Comment Lots of intrest, little time (Score 1) 124

A great initiative it is indeed,
but what about all of us that do not have consistent time to spend on a course even though we would love to follow it. even if that means not receiving the note from the teacher to say you passed this course in such and so way... still being allowed to take the exams for your own interest, I know for a fact that I don't have 8 hours a week for homework, but could sqeez out 3 maybe 4 if I push it (and of course there will be the occasional week-end 8 hour marathon run), these courses could as a next step be provided as open lectures without time limitation?

Even Better...
I in many searches can find what I need from google's brief content summary, like e.g. phone numbers, exchange rates, in rare cases calculator results, etc...
Which would make this research completely useless, if you find what you need on the search page, why click to go into the website...

Yes because you can always include something like

Dear valued customer, we regret that the browser you are using does not adhere to web standards and is not capable of handling all the great things this website has to offer, May we advise you to download a browser instead of an explorer. Any choice will do really as it seems that only Microsoft is incompetent enough to adhere to world wide web standards. we suggest a browser like Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Safari. This will not only greatly improve your internet experience but will also protect you against allot of Virus & Malware treats. We hope to see you again soon with a browser of your choice.
if you continue browsing on this page with your current browser you may experience incorrect page behaviour.


maybe leave some of the anti microsoft speak out of it but you get the pickture

it was AGAIN penetrated with an allegedly similar attack.

This is not true, The secondary attack was just resetting passwords from users that did not reset their password yet, made possible by the data stolen (email & date of birth) from PSN hack earlier. I saw this comming the second I read sony would force every user to change their password on first logon.

Revolution needs to start somewhere, If we (web developers) don't do anything about it, it will never change. I was able to convince my employer to drop support for IE6&7 , and I urge every developer out there to do the same. I'm convinced that if you show a message to the user saying you dropped support due to lack of security and capabilities and present them with another browser that will improve their experience (even if that is IE9) & this being done collectively we can finally rid this world of IE6. Oh and I believe examples should be taken from Chrome on their update behaviour, it would solve many malware/virus/etc... issues, most users don't like updating their browser+plugins when they start up their browser! when I start it up that means I need information, not an update so I close the update screen and maybe i'll do it a bit later already leaving me exposed for the time being...
