Give IE away for free?

May 30th, 2003

I like the way Microsoft work. There is a certain style to their evilness, don’t you think?

bq. As part of the agreement, Microsoft will give a new royalty-free, seven-year licence of its browsing technology to AOL.

I once sold a batch of “Tissue Compression Eliminators”:http://www.kasterborus.com/tardis/baddies/master/ to the Cybermen. I didn’t tell them about the gold handles on that particular version of the TCE that caused their systems to seize up and crash. It was funny watching them lurch around, clutching their respiratory boxes. The tried to attack me but couldn’t get their positions right. Ended up shooting themselves.

Pyramids of Mars

A pretty good history of humans pathetic attempts to get to Mars. Of course, I’ve not been there myself, wouldn’t want to get on Sutekh’s bad side.

However, it misses out vital information on the lumbering reptiles, the Ice Warriors and “how the British landed on Mars in 1999″:http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/ebooks/dyingdays/

I’m all in favour of Entitlement cards. Oh yes, it’ll be far easier to control my minions with these in place. Then I’ll be able to rule the country with ease. Then the world, and from there I’ll be Master of the Universe

To prove a point, I’m not going to explain anything about this link. Infer what you will from the URI.

Consider this a pingback test.

Meta XML Magpie

As “Aquarion found”:http://www.dellah.com/orient/2003/05/29/i_blame_microsoft.shtml#comment346 I have XML feeds for the individual entries. I think they are useful to follow comment threads. Of course, shamelessly stolen from “Phil”:http://philringnalda.com/ (can one out magpie a magpie ?)

Other minor tweaks; fixed a display bug where you couldn’t click on the “add comment” link easily (thanks “gil”:http://avocadia.net/); turned the order of the comments in the comments feed upside down because it looked odd in the aggregator; and stole another idea from Phil where there is a link to the actual entry in each comment so that “SharpReader”:http://www.sharpreader.net/ threads them together (makes readings Phil’s comments very easy).
