SnipinTerminator Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Hello, I'm just finished writing a complete instalation guide for OSX 10.4.3 (dual boot of course)! You can find the guide at my website: http://www.profit42.com/guides.php?id=1 The guide worked on many computers without even one problem so I can guarantee for 99% that it has to work with your PC (your PC has to support SSE2). P.S. I know this is off-topic, but could you please also tell me your opinion about the new layout and the new functions? P.S.2. Sorry if this is not allowed in this section, but I see many people asking here about the installation in place of the subforum... UPDATE: digitalkid - He didn't write it - it's all culled from other peoples' work. He just put it on his site, and put google ads every other line. We're bitching because his site, when it does work, blocks IE users, so he's hardly doing a great service to the community. That and his unfounded and quite frankly ridiculously transparent zealotry made him a fair target for the rest of us. He made the "I know what's right" move, and we just happily showed him he's missed the mark by about 8 years. Hello dave! I wrote that guide 100% on my own, but of course: the most credits go to MAXXUSS and JaS for making the patches! My site is the only one that has a clear guide and if you don't think thats a service to the community you need to look at yourself! The only posts that you ever made are in THIS topic! Wow, that's great service to the community! -- Thanks! UPDATE: Site is up again... I hope it stays up!

TristanLeBoss Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Why do you completely disallow access to Internet Explorer users ?? I don't mind if the site didn't appear as you want on my comp' ... i just want to read your guide ...

macgirl Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 FireFox is easier to install than patched Mac OS X X86 on regular PCs.

thunder.scripts Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Browser detection sucks. Specially since it's not reliable at all, most browsers let you change your ua (ie doesn't, but i'm not quite sure if you can call that a browser).

SnipinTerminator Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Browser detection sucks. Specially since it's not reliable at all, most browsers let you change your ua (ie doesn't, but i'm not quite sure if you can call that a browser). But in those browsers the site does work , only IE dis some strange things when I beta-tested everything so I built in this IE detection script. Maybe it's a lack of PHP/CSS knowlegde by me, but I don't care: If you want to read the guide use a REAL browser. But... I'm getting 1000+ visitors a day and noone that can post a simple reply that the guide worked or not, please people!

thunder.scripts Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've been using a real browser all my life, but disabling a website for a specific browser is just not accessible. PHP has nothing to do with the browser, it should work equally in all of them. CSS is just for presentation, you shouldn't (or at least, i wouldn't) disable the whole site because it doesn't look perfectly (I know IE is a pain in the ass when using css). And if your website doesn't work in ie because of some client-side scripting that it doesn't support, that's just plain wrong for obvious accessibility reasons. Plus, the site even works in lynx! I don't see why it wouldn't work in IE. Anyway, thanks for the guide, I might use it when I upgrade OS X Good luck!

doobie Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 SnipinTerminator .. quite OT .. tried using the submitted URL .. but you're blocking Internet Explorer access - encouraging people to use a "real" browser. It does make one wonder why you are using IE-specific tags in the HTML - and why your HTML isn't W3C-compliant.

dave420 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 SnipinTerminator, please grow up. Clearly the problem isn't that the scripts don't work, as it's easy enough to make scripts that do. PHP isn't the problem. The HTML isn't the problem. You have some sort of zealotry going on, and it's not good for you or the community.

Drac Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 On the contrary for all the IE users and bashes of this site, the only reason his site doesnt work in IE is because its coded correctly. I am a web developer, and I use proper CSS and XHTML and have to jump through major hoops to get things to work in IE properly, yet they work fine in standardized browsers.

That is completely true. Yet, this site we're talking about is not coded correctly. No doctype, no alt, no type attribute in script, and some other non-standard attribute.

dave420 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Drac, it's perfectly easy to develop websites that work 100% across all browsers. Sure, if you jump to CSS positioning, which doesn't work across all platforms (and even Firefox doesn't get it right all the time), then you'll have to expect problems. Saying IE doesn't do things properly is true, but only half the story. Firefox and every other browser don't do things properly either, and competent developers can code around that. There is absolutely, positively no reason to deny access to any browser or group of people, as there is no technical reason. Think about it - if what you say is true, then websites around the world would lock out users of the most popular web browser out there, by a long margin. That's just ridiculous reasoning. SnipinTerminator, you {censored} and moan about how IE is a terrible browser and doesn't support your fantastic compliant code, when your site doesn't even validate. It doesn't even come close: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...es.php%3Fid%3D1 Not to mention it's coded poorly, jumping all over the screen when it's loading. How you can sit there and lecture people on how IE screws up, and you can't even be bothered to write decent HTML. Pathetic. And don't even get me started on you having google ads in the middle of your content. Your moral highground is rapidly eroding.

Drac Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dave, It is possible to develop a website that works 100% in all browsers, I have done it, but it requires alot of extra work to get it IE compliant if you follow strict XHTML and CSS guides. But, I agree with saying it isn't properly coded anyway, I didnt check nor validate his website.

betam4x Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I just tested the site in IE, and except for a minor graphical glitch it looks fine. Being that i am and have been a web designer for many years (since 98ish or so) I know that it's possible to design websites that work on all browsers.

dave420 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Drac, I agree. I also think if you want to adopt standards that are not widely supported, then you will have problems. Using CSS for display is a sound idea, but that fact doesn't change IE, or indeed FireFox's, CSS compatibility. Either way, disabling access to a site for a particular browser is just petty, immature, pointless, and an abject demonstration of zealotry.

digitalkid Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm pretty tired of reading how everybody is complaining about this and that, {censored}, I mean some guy has taken the time to write a fricken install guide to help everyone out, the least you can do is figure out how to download it for yourself instead of complaining about it. There was no useful information on this thread, all I read was a bunch of bitching like little girls. Now I can't even access the guide cause the bandwidth reached its limit, probably from all you crying girls. Let me know when the guides back up.
