Bastard, I was about to post that:

My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. Because of their user bases, however, Web developers are hamstrung into developing for IE at the expense of established standards that work well in all other browsers. You can turn the tide by demanding more from Microsoft and by using a better alternative Web browser. I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Macintosh only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well.

Actually, I wasn't making fun of that, I didn't even notice it.  I was laughing at the first part.  *fixes quote for clarity*

*notes that the only browsers which pass the test are for Macs*

This should say something about the ACID test and the overall impact on passing it. I personally think the whole 'standards' deal is a load of crap. Its never going to come to pass that everything will be standards complaint. People have written browser specific code for things like IE6 that aren't forewards compatible. As such Microsoft will get ripped a new one by half the people if they break these sites but the other half will give them hell if they don't.

Its a nice dream that someday you'll be able to write html that will display the same in all browsers. The biggest example that this is never going to happen is C/C++. Its been around for a long time and still suffers problems from compilers that break standards or have bugs, etc.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
