? We reccomend you install <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/"
target="_blank" >Mozilla FireFox</a> instead.
<?
}
?>

Replace the stuff between '{ ?>' and '<? }' with whatever you like.
