Attack of the killer IE zomboids
iustitia:
Very well done indeed Calum. I couldn't have said it better myself. However I would like to refer everyone to the De-moronizer. Being people with standardized browsers, I'm sure you all recognize that it looks as if some websites forget apostraphes and quotation marks from the website. This site gives a thorough explanation of how M$ Office products make you look like a MORON when you use their export to .html feature.

Calum why you being a bitch? i clicked on that link you gave and it started to pop up like 1000 IE windows all of them blank and would not stop, i had to actualy restart the friggin computer!

I couldn't get in either, although not because of pop-ups. The website took so damn long to load I said "fuck it" and gave up.

hmmm, yes well... i agree totally of course, but i think that morons are there to be educated. Anyway, they're not naturally stupid, just brainwashed. Somebody needs to help them get their brain dirty with thoughts again, and if they still choose to run with the pack, they can get slaughtered come autumn. Sorry, running away into metaphor land, but i just mean that some of those drongos think M$ invented the internet, if they find out otherwise, they might try and learn for themselves. I was a hapless drongo until relatively recently myself, so i don't have any real disdain for people who know nothing. People who deliberately insist on being a dumbass however...

My feelings exactly.

These guys are so moronic that it scares me.
I wrote a long anti-M$ pro-linux rant.(At least, long for me, anything longer than 2 paragraphs is long for me ;)

I wanted very much to do the same, but I couldn't because the site was way too slow.

Reversing you're opinion there are you Calum?
Anyway, I am quite surprised by the posts by X11 and chaos. I thought this was an eradication site! How can you possibly expect to eradicate by doing nothing and saying things like they don't deserve Mozilla. If we do a post enlightening the ignorants, then we might convert someone off IE. M$ survives off duping people to think that IE is good because it has it's own standard. The less people use IE, the more of an outcry there will be for M$ to start using the w3c standard. The action of giving in to the standard would consequentially weaken their monopoly on the industry. It's quite logical. I'm begining to think that were it not for people like calum and interscope, this site would be just a bunch of people bitching about how bad things are that never strived to improve the condition.

i do alot to help with people useing linux, /*atleast i try*/, i converted one of my friends, if anyone asks a unix/linux related question i try to respond as best as i can. i give free tech support to alot of neighbors and friends. i was merily commenting that it is another voting board that most people won't even go to. however since i heard there are alot of votes for internet exploiter i think i might go and vote for mozilla, and didn't i say that mozilla under windows is still better then IE, i tell alot of people that i know this information,
thanks for noticeing however
Calum:
iustitia, good comments!
the reason that page takes so long to load up is because all the posters have got huge graphics in their signatures.
Also, i wasn't changing tack, just having a dig at XP Loser there! :D
I agree re" eradication, as soon as people develop an elitist attitude, there's no point continuing, it just becomes a farce.

OK people here's my experiance with other browsers other than IE.
As some may know I use IE for work, after it crashed my comp today I finally gave in and thought ok lets download a different one and fuck what the company says.
So first I download Opera, 11meg with java.
Install it and like the look (reminds me of when I was using a Mac)
So time to test a webpage, I go to the first website which is one I spend all day refreshing and reading the msg board. http://www.redmoon-europe.com for anyone intrested. And it doesn't work, get the BROWSER WARNING website best viewed with Internet Explorer or Netscape.
So this one is no good.
Next Mozilla.
Download 10meg
Install it not 2 keen on the look but thats not much to worry about.
Not one webpage will load up including there own homepage.
I am on a network and connect to the internet through WinGate. So I don't know if this is the problem, but I had previously set Opera up through WinGate and that could access the internet.
So again that ones no good.
So next I think ok I'll download Netscape, even though I have never been keen on Netscape, I thought they may have changed since I last used them. And it should work on my redmoon website.
Download the package. 215kb thinking wow thats small, but then of course it has to download the components for the website 11meg.
This would not be a problem normally however as I previously stated I connect through WinGate and I can't set WinGate up to allow the application to have internet access. So can't use netscape.
No point downloading any others now, cos I still won't be able to access Redmoon.
Granted this is not a problem with opera rather a problem with Redmoons website. But I can only imagine there are other website out there where I will run into the same problems.
Calum:
there is a very simple solution to your opera problem. you go into the Preferences menu, this is in a different place in different versions of Opera. On the mac with Opera 5 you would go to Edit>Preferences>Network i think, but on windows with Opera 6 i think it is File>Preferences>Network
Anyway, it's in Preferences somewhere, and you can choose to have your browser identify as Opera, or Mozilla (3 versions to pick from) or IE. The default is IE (which is very dumb) so you probably already found this if you got a message saying 'Use IE'. Anyway, i find that most sites think you are netscape if you set it to identify as one or other of the mozilla settings.
This will enable you to view any sites that allow netscape, which is most.
This is a feature that many other bigname browsers do not have, and i like it a lot. The other top thing about opera is you can toggle to load, show, or switch off images right from the toolbar. Good for a site like this where you load images for the first couple of pages, then select show to stop it loading the same images over again.
