One way around this is to change you're user agent. The UA tells the world what browser you're using, and what operating sytem you're using. For example, your UA is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090403 SeaMonkey/1.1.16 This tells me you're using winXP [thats NIT 5.1], you're using the US version of SeaMonkey, version 1.1.16.
