A new stance on IE

Day in and day out, I fight against the FAIL that is Internet Explorer. These days, Version 7 pretty much gets the job done with a little cajoling and the occasional punch in the face, but Version 6 is the bane of my existence. On a whim, I bought DestroyIE.com the other day [...]
