IE vs. NE : An Epic Battle.

Posted by VigilantPsyche on May 25, 2008, 8:08 a.m.

As I add more and more features to my site, its becoming harder to keep Internet Explorer's incompetence under wraps. The thing is a joke, seriously, I used to think people were just being pretentious when they went on and on about firefox, but IE doesn't really interpret about half of CSS correctly! Its actually quite shocking how such a terrible program is so widely used:

Anyway what else? Yes, my final high school exams are finished. I finally get to unload a massive amount of useless information: What is a NC-MOSFET, this poem, line for line (http://www.diacenter.org/prg/poetry/87_88/heaney1.html ), how to optimize area… All of which I will undoubtedly never use again.

To be honest its a little depressing; we could become so much more were our time in these damn class rooms better spent.

On a brighter note now that the exams are finished a group of my friends and I are planning to have what has been described as a "hot tub party". I am a little worried though, what with one of my male friends tendency to nude up at parties. That would seriously not be cool. ._.

But I figured that a large amount of you haven't read up to this part so as a little experiment I'm going to put "you all suck!" here and calculate the percentage of comments that reference this terrible insult just for funsies.

Other things, purple belt shotokan grading in three weeks, no school for two, still trying to learn japanese, writing flash apps for NE.

I'm off to watch Pulp Fiction, sayonara.

I've always wondered how we've come to decide what 'properly' is in terms of webpage rendering. It's like, one day W3C said "Hey guys, guess what? We're right." and everyone else was just like, "Yeah."

Are you kidding?

The W3C are the guys who write the specifications for HTML, among other things, and was founded by the man who created the web. These are the guys who created HTML, so no they didn't just one day say "we're right", they've said it from the very beginning.

OL saves the day.

And Vigilant, just because people don't refer to your "You suck" comment, doesn't mean they didn't read the blog. Maybe they'd rather converse about web standards?
