It’s amazing all the time I waste writing the CSS styles for IE6 and now IE8.

I don’t know who originally said it, but this applies to blog post: “There is no shortage of men who will defend the indefensible.”

found the entry the other day on a friend of yours blog.
You’re so right about this, we should give contest to the browser war.
By the way, i’m not even updated on the shares, i just don’t give a damn anymore about ie6, and i think most of people during 2008-2009 set on this mood, we finally saw the light knowing Win7 was on time, and we all see HTML5 moving so fast… and i think that because of that we are all running faster

OMG! IE8 is even worser then IE6!!!!! I’m working on a site for a client and I thought well lets check it in IE8. Result: Loads of script conflicts (such as PNG Alpha transparency in combination with jQuery opacity statements) and heaps of display problems. I’ve tried to look for a png fix such as the ones for IE6 and came to the conclusion…. THERE IS NOT ONE!!!!!

AND NOW COMES IT!!!!.

I’ve checked all the sites that I made over the last 2 years in IE8 and I was shocked to see that they all have major issues regarding usability, display and functionality.
After cursing for an hour or so and wishing Bill Fucking Gates everything what we don’t want to have, I really don’t know how I’m going to explain my former clients that I need days and in some cases even, weeks, to solve all the issues and that they have to pay for me to do so while actually BILL FUCKING GATES have to pay me for that.

Seriously, I know that I as a web developer can’t ignore Internet Explorer, because there are still too many end users stuck with the shitiest browser on earth, but deep in my Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc, HEARTH… I WISH I COULD!

Comment on Techie on the Go? Try These Mobile Travel Tips… by Jan Viklund

Reservations via Text (restxt.com) combines several of the steps you listed in a free service that works on any cellphone/PDA in the US or Canada.

You get a relay e-mail address at restxt.com that you can give to any airline, hotel, or rental car, and the service will automatically send you a condensed SMS travel summary and a full copy e-mail, so you don’t need to divulge your wireless phone number.

Or, you can forward your existing reservation to your e-mail@restxt.com and the service will condense your reservation into a text message copy.

Unlike the services you mentioned, this doesn’t collect your reservations into a “honeypot” of data that can be hacked, and it works on any regular mobile phone with text messaging — TripIt and others are for smartphones.

My elderly mom went to college in NC with a Deloris Fullman, and right before my Mom went into a nursing home, right out of the blue, she said “Deloris was studying music, singing, very serious, always practicing. I wonder what became of her.” So, if your mom is named Deloris, my mom Kendall says hello! Katy–and you write very well, and I hope you find your perfect mate soon. I’m happily married at 54, so it’s not me!

You’re using the resasons why IE6 is a bad browser to excuse it from it’s flaws. Truth be told, it’s a bad browser. The reasons can be anything you want them to be: the times, the pressure for the developers, the lack of competition. You can even put on the table the good things IE6 has done; but in the end, it is a very bad browser.

Why is it hated? Because of that. It’s just not right. Yes, it’s Microsoft fault for not updating their browser for so many years and forcing developers to work with a pretty outdated product. If you were a web developer and you were forced to work with an outdated PHP and/or mySQL version when you have much better, updated version of the same thing, you’d hate that too.

We hate it for being plain wrong, and the reasons I do understand, but they are no excuse for a bad browser.
