opera 9.62 gets 1 less than 9.61, just 84/100.

Actually i get a 85 here with opera 9.62, i think the test lags or something. opera 9x are not going to pass the test fully but i suspect opera 10 will fully pass it.

They are very important, but ACID 2 is more important because it is more applicable today than ACID 3 is. Eventually passing ACID 3 will be relevant, but my understanding is that today, it is not, hence my pessimistic attitude toward whether something passes it now or not :)

acid 3's things it tests for will continue to remain irrelevant, because it doesn't really test for anything in particular. It tests for random parts of various standards that browsers were failing at the time.

There's no cohesion.

I thought this test had been released long ago (perhaps 6 months I think?). Anyhow, I remember getting higher than 90, with Opera if I remember correctly. Couldn't reproduce it on reload though, somehow strange. o.o Anyhow, to all those wondering on IE's score, I think they should first attempt to succeed the second test before even trying the third.

As far as I can tell, 20 is a larger number than 12.

I could be wrong.

As far as I know the number has no bearing on whether it's better or not.

It's either the browser passes; or it doesn't. There's no grey area.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
