I know of a user who just last week replaced Microsoft's broken Java from years ago (remember when Sun won that lawsuit against Microsoft?) with Sun's Java (which now also has the Oracle name on it) -- it was like pulling teeth, but they finally agreed to update it so that they could get on a web site that uses a Java applet.
Visitors arrived either through... through advertisements on other sites, and Aptiquant made a note of which browser each test taker was using.
I've clicked on many of those I.Q. test advertisements and answered them, just for fun. I found them very easy (because the questions were ridiculously simple), so if these were the same tests then that means I effectively "voted for Opera" at least 30 times during the past 12 months. (For those who scored really low on those tests, I prefer to assume that they were just drunk or high.)
Everyone should fire up Lynx and browse to that web site so they can start wondering what mystery is behind all the Lynx activity the next time they analyze their access.log file.
...or a very carefully planned attempt at encouragement (to get smarter then come back to Opera) that also happens to smell a little bit like reverse psychology.
This sounds like something right out of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I think the DSLR setting you're looking for, whatever it is, must be set to 42.
Taking serial to new extremes. T-1 down and telco says its not their equipment that's at fault? Take matters into your own hands and assure them it's their problem.
Ha ha, this one's a classic! But nobody would ever do this -- after all, everyone loves their phone company!
Default router password lists are a very important tool for matters such as this. This is slowly becoming less useful though as more and more users are actually reading the product manuals and changing the administrator password from its default before unintentionally serving DHCP to the internet.
Prior art probably already exists for this patent...
I had an assistant print my eMails for me so that I could read them years before wireless internet routers were even being produced (back in the early 1990s). By holding those hardcopy eMails in my hands to read them, I was reading my eMail in a wireless fashion.

Ha! Now you're just making theoretical computing as fun as theoretical physics!
I can see it now -- Opera's new slogan:
"Get Smart! Get Opera."
"I feel like the good times of slashdot are over, and only idiots and nostalgic users are still around."
Don't forget us trolls!
Hey! Stop lumping me in with the trolls, you damned troll!

What about super-lazy fat slobs with large, ha ha ha?
You can probably still upgrade...
Is your real name Douglas Adams, by any chance?

That's impressive!

How can you even stay relevant in business IT administration when you're running the one OS that nobody else in the company but the CEO is using?
If you and the CEO are the only ones using the same OS, then you probably have a lot more job security than you realize.
Well, they forgot lynx users...
Unless it was a web-based IQ test
You obviously forgot that Lynx is a web browser.
Al Gore can probably explain it best since he invented the internet and warned us all of global warming!
I mostly come here for humour, and once again I'm not disappointed!

You can use the "-strip" command-line option with ImageMagick's "convert" utility to strip out all the metadata from an image prior to uploading it.
That was hilarious. Will there ever be a sequel?
Assuming this study wasn't entirely automated, what was the margin of error?

Ah, yes, what network technician hasn't felt the sting of the old "cat5 o' eight tails"?
You're thinking of the Cat5 o' Nine Tails -- or maybe you just lost count because you were on the receiving end of one?
