- ani625, on 11/24/2007, -13/+1997MS explorer crashes. Outlook not good.
- sockpuppets, on 11/24/2007, -9/+807Word.
- RandomGorilla, on 11/24/2007, -37/+727Explorer crashing? Typical.
- Chasuk, on 11/24/2007, -41/+605Dug down for misuse of the word "irony."
- chsbrgr, on 11/24/2007, -3/+539We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Send SOS / Don't Send - rob3, on 11/24/2007, -2/+432This is what happens when you try and take M/S Explorer into penguin infested territory
- amdahlj, on 11/24/2007, -5/+380One note, Access to such treacherous waters should be limited to ships which excel at breaking through icebergs...
Powerpoint... - CrazyDave303, on 11/24/2007, -6/+340I wonder if the penguin had any thing to do with this?
- stalefries, on 11/24/2007, -11/+291Even better, it's the M/S Explorer.
- CrazyDave303, on 11/24/2007, -3/+253You guys are excelling in your abilities to come up with puns
- Sarevok9, on 11/24/2007, -4/+249The paperclip will save them!!!!!
- kohan69, on 11/24/2007, -24/+246Was I the only one that thought the ship would be called Titanic?
- cruzlee, on 11/24/2007, -2/+206Luckily the other ships picked up their 404 signal.
- variable, on 11/24/2007, -4/+195I've added a comment. How ironic!
- sabach, on 11/24/2007, -0/+185Obviously, this was the fatal exception.
- triggerfinger, on 11/24/2007, -4/+187A penguin was seen swimming away from the scene.
- inactive, on 11/24/2007, -11/+184"It would not have been allowed to depart if everything had not been sorted out", sounds like Vista to me, not M/S Explorer.
- thetron, on 11/24/2007, -2/+172"Hello IT. Have you tried turning the ship on and off again"
- lintmonkey, on 11/24/2007, -0/+157I can see why this made the frontpage.
- andycr512, on 11/24/2007, -1/+153"It looks like you're trying to avoid sinking a ship. Would you like to:
Grab a bucket and start bailing
Run away
Toss me overboard, then run away" - wheeze, on 11/24/2007, -5/+146luckily no-one ended up in the Blue Sea Of Death
- spyd3rweb, on 11/24/2007, -5/+138This story made the Frontpage of cnn.com, their Publisher added it last night.
- bonarez, on 11/24/2007, -0/+122I agree, MS should stay out of the penguin's waters
- zwaldowski, on 11/24/2007, -0/+119You guys should've seen the Reddit comments:
"The captain gave the Word to Excel, but they crashed. Now they have no Access to shore."
"But they made it the to the FrontPage on all major Publishing sites."
"I didn't see it on the FrontPage, but then I'm not on the InfoPath and have bad Visio."
"This Explorer crash may not be on the FrontPage of reddit yet, but it's all over the .NET. I saw it on MSNBC too - according to their anchor (a hot male), the Outlook looks pretty grim for the ship: the Sea is very Sharp this time of year in the antarctic."
"I hope it all Works out for them as well."
"If not, they should leave OneNote."
"Blue C# of Death"
"Fortunately they sent out a Messenger before they sank. The rescue team has a large Windows of opportunity to save them. I'd say there is a 95 to 98 percent chance of success. I'm just glad this didn't happen to ME."
"Don't worry. The captain has plenty of eXPerience."
"And on the plus side, the Vista is incredible while they wait."
"Let's just hope they get rescued Zune."
"Him and his Entourage obviously weren't heading to the right MapPoint" - ZenMojo, on 11/24/2007, -19/+135Should have called it the Firefox. It'd use twice as much petroleum, travel half as fast, but at least you wouldn't run into any icebergs.
- ps2pers0n, on 11/24/2007, -1/+112Blue Ocean of Death
- ganjadude4391, on 11/24/2007, -3/+113It was held together with clippy
- pintomp3, on 11/24/2007, -6/+115did the ship Bob?
- ChileanGoD, on 11/24/2007, -1/+107Reminds me when the LINUX racing car crashed in indianapolis earlier this year.

It was also one of the best placed comments ever on digg: "Probably a driver issue". - Istari6, on 11/24/2007, -2/+105We're heading into "one gag too many" territory here
- shinythings, on 11/24/2007, -16/+117Further investigation shows the cause of the crash was due to poor programming, and too many security holes.
- lengau, on 11/24/2007, -9/+110What a mature and polite response. I especially like how well you back up your claims.
- inactive, on 11/24/2007, -1/+101In a perfect world, Firefox would be the name of the submarine that torpedoed Explorer.
- sockpuppets, on 11/24/2007, -1/+101I'd have gone with "Someone left Windows open."
- paulsmith288, on 11/24/2007, -1/+101dugg , because I am lazy and only had to read the first few lines of the article.
- shotmonkey, on 11/24/2007, -0/+95This ship has encountered an unrecoverable error. Your life will restart in 30 seconds..
OK - hexydes, on 11/24/2007, -0/+87Yeah, right. You'd be lucky to get something as useful as this. More likely, you would get something like:
- Avoid icebergs as they can cause damage to your ship.
- Have you tried fixing the hole in your ship?
- Click here for a list of common recreation activities on cruise ships.
You know, because Clippy's suggestions were always so relevant to the situation at hand... - alexdiggskevin, on 11/24/2007, -13/+96That will show them for naming it that!
- sockpuppets, on 11/24/2007, -1/+80I hope they get rescued zune.
- Smegzor, on 11/24/2007, -16/+94The article is inaccurate. MS Explorer has been listing for years, not hours.
- tmanka, on 11/24/2007, -5/+83Would have been cool if a ship named firefox came to the rescue.
- DavidGX, on 11/24/2007, -1/+72I see you're sending an S.O.S.! Would you like some help?
- technoredneck, on 11/24/2007, -0/+68I wish I had access to your wit.
- CapeKid, on 11/24/2007, -2/+68Well, Paint me surprised.
- KLowD9x, on 11/24/2007, -21/+85Buried for saying "dug down".
- OsakaWilson, on 11/24/2007, -0/+64You should have said, "A patch is expected by early January."
- mrmacky, on 11/24/2007, -1/+65Its no surprise that this hit the FrontPage
- jellygraph, on 11/24/2007, -1/+63Yes / No / DasBoot
- CrazyDave303, on 11/24/2007, -5/+64The mac guy is the life rafts, small off to the sides, best for the woman and children, and the only time it's worth to load them up, is when every thing else is not working.
- Baku, on 11/24/2007, -11/+67This was on b3ta earlier... I lol'd - http://www.jimcromwell.com/landfill/explorerok.jpg
