Ok, don’t freak out…there are still plenty of places to waste time on the Internet.  Just Google something, anything…

But seriously, maybe it’s just me or has anyone else noticed that when using IE7 to read a story on slashdot, there is no way to change the threshold on the comments?

In Firefox or Safari, it works just great…you get a nice menu where you can adjust the comment threshold like this:

In IE7, no such menu, all I get is a dreaded “Error on page.”  This is the first place that I’ve seen that doesn’t work with IE7.  Actually, I take that back, github also has some issues when trying to use IE7 to navigate around.

So besides griping, is this a sign of things to come?  Granted, I’d bet that most people going to slashdot/github may be more inclined to use alternative browsers that implement web standards more vigorously, but will more websites start foregoing IE?

Ah, when Unix time was 1234567890.  I remember it like it was a couple of hours ago…
