IE is still a bit behind in W3C standards, and I've found that it displays some designs I've made differently to Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. The first browser war was just messy (2 contenders in 1 market is not good), but the broad number of players now is benefiting, as you said, the user.

The real problem lies in the very good papers that get rejected. I'm not talking about bad papers that deserve to be rejected, but really strong papers that get rejected for the wrong reasons, including (but not limited to) the following: 1. Could be due to the fact that the reviewer(s) did not actually take the time to read and understand the paper. 2. Since other "bad" papers might have gotten accepted by mistake, thus taking a spot which could have been left to a better paper. I guess this all means that the reviewers have to put in a little more effort to be as fair as possible. By the way, I guess the page I pointed to has been removed, I couldn't find it again :( The way I see it, the problem is not just in the “unworthy” papers that get accepted.

The charts in the Experimental results section were disastrous.. The ironic part is that the authors actually mention in some paragraph in that section that the results they got displayed an awkward behavior that they intend to improve in "Future work"! (that's the beauty of the Future Work section). Some researchers submit papers that may be missing some parts or need more work to be done, for the sake of getting useful feedback from the Conference judges. Actually, I've done that once, and although the paper was rejected but the feedback was very beneficial. In some cases though, the paper does get accepted due to improper review like the one described in the link you referenced (Which btw gives Access Denied message). Maybe a good solution is to increase the number of judges, you know, get more opinions and see what the majority ends up with. Thank you for the implied, in-direct tips. In my next paper, I will focus on the first few pages only :-) Your post reminded me of a paper that I’ve come across that implements some evolutionary computation algorithm.
