Oh, that's sooooo lame..... If that's some kinda joke on microsoft, surprise, they don't own the internet. Unix does. HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, stuff like that. Microsoft coudn't run the internet even if they tried.
*sigh*, thats about the cheapest programming I ever saw, I could do that in my second week of VB class, but mine was a bit more productive:p

Don't knock the bots... Dynamix really hit the big one with these bots. The difficulty slider *ACTUALLY* makes the bots harder... Up until the point that they can MA you consecutively with discs, no matter where you are. (MA meaning Mid-Air shot). I usually set the bots at a centimetre or so below the highest setting... But it doesn't matter... I prefer humanoids anyday.
I've played against BOT, they are'nt too brigth and always MA you, I would prefer playing a human, even if it's Jester

I thought it was rather funny.
And yes, Microsoft owns most of everything, sad, but true. It's hard to precieve the capabilities that Microsoft has with it's influence. In essence what Microsoft says, goes. So far they have the most advanced browser and they keep making it better, the other guys are having a hard time keeping up.. This is why Microsoft gets sued for having a monopoly, it's true. Living in denial is a disgusting and ignorant thing. However, ignorance IS bliss at often times.
In ANY case, this webpage was not designed to say "Microsoft owns the internet" but was rather to simulate your copy of windows (the most popular brand of OS in the world) had shut down the internet, made me laugh anyhow.

exactly... I hope you're not yelling at me, Mustang... You're scary when you yell...
I got the joke, it's just that the programming was lame, and it did'nt even close your browser, *sigh*, the programming of that page would be this:

Worked for me, screen went blank with internet shut down words.
I got the splash screen, press crtl-alt-del close it, but the web browser was still there

Yeah, or alt+f4 closes it. It wasnt meant to really close your browser I dont think.

Alright, this is getting pretty close to BITCHIN'... I'm closing this thread, and forcing you guys to bitch about in Stang's Bitch Pit... :lol...
I think it was just a joke made just to laugh at the shut down sequence of windows, even do I modified mine to my AV showing up when my computer is shutting down, I get the joke
