  1. Re:Underdog on Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism · · Score: 1
    I propose the use of "berdog" in such situations.

    For the sake of choice, I'd like to submit "doglog" as a descriptive term for Microsoft.

  2. Re:Oh my... on Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism · · Score: 1
    Then a bunch of things changed, and Microsoft got blamed for the shittty support.

    IIRC, CSS1 was finalized in 1996, years before the current version of Internet Explorer was released. Microsoft is blamed for shitty support of a standard that was available for at least four years before they released their product.

  3. Underdog! on Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can't you just see Ballmer up on stage in red PJs and a blue cape that's way too long?


    when Netscapes in this world appear
    and break the laws that they should fear
    and frighten all who see or hear
    the cry goes up both far and near
    for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

    It's really hard to beleive that Microsoft would seriously listen to any criticism when they STILL deliberately send broken CSS to competing browers. Visiting MSJVM support info in Opera with Opera or Mozilla as the user-agent gets the "negative left margin" style. Choose IE as user-agent and it's fine.

  5. 27 on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Actually, he's now at 27 wins and $868,960. 19 more wins and he ties the record for appearances on a gameshow. Some guy made 46 Tic-Tac-Toe shows in a row, but I don't remember the name.

    Perhaps I did point out many things that ADS and sysprep can prevent Windows from installing. More to the point of what I was trying to say: How do you keep Windows from installing ANY GUI elements regardless of whether there is a display connected or not? Perhaps I missed that section on the page you linked to.

    On a headless server, you don't need them taking up disk space, memory or processor time.
