IE 6 is Amy Winehouse?

IE6 refuses to go to rehab as well
jimv1983Jul 29, 2010
Amy Winehouse is worse than IE 6. She is IE 5.5

Blockbuster uses IE6
leandrotamiJul 20, 2010
Blockbuster isn't exactly a company known for keeping up with the times.
splat313Jul 21, 2010
Large corporations are one of the ones to blame for IE6. Smaller corporations are more agile and are able to update their systems faster. A large company like Blockbuster most likely has a set of tools that were built upon IE6 and replacing them with newer technology would be prohibitively expensive.
IE6 is down to 7% market share, from 10% in Jan. I don't see why people would still design for IE6 unless they worked for said large corporations and it were required.

I demand netscape 2.0 support for my windows 3.1 box with 4mb ram

Well it could be worse, not to long ago, a digital billboard was put up about 10 miles from my house, and every now and then I drive by it, and I see the windows 95 boot screen, then it goes to the desktop, then it loads (probably in the startup) a program that was made to display the adds. Some people still need to make the switch to 32-bit computing.

There is a digital billboard about 10 miles from my house, and every now and then I drive by it, and I see the windows 95 boot screen, then it goes to the desktop, then it loads (probably in the startup) a program that was made to display the adds. Some people still need to make the switch to 32-bit computing. Here is the street view link: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.707529,-122.162156&spn=0.001708,0.003433&z=19&layer=c&cbll=37.70759,-122.162244&panoid=1ZWHCuY0jOS6g1yoDgm8MQ&cbp=12,132.48,,0,-4.28

That's not the Windows 95 boot screen.
aminy23Jul 20, 2010
I agree, that is the billboard. I have seen this billboard restart, and when it does, it goes to the Windows 95 boot screen. It would have been funny if street view caught it. If you move back and forward, you notice that it blacks out for a while between adds.

I still run ie6 inside virtualbox inside my Linux fedora! Why IT IS f**kING FAST AND SAFE the way I do it!!!!
stockjonesJul 21, 2010
why go through all that effort. Just pop up a browser native to linux? Chrome or Opera? Both run prety damn good on linux.

terrible argument given how much hotter the ie6 version chick looks
leandrotamiJul 20, 2010
I have an array of computers sending requests all over the web, faking the user-agent header so that everyone thinks IE6 is still being used.
ryannorthcottJul 21, 2010
Hey look! It's a pic from 2008 that resurfaces once again, like all the others! Yay!

IE 6 is the only web browser allowed on all Navy and Marine Corps computers. It's awesome. Half the web sites I visit warn me about the security problems or stability of my browser.
stockjonesJul 21, 2010
I find that hard to believe. What Navy and Marine corp are you talking about?

I don't see what the big deal about IE6 is. I find that most developers bend over backwards to support it, so I have no reason to upgrade.
*cough*
carl27Jul 21, 2010
pretty funny that i had to load theonion website in ie because it doesn't work in firefox
stockjonesJul 21, 2010
box model horror. every browser handles padding and margins pretty much the same way then there is IE6. MS get IE9 out (hopefully more standard compliant) and let IE6 die.
admiralcrunch24Jul 21, 2010
You mean, ..
This is why stoopid wannabe WebDesigners hate IE6 ? ^^
Because they never learnt how to develope, instead they just copied and pasted for years and now try to call themselves developers..
Because they were educated by some gay media-agencys whose clients are some more little gay idiots that have too much money.
Because they have no own opinion and just repeat what they heard at their gay-orgies.
IE6 renders better than FF3, just take a look at the fonts you idiots ^^
Take a look at the scrolling-movement and tell me you gay FF has more quality than my IE6 ^^
Or better :) tell me your gay FF is more secure than my IE6 ^^ ..lol..
Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

IE6?
meh. I no longer test the sites I'm developing in IE6; so far I haven't had any clients complain. Honestly, if you're dumb enough to still use this browser then you deserve to have your websites look like s**t.
callum2008Jul 22, 2010
IE6 is not broken. They didn't half ass it and then throw it out to the public. It was a top of the line browser in its day. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. IE6 at the time it was developed worked perfectly fine and some even thought it was revolutionary. Do you really expect software built in 2001 to support all the new features in the future?
Give me (without researching) 5 reasons why IE6 is terrible. I would guess that you only know of the "broken" box model, doesn't support some css and png transparency. If these are the first things you thought of then do some research.
... and just to start you off the "broken" box model is not broken, it was just being designed the logical way.

Don't just jump on the "bash IE6" bandwagon.
jimv1983Jul 29, 2010
The best thing about IE 6 when it came out was that is wasn't IE 5.5
urmyhartbstoprJul 22, 2010
Web developers and Web designers are different. Granted that developers have to deal with some front end stuff, they usually do not design!
I'm sick of job posting ask for web developer with skill requirement with for flash, photoshop, etc...
falserJul 28, 2010
If Microsoft wanted to get on my good side, one year after IE9 is released then all previous versions of IE should be locked out of the Internet, completely. And IE9 would be "ported" to Windows XP (at least).
But hey, it's Micros**t we're talking about. We're very soon gonna be living in a world where we have to support 4 versions of IE across 3 versions of Windows simultaneously.
