He should add one of these to the sidebar:



It would help the cause loads

OOG - I wonder if MC have been a bit sneaky here by fouling up the CSS in such a way that it wouldn't work on I.E?

AFAIK Internet Explorer is still the predominant browser out there (if not the Browser of choice) so maybe MC thought they'd test the waters, put up a slightly fouled site (Nothing too bad, just a slight design error) and then see how long it would be before they started getting mails and also how many mails they got. That could be a good way of judging how many people are taking part in the game? (Of course is could just be sloppy coding that wasn't checked on anything other than Firefox but??)

Great minds Enigmaster

I mailed him the following earlier

[tanner]

Hey..

My RSS reader says someone named "Melody" wrote those posts, not Kurt. I use Safari's RSS feed reader. Anyone else notice this?

[NovacaineX]

Safari says Kurt wrote it for me, might have been changed.

Also in IE it seems to work fine now.

[ProfMoriarty]

It must have been changed, because it shows as Kurt for me now as well.

Are the PMs reading this or something?

This anti-technology transfer stance PPC has adopted seems rather unfair.
Even if their defence was a 'Prime Directive' like non interference policy, it would seem to have been broken given that we are actually playing this game. Basically, PPC can violate any copyright or patent on our world that it feels like violating and co-opt and assimilate technology of our world with absolutley no benefit coming back. It has an air of hippocracy about it, they can use any of our tech they wish, even those that come from fields they did not develop themselves, but the moment we want to know the specifics of cognitive enhancers, or inter-universal communication technology, or replication devices, they get all non-interference on us. [/rant]

Hmmm, this could be a view from earth topic.

Careful you don't reveal your source of info tough, Kurt's is the only one that we have confirmed as being unknown by anyone else on their side (at least, according to him)
