I've been on Bulbanews all day on Firefox. Internet Explorer... doesn't always work best.

Solution: don't ever use IE. HTTP 406 isn't a format, it's an error code. It means the content generated by the webpage is "not acceptable" to the browser, for some reason or another; this is likely related to IE being the absolute bottom of the barrel of web browsers (especially IE6; IE7+ gets a little better).

Firefox is free and awesome, and doesn't have gaping holes for viruses, so get that. Plus, then you can see the roundyness that everyone loves.

406 on Bulbanews, eh?

Also that.

It's IE, therefore IE sucks. Did it start before or after Archaic forced us to kill Roundy?

It's probably the same cause as ever (i.e. mod_security filtering based on User-Agent and other stuff).

fwi, omni web works great too.
just that though.

Why does it do that, then? And how come it's unacceptable?
