I am enjoying it, but i detect the faint odor of Photoshop possibly...........

nope.. it's legit.. well as legit as crop circles get (IE people went out and made it)


Like I said, OSU is a boring place to go.

Crap. If the aliens are moving away from MS software, that's one less weapon in our arsenal when they come to invade us :nervous:

So the Independence Day aliens were using MS? :p

How else do you think they were able to upload a virus so easily? The aliens were running windows, and using a non password-protected wireless LAN no less, making it even easier. They really were asking for it if you ask me :D

The Firefox team here at OSU is pretty known for stuff like this. When they had 50 million downloads of their browser, they drew in chalk a giant version of the Firefox logo in the Memorial Union Quad here at OSU. Then, at 100 million downloads, they launched (with the help of Oregon Space Grant, my employer) a high-altitude weather balloon with a giant Firefox poster and camera attached. I helped design and launch that payload. We never recovered it, however. I imagine it was torn apart by the jet stream. The crop circle is the latest Firefox stunt I've seen/heard of.

You can see their weather balloon stunt here:

I dont know what's more offensive.  Nerds making cropcircles, or nerds making cropcircles about firefox.  If they wanted to do it right, it should have been opera, not some piece of overhyped ****.

I'm not sure you understand though. These aren't just random nerds who use Firefox. Oregon State is home to the open source lab that writes it. It wouldn't make sense if they made an Opera crop circle when they're writing/supporting/etc-ing Firefox and the lab that works on it.

I prefer using IE all together.  I ahd firefox but its too hard to totally integrate. and It always botherd me when I couldnt get certain sites to work.  After that I jsut left it.  I uninstalled it a few days ago.
