Its just a case of make fun of the big bank. I switched to wells fargo because they have their act together with online banking and lots of ATMs out west. local small bank tried to double ATM fees on my and they have only 2 ATMs in the world. sorry but no.
We don't care anymore. You can't forever keep using the excuse that users are tied to their corporate internet and must use IE6. I'll say it again WE DON'T CARE.
"I can now state unequivocally that this is not the result of the satellite collision. The meteor is moving far too quickly for that; satellite collision debris would fall at perhaps 10 km/sec max, while incoming meteoroids are moving at 11km/sec at a minimum, and this thing is screaming across the sky at several dozen km/sec (assuming itâ(TM)s at a typical meteor height of 50 or more km). So I was probably right in the first place, and what we have here is almost certainly a single object, perhaps a meter or two across, and it came from deep space"
oh cmon, all they would have to do is test in firefox and it would surely work in safari. its just the idiots who sniff for IE for no reason or who use EVIL active x that we hate.
You know, as a web developer I like to keep it around for testing - since its been frozen in time for awhile - it lets you see how new CSS will look in an old browser or for OS9 users. Most of the time its very readable - much more so than Netscape 4.7 and there are STILL people who use that atrocity! heck my stats show a few NS 4 and IE 4 users every month - damn them - they just see pure crap - makes me look bad - but I gave up supporting anything older than IE 5 - just too much trouble.
holy crap you guys are paranoid. javascript is pretty benign and to have to whitelist sites is hugely annoying, even if it takes only 10 seconds. that can add up to hours worth of time every year!:)
that being said i do code my javascript menus so that you can still navigate with no js, it just requires an extra page refresh (which can also add up to hours over the course of a year). i haven't gone so far as to code slideshows without js - too painful waiting for refreshes even on fast connections (heck even on localhost).
No no no. JavaScript has come a long way - look at google maps and gmail - are you going to turn it off for this rare bug? perhaps if you visit lots of porn sites you might need it off...
So I checked out tonybove.com - its like late 90's code - 22 errors at w3.org on the front page alone - and just plain scary looking. Get off the crack man!
While this particular use of the canvas tag might be overkill - it has proved very useful to me (I wrote an OS X widget to graph river flows from USGS using canvas). Its another way to move more stuff to the client to make the browser more like a real ap (google maps comes to mind). Anyway I would say it has huge potential for graphing rather than using the server to create a gif or png. I limited it to a dashboard widget so I wouldn't get complaints from IE users.

Of course if you want to sell your car eventually don't make it pink.

Yeah the obligatory complaint about those 30% or so that keep using 6 (according to my stats). Maybe with 8 out 7 will become the 6.
IE6 has been a curse on web developers for 8 years. Thats like 80 human years. It must die a swift death.
