Re: [OT] Top Rev headlines from the time warp
It might be my fault. I just bought a new dryer. It looked awfully futuristic for this day and age. I ended up with the right number of socks, but none of them were mine.

[OT] Top Rev headlines from the time warp
Since there appears to be some interest, I brought these back with me from my last trip. I apologize for the lack of dates, I don't know exactly when I was because there's a bug in the chronometer. Also, my socks have gone missing. 1. Google's competitor, Giggle, is rapidly gaining momentum as the top search engine of choice. Because it only returns hits on light-hearted, amusing content, it has proven immensely popular. Companies are gaming the system by filling metatags with jokes and "laugh" words. Rev has changed its marketing focus to "The IDE that fills you with joy" and is showing regularly in the top ten results. 2. A Rev customer has ignited a flame war in the Rev Virtual Meeting Rooms, berating the company for not fully complying with current holographic standards. While trying to walk around inside his datagrid he got entrapped by a nasty case of self-induced recursion in a poorly-calculated formula cell. He claims RR should have forseen the error and dumped him out. In actuality that is exactly what happened, but since he had programmed the exit clause as a modal escape hatch, he couldn't hit the default button. Room members are divided on whether he should be left in the cell until his anger subsides, or whether someone should try to access him remotely. 3. The now-leaking stormy internet cloud is being updated and replaced by the Universal Grid, which allows direct connections via embedded bio-ports. RR is reworking its IDE to allow access to this embeddable biosystem. They warn that there are still issues to work out, particularly whether or not the human navel is really a button. 4. Due to recent changes in international law, restrictions on the amount of realism allowed in holographic human projections have caused issues for many companies. RunRev has been forced to remove the native human feature set originally planned for its products. However, RR cannot, and does not intend to, prevent its users from assembling realistic human projections by use of carefully crafted skins. 5. RunRev re-issued a strongly-worded statement again today, warning that its libTeleport library is still in early alpha and should not, under any circumstances, be used for production work. Last week two customers disappeared for an undetermined length of time and were later found in the CEO's sock drawer wearing each other's clothing. The socks were inexplicably missing. One long-time user commented, "It's just uncanny. I've been with RR since the beginning, and the disappearing sock phenomenon was discussed many years ago, yet no one paid any attention. If you ask me, they deserve what they got." CEO Kevin Miller has vowed to return the customers to their homes immediately when the technology reaches beta. ...more when I get there. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
