11) Your browser sets Google.com as your home page all by itself

10) You adopt "Bork, bork, bork!" as your mother tongue

HTML Coding: a dangerous business

A hapless Microsoft developer has introduced perhaps the simplest bug capable of remotely crashing Internet Explorer. Something as simple as <input type crash> will bring any browser to its knees. We've tried to uncover more productive bugs by testing the following, similar HTML tags ... so far with little success.

<input type raise>

<input type vacation>

<input type no-spam>

<input type corner-office>

<input type lakers-win-in-seven>

<input type no-more-american-idol>





Thanks (for Nothing), Slashdot

As publishers, we long for those times when Internet fate smiles upon us, bestowing a mention on slashdot.org, an act that usually precipitates a favorable influx of traffic known lovingly as the "slashdot effect." Unfortunately, not everyone agrees (as the graphic indicates).
