Post by: jnesselr on August 08, 2011, 04:38:12 pm: It's depressing too, when you develop the best looking website ever, load it on IE, go to your boss, and say "yeah, I need to extend the deadline by a few months... wait, make that years."

What do you mean "bad"? ??? Internet Explorer is a perfect example of the brilliant coding prowess associated with a Ballmer's peak.

Title: Re: Save IE6!
Post by: imo_inx on August 09, 2011, 12:50:41 pm: Here's how IE works: Takes 10 min. to initialize, Takes 10 min. to come out of unresponsive, and then you take ten minutes realizing how stupid you were to open it in the first place, Takes ten minutes to come out of unresponsive again and then takes 20 minutes closing and crashing your lovely new computer. ;D

Multiply the times by sixteen and add an eternity, and you have How Vista Works!

Any browser that make TVTropes the default homepage dies quickly from lawsuits.

Nah, businesses will just ban it, which will increase its market share.

Post by: flyingfisch on August 29, 2011, 02:46:56 pm: Here's how to make the best version of ie.

1. right click on firefox's (or opera's) shortcut.
2. click properties
3. Click "change icon..."
4. find ie's icon. (if that's possible)
5. click ok and rename to "Internet Explorer Never (ever, ever)"

LOL

IE9 is out and "better" than ever! (Seriously?)

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 05, 2011, 04:18:48 am: Yeah when you start trying to make a site work in every browser, this is when you realize IE9 still has a long way to go (although it became much better)
Title: Re: Save IE6!
Post by: Deep Toaster on October 08, 2011, 11:48:14 am: I've found bugs in IE9 that didn't appear in any previous version of IE (and of course not in any other browser) :P

But the sad thing is how many people still use IE6 (even according to Microsoft (http://www.ie6countdown.com/)) :(

Post by: Jonius7 on October 19, 2011, 08:27:25 am: Our only hope for IE6 is to turn to China. China still has >50% users of IE6. We must encourage people to own pirated copies of Windows XP and be negligent in Windows Update in order to resurrect this dying beast. SAVE IE6!

On the trololol note: Someone should write a browser in lolcode. With a few extra libs it could become a legitimate alternative to perl.

I REALLY NEED the zip for it.
