    It's on topic too...Mozilla browsers still support gopher, not many others.
    And of course, what's on a working gopher site?

      Pretty snappy so far. There are some things I'll have to get used to.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

        Like what?

        The biggest boost is with javascript. If and when Poly ever gets the AJAX-happy vbulletin 3.7, the improvement will be massively noticeable compared to FF2 or IE.

          gopher://hal3000.cx/0/Weather/China/city_forecasts.txt

          Holy ****, not only available, but ACTUALLY updated!

          I was assuming I'd read about the forecast for 1997 or something...

            Didn't 3 remove gopher support?

            edit: the links work, so apparently not

              Not only did they not remove it, they updated the style for it slightly.

                The down arrow for the previously-visited sites is different. Not worse. Probably better. Just takes some getting used to.

                  I like it better having gotten used to it. If not, in the lifehacker link I gave earlier it shows you how to revert it.

                    There are some small detail things that I'm liking. For instance, the download used to hang up the browser somewhat. Now there's no interruption.

                      Well, a reinstall and another couple of reboots later and FF3 is now much better behaved Very snappy indeed, although pages with 'heavy' content like Flash still seem unnecessarily slow, but maybe that's just a matter of perception as lighter pages load so much faster now (although I *have* read there are some issues with Flash being slow for some people, might be affecting me as well). Of course, I am a tad paranoid now, some of my more ambitious customisations and all my extensions are still disabled, we'll see how things go as I start adding those back in.

                        http://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/


                        Nice, this thing has exceeded 4.1 million downloads already, with 11k downloads added every minute, a number which is rapidly climbing now Europe is starting to wake up. The 5 million hits in 24hrs Mozilla were optimistically hoping for is gonna be absolutely shattered...

                          No, it's the way IE handles them that's screwy.

                          Mozilla's solution? Use CSS! Come on, sometimes CSS takes time to prepare; HTML is just faster when you don't have the time.
                          I do web design for a living at the moment.

                          Often times, I take other peoples' work and build off of it.

                          When I see someone who's done the styling in HTML, I call them witless ****head dip**** asscaps, because it makes fixing bugs and modifying and editing things so much more difficult. I despise this almost as much as I get irritated by F-grade code that uses tables for their goddamn layout.

                          It makes maintenance more difficult.

                          It makes everything more difficult.

                          Which is why I often just say "**** it" and re-do the whole damn design in standards-compliant XHTML and CSS.

                          The point of CSS and HTML is to separate visual layout from content; that way, you can modify content and not muck up the layout much; conversely, you can modify layout and not muck up content.

                          As far as the "time" thing, it's nice to know that you take pride enough in your work to not care whether it sucks or not.

                            It's similar to the whole idea that if one has to program in interpreted, scripting languages like PHP, one should separate program logic from display logic.

                            It's much easier to see how something operates when all of the code is up top, and all of the display is at the bottom, with the only code in the bottom being references to the results of the processing above.

                              Actually, CSS is a lot more flexible.

                              Almost all of these (if not all) work across Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konqueror, and IE.

                              They use CSS.

                              They don't put visual layout information IN THE GODDAMN ****ING content.

                              IE isn't so much flexible as it is permissive. It'll take poorly written code and run with it, while the others have self-****ing-respect.

                                It doesn't use something like swfobject to automatically enable the flash content.

                                How annoying.

                                Clicking on a template and the clicking on Details has different window behavior.

                                How inconsistent.

                                It uses tables for layout, which makes reading the code much more a hassle than it should be, as it doesn't separate logical content groupings from each other.

                                Yeah, that's fine, in as much as puttering around in a Stretch Hummer is fine when gas prices near $5 a gallon.
