Title: Programmers Moronsoft rants... or any others.
Post by: Rupert on December 10, 2012, 02:47:21 PM
A chap who does most of my programming, has a thing about IE.  He hates anything to do with Moronsoft, and has some lovely turns of phrase.

He runs linux, has thunderbird and open office. He has to make css work for IE though, and his latest name for IE is infernal excrement.  Note the lowercase.

Any others I should know about to throw back to him?

Ah here was another: Inferior Explore 6

another exchange:

The html looks horrendous, did you paste it in from that other thing that came from the devils behind, msWord ?

Just tell him without Bill's single-handed unification of most of the world to PC back in the day, he likely wouldn't be in your employ. Ever.

Yes, he knows that, but from a coders point of view, the MS browser always seems to be behind the curve.

Just makes me smile :)  Lucky him he rarely has to deal with Apple, but recently getting my site to work with tablets has added to his pleasure.

Maybe he'd appreciate a Linus Torvalds duvet cover?

It's been a while since I've seen Windows getting bashed... plenty of Google & Apple bashing on offer though.
