So far it sounds like the system requirements for the page amounts to using a Windows OS.

"If yer not usin' Windows, whaddayahere for?"

But don't worry, if you're not using Windows there's an advert for OEM versions of XP Professional you can click on....

    Works here, Suse 9.3 in Firefox 1.04 and Konqueror 3.4.0.

      Works for me as well Linux/Firefox, Linux/Mozilla, Windows/Firefox. Though, my computers have been complaining about feeling "tainted" since opening that page.

        Heh.

        Lynx/FBSD was o.k., but Mozilla/FBSD and Opera/FBSD both load about 3/4th of the page and hang. I guess I need to check something Java-wise ... I had jdk installed, but maybe it's borken now. AAMOF nothing is working/loading very well today ... I think the cows must be standing around the dish again .... 😃

        Heh heh. I think I see black helicopters behind every cloud....

        Stormtroopers from the Redmond Base of the Empire's North American Satrapy moved within LOS view of Berkeley today, where elements of FMnet "militia" are said to be holding out "to the last man" according to a vidblog that was syndicated to about a half million Imperial nodes before a counter-worm was released this morning.

        "We've got the bastards where we want 'em now," Field Marshal Ballmer said in a press blogging from his new NOCbase in Oakland this afternoon. "They can't last much longer." Imperial staff stated that the surprise amphibious landing from the Bay area late Sunday had produced a "pincers movement" that had allowed stalemated ground troops moving southward to "busta moveon" today.

        The few remaining FCnet transmitters in the South Bay area are under increasing pressure from jammers, and the existence of "FreeNet" on the continent seems to be in jeopardy, aside from a number of hidden, apparently mobile satlinks that Ballmer characterized as "insignificant gnats" last week.

        With the fall of Boston last month, elimination of the rebels would cement the empire's hold on the North American continent and clear the way for the invasion of the FEU.

        Linus Torvalds, appointed as "Uni-Mod" after February's assassination of Richard Stallman, has hinted that technology now exists within FCnet in Europe that would "make it difficult for the Softies to (sic)'bust our fwall'. 4.2.38b will protect the Free European Union from invasion for at least a picoeon."

        But reports from Empire headquarters indicate that scientists believe their next release, "BigHorn 9" will be able to perform data injection into the heart of the Freeware Coalition's remaining bastion of resistance.

        A re-issue of Divine Emperor Gates' statement that 'the anticonformists must die or be assimilated' was posted to the Empire's main-term and portal headers throughout the world Saturday evening.

        Hmm, been weird lately, I have .... :queasy:

            You're the one with it in your sig! 😉

              I know... and there is a huge discussion about it, including the reasons why the Børkïnâtør was invented in the first place 🙂 Do a search for it -- it's a fairly funny discussion.

                As are so many of these.

                I'm either going to go shoot some wannabe geeks at my NSP, or commit seppuku, or both if stuff doesn't get better.

                  I'll check it out - I never saw it here before.

                    6 days later

                    Well, no --- that was the "closing" thread for a period in EL history. The real thread is here.

                    And, incidentally, my NSP crashed/disappeared sometime last night/overnight. There was a thunderstorm, but I don't know if it's responsible for the outage.

                    I left the office to go somewhere I could get online after a couple hours of thumb-twiddling this morning. When I got back around 9:45 p.m., they were back up with a vengeance, and all browsers are loading all pages just fine.

                    I did get to play with "dillo", though. Looks kinda cool, but I think we're kinda blessed that we don't have to work around its "bugs", as it 'twere....

                      Oh dillo; I thought you wrote something else there for a second.

                      Note to all: you probably know this already but I just wanted to make sure you did: mixing CSS styling and non-CSS styling makes for one seriously godawful ugly page when the former doesn't get rendered.

                        Few things in life make me literally laugh out loud, but this was one of them.

                          That's OK; we will keep it a secret. If you click "edit", you could even go back and delete the umm, confesHHHHHevidence. 😉

                          Weedpacket is a good one to find opportunity, though; although I wonder if he's sober ATM; what time is it over there? Or perhaps it's just a high screen res and his 9 point type 😃

                            Happily it wasn't my machine nor my browser: think 800x600, no CSS (so no 9pt type, dalecosp), no PNG, the default font fixed on Times New Roman. Try it someday. Oh, and a tinted antistatic screen that you just could not get the dust off of. And that's just the appearance.

                              OK... you're using a browser without PNG and CSS support on an 800x600 screen. So it wasn't a case of small type.

                              Does sound a tad like a case of Windoze/IE, though 😃

                              Although I seem to recall you preferring Firefox . . .
