Dropping IE6 Support
All the cool web 2.0 sites (YouTube, Digg etc) are doing it, so it is official and now applies to this website. I will not be breaking my balls trying to make this look pretty in IE6 anymore. If you noticed, my logo is a transparent PNG – it looks like ass in IE6, but too bad. Use any decent browser and it will work properly. I don’t even have a computer with IE6. If you’re still on IE6, stop using a computer because you’re a moron. Using IE6 in 2009 is like trying to calculate the 543rd digit of pi by using cucumbers.
This site endorses Firefox 3.5. Chrome is also very respectable. Anything but IE pretty much… IE is crap.

I agree… i think im going to stop trying to code for IE6 too…. but it just sucks that a lot of people (like me) are forced to use IE6 by employers and other places (library for example)

Where I work, we reimage the computers every year. We’re still shipping out IE6 and don’t even have applications that depend on it. I still can’t get a straight answer as to why we are still using it. I understand it’s hard to support Firefox in a corporate environment, but at least upgrade IE
