I know, dude. I drove my car off a cliff yesterday. ***** Mitsubishi. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -22/+398Umm, a page not found error makes it a 0% chance it was Microsoft's fault and a 100% chance someone put in the wrong url.
It's not like Firefox or Opera magically "recreate" a page that can't be found .... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -58/+413That would be IE before XP SP2 which is people who haven't upgraded in nearly 3 years. Run a 3 year old version of any browser and you're running 3 years of vulnerabilities.
Put a url that doesn't exist in any browser and you'll get some sort of "page not found" message. - smojo12, on 10/12/2007, -66/+390I'm not a fan of your description. But the picture is funny as hell.
What IE does best is let adware get installed and have mysterious pop ups all the time. - bitterg, on 10/19/2007, -21/+303How do you know it's an IE problem and not a problem with the webserver or file it's reading from?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+273Actually there's this Firefox extension...
- jsandman32, on 10/12/2007, -20/+244You are looking at a billboard. Cancel or allow.
- LiveFastDieOld, on 10/12/2007, -7/+164Mild inaccuracies are just Digg doing what Digg does best.
- NoMercyGTP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+144Hey it's IKEA, Somebody just hasn't put the page together using their instructions, a screwdriver and an allen wrench.
- mmeads, on 10/12/2007, -3/+101and another of the same sign:
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=198372195&size=l - marcuschi, on 10/12/2007, -13/+93Judging by the proportions, that would be the smallest site ever.
- Hitchhiker90, on 10/12/2007, -14/+93It's not IE's fault that the web page is not being displayed on the back end.
frant1c you're a ***** idiot. - Myonosken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+78Probably the server stand collapsed because a screw was missing.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+76imagine porn popups on that
- ronmexico, on 10/12/2007, -10/+84You could have made your point in a more mature way.
- theendlessnow, on 10/12/2007, -7/+73IKEA has since upgraded to Vista. However, they keep having to send someone up the ladder to click on 'Accept'.
- toughice, on 10/12/2007, -5/+68Is a webpage really the best way to run a billboard? IE, Firefox, Safari - whatever - this can't be the best way to do this.
- civperc, on 10/12/2007, -11/+56some IE fanboys are getting majorly butt hurt in here...
who cares if it's Ikea's fault; it's still funny. I'd laugh even it was Firefox... - Kragit, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46What better way to display an animated GIF image? :-P
- GliTCH82, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45@Fliberty
The billboard is funny, but the jokes about it are kinda dumb if you've used a web browser in, say, the last 15 years or so.
"HYUCK LOOK GUYS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED MICRO$0Ft SUCKS!" - aNoble, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37What I'm wondering is why the heck they'd be using IE to run what must be a very expensive piece of video equipment. You'd think for the cost of one of those things someone would pop for software software designed with a more specific purpose.
Edit: toughice beat me to it - frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -9/+42It was "IkEa does what it does best!" I swear! It's a typo! I'm not a fanboy!
...hm, now when I think about it, maybe if I've made a slightly unrelated IKEA joke I'd be hunted by Swedish furniture lovers for the rest of my wretched existence. - bombadier337, on 10/12/2007, -5/+36Not a even a 10% chance a server went down?
- Beaver6813, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28I don't mind IE or Firefox and i dont find this in the least bit offensive... its a huge error on a huge ikea billboard sign :P I find that funny!
- randf, on 10/12/2007, -9/+34thanks jsandman, i now have diet coke running out of my nose
- aNoble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24@noahhoward: Maybe so you don't end up getting 1,000 sq ft "This page cannot be displayed" messages on your billboard?
- tobsterius, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25If i had the ability to my dick in my ears, I'd have better luck with women...
- glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Nah, it's not IE or IKEA's fault. That' sign has been glitchy ever since they installed it about a year and a half ago. I believe it's the property manager's responsibility to keep that sign up. (Yes, I have the distinct pleasure of driving by that sign on my way to and from work every day)
- tfinniga, on 10/12/2007, -11/+26// Umm, a page not found error makes it a 0% chance it was Microsoft's fault and a 100% chance someone put in the wrong url.
Or, it could be that it's the right URL and there's a connectivity problem. Which could be microsoft's fault in a couple of ways, although admittedly not ie's problem. - ModernGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14noahhoward: so that you don't get a flat tire when you are driving through a road made of nails. This is why we need better IT professionals in the industry. "Lets use a premade utility that we will have no control of if we need an extra feature, or if a bug is found" is not always the best answer.
- JoshuaH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Do it in notepad next time...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Public computer errors pool on flickr : http://www.flickr.com/groups/66835733@N00/pool/
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14You'd think someone would have at least managed to set up a custom 404 page.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16False alarm, it's probably just running on an Ikea made server. IE can't display what isn't served.
- randf, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12submitter is a retard? are you new to digg?
- EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13If a similar post had singled out Apple, Firefox, or Linux unjustly the outcry would be far worse. The description was intentionally written as flame bait, so it certainly shouldn't be surprising. Nonetheless it's an amusing photo with a lame description. Enjoy it and move on.
- Mejogid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10"The Gecko engine in Firefox isn't particularly mature enough to be embedded in applications, like the IE browser has been developed explicitly to be embedded in all kinds of places."
It's admittedly not quite as easy as embedding IE, but the gecko engine can be and is embedded in a multitude of places. See http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=gecko+embedding&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 .
If you thought for a bit, you'd realise it's embedded in Camino (OS X), Epiphany (Linux/Gnome), recent versions of Wine, Thunderbird, Songbird... hell, everything at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_%28layout_engine%29#Web_browsers . - Bleach00, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12um, the thing about Digg is, it is full of techheads. You do not come on here and slag off two of the most popular browsers and expect not to be dugg down.
Unless you did it on purpose. For some reason. - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12"imagine porn popups on that"
They would have to jail all of Ikea. - Tetranitrate, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14@astrotrain
I think instead of "you got troubles" you meant to say "your troubles would be solved by getting a" - timjkidd, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Clearly not a browser-side issue, this is a 400 series error indicating a page that is unavailable. Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE... Doesn't matter, they'd all have the same issue.
- JeffH, on 10/12/2007, -13/+21Nobody is upset over the concept, people are upset because the submitter is a retard.
- Vinthian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10props to ikea for actually using dynamic boards though. too bad their technician team sucks.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -10/+18You must really envy Macs to bring them up for no reason like that.
- lexbaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Who said it was a server? If I was using a browser to display images on a billboard or kiosk, etc. I'd be using a local file.
- JohnChapin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Easy fix: Someone just plug in the Ethernet cable at the bottom of the sign...
- diggfinity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Go outside.
- duffman5, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10"imagine porn popups on that"
In unrelated news, there have been thirty-two traffic accidents in front of Ikea so far this week. - burnttoast11, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10IE doesn't suck, it's just very average.
