I meant that the website dev knows about the warnings so who should he blame but himself, though changing that warning to give the dev a kick before breaking his site might have been good though I guess these devs probably wouldn't notice anyway. > > > Heck Xombrero has taken the spot from firefox as my favourite browser > > today and I hate to think how much energy would be saved if everyone > > could or was using it (brill but not the easiest to use at first but > > the easiest once mastered or if you use vi and doesn't run on Windows). > > > > There is no need for mixed content and why would you use plain text and > > ssl at the same time, a user only makes one request at a time and web > > pages are tiny.

It's that term again 'modern'; the term that brings crap to all desktops, especially linux ones ;-). Yeah and I select the main domains javascript to enable (actually easier once matsered and do=able in xombrero by default) and note that I should find a more respectable site like techrepublic which I now rarely look at. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
