Well, it finally happened...I broke something and don't know how to fix it well, that's not quite true - it's not my fault it broke. I updated XFree86 to a slightly newer Gentoo release, and now I can't start it. So, I'm stuck using a text-only browser until the previous version finishes compiling (Read: some time tonight, hours of waiting).
It's not so bad actually, using a text-only browser. Pages load *really* fast with no images slowing things down, and links supports proper table rendering so things aren't that messed up.
It's amazing how well some sites show up (including this one) - I don't know why people think text-only browsers are so bad tbh. Images aren't all that important, I'm realising - they usually don't add any vital content to a page (at least, they shouldn't).
btw, Daniel, how'd you get that message about my browser not supporting CSS to be hidden in a fully-functional browser? seems like it'd be a good thing to add to my site |

yeah, links is good...though it doesn't seem to support http authentication, unless I'm missing something |

The table containing that message has the following CSS:
style="display: none"
A browser that supports CSS will therefore hide the table from view, where as a browser that doesn't support CSS will ignore it and therefore diplay the table.
I think |
