yemkay··on Microsoft made their own IE6-countdown site.

Some workers in Cyber Cafes don't really know of FF or Chrome. They just think IE is the only way to surf internet.

yemkay··on Tell us your naughty stories
We had DOS based terminals in our college computer lab. Each of us had a different working directory, but the directories were all accessible by each other. Once I and my friend opened a directory of a girl student and created a batch file named "cd.bat" which prints some garbage texts on the screen. Whenever she runs "cd" command from her working directory, this batch file would get executed!
