I say "zero thought" and "bad implementation" because very few of the pages I see rendering like shit add the what? 3 lines? of html and javascript required for a "no script" notice. I suspect it is less a reasoned choice to throw 2% of your traffic overboard than a lack of knowledge.

I surf with requestpolicy and noscript up. It is utterly amazing the number of websites that can't render a page without firing scripts or loading content from 6, 8, 10 or more different domains.
If you haven't tried these, do it and be amazed at how many sites load without stylesheets, pictures etc. It's amazing how badly shit is implemented - zero thought about graceful degradation.

no script
requestpolicy

well, the conservatives _do_ have a majority now. stay tuned.

Reagrdless of any shared code, one behaves much better than the other

- Konq saw a network share that I have to manually mount with dolphin (no big deal really)
- Konq hasn't crashed once since I changed back. Dolphin locked up regularly. (this was the big deal)

I wonder if Dolphin runs any better than explorer.exe yet. I've been fed up enough to change my installs back to Konq...

You're right. For Joe Average, it makes a great desktop if they don't need to change anything. I think we are at the point where configuration takes some skill, but the user experience is just fine.

I've got my senior citizen mother using Slackware. She doesn't understand much of anything about computers, or viruses, or pretty much anything your average 15 year old would get about computers, but the interface is _still_ easy enough for her requirements (lolcats, email, reading news/recipes)

If she actually needs to change anything, it is past her abilities and she has to call me. She had to do that under windows, though, so no difference to me, + the added bonus that I don't clean a pile of malware off it every time I visit. Getting her on linux has cured a long standing headache.

"If you don't give me a spec, whatever I give you meets spec."

say it, mean it and give em a lot of shit when they balk at the end result. Next time, they find time for the non coding parts of the SDLC.

Wish I could mod this +5. If even one person spending 110% of their pay reads it and "gets" i, you've helped them out.

That has been my habit ever since cams started showing up in every single screen/laptop I buy.
Nothing wrong with covering a cam you are not going to use and plenty right about it if your shit gets rooted.

Quit trolling AC. We all know SCO owns linux.

Do you think they might want to flag a price for human review if it hits a certain threshold? or advances a certain percentage?

Goin out on a limb here, but I think 23 million is a bit pricey.

I wish i could mod you up. some of them are meh, some are very good. Worth a look

>> too incompetent to make a non-JavaScript fallback

What you said.

At least fall through to a no-script page that tells me my browser sucks instead of failing to render. If they can't understand graceful degradation, they should get out of the business.
