haha. at least your school still doesn’t use IE6.

What would be useful is an effective method to find if you are using IE6, and showing a link right on top saying “Does this page look broken?” that goes to a page with an image of the IE symbol crossed off in red, and links to firefox, ie7 and opera or whatever on the side of it.

even the big sites dont support those older browsers anymore much

Indeed, my school insists on using IE7. I’ve pushed for the use of Firefox or Opera, but they won’t do it, probably out of fear of some of the more computer-savvy in the school. To be honest, it seems like the IT guys have little idea what they’re doing anyway.

Security note anyone doesn’t already know: If you don’t use IE as your primary browser, disable whatever options you can. It’s a giant gateway to security hell, even if you don’t use it.

Mmm. People actually have to be told to stop using IE. That makes me sad. It’s rather sad that people use something that Microsoft uses in order to keep tabs on them.

In case you didn’t know, IE is hard-coded into the Windows kernel. They use it to keep tabs on you that way they know what you’re doing, and that’s how they decide to use Palladium to get into your system, and say, “Hey, let’s shut down his NIC,” or the like.

Why is it that people even use Windows to begin with? Oh well.

So yeah. IE is evil. Unless you like having an unfixable hole in your system that allows people to monitor what you have within it.

Every time you use IE a developer cries…
