Re: [OT] gob.mx = IE6 only!

Direct links to what the buttons lead to might be out there in the
source...

Tried to register at this site:

Complete registration will only work for Mexican nationals because of
the RFC and CURB entries.

That would be "CURP".

When you hit any of the buttons in iceweasel, seamonkey or konqueror
nothing happens! Neither with user-agent switcher!

So this is an official Mexican government site *hardcoded* to M$ IE!

No news here. It is not the only site.

They 've got to receive a pretty penny for this!

I don't think so. I would say they are simply stupid and lazy to really
put any effort on it. Mose people inside the IT business don't know or
care about the other options out there. And the "90%" excuse is good
enough for them. It goes well with Pareto's principle.

BTW, did you try using Opera? (Yes, I know, non-free, but an option
nonetheless.)

Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the
Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats
in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the
moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter -- for they had a
machine, a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect
in every respect. And they lived with it, and on it, and under it, and
inside it, for it was all they had -- first they saved up all their atoms,
then they put them all together, and if one didn't fit, why they
chipped at it a bit, and everything was just fine...
