For Jeremy, when he was talking about Opera (browser) disguising itself as IE.

I use Opera (and it is AWESOME, and free, All that crap about it having ads is untrue, that was a loooong time ago), and in it there is a drop-down menu for individual sites to disguise itself as a different browser. It is as follows:

-
Browser Identification
Identify as Opera [default]
Identify as Firefox
Identify as Internet Explorer
Mask as Firefox
Mask as Internet Explorer
-

The identify options allow light disguising, maybe if a site asks if it what browser it is.
The mask options /really/ disguise it, if a site forces it to tell what browser it is, you use these. I've never used the identify options, I just use the masks. You need them for certain things, like when some sites only enable options in certain browsers, or if a site only lets you enter it with a certain browser. For example if a site only has an option enabled for IE, Opera will be able to use that option.
