Internet Explorer 9 DOESN'T Work Here

[Justin]

Who writes a program to only work on IE?

Idiots.

I shouldn't need to point this out.

[Ah Pook]

Idiots.

I shouldn't need to point this out.

It was a rhetorical question. DUH!

Foxtrot,

Please don't tell me what I know or don't know, I am an IT professional and have 10 years experience with IT infrastructure and Microsoft products.

This thread was about whether co-ar15.com worked in IE9 and it does.

Your opinions are valid but your editorial on me is unwelcome and unnecessary.

Delfuego out...

"as a former IT professional"

Well, I never was an IT professionasl, I was a programmer. How long ago? Think assembler for 8088intel... CTOS and BCL and the first pascal compilers.

ALL programs are "buggy" some less so that others, some need experienced users to avoid all kinds of problems.

You write for the middle, the middle of the desires of the architects, the middle of the road of the internet and the middle of the road for users.

something ALWAYS breaks.

Microsoft isn't "guilty" neither is it "innocent" what they are is IN BUSINESS and as such they need to sell things, most notably - UPGRADES, especially to their bread and butter, government and business users - so in a particular "upgrade" they get improve functionality of one sort or another.

No answer in "IT" is absolute, it's all relative. which processor you used, which layer is accessed, which function library, etc... literally AD NAUSEUM..

Then someone with the time, figures out a workaround or a "solution" to a "problem" - all is well in Denmark.

But this argument about "IT professionals" vs "Users" has been going on since someone moved a couple of upgraded beads on a "new improved" abacus and some old guy whined because the beads used to be made out of left-handed ivory, not right handed tusk ivory...

Computers and the tech that goes with them is such an utterly INFANT industry, that they haven't learned the lessons that other "engineering" professions have, oh, they're working on it - but they don't have the corporate memory of, say, architects - there's a huge amount of growth that the population of "IT professionals" has to do, and it's hard, the way bricks were made didn't change on average of 18 months, a balance or ruler have always been constant - they worked, "new" computer tools are constantly being invented, abandoned and reinvented.

how many people remember what really made Apple Computer take off? 5 bucks to the person that guesses the software that let them penetrate the business world.


fun to watch though...

I recently bought a new computer, had the same OLD one for 7 years with a few upgrades here and there - I always recommend that as long as people are happy with their computer that they don't install any new thing, upgrade anything or "believe" any hype about how something is going to make something faster...

Happy is happy.

No guesses?

Google must be burning up by now...

Of course, the answer is somewhere in Googleville - it's perhaps the one other thing that I attribute to the internet...

Intellectual laziness - with so much information available at the click of a GOOGLE search, even the stupidest creature can seem to have a vast store of knowledge...

OK, I'll up it to 1 5 round box of Federal tactical slugs...

And ya ... I was born in 1983... Still remember learning to use this when I was like 5 to track my baseball card collection...

I had the same problem. Downloaded IE9 and everything fell apart. I couldn't send PMs on this site either--they would turn out blank. Finally uninstalled and went back to IE8 and everything went back to just fine.
