- faceicles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I wonder if it's carrot cake. Get it, ^ cake!
- lithuin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I hate to break it to you, but those are not, strictly speaking, proprietary tags. They are enclosed in HTML comment tags, which are standards compliant. It is not good practice, but very common for script code to be contained inside of HTML comment tags. They could have just as easily had, "Stop trying to turn everything into an anti-Microsoft rant" enclosed in the tag and it would have also been perfectly acceptable, standards compliant HTML code. Microsoft software may try to parse comment code for its own reasons, but that is irrelevant to your argument.
Way to spread FUD, though. - shakin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9*****
- emorphien, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Wegmans kicks ass... best grocery stores.
- Snoopykiss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Proprietary Microsoft HTML extensions or not, shouldn't those have been discarded as comments?

Can I get my chocolate cake with some SQL Injection? - gsnedders, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yup, they should've been counted as comments. They're valid SGML comments.
- MissElliot1978, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wegmans totally rocks! We chose a house based partly on its proximity to Wegmans. Those of you who haven't shopped there have no idea.
- jdenzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah they have the best Wings come Superbowl time

- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Do you eat a blue frosting flower to send the error to Microsoft or a green one to cancel?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just keep your daughters away from Danny Wegman...
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hrrrm.... I guess I left out a minor detail.... I always forget those minor details!!!

- GaffleSnipe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oops! Buzzkill for an important party.
- weister42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A cake is a good cake if it tastes good, so as long as this broken cake tastes good, it's a good cake.
- lizard3k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They even put Kevin Rose buds on the cake. Digg in! :p
- MacGyver2210, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@shakin:
I don't think I've ever seen a 100% blank comment before. Way to go. - sjbdallas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why were all those morons on that site trying to blame microsoft? What a joke.
This does give me a great idea for a birthday cake though.
maybe put some kind of html code on it that renders something when you create an html file and view it with a browser? - hadak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All the cakes jokes are funny as hell. Digg readers take the cake!
- banu0806, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats funny

That is *not* an SQL query. It's proprietary Microsoft HTML extensions.
EDIT: Way to edit your wrongheaded post while I posted my correction. - haxx4, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Fake?
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Does anyone here visit sites that already post this kind of stuff? Seriously, this is NOT NEWS!!
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Apparently, no one has ever told you this.... so I must say it as politely as possible.
