Slashdot plays fast and loose with HTML in an attempt to do visual effects that were not contemplated in the language design. I don't get crashes when I view it under Netscape, but rendering of the default presentation *is* exceedingly slow due the complexity of the pages. I recommend registering and setting your options so that you see just plain text instead of the visual effects. Rendering time is shortened by about 10X, and you don't have to look at all the silly "Tux the Penguin" icons. --Brett At 12:20 PM 10/26/1999 -0400, Brett Taylor wrote: >Hi, > >I didn't figure this was worthy of a real email to -questions, but.... > >There'd been talk recently of Netscape and Slashdot not liking each other. >I'd seen this some, but usually when I was trying to submit a story.
