IE 7 Humor

[TheAnimus]

funny thing is web developers seam to forget where they are in the line of things. They are generally bottom rung, with little or no understanding of proper program and make the back end people's life very hard, so much so i might be lucky enough to get a junket to prauge to sort out our webdevs! Most of the complaints are valid to a point.

The main reason ie6 has problems is age. It is virtually the same as it was over 5 years ago. Now people can moap about standards all they want, fact was in 2000 no one was using them. It was accepted that people would customise different platforms differently.

This is where web devs tend to come unstuck, money. Its about revenue. Why would an end user upgrade TODAY if it ment no extra features? Making life easyer for the web dev is hardly a worry they have, its not as if its remotely difficult anyway, it would just save time.

IE7 hasn't, understandly has this idea, it works, has extra features (phising filter). What does a consumer want? Someone telling them when their been a prat about to give out their ebay details, or something that makes life easyer for people they don't know, in a way they don't understand.

But also seriously, this isn't that funny, if someone registered a domain name of a product i made for the competition, i wouldn't be laughing. Fact is no one is going to ie7 to download it, so i don't see it different to someone buying internet-explorer-seven.info, only to me this seams like waste of a 3 letter .com!

If you use the Internet to vent your sly remarks then I recommend netiquette

That didn't come across as intended, however I still dont think its funny to any but the most fanboy type people.

Lol I haven't seem that before XD
Who here is a programmer of some kind and uses IE?
I personally think the people that know better wouldnt use IE.

if by programmer you mean something other than web dev, then most use IE, like most people on the net use IE.

One security flaw is all it takes, saying FF is safer than IE is like arguing if a lambo would last longer than a porcshe when both are left with its keys inside whilst been left unlocked on a street in the dark, in hackney.

As such most 'people that know better' run their browser as a restricted user.

Jesus Rollerskating Christ - everyone and his dog knows all about the differences between Firefox, IE and Opera, web standards, tabbed browsing and blah blah blahdi flippin' blah.... do we have to drag it up AGAAAAAAIIIIIN?!?!?!?!

*bangs heads together*

This thread started as a link to debatably humorous URL, not a "let's talk about why Microsoft are worse than famine, war and the Genesis reunion tour" so pur-LEASE get over it, just simply carry on using whichever web browser you're currently using... but for the sake of everyone's sanity don't dribble on and on and on about it because NO ONE ELSE CARES.

It's all about perspective here.

^^ point taken, it doesn't make a sack of difference who's using what, people just like to state which browser has superiority over the others, in the chance of conversion (in some way). At least thats how it comes across.

Currently I work full-time as a programmer, and I use FF.
