Don't Ban Opera Users
md2lgyk:
I don't seem to have a problem either. I'm using Opera 6.01 and just logged on without a problem.

If you would have visited this site around that time and used IE, you would have been blocked from the site too on fridays, tough the webmaster cancelled the MS Free Friday (kinda catchy I have to admit) because it proved to be too troublesome with all these browser identifying as IE

Once again, you are missing the point Void. You may consider it being a pussy, but it just DOES NOT WORK. You have to understand that the specific command I am at, where I am an IT OFFICER, we do not get to dictate the state of our machines. Yeah, we have a few HPUX and Sun boxes in the back as part of a test LAN, but we cannot hook them up to the NIPRNET, as it is against DISA regulations, and they will drop out the whole building. There is NO case to getting something different, no matter what you might say.
The military is too broad to make a sweeping gesture such as yours.
The fact remains it is rather silly to attempt to ban IE users from the site. Some people really do HAVE to use it.

The site is called fuckMicrosoft.com ... what'd you expect? :rolleyes:

You are missing the point also.
Yeah, the point is fuckmicrosoft.com, but the impression I get from reading the "About Us" page is that its more of a design issue. It seems SILLY to ban people that are using IE. Hell, so much is talked about "bringing people over from the dark side" for lack of a better term. Why ban those same people you are trying to convert? What purpose does that serve? Not much, other than pissing them off and making the anti-MS movement look like a bunch of egotistical assholes. (Much like the rep for most nix admins =[)
Anyways, I understand it's lifted, so I dont care anymore. Now I can troll from work.
