Browser identity crisis

A certain site's javascript afaict has checks to identify whether the browser logging on is NS4 or IE4 or greater. Is there a way to get Mozilla to identify itself as proprietary bro Netscrape?

ls colors oddity

On my system the colors printed by a simple "ls" (actually an alias for "ls --color=auto") differ from the colors when the command is qualified by a file name or wildcard, say, "ls -d *" or "ls configure". With either "ls -d *" or "ls configure", the file name "configure" is printed out in green.

This probably should go to Debian Curiosa. But since this involves an important Debian package, here goes: I did an "apt-get source python2.3" this evening and merrily typed "debuild -b -uc -us" within the build tree. Midway thru what should be an uneventful compile (after I had hacked thru a num
