It does not - it never has. Take a image from my site - any one of
them - http://www.swsports.org/images and look at it in Firefox. Then
bring up that same image in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro - you will see
the difference. IE handles CSS well - Firefox, Opera and others
don't. Otherwise, why would you have to embed data via Photoshop and
PSP to make it display properly on Firefox or Opera?

You got it backwards.

Well, I've already admitted that I'm wrong, I'm here in front of God
and everybody that I'm wrong.

Ok? I AM WRONG!!!!

Firefox still sucks. :)

Wrong again Tom.

Twice in one night?


Hey - I'm man enough to admit it.

Something a lot of people around here could practice on occasion I
might add. :)

Later,

Tom




I do not use Firefox. I use IE as that is the standard. As to Firefox and
Unix / derivatives there will always be bugs in them.


Sorry can't sit by & let the best thing siunce sliced bread get done
over without at least trying to help you. MS is the worlds originators
of "bugs" & they sell the stuff for big bucks full of them:-)



For years Unix was
written mostly as senior thesis add-on. The Core was AT&T but all the
drivers etc. were add-on. They did not handle error conditions worth crap!
I remember Unix creating thousands of pages of error logs because they could
not handle a disk drive getting off track. This is a sign that the whole
operating system had lots of holes. Admitted error conditions are the
hardest thing to test, but if you need a senior thesis, and the software
works for your thesis advisor, you going to go further?


So I guess all the really critical big systems are wrong then?? the govt
departments, USPTO?? etc etc ??? Unix when compared to toy systems like
MS is rock solid, you need to actually find out before you play lets
pretend around here.


Same thing will be
with Firefox and the Linux operating system. The holes may get patched
faster,


The "holes" as you say do get fixed & you don't need to wait & then pay
for a fix to an MS product that was marketed in a defective state.

but if you think it is immune to virus infection, we have a bridge
to sell you, or some money in Nigeria to transfer to you.


I never said there was no virus for linux but any that do come along (&
they do from time to time) are quickly & publicly dealt with by the
myriad users & groups & forums around the world & the system just gets
more secure & more solid. Compare that with how MS handle the reason
their product is so virus ridden, they blame others for not spending
enough money on security. Indeed there's a complete industry bleeding
even more money from you simpletons, selling you fixes for the defective
MS operating system. As I pointed out to sad Tommy you're all about to
be taken to the cleaners yet again but this time you'll be locked in
well & truely & probably given more troubles than you have with XP.

Virus's are
written for the 90% of the world using the same operating system. Why write
for the minority?

Or why write for those that can access exactly how their software works
via the source code & can fix a virus in no time flat, all the while
learning more of their own system.

Nope sorry I have to say don't be a cry baby & give it a try, yes being
dumbed down by MS for so long you'll have a few oopses on the carpet but
once you get into the swing of it you'll learn what your machine can
really be made to do & you'll have access to more software than you can
imagine, gee you might even contribute some yourself.

Come on be like big bad E-Tec dealer lacky Tommy & admit you're just
scared of finding out.
