It's just funny, I didn't realize before just how easy it is to google-bomb someone.  We should do this for Freespace sometime, see if it gets us some more hits.

Got XP? Try a system restore, it normally pwns any nastyness. You can reset your computer to a previous date's setup, its handy if you've installed soemthing by accident.

Bob: found some 2500 files, about a third of which aren't game, graphic, or otherwise accounted for. None of which are executables or otherwise particularly suspect-looking at first glance. Hoo-boy.

Beat: Yeah, right. Might as well reformat my drive, while I'm at it. See above.

01010: Thanks, I'll look into that. Might pare down my search time a good bit.

Stratt: Don't joke, it's disgusting behavior and the people who do it should be banned from all telecommunications activities for life. And castrated, so that they don't spread their vile, irritating seed. Plus, you'd need a set of blogs- actually, strike that, all blog owners in general should be castrated. Except for the, like, four who don't suck ass, who should just recieve a stern warning.

Sandwich: Just found out that the HTML techniques for WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.0 document recommends not using the title attribute on imgs (in Section 10.2). It's still a draft though.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Huh! Very interesting. Note this part (esp. in bold):

[q]The semantics of title are too easily confused with alt and longdesc and user agent support is extremely inconsistent.[/q]

And from here:

[q]Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object).[/q]

Basically the reason they recommen against it is because f the inconsistent support on browsers.. however, apparently the latest versions of the main browsers (except Opera and Mac browsers - I can't test those) do support the title attribute properly.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

Shut up, the both of you. The little highlight **** doesn't matter. At all. Just code your own pages properly, there won't be a problem- the ****ty way other people do their pages shouldn't be an issue.


Anyway. For the record, the perpetrator appears to be InternetAntiSpy.com (though for the first few days the actual page cycled between several, making it hard to pinpoint) who, among other slimy actions, use the fact that they can read and display your IP when you visit their page as a sample of how "at risk" your computer is. Lovely people, really, must say I'd love to share a room with them for about half an hour, and that the pleasure wouldn't be mutual.

And adding the page to my "restricted sites" seemed to work, though it may be too early to tell.

I don't care about that- derailed threads are fine in my book, give something to look at. What I do care about is it being derailed by something so stupid. This was getting to be worse than a "Windows/Linux sucks" back-and-forth, and getting worse than that without dragging in Star Wars is pretty impressive.
