it it me, or did a LOT of people get their panties in a twist yesterday?



please don't go badge!

Point proven. 

I know, but I'm a Spag and I'm Proud.

"I am speaking to you from the Tools Menu on Internet Explorer.

This morning the Microsoft Spider Bot in Opera handed Opera Users a final packet stating that, unless we hear from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their cookies from Netscape Navigator, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this browser is at war with Opera.

You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win peace has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more or anything different that I could have done and that would have been more successful.

Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged a peaceful and honourable settlement between Opera and Netscape Navigator, but Triple Zero would not have it. He had evidently made up his mind to attack Netscape Navigator, whatever happened, and although he now says he put forward reasonable proposals which were rejected by the Netscape Navigators, that is not a true statement.

The proposals were never shown to the Netscape Navigators, nor to us, and though they were announced in a Opera broadcast on Thursday night, Triple Zero did not wait to hear comments on them but ordered his cookies to cross the Netscape Navigator frontier the next morning.

His action shows convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force.

We and Chrome are today, in fulfilment of our obligations, going to the aid of Netscape Navigator, who is so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack upon her people. We have a clear conscience - we have done all that any browser could do to establish peace.

The situation in which no word given by Opera's super user could be trusted, and no user or browser could feel itself safe, has become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it I know that you will play your part with calmness and courage.

At such a moment as this the assurances of support which we have received from the Microsoft Group of companies are a source of profound encouragement to us.

When I have finished speaking, certain detailed announcements will be made on behalf of the Internet Explorer update facility. Give these your closest attention. The Internet Explorer update facility have made plans under which it will be possible to carry on work of the browser in the days of stress and strain that may be ahead...

Now may Tim Berners-Lee bless you all. May He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against - brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution - and against them I am certain that right will prevail."

@ Payne.

I knew I should have gone on IRC yesterday.

I think this will work better as an ARG than a LARP per se (since a LARP tends to be geographically defined, whereas an ARG, with its online component, is not bounded by such quibbles) but I'll want to look at the logs before making any sort of sweeping judgements like that.

Oh, damn.

hehe... #nerdspag was On Fire last night.

Cram we need to discuss another character class/ type  to go on there.

And the Social Networking site is fucking gorgeous!

Might write The Birth of LARPGASM for it.

 

I use chrome!

it loads quicker on my shit computer.

Because Opera controlled Stalin, if you look closely with this specially filtered picture of the Yalta Conference, you can see that Opera is only for RAGING COMMUNISTS.

Because it was the REAL Vice-Pres candidate with McCain. You can only see The Truth if you use Opera and perform a complex mouse gesture though.

the comments say good things.

but at $16 a CAN! gtfo..

Rat, you can get the clear cellulose in diff colours as well, which is swote.

This thread is both more and less cool than what I expected.

all marijuana related conversations online get like this, mostly. Troof.

the pic was cool,

obviously anyone whose ever smoked a joint knows if ya don't use a roach it does nothing, trip.

Rik Mayall was amazing, my mum used to let me watch it when I was about 6.

How long now?

Ok, Now your shitlist rating has dropped.

lentils aren't so bad in stews with some chicken. I hated em whilst living in the permaculture camp, cos nae fucker soaked em properly. So much so something revolting gave me Lentil Face (eat lentils, make extreme revulsion face) for months until I found someone who can cook.  And add meat.

And the reson most communes are mostly veggie/vegan? Its fucking cheap to live on. £10 per head for three weeks.

Altho keeping chickens for eggs and the occasional bird for the table is a smart move.

Also I am used to cooking food for shit loads of people and can cook the range from omnivore to stinking vegan, and am not adverse to finding solutions to big differences in diet.

I been learning the Art of Pun from Trip, I thinks.

Separating living space and public space might prove tricksy...

anyone here with any construction skills? Or will we just have tents indoors?

Also I have mad scrounging and trashpicking skills.

I've done construction at this level, non support structure walls.  Pretty simple, frame, sheetrock, smooth and paint.  The one tricksy part is doing the electrical work and not having a building inspector shut the place down later on.  Something that should be looked at is either home renovation rules (IE, is it possible to do it for yourself without a license) and the possibility of getting people on track for licensed electrical/plumbing/general contracting for a given possible area.

Also what cities have mixed zoning where we could live in a factory without having the city harass us more than usual?

yes these regs would be something that local authorities if they took a dislike would use against such a plan.
