AP, WASHINGTON DC - The House of Representatives has just passed a bill called the Web Design Standards Bill of 2008 wherein myspace.com and its holders will be required to revise all myspace pages to comply with the new standards set forth in the bill. What this means for the average joe is that colors, fonts, background images, and font sizes will have to be modified to fit the provisions of the new bill. Furthermore, the blink and marquee tags have been made a felony and autoplay of all music and movies has been disabled. If you own a myspace page, failure to update it to the new standards in 30 days will result in a two-year jail sentence or a $20,000 fine. The bill is expected to hit the Senate this Thursday.

My site would get me the death sentence.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #4 on:** October 12, 2008, 07:19:43 pm »

I'd probably get a fine just for not updating.

A web page that sits there and does nothing is a perfectly fine web page, as long as it doesn't look like it was made by someone who thinks he needs to share the entire contents of youtube on his myspace, complete with blinking dark gray on an awful black background.

where did you find this?
I search it into google, comcast, etc...and nothing with that sort of name comes up

Wuntvor · « **Reply #7 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:12:38 pm »

Hmm... I would think the ISOC, IETF, IAB, and of course the W3C would have something to say about the Senate trespassing on their grounds. Senators might find all of their web-browsers no longer work properly.

Only in our dreams Tanis

Why do you search with Comcast? We all know the only decent search provider these days is Google. Even Windows Live Search has to entice people with giveaways so that folks will search with them.

This thread is entertaining.

Kona-chan · « **Reply #11 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:17:30 pm »

I tried google first...and didn't find ANYTHING
so I tried some other search engines -.-'
but I don't find anything pertaining to this on the net other than on here

TanisNikana · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:18:20 pm »

That should be plenty of valuable insight as to the nature of the Web Design Standards bill of 2008.

Kona-chan · « **Reply #13 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:21:20 pm »

too bad this doesn't exist....if that pertains to the nature of it then how did you find out about it?

TanisNikana · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:23:28 pm »

Should be obvious.

I wrote it.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:27:18 pm »

so basically we can't have music or videos on our profile? or we can but not just a bunch of them? I can't seem to find it anywhere either.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:28:34 pm »

They can't be set to autoplay.

Kona-chan · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:28:41 pm »

he's saying he made it up people
calm down
the government can't throw people in jail or fine them $20,000.00 for having a song on a webpage that's about themselves

Proof that very few can take lulz.

I'll keep all my posts very, very serious from here on out.

tofutakeout, the orginizations that control what can be put in a webpage are these the ISOC, IETF, IAB, and of course the W3C. The W3C being the main one for standardization of code in web pages. Their biggest concern currently is making web designers use CSS as much as possible to make code smaller and more compliant with hand held devices that download from the net like cell-phones, IPODS, and PDA's, and standardizing code for the WAI, so people with special needs can use the web easily. They are also responsible for IPv6. The newest internet protocol that will be replacing IPv4. IPv6 uses 128 bit addresses so that there will be 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,347,607,431,768,211,456 addresses on the web as apposed to the 4 billion or so we have now. I suppose that might be considered an improvement. Can anyone even tell me what that number is called? GAH! Anyway everyone will have enough address, so their IPOD, cell-phone, car, computer, other computer, game system, coffe maker, and toaster. will each have one.

WE ARE WATCHING YOU!

technology may overrun the earth o.0

tofutakeout · « **Reply #21 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:58:48 pm »

yes technology just might. well I actually wasn't worried. it was more of curiosity. ha ha yeah I wouldn't know too much about computers. I know more then the average person but then it sort of stops there. so thats why I didn't really know to believe this at first or what.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #28 on:** October 13, 2008, 12:14:18 pm »

Is not spam, though. Is discussion.

I'm so gullible. >.> I actually believed you. And then I read everyone else's posts. xD

That joke wasn't supposed to fool anyone.

Now I feel like Orson Welles, only if he did comedy instead of stories.

Mister_manji · « **Reply #31 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:16:17 pm »

why not skip the standards, and simply ban myspace? its tripe as it is.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #32 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:20:02 pm »

Now why'd this get moved? It was valid discussion?

TanisNikana · « **Reply #33 on:** October 13, 2008, 11:19:56 pm »

More like Master of Lulz. ^_^
