The rest of the arab world being succesful in rooting out the state of Israel (very unlikely, but at least theoretically possible) would probably be just as effective.

'that kind people' should be 'that kind of people', obviously
Yeah, I got what you meant. And yes, way too many people do that. And an unfortunate trend I'm starting to see is that kind people making a site that works in IE *and Gecko* (due to Firefox' popularity), but fails miserably under Webkit and Opera, because instead of actually *learning how to make websites*, the retards do their usual IE-only routine, with an added step of tweaking to make it work in Firefox, which means they end up with something that's just as much a horrible mess of code as the usual IE-only sites are, except it happend to match Gecko's specific quirks and oddities enough to work there as well.
The most outrageous example I've run into recently is some project made by some company in Vietnam, who claimed that the site didn't work in Safari "because Safari doesn't support DIVs". Turns out that they didn't understand the difference between id and class, and had given multiple different div elements the same id. Beautiful.
...on second thought, why should I spare them the humiliation? It was made by this group of incompetent fuckers.
Making a page that renders in IE and only IE and expecting your viewers to use that browser only is wrong.
Yes, I totally agree! Read what i wrote again
They're working on it. Personally I just use an XP installation in a VM when I need to test some stuff I'm working on under IE7.
Your google skills are fail.
So is your grammar skills.
What does Chrome do which is violating privacy in such a way that you don't think it would be considered acceptable in Firefox?
Haha! In a comment you wrote on the blog post you linked to, you wrote about Bill Gates' predictions and how they aren't coming true, and ended it with:
Oh yeah, and in five years everyone will be foregoing the keyboard and surfing the Web with voice recognition
I just HAVE to point you to this -- it's pure gold, if you haven't seen it already
There's never been a good reason not to make sites that don't work equally well no matter what browser you use
Some stuff I make doesn't work equally well under IE because IE is buggy. Does that count?
WTF is this doing on the frontpage? This looks like some proprietary wine ripoff. Don't buy from these, buy from Codeweavers instead!
(I had guessed that this was posted by kdawson before i looked...)
They sure as hell don't want people to switch Firefox and Chrome either!
I'll bet that was on ME. Works fine on 2k.
The only common thread between these three companies (among others) and their rejection of Gecko is Gecko itself: they've embraced a wide variety of other engines
What?
You are talking about AOL, Apple, and Google, right? "embraced a wide variety of other engines"? AOL stuck with Internet Explorer's engine in their product, and Apple and Google are both using the KHTML-derived WebKit in theirs. How is one company sticking with IE and the others using ONE other alternative engine in any way a "wide variety" of engines? You make it sound like they went "anywhere but Gecko" when in reality they just went to WebKit.
I dont subscribe to the argument that Firefox users would forget/stop using google search, if Yahoo/MSN is set as default
MSN???
"Google makes their own browser now, competing with ours! Quick, switch our default search engine to one that's not made by a competing browser vendor! Yeah, MSN, that's a good choice!"
Uh...
