IE buggs
Those of you who run IE will have to live with the visual problems on this site, it’s mainly disappearing text which apers again after scrolling up and down.
This is due to problems in IE but it is probably solvable by workaround, but it will take some time (this is not from where the income comes from).
Hang in there, it is most probably solvable.

In a general sense I’ve had this balloon-like thought occur at times and I’m inclined to dismiss it as paranoia, but it goes like this: Microsoft has a standard 20th century business model which often gets in the way of collaboration. Now I’ve heard IE7 was a feeble attempt to maintain alleged tops 90% of the browser market. The word feeble encapsulates just doing the bare minimum within the polish of contemporary standards. The punchline to this thought’s that open source might be thought a threat to Microsoft’s business model, and consequently any such software which could edge out Microsoft market share might be in two ways than one given less consideration for a consequent negative impact; thus immobilized in terms of market competition. I know this must be a common idea, but I’ve not bothered to scour and gaze upon another author’s similar take. If there are elements to this thought that bear upon reality then that ethical violation would in terms of the laws of nature spell the doom of Microsoft as it is now known. On a practical note I notice IE7 is especially ‘heavy’ even in comparison with my modified FF.

One has to remove a lot of options from default IE8 to get it to speed along. Each browser has its niceties. Opera with djvu. IE with the banking system. FF with the add-ons. Seamonkey with the fast start. Safari on windows with a stable css webkit as opposed to chrome. Poor chrome. FF can be a pain with cache. I can’t say Bill’s company is full of stupid people. They know what collaboration is good for. It’s a big world with patents staying out into the foreseeable future. Open-source vultures abound and proprietary open-source rot is everywhere. One has to be very flexible and hold opinions to politics. Bottom line is the push to get 40mbps upload bendable fiber saturating the poor man’s domicile (wireless is another concept/the laws of physics are at stake). Then you’ll see a true internet with browsers hopping along at the speed of light. Everyone empowered without the the bar to facile communication structures which are described by the datacenter and high host/cloud rates. http movies will drive this reality. (how many people can afford a vps with 1GB ram for a decent web app? Not to mention bandwidth. + ISP bill?)
