My stupidity. I went to the wrong website. My instructor wrote IACRA in my logbook along with my FTN number, a username, and a password. I assumed this was how you change your address, request a new certificate, etc. So I googled IACRA.
Of course--once I actually got the IACRA site to load I discovered it was the wrong website and went to the airmen services site.
I love how the government's websites require Internet Explorer which is OS specific.
I think the DoJ should go after the FAA.
How many of your tax dollars do you want spent on supporting 10% of the browsers out there?

I would rather them hire competent developers from the start that code cross platform.

I would respectfully suggest you are a little behind the times (as is the US Government who is involved in an unholy alliance with MS.)

I'd say, when helping customers, that its about a 50/50 split between IE and Firefox. Amazing, but true, Microsoft is finally slipping.
God I can't wait until Linux starts getting the true followers it deserves.

Wasn't it the feds who were prosecuting M$ for anti-trust? Why the heck would the feds then turn around and build a website that can only use Exploder? IDJUTS!

I've wondered the same thing. But, I don't know how much changed since Clinton and Reno was no longer around to kick them.

I don't think that's entirely true. It seems Clinton had his pet corporations as well. All politicians do.
Bill Gates isn't exactly a conservative beyond growing his company and the benefit it brings to his charity efforts. He's made donations to members of both parties as well as both committees.
I may have this wrong but something I read... seems I recall it stating he donated over $58 million last year.

Ugh, Jesse, GDE? Aren't you embarrased to post a screenshot of anything other than KDE?

Perhaps you don't remember the FCC's web site that would ONLY work with a specific version of Netscrape.....
How many of your tax dollars do you want supporting locking in the U.S citizens with a specific multibillion dollar corporation?
Contrary to the belief of some, there is supposed to be a distinction between USA and MSFT.

I had blocked that out. I remember that. What a PIA that was. If I remember correctly it was an old version of Netscape at that!

Yep. It didn't even work with the newer ones. IIRC, it was the ULS site.

Sure is a lot of whining over a piece of software that's FREE. IE costs ZILCH, ZERO, NADA. Yes, it's annoying when a website demands IE, and that's why my computer has BOTH IE and Firefox.

IE is free? Really? Where can I download the Microsoft supplied Internet Explorer for Linux? How about a modern version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS with ActiveX support?
Oh..I.You meant Windows? If so, where can I legally download a free version of Windows?
Internet Explorer is not free.
