It's not that I mind that websites detect what browsers I'm using, and
change what they show me. It's that most sites don't seem to let me
override it.
Who came up with this stupid idea? Look, trust me, my browser _can_ cope
with the website. It's considerably less useless than your detection
software.
Oh, and today, the classic. Trying to download the Java runtime for a
windows PC, and I'm using my mac. The webserver detects that I've using a
Mac, and offers me the mac version, but _won't_ let me manually chose the
windows version!
Damn, I'll guess I'll have to go find a Windows PC to do this download
this on.
GAH.
