Comment on In which I declare that lawyers are not more intelligent than geeks… by David L

Dear Mr. Rickelton-Abdi,

I am a 2008 college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Marketing from American University. I see that you have been working at Disney-ABC for quite some time now and was wondering if you could help me. I am trying to get into the the marketing department over at Disney-ABC. I am extremely interested in a Jr. Marketing position if there are any available. After graduating cum laude with a specialization in marketing, I have decided to combine my education with the broadcast industry. I have already applied for some positions online, but I feel that doesn’t show how truly passionate and dedicated I am.

I would love for the opportunity to prove my worth and excel with an organization such as yours.

Very truly yours,

David L

Add to this the fake teeth, the 2 prosthetic hips and the prosthetic shoulder and you’ll have the full picture! Nope, I’m not going home anytime soon!

Bloody hell. Is France also home to some of the worst facelift surgeons on the planet?

Fair point…
But if you add to this the fact that uninstalling IE8 results in a non functioning IE7, you get a very IE unhappy Tryphoon!

IE 8 is still only at Beta 1. After years of writing browser detection code, my guess is that someone failed to update the detection code on the site and I doubt very much that the bug lies within the browser. In browser worlds there is 4x browsers and everyone else. 4x browsers had no DOM support at all. I am willing to be that the mistake in detection is that the old way of separating browsers may not hold true anymore.

I would also doubt the tests at acidtests.org until they bring their page up to current w3c.org standards too. I don’t want to speak without all the facts, however, with the heighten browser security, simply copying a complex JavaScript DOM tree and placing it outside of the intended URL will almost always skew the results.

Don’t confuse sloppy web design / development with the abilities of the browser. It is bad enough that Apple is becoming more and more like Microsoft with every release, but mac supporters need to avoid acting like windows supporters. Can’t we all just get along?
