Now if you wanna run at the fuckin mouth and try and claim
it doesn't work, by all means, provide a SPECIFIC combination of OS
and browser that it DOESN'T work on, until then, yer just a fuckin
retard runnin at the mouth.

Quit backpedalling and step the fuck up, Poser. Either you can name a
specific mainstream OS and browser combo that the script doesn't work
on or you're full of shit as a Thanksgiving turkey.

Sorry, Stupid, but the script is necessary. I'm sure the shit you
slurped up out of Google and didn't properly comprehend told you to
use feature detection rather than browser detection, however there is
no feature detection that can be used for PNG alpha transparency
support and PNG gamma support.

Of course, the deficients you're slurping on Google wouldn't know that
because the majority of them are so boxed in they automatically think
that full PNG support isn't even available. Check it, Stupid...

Now tell me how I achieved the fade effect when you scroll the text.
Now tell me of even ONE site on the whole of the fucking Inet that has
that effect. Oh hey, free cl00, YOU CAN'T.

There's a difference between being a web professional (aka college
know nothing) and being a web artist...guess which end you're
molesting out of ignorance.
