What a monkey. And when I do use Opera, its (a) in German - sheesh. (b) has content of no use to anyone. The humanity!!!

Only as dumb as those idiot webmasters that dump you to a similar page because you're not using IE on a Windows O/S. * yes, I have come across these on occasion, thankfully they are not as commonplace as they used to be *

I can levitate birds...I agree, it's pretty dumb to dump anybody to a page like the one mentioned just because they aren't using your preferred browser. If the website is designed good then most of the content should be fairly browser independent anyway.

Granted, I don't speak what ever language that is, but I hardly think this site stands any chance what so ever of "crushing" Microsoft. I had a bigger chuckle at this page than I did the MS rant.

Well, Opera can be set to report itself as MSIE, but that didn't work. I really didn't try hard either. I am getting close to switching to Opera just because I am so damn sick of all the popups. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

This is the type of person, who probably winges about Betamax. Yes Betamax was technically better - or was it - it could not have a 120min or 2 hour tape format initially. Netscape was good, until IE got better. We still have Netscape 4.5 on the install at work, and it looks and feels awful compared to IE. Opera, has some good points(I'm a fan of the MDI/SDI & MDI combo, as well as the gestures), but there are come clear advantages IT has, its clean, unclutered and fast. Sorry am I ranting. I like a good rant. I'll rant at anybody who replies to my messages. :-D Sorry, Giles

No dynamic view does not work. But it does seem more stable than 6.03, i.e. it hangs less often!

I have never seen Opera. Seems like a good candidate to rant about. :-D I like the Phoenix browser, despite some internationalization issues. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

Opera 6 is great. Really, its got lots of the little things that make the experience better. e.g. (1) mouse gestures (a little wiggle is all it takes) (2) MDI windows in a nice way. (3) Open Link in backround. (4) rerhesh page envery (30 secs, 1 min, .... 60 min) The new version 7, while looking better, its slower. It seems to stall every now and again. I keep hearing about Phoenix. Must give it a try.

I'm using Proxomitron. It's just a matter of choosing which User Agent it's sending to the site. And guess what? It's an empty page. I see dumb people
