Match of the Millenium: IE vs. FF

Imagine you want to watch a movie… Rocky IV for instance. Should the movie end differently in different tv’s? Should the russian win if you are watching the movie on a Panasonic? What if you’re watching it in a Sanyo?! No, it shouldn’t! And that’s because there are standards which are used by all television’s manufacturer to make their tv’s standard.

Maybe we should tell Internet Explorer’s and Firefox’s manufacturers that the WWW also has standards, because there are lots of differences on the rendering of the same html on both of them.

Let’s see an example that drove me nuts a few days ago: The center align, as simple as that.

As you may see for yourself, if you try aligning a table by

<table style=”text-align: center;”>

It’ll work on Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox! For Firefox you should use:

<table style=”text-align: -moz-center;”>

But this won’t work on Internet Explorer. UN-F**KING-BELIAVEABLE!!!

So, what you should do to make both of them work is:

<table style=”text-align: -moz-center; #text-align: center;”>

I don’t even know why this last thing works, but it does…

But, the question is, Why, Oh, Why does -moz-center even exists?!

Chief Information Officer

- Hi, my name is John Smith, I’m the CIO of Techiename corp. Let me tell you about which will be the services I’ll be providing to you: Development, Testing and Graphical design.

- Will you personally be doing it, aren’t you the CIO of a corporation?

- (Small silence) Sure, you are a very important client for Techiname corp. and… we like to treat our customers with our very best.

Did it ever happen to you?

I rather call me an independent professional than the CIO of my ghost unipersonal corporation!

One big con on working at home

Dilbert’s comics doesn’t seem so funny any more.

Now that I don’t have the office to remind me that everything in that comic actually hapends in reality, it just seems too untruth to be funny.

You’ve got yourself a deal

Whenever I think of making business I think what it was like to trade cards as a child. Making good business would always bring you good business friends, and good personal friends were the last people on earth you’d want to make some business with. If you have to do some hard negotiation business, and most of the time that’s what you’re doing, you don’t want friendship to came up in the middle of a negotiation, but still even when you dislike the person you’re dealing with there are some codes.

Once you shook hands, you can’t change the rules. If you’ve shook hands with someone and he changes the rules, simply discard him as a person to make business with. Someone who won’t stand for his word is not going to help you getting anywhere. I’d say that making good business will bring you good friends, and making bad business is the best (probably the only) way of knowing with who you should be making business with and with who you shouldn’t.

Sunshine

Great movie! I’d give it the rank of 4th blog. Not to be seen at home unless you have a huge screen and a great sound system…

The movie goes like this: The sun is shutting down, sentencing the human race to die. A team is sent to turn on the sun again, but it disappeared under strange circumstances. A second team is built and sent to the sun when they find themselves with the first ship and a difficult choice, complete the mission or help the missing crew.

About this blog’s name

This is my third blog.

So, I love the name, isn’t it nice? In my first blog I made the mistake of wanting too much of it, but it was on Blogger! I wrote my second blog on PostRev 0.6.AboutAMillion. It really worked out fine, I even got a domain and hosting for it. But trolls toke control of it.

So, with no further ado I bring you My third blog, let’s see if I finally keep it.
