IE6 is still "relevant"

nope, i refuse to support it on every site, even when it's easy to do so (like modifying XMLhttprequest for AJAX stuff)

i refuse to perpetuate that ****

this is the only rational stance to take

Actually we are also lucky enough not to have to support anything below IE7 either. But I imaging a lot of companies still have proprietary software that will only run on IE6.

such companies deserve the same fate as ie6 imo

very popular in asia and nowhere else?

lol

'nother quick question: the ipad2 has a nice feature call white on black, which basically inverts colors, giving a night theme to the whole device, but also to webpages. i'm interested in finding a program that can do this for win7 -- either globally for the whole device, or just a firefox plugin that would work on web pages. nothing i've found so far really fits the bill.

i don't want to have to tweak every individual page (eg, what i want can be accomplished with stylish, but it's way too much work).

any ideas?

e i pi: You should build your site in assembly language. That way, when you become successful, you can hire in whatever language you want and compile down accordingly.

if you build a site using ASM i think google will pay quite a bit for your services

just screenshot it and invert in paintshop or whatever image program you like?

If you want "live view", it's pretty simple to write a little script to capture a window, invert and paint to another with BitBlt on windows. on Linux there's bound to be a compiz plugin to invert windows or the whole display

While I hate supporting IE6, I hate it even more when my website looks like garbage. Bear minimum, I want to have the front page look consistent across browsers. Beyond that, you can always provide a link to where users can download chrome frame

i cant tell if you are kidding or misunderstood me lol?

i want to browse the web like that, not just get screenshots.....

Microsoft on ie6:

They even give you a javascript code to help you.

Friends don’t let friends use Internet Explorer 6. And neither should acquaintances. Educate others about moving off of Internet Explorer 6.

oh on first read I guessed you were developing, and wanted to check if all looked good for ipad users with white on black lol, all the recent talk of PHP and IE6 I guess.

in that case, on compiz there's a plugin for that. Mac I presume there is something silmilar, especially with it being available on ipad anyway.

on Windows, you need nvidia for this method:

I saw somebody ask about Linux Mint earlier - I used it for about a year. It was decent, and the UI was > Ubuntu. I had to switch back to Windows (damn IE).

About PHP: Still completely relevant. The only people that don't realize that are the ridiculous snobs that switch languages every 6 months. You can write good code in PHP, just like you can write bad code in python (or any other language). The only reason there's so much bad PHP code out there is the number of bad programmers using it.

Im currently trying Kubuntu and it didnt start out well. All fonts were huge, like 48pt or something.. Had to add a few lines in the xorg.conf to fix it. It bothered me alot though, so currently Kubuntu is on probation. One more thing like that and its out..

I have very low tolerance for OS that I have to constantly tweek. Or as with ubuntu that went and destroyed itself with unity, and the new Gnome isnt much better... I dont want to spend an hour trying to find something that before I could find in 5 seconds. </rant>

I think we caught a bit of crap from the company we're working for in Australia because they had a lot of it in-house still and we don't support it.

Royal mail are a bunch of bumbling idiots. I sent a recorded delivery to my old place of work, they *claimed* they never received it and I didn't believe them. Got a phone call last night from some random guy who says he got my letter wtf is it about. So some random guy now has my details and details about a financial dispute with my old job.

Also in the morning I received a return from Royal mail, inside was a letter to a credit agency from some guy I've never heard of. In his letter was his entire cheque book, bank statements, NI numbers and a hand written letter.

The crazy thing is that he lives down a road I'm visiting tonight in NE London (22 miles away from me). Also the other crazy thing is the post mark on the letter is dated on my birthday, August 15th.

Wtf is going on

gulll,

any chance you are unknowingly part of an international espionage ring?

Or the Marix?

Now that this forum isn't a playground anymore, I keep ending up in the new one. This whole time I've been going to the last link under Other Topics on the sidebar and clicking it blindly.

I just noticed it there, when did that happen? haven't been reading the mod forum obviously.

awesome idea for a new playground forum too, I wonder how it will work in practice.

awesome! must have happened today or yesterday

microsoft vs ibm
java vs .net
b&m vs m&b
