The fact that it crashes IE rather completely is just a boring side effect, I guess.
Geepers, man, isn't anyone paying attention to this?:P We GET the joke, and why it works, that's not the issue. It's crashing current running copies of IE, and I think it's got something to do with headers being passed by Google when you use '-1' as a result offset. The HTML passed is identical, but the headers are slightly different, causing IE to have a heart attack.
I'm trying to find out if this affects older versions, too.
I blew my paltry tax refund on a Zire 71 and never regreted it. Although, I think if it didn't have the (admittedly low quality, but very handy) camera built in, I might have held off and got a Clie.
Runs great, plays my MP3's, takes sneaky pics -- I love it.:P
From the 'wonderful' things I've heard about PocketPC sync software, I'm glad I didn't buy the one I was looking at.
The computers that SBC/SNET's 411 services use are running on old Compaq's running Win95 and this software made by VoltDelta. They crash a lot. Keeps the techs in the green, at least.
...it's QBASIC!! Lemmie know when "C=128 BASIC 7.0 for Dummies" comes out. (I'd actually like to thumb through that, sarcasm aside.)
Seriously though, the one person who comes to mind that I've seen use QBasic with any amount of success is good ol' BUILD Boy, AwesoKen. There's a bit of source on the site, some dealing with voxels and such. It's interesting in the same way as seeing a woman with no arms make a nice painting with a brush between the toes of her feet. You go, girl!:D
Actually it was quite simple to archive the animations. Just grab the.swf itself and click "Play" when the error comes up. It's ridiculous, but hey there you go.
Clicking submit? I wouldn't recommend patening that. I already have a patent a 'visual design to facilitate the submission of data over a networked video typewriter interface'.
Perhaps we can split it though. I'll take rectangular GUI-based submit buttons, and you can have image-based submit buttons.
(But please, before you send off that reply, don't forget the 50 cent royalty in the tip jar to recieve your one-use license to click 'Submit'. This also includes 'Preview'. Thank you.)
I used to write in mine a lot. And I was unemployed. And then back in June I started working for SBC, and now I write in it once every couple weeks, if that. So in my case, there's a direct relation.
Not at all. Last I heard they had all the voice work complete, and was ready to be used. Naturally I could be wrong, but I do know that Kelley died long after the cancellation of this game, so I doubt it was related.

The word 'alpha' lingered around in the background of my mind while writing that but it never made it to the proper place in my brain where the writing was taking place.;)
...nobody can be as good as NASA therefore nobody but NASA should be allowed to launch. But someone can't get as good as NASA because they can't launch...because they aren't as good as NASA...
Great plan, Mr. Heller, but even NASA had to start fresh at one point, and even today they fuck up now and then.
A far better plan would be to assign a voluntary 'chaperone' in the form of an experienced NASA representive work with these people and look things over until he's certain they'd be fine on their own.

You have reaffirmed my hatred for this thing.
The 'Phantom' console is like taking your fingers, and gluing them together, and going "YAY I CAN PLAY PING PONG NOW!"
By the way, you're on fire while you play ping pong and you're also being raped by a goose at the same time.
(Oh I almost forgot, the goose itself is being raped by a chainsaw, so feathers and blood are flying everywhere.)
Congrats, dude.
Hooray, indeed!

Ah, but it revealed something interesting about IE. ;)
I think the fact that the URL breaks IE rather easily is worth an 'interesting' mod.
And smile, for chrissakes, it was supposed to be funny. (Although I'm not certain if the crashing aspect was intentional or not.)
Mmm, you can actually see the humor drain right from it. Astounding!
I pared down the url to it's most basic form, and then used wget to compare the output. It's identical.
So then I used Proxomitron's header watching log to see if anything funny was going on.
Same here, under XP and 6.0.2800.110CIC.xpsp2.030422-1633.
Interesting. (And holy crap that's quite a version number.)

This makes me feel all silly and nice inside. Or maybe it's that burrito I ate. Either way -- yum.

Now I understand, though.
98 is stupid, as well. With mIRC installed, "irc://irc.gamesnet.net/" works just fine in IE.
:P
;))
73 is completely untrue. I use transparent PNG's on my site all the time. Shit, the all-transparent spacer pic is a png.
Bah to this list. (And this comment coming from a guy who loathes MS.

Heh.
