5/17    Tired of the marketing lies on microsoft's (or your competitor's)
        web site?   Put in your own opinions, for others to see!  ThirdVoice
        finally goes public with their software product. Check it out and
        come see the formerly secret new product I've been working on.
        <DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD>  The thirdvoice browser plugin is MSIE4 only, on
        NT/95 of course. -ERic                  Anakin wins the race
        \_ Discussion about <DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD> web site being designed by
                idiots censored by thirdvoice employees who don't want people
                       \_ not anymore
                to know that no one in their company can actually test their
                work.
                \_ dude, get a decent browser
                work.       Episode II is a love story.
                        \_ Just viewing the web page requires MSIE?  Your
                                web designers are complete idiots.  It takes
                                two seconds to put the style sheet inside
                                <!-- --> tags so it won't show up on browsers
                                like netscape 3. (See www.csua for instance).
                                This isn't hard or secret - it's recommended
                                in every guide to CSS style sheets.  Remember
                                designing web pages that are only usable in
                                certain browsers is the same as saying "Fuck
                                you - we don't need your business" to everyone
                                else - not a good way to start a company.
                \_ dude, get a decent browser   (Obi-wan kills Darth Maul)
                \_ Sigh... look, it's a new product, a new company, and I'm
                   sorry your old browser isn't supported.  I won't address
                   the censorship claim.  The motd is world writable and gets
                   regularly scrubbed by numerous people.  Your comments
                   regarding the tags have already been passed along to people
                   in the company who can do something about it.  I'm certain
                   it will be taken care of ASAP.  Thank you for taking the
                   \_ I'm using Netscape 3 - less than 3 years old, thank you.
                   time and effort to visit our home, try out our brand new
                   product and provide constructive feedback.  -reiffin
        \_ oh yeah, its MSIE4 only, on NT/95 of course. bleah
        \_ looks great in non-stylesheet browsers since they didn't hide
                the stylesheets in HTML comment tags.  Try getting some
                web designers who know what they're doing and how to test
                with something other than the latest versions.
                \_ Uhm whatever.  I think you missed the point.  Can you not
                   understand "MSIE4 only" and "NS coming soon"?  -not ERic
                \_ Hey, looks ok to me.  I dunno what crap you're running but
                   tough shit for using an ancient piece of shit client.  Join
                   this decade.
                        \_ FUCK YOU IT"S ALL ABOUT lynx
                           \_ I think the lynx client is still in the
                              'concept' stage.  You'll be the first to know

                              when its beta-ready.  :-)   -reiffin (at
                              Third Voice with ERic)  Anakin wins the race
        \_ oh yeah, its MSIE4 only, on NT/95 of course.
        \_ I like the stupid banner ad on <DEAD>www.thirdvoice.com<DEAD> that
                says "Click here to download the software" and that takes you
                to the same damn page when you click on it.  Perhaps your
                company should invest in testing.
                \_ And software engineers that can do anything besides MS
                   code.  But that's another story...
        \_ And of course, the coolest thing about ThirDvoice is it can make
            anybody's web page as full of stupid and inane comments as the motd!
           \_ Hey, let's make this MOTD thirdvoice-compliant!

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*
