Welcome to the blog world, Microsoft
: So I go wandering Microsoft’s new blog space and the first blog I look at has this fascinating post, which I won’t quote in full:
PI=3.

Couldn’ta said it better myself.
Wait I don’t get it…
To sign up you need a .NET Passport. Time to fire up the Linux-on-Celeron box, sign up, and then post this link.

This is way too commercial of an attempt at giving people blog space by Microsoft. It illustrates that they just don’t “get” the blogging thing over there at Microsoft.
ha. i just clicked on the link, and got this message:
Space not available
The MSN Spaces network is being upgraded and is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
Pi is exactly 3.
Sun gets blogs. What “real” blogger would ever post a picture of Scott McNealy?
go rainman
The bitsonic page is a posting of the entire Da Vinci code in Simplified Chinese.
It’s just a presentation of Pi out a whole bunch of decimal places. He means P=3.1…….etc. It’s not meaningless.
I disagree with the post. Obviously it is 463 not 462. Morons.
The post you cite is Chinese, as written in Unicode. Eventually, everyone will use Unicode, it’s available in Windows XP. It’s sort of the new ASCII – it accounts for every language in the world including the so-called “2-byte” alphabets and ideograms. If you enable “Unicode (UTF-8)” in your browser when you right click and go down to Encoding, you’ll see the Chinese too.
hi Jeff, glad to know that you are talking about me.
Microsoft’s FCC-esque censorship of naughty words in it’s blog titles – see Boing Boing.
