Yeah, they've since edited that, and apparently it's been redacted (or at least slipped behind a firewall, same difference).  I'd think that somebody e-mailed Don Purdy and he just about shat himself.  ;)

Omfg
Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

Wow. The IT department of Tompkins County are either complete idiots or heavily sponsored by Microsoft.

Oh well, at least they didn't mention that you shouldn't use Opera, Safari or Konqueror ;)

It would seem to be the latter. "All other browsers are to be annihilated as well"...

No, only let unix users connect. To sign up, you will have to run a UNIX application, one that all *nix based comps can run.

I'll get it to run on OS X, I'm in.
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

Actually, that's just an alternate DNS server.

You can't register your own TLD's, unless you host your own DNS server and make everyone on the globe us it ;)
