You'll see an error message on your screen saying "This program needs to close because it's a piece of shit."

I'm still annoyed that IE7 isn't totally backwards compatible w\ code written for IE6. Gotta download a fucking app to make the retarded remote WYSIWIG interface work at the office. Course, the interface is designed by a company that uploaded HUNDREDS of products to our live website w\ a pricetag of $0, so maybe the company is just idiotic.

How long has IE7 been out now?
It still crashes on a daily basis both here at work and if I have it running at home.
Worse yet, when it crashes it doesn't save anything about your session, so all the pages you're on are lost unless they're bookmarked. Firefox allows you to restore your session after it crashes saving you from having to track down where you were.
I so would love to have one day where I'd be allowed to visit Microsoft and give a presentation to their whole campus called "What the fuck are you doing?" or "You're supposed to program for the consumer, asshole."

See, I became numb to such ideals years ago. As my theatre teacher once said, "They've got you by the scrotum, and they know it."

Unfortunately, for some of us our job prevents such luxuries.
"They've got you by the scrotum, and they know it."
Their core audience yes, but not me. I have IE7 and use it for some surfing (mainly for reference sites like wiki, google, etc.), but my core surfing is done Firefox both at work and home.
IE7 locks up and/or crashes too much no matter what sites I have open on it. Last night at home it crashed loading up Yahoo's main page.
It is a complete piece of shit. Honestly, if I worked for Microsoft, I'd be embarrassed by it.

Long as it's the only option for some things, yes, they DO have you by the scrotum; no matter how much you despise the product, you are having it shoved down your throat w\ no alternative.
Sounds like "by the scrotum" to me.

What is there out there where IE7 is the only option?

If you write any web apps of any kind it needs to be tested in IE. You MUST support IE or the app is useless unless the user base is extremely limited & all have agreed never to use IE.

Well, that's a choice, isn't it, to support those users? You certainly don't have to. And doing so just furthers the Microsoft powerbase, right?

Sure, it's a choice not to support the browser that about 75% of the market uses. It's also a choice vote for a third-party candidate in the prez election.
Guess the overall impact on reality of both those decisions.

I wonder if both those sites are running the same banner ads.

My generic term for advertising on a webpage. Did you really not know what I meant, or were you being obtuse?
I've had fark hang on me because a particular ad couldn't load. For some reason fark wont display the page at all until the ads load.

I always think of banner ads as the ones on top. I guess I think of all others as just ads.
