Why in the hell can't everyone get together and write a fucking standards compliant browser. I'm all for progress, but not at the expense of things working properly. Recently I made some changes to the CSS code of the template for this blog. The code was taken from the W3C site which writes the book on standards compliance. No sooner did I finish said programming that I realized that everything is fucked up in Internet Explorer.
Microsoft is the king of bad programming practices. They refuse to play nice with anyone, when someone writes a set of rules for everyone to follow, they give us the one finger salute and do whatever the hell they want. As they have dominance on the desktop and in the browser market, they feel as though they can act with impunity, given that most end users are too ignorant to install a far superior browser.
So to all of you poor saps using IE, you have two options. One, switch to Firefox or one of the variants or live with the bitched blog page as I currently don't have the patience to root out why it works fine in Firefox and is totally fucked up on IE. I don't code to IE (haven't for years) and have no intention to do so in the future.
I'm fucking sick and tired of Microsloth acting like a school-yard bully. I can't wait for Apple to finish OS X for x86 so I can finally dump this craptacular operating system for a far more elegant and stable one.
One day I hope Billy boy gets his come-upance and has to face some real competion. That is the only way I see the 800lb gorilla that is Microsoft really change their practices and become a good citizen on the internet and in the marketplace.
I'm sure none of you care, but think of this the next time your PC mysteriously bombs on you for no reason.
