Anti-IE..
<?php
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
	ob_start();
	header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK');
	echo str_pad('',4096);
	ob_flush();
	flush();
	sleep(20);
}
?>
an IE penalty, don't loose visitors, just frustrate them a little, never know they may try firefox and see it works that bit faster :)

    Bah!  You're right, I changed it to just be an easter egg in the
code.  The original (now commented out) was:
<?
    if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
        die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
    }
?>

    It initially started to try to stop cURL, wget, Lynx, and other
automated clients from grabbing the content from the page.  Again, I
know that headers can be spoofed, but that's a different topic.  I try
to make a joke and Stut shoots me in the ass.  ;-P

I've got to ask, why on earth would you want to do this? Robots and things like wget I could understand more, but purposefully cutting out a large chunk of your audience?
