Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism
darthcamaro writes "Looks like there was an online free-for-all on Microsoft's chat servers yesterday with Internet Explorer engineers. Several interesting things come out in the story including the fact that the IE big wig thinks that all of his engineers should have other browsers installed to see what they can do and, catch this...he thinks they're the underdog. 'I've worked at Microsoft for 14 years and I have always felt like the underdog,' said Hachamovitch. 'Maybe the road behind us looks easy, but at the time going it wasn't. I welcome the feedback today. Getting informed is the only way I know to get better. The day we don't get heated feedback I'll be concerned.'" Reader nkodengar notes that "Microsoft has posted an article on MSDN listing everything that will be affected by the the updates to Internet Explorer in Service Pack 2. This will be particularly important to developers who use ActiveX controls, pop-up windows and file download counters in their websites..."

I have no sex joke, but would like a GMAIL invite. I will work on the joke, though... and send it to you from my new GMAIL account. Just kidding... DAMNIT!! Of all of the jokes I've heard, I can't remember a one of them. OK, not sex really, but here's the best I have for now: A guy walks into the psychiatrist's office wearing nothing but Saran Wrap. The doctor says, "Clearly, I can see your nuts."
(P.S. GMAIL invites! I woke up this morning and saw that my other gmail account got 2 new invites, so if you reply with a funny joke about sex and befriend me, I'll give em out to my two favorite ones.)
1) funny joke about sex
2) gmail invite from Real Troll Talk
3) ????
4) Profit!
Oh yea, I went there.
Or...
You're asking Slashdot readers for funny jokes about sex? Not gonna happen, everyone knows that in order to joke about anything you must understand it first!
Ok maybe not funny but it's the best I could do on such short notice with my boss hovering around, plus I befriended you!

Q-what is boobs and bush? A-the White House, of course- what did you think?

You mention 13th floor, which leads to an interesting bit of trivia.
On older Macs(not sure how old it has to be, I know System 7.5.5 through 8.1 work, 9 may also), typing 13thfloor into the address bar of a browser(tested to work in MSIE 4.5 and Netscape Communicator 4.7) would redirect to www.apple.com
How's that for useless information?
You should use AdiumX on your Mac.
Umm... I own an MGB, and before I replaced the whole damned rear axle this is EXACTLY what I had to do. One big nut. Seriously.
oh you mean thats different than how the world court in the netherlands thinks they have jurisdiction over the entire freaking world?
oh you mean thats different than how the french think they are the major power in europe and are so much better, more cultured, and have a better language than the rest of the world?
If you like this joke, feel free to email a gmail invite.
Thanks.
One day two blondes walk into a perfume shop. The one blonde picks up a bottle of perfume that is titled "Viens Chez Moi."
The blonde asks the manager what it means, and the manager says it means, "Come to Me."
So the blonde smells the perfume and asks her friend, "Does this smell like come to you? Because it doesn't smell like come to me."
My email addy is: olivier_blasi [AT] email.com
Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed the joke

I have actually repaird a quad bike where the rear axle was so fouled up with gunk and baler twine that I had to chisel my way through to the hub nuts, cut them off, draw the hubs off the axle, and then cut the studs off the hub to get the wheels off...
And my old Citroen GSA, with its *huge* hubs (three studs on about a 9" spacing) and inboard brakes - often it's as easy just to undo the hub nut and pull the hub, wheel and all. There's no brake disc or caliper out at the wheel, which frightens the spotty 16-year-olds at the local Kwik-Fsck tyre and exhaust cheap-o-rama.
Should I sacrifice some karma to whore for a gmail invite?? Ok, I'll bite.
Little boy comes home one day with a question for Dad. "I've been hearing some kids at school talking, and I want to ask you something."
"What's that, son?"
"What's the difference between a pussy and a cunt?"
"What!?!? Where did you hear that?"
"Just from some kids talking. Can't you tell me?"
Dad thinks for a minute. "Okay, son," he says. "I guess you're old enough to have questions like that. I'm glad you came to me."
He leads the little boy upstairs, where his wife is asleep in the bed. Very slowly and quietly, he lifts up the blanket to expose the wife's legs. Then he lifts up her night shirt to expose her nether regions. "See that, boy?" he whispers to the young lad, "That's pussy."
The little boy, watching intently, slowly stretches his hand out toward the bed.
"No, no!" the father urges quietly. "Don't touch it... You'll wake up the cunt!".
Hee hee.

A farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster and he wants chicks.So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster.The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster, named Randy; "he'll service every chicken you've got. No problem." Well, Randy the rooster is a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So , he buys Randy. The farmer takes Randy home and sets him down in the barnyard, giving the rooster a pep talk, "Randy, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here and you cost me a lot of money and I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said with a chuckle. Randy seemed to understand, so the farmer points towards the hen house and Randy took off like a shot - WHAM! He nails every hen on there THREE or FOUR times and the farmer is just shocked. Randy runs out of the hen house and sees a flock of geese down by the lake - WHAM! He gets all the geese. Randy's up in the pigpen. He's in with the cows. Randy is jumping on every animal the farmer owns. The farmer is distraught, worried that his expensive rooster won't even last the day. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day to find Randy dead as a dodo in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Randy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself." Randy opens one eye, and looks towards the buzzards flying overhead and says, "Shhh. They're getting closer...."
OK, here is a reply to your article with a joke that involves sex. Pick me! Pick me!!
A 54-year-old accountant leaves a letter for his wife one evening which read: "Dear Wife, I am 54 years old, and by the time you get this letter I will be at the Grand Hotel with my beautiful and sexy eighteen year old secretary."
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a letter waiting for him that read as follows: "Dear Husband, I too am 54 years old, and by the time you receive this letter I will be at the Savoy Hotel with my eighteen year old toy boy. Because you are an accountant, you will surely appreciate that l8 goes into 54 many more times than 54 goes into 18."

Go grab those torrents.
Why not donate the GMail invites to GMail4Troops? (http://www.gmail4troops.com). Some slashdot user with a "CleverNickName" is promoting the idea.

There was a woman who slept with a donkey. The donkey woke up in the middle of the night and pissed and shat all over her room. When she woke up in the morning the donkey had kicked open the door and escaped. The woman said to herself "That's the last time I go looking for a piece of ass at the Grand Canyon".
Ok, it wasn't funny but I made it up just for you,friend.
