Internet Explorer 5.5 Beats IE 6 and 7 in Web Standards Test

[candle_86]

How is it not? It's super slow compared the other places on this planet.

ok, i have a 6mb broadband and it does everything i actully need it to, cable offers up to 10mb usally. Im using DSL myself and am very happy with it. IF you have 40mb/s can your page load any faster? Yes if the webpage is set to allow you to connect at 40mb/s but does .0000004 really load faster than 00000000.4 seconds, i think we know the answer not really, both appear at frankly the same time.

Mathematically yes, that's 0.4 seconds alright.

i do much more than load web pages, thats one of the things I could care less about.

With all the computers I work on, I would say on average, I dl about 1 to 2 gigs a day(of legit stuff) drivers, apps, games ect.

and if I had to wait on a DSL connection I would go crazy, aint gonna happen - 60 bucks for 18mb seems good to me

Who brought us tabbed browsing?? wasnt IE

And niether did FireFox or Opera; BookLink Technologies' InternetWorks web browser had 'tabbed' browsing in 1994, and it was the first web browser to impliment
tabbed windowing, which has been around since 1988.

not true, I have 100 dumb field guys that I service their computers, they are smart enough to download porn, and viruses, but they are not even smart enough to erase the porn off their desktops!!!!!!!!!! THen they send it back to me for repairs, because and I quote "It doesnt work right any more - what the hell is wrong with it - peice of shit..."

I know what you mean. I fixed one retard's PC 3 or 4 times because of it and they said i was doin a shitty job, so I told them to stuff it up theie ass.

My view is this, stupid people should not be allowed near a PC and because of this view, no one is allowed near my PC or my dead server, lmao.
Let's face it; stupid people are the main reason spyware, adware and viruses exist. I'd say over 90% of malware needs you to install it or go to a website that's obviously dangerous. I've been virusa and spyware free for over a year; last time I got spyware was when someone used my Pc.

Yah, people like that kinda bother me, but they are also who "write my paycheck" - whether Im at the office, or my own business. So I cannot complain

I'd like to line them all up and pimp-smack them, hehe, but like you, when I need $ they are the the ones I turn to... an easy $50 for an XP re-install.

exactly, or they say that they cannot do a reinstall, so i spend 3 hours cleaning all the traces of garbage and charge 100!!! or just backup data and reinstall(which i do for myown sake!)

I usually ask, "Is there ANYTHING you want off the computer?" they say "No" and I say "No music? No pictures?" And they say "Oh! I need my pictures off there! and my music! can you copy them or will I lose them?" and I'm like . lol.

 

[beyond_amusia]

Oh, forgot to add, it's my standard practice to recover files first, burn them to a CD, verify the data, and then re-format to ensure no spyware remains.

I deplore the companies that make that shit and get away with it. and those smilies... *shutters* they scare me just seeing the ad for them online.

EXACTLY!!! It's the standard because people actually use it!!!! W3 says XHTML is the standard. You can go by what a small group of people tell you they think the standard should be, or you can go by the standard of what is actually standard use!

According to W3, XHTML is the standard. Flash doesn't validate in XHTML. So according to W3, Flash is a Violation. W3, standards = LAME!

Close -- XHTML is a standard, not the standard. No one makes you use XHTML.

But I don't quite get your point -- the W3C made the HTML 4.0 standard too...

I, for one, couldn't care less what my download speed is -- it's latency I'm concerned about...

 

[Dangle]

Flash = lame.

It is? How often do you use this site?

Xhtml is the standard, according to W3. HTml 4.0 is old and has depricated tags, and doesn't follow certain accessibility standards according to W3 - that's why they made XHTML. You can't have 2 standards. If so, there is no standard...

 

[GJSNeptune]

Maybe twice a month.

Why is flexibility so bad? W3 is striving for a standard, but it can't be adopted overnight.

 

[GJSNeptune]

Flash doesn't follow standards. If you want a 100% compliant browser, it wouldn't allow flash vids, or support anything befor XHTML Strict. If a website looks shitty, it's the creator's fault, not the browser's. I think the standard should be what people actually use, and not what a small group of uberNerds dictate. I thought nobody was supposed to own the internet.

Let's go back to this post of yours.

You want the standard to be what people use, which is more and more becoming XHTML. Or do you want them to maintain pedestrian web pages that look great in IE5 and horrible in modern browsers? How do any standards ever exist without a group of people to contrive them? You want mother nature to do it?

What's your infatuation with Flash?

 

[Dangle]

All I'm saying is there nobody is using 'Standards'. If they were, there would be at least 1 browser that passes the Acid test. No browser does. There's no standard. so stop bitching about standards.

standards are too boring anyways, its just like OS's. If the only OS was windows a portion of people would be pissed, thats what MAC & Linux are for. The internet sticks to a very simple standard - HTML. But some sites use different protocols, its all good, if we want to open those sites then we find a browser that can do it.

As long as we have individualism, there will never be a standard. The last few generations of man hates standard.

You're the only one bitching about standards. And Flash not conforming to them. Nothing passes the Acid text 100% yet. If pessimists like you were behind things, we'd surely in trouble. Let us evolve. We'll get there.

The Internet is quite different. Man loves the Internet. Man likes when websites display properly.

You want people to have to install every browser, or choose browsers like they do video game consoles? "Gee, YouTube only works with Firefox, but TPU only works with IE8."

ACID3 & Opera 9.5

Opera gets 100/100 on ACID3 web standard test
(...and the only browser wich can draw corretly ACID1 + ACID2 tests )

Link: Click here

The race is over...

 

[GJSNeptune]

Way more people use Firefox, which will eventually be 100/00 anyway.

There is no race.

Yes, right: the others will pass these tests too
... and more people will use FF ...and IE ->

does not influence the quality how many people use these programs...

 

[GJSNeptune]

I made no reference to quality. As long as more people are using Firefox than Opera, I'm going to code in Firefox, which has always been free and has had a huge community for add-ons and themes.

Don't you wonder why more people use Firefox even though Opera performs better on the Acid tests?
