In other words, should we tell countries like Germany or Australia to "sod off" and rely on the people living in those countries to agitate or illegally import and play computer games, rather than deal with their stupidly authoritarian censorship ratings boards?

I was taking a look at the new design of coldacid.net in IE8 beta 1, simply to find that it doesn't look right with the new rendering engine. Putting the browser into IE7 emulation mode, it comes out looking just fine, however, and I already knew that it works with Firefox 2 and 3. It's pretty interesting. Likely things will work just fine by the time IE8 final rolls out, especially given that the site (or at least the front page of it) is nearly perfect HTML and CSS (and the only validation errors wouldn't affect the rendering anyway).

Am I the only person who has found that Firefox 3 won't keep you logged into various sites between sessions, whereas Firefox 2 would? Between this and the fact that some of my favourite add-ons won't work with the newer version, I'm considering switching back to the older version of everyone's favourite open source browser. I'd rather not, as some of the changes in Firefox 3 are real improvements, that I have found quite useful.

Perhaps the problem will be fixed in 3.1, which I hear is coming out in a month or two. I hope it will be.
