  1. ISP mandates IE on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 1

    The worst case I've come across of forcing users to use IE is the wireless modem configuration software that comes on the Woosh install CD. You have to use IE with flash just to set your user/pass. I had to borrow a friends windoze box to get online and again every time there is a firmware upgrade. Once set up its okay since I can plug it into a router doing PPPoE.

  2. Re:I'm confused on Governments & Open Source · · Score: 1

    Truely misrepresented by its headline. Nandor has many times in the past praised OSS and advocated its use in government with well reasoned and thoughtful comment. He and I believe the rest of the NZ Green party are among the most technical savvy politicians we have in this country. They certainly demonstrate this in any interviews I've seen.

    Microsoft shill may even be a compliment for the author of TFA who is listed in the NBR contacts page as their webmaster. Hardly an authority. The fact that a niche business rag also uses their HTML practitioner to write their technical column reveals the quality of their overall standard of journalism. (Apologies to other webmasters without slanted political columnist aspirations)
