[Question] Orbicon.org Source Code? I did the standard source code check and when i was looking through it i noticed it had an "M" in the comments section, anyone know why?
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Orbicon Corp.</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://www.orbiconcorp.com" frameborder="0">
<frame frameborder="0" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>
<!-- m -->

'M' I did some googling, and came up with this site .
In the top post he speaks about 'M' as a person. Will do more checking.
Upon a taking closer look, I dont think the blog has anything to do with Orbital Colony.

Alright, I suspect this "m" isn't a puzzle/clue/anything. Here's the deal -
the page the OP is looking at is the "frames" page. Since frames are out of style, it defines there being one frame that takes up 100% of the page. You never actually "view" it. You'll notice that the title of the page is "Orbicon Corp." rather than "Orbicon Corporation." The PMs probably didn't think we'd view that page's source. But even if they did, the M appears to be insignificant anyway.
The M is likely one of the following:
a marker from the page design software they used
denotes the author of that page
indicates that the page is live and ready to be uploaded
and they simply forgot to take it out.

Here's the real question: why would they ever design the page with frames in the first place? They're entirely unnecessary here.

It's due to the way they put up Orbicon.org and orbiconcorp.com
They're the same website, but for some reason, instead of just re-directing, orbicon.org is a frame that displays orbiconcorp.com. I am guessing they were just too lazy to make it redirect.
Alternatively, "M" is code for "Mos is #1."

Orbicon.com Sourcecode It's probably nothing, but I did some poking around in the sourcecode for orbicon.com, and found (as many have probably noticed) that the little blinking dot isn't part of the overall image; it's a different gif on a separate layer. It's also the only image on that page that uses a relative path to the images directory (../images/blink2.gif rather than jus /images/blink2.gif).
Tried brining up just those images, and changing the names around a bit, and found www.orbiconcorp.com/images/blink.gif (another different blinking dot which blinks a litte faster), and www.orbiconcorp.com/images/orbiconlogo.gif (a larger version of orbiconlogo_small.gif, with a transparent background)
I'm a newbie to this game, so these are probably nothing, but just figured I should share.
