I was going to do it, but the website uses microsoft's terrible SilverLight technology. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I didnt' say it was wonderful. I was simply calling out pebkac for calling it terrible when he probably has no clue what it even is or has never messed with it.
and according to this site it shows mac OSX is supported. http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/#4_0 |

And I have yet to find a website that works properly on my mac using silverlight. Please don't make such assumptions in the future. When I went to the website, none of the buttons were even clickable. (although I did finally get it to work when I booted VMWare fusion and viewed the site in Windows Firefox) -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I posted that entertainment tonight golden globes site... did that not work? QUOTE (pebkac @ Feb 15 2008, 10:18 AM) Please don't make such assumptions in the future. yeah, why on earth would I assume you'd have some bias towards apple products and automatically think microsoft products suck without trying them? Especially when you say it sucks and also say it doesn't work on your mac in the same thread. If it doesn't work on your mac, how have you had any experience with it or know wtf it is?

QUOTE (impala454 @ Feb 15 2008, 11:46 AM) I posted that entertainment tonight golden globes site... did that not work? Same problem. None of the UI elements are fuctional. Although you are right. It does load videos pretty quickly. QUOTE yeah, why on earth would I assume you'd have some bias towards apple products and automatically think microsoft products suck without trying them? Especially when you say it sucks and also say it doesn't work on your mac in the same thread. If it doesn't work on your mac, how have you had any experience with it or know wtf it is? Sigh... you have to put the two thoughts you bring up together. The point I was making was that Silverlight sucks BECAUSE it doesn't work on the mac. Although now that I look at it, the problem is that it only supports Safari and Firefox and I'm using Camino. Which is kinda strange because Camino basically IS Firefox. But at any rate, it would appear that I was incorrect that it doesn't work on the Mac. Still isn't something I want to use due to lack of Camino support, but it does work. QUOTE which website? I was referring to the Microsoft quiz site. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
