"Site will be back shortly"
I assume it's the "take a week to replace our URL's with Uniform Resource Locators" one?
If so, then yes, I remember it well...

That's the one. Except it will take him a month
It's weird you get to see the site will be back shortly message. I got that yesterday, but I was able to see that picture.
It's an OO world.

Well it was July 1998 - I'm allowed to forget a few details!

I'm seeing
"We are updating the site for you and will be back shortly. In the meantime, how about laughing at a comic or two on our sister site?"
which isn't amusing!

Strange, I got that yesterday on the Dilbert site, but I could see that picture.
I can't find another link to that strip, so here's what it says:
Pointy haired boss: I don't see why our web pages need URLs. Get rid of them. Did that make any sense at all?
Dilbert: Yes, it's brilliant. Give me a month and I'll replace our URLs with Uniform Resource Locators.
Pointy haired boss: Perfect.
It's classic

This is a simulated quantum computer based on webGL. It's going to be much slower than an actual quantum computer as it's simulated with non-quantum hardware. Anyway, it gives you an impression of how quantum computing might be done in the near future.

I thought I had read this somewhere before, but maybe just dreamt it up............oh, no I didn't, it is just a few posts down
Sadly on our corporate desktops it doesn't work due to the browser, just like the post below is blocked.

Try the 'https://' version.. It worked for me..

Https:// version of which one, the quantum one or the one below.
Don't see what difference making it https will make.
If the browser isn't capable of running it, it still wont work, and as for the access, just because it is https doesn't hide the target url. The corporoate web filtering still know where you are trying to get to.
So, even after trying both using https, to make sure I'm not talking poop, I can confirm, it is still the same. a) won't run, b) can't access.

https:// version of the quantum link
this one[^]
As for the browser I'm using is Google Chrome.
I tried it in firefox browser and got the following message:

and for IE(the version on my system is 6), you rather don't ask

That would be the 4th June, I'll have forgot by then. (p.s. what were we talking about again? )

nevermind! We've already talked way off topic!

Yeah, it uses webGL which is definitely not fully supported by every system and browser combination.

Lounge posts take on a whole new level of entertainment when you pass them through the various dialects in the Dialectizer:
http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/[^]
Just put the site adress in and select the dialect of your choice. Amusing.
What can I say. It doesn't take much to amuse me late on a Friday afternoon before a 3 day weekend here in the USA.

When I saw the word dialect, I was hoping for audio.

I guess it comes to all programmers after a while, our job is so unhealthy, I got flabbier and flabbier, my back started aching from sitting, and since I quit the fags (that's cigarettes on this side of the pond) I don't go up and down the stairs 10 times a day either. So I started going to a gym 3 days a week.
Its only for about 40 mins each session, full body, 3 sets of 10 reps with the weight set so the 31st rep is impossible; its a routine I was shown when I did gym work 20 years ago, and I have to say, the results are astounding.
Perhaps its the 2000% increase in exercise, but after just 2 weeks my back is far better, energy levels are up, the flab shrinking slowly and muscle bulk returning to my enfeebled torso.
The routine is squats, pull downs, rowing, situps, flies, bench press and curls by the way. As you can see its very simple.
And despite losing flab, I have kept my 48 inch chest! Result!
So, I can recommend it. Doesn't take long, and gives good results.
