Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
(Read More)

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

The Telectroscope and the Wonders of the Internet

Entertainment at its best

By OckhamsRazor Posted May 21, 2008 14:45:48

I'm not going to say much about it.  the Internet has been a fascinating thing to me since I first started browsing using Lynx (text only) circa 1992 or 3.  There's a lot of rough to slog through for that diamond, but every now and then someone puts an inordinate amount of time into creating something totally preposterous.  So preposterous you just have to give a nod and a smile in their direction.

 

Just go check out this site and come back and giggle with me.  That's not too much to ask, is it?  And if you know of other similar things, link em to me here.  I love this kind of stuff.

Why would anyone in New York wanna look at a bunch of limeys, wogs, and tourists?   (Or vice versa?)

Heh, you're a weirdo, Ock.  I love ya.

Hmm. Not sure what to think about that yet.

You want to see something funny? See something funny.

Or, perhaps even funnier.

(I'd just like to point out that normal Mormons don't actually believe this sort of thing.)

Just in case the point got missed (not responding to anyone in particular) it isn't the "stuff like Telectroscopes that you find on the Net" that amuses me.  It's the extraordinary lengths people will go to make a ruse look true.  They didn't just stop at making the website with the idea but created an entire detailed backstory for it.

 

Got give them some credit for web design and creativity

The Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a false religion!!!!!

The Church Of The SubGenius is the one true religion!

WWW Link

Ock, looks like the folks who created that site must be huge fans of the onion.

On a side note, I have always preferred Links to Lynx since it was introduced but remember using Lynx quite a bit back in the day.

I love sites like this, obviously well made and very convincing.  I wonder how many people actually believe the Telectroscope exists?

Thanks for the laugh.
