'US proxy only'

What's that supposed to mean? I'm in Germany, but all I had to do was use http://www.microsoft.com/en-US[^] for the URL and the easter egg works just fine. Cheers!

No. When the page loads time it without clicking or doing anything else.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I assumed that 'US only' meant that the content would only be viewable from there; but it is indeed simply the page with US-content. Things that are visible to US audiences only are usually bypassed by setting the proxy.

No, if focus is on the search box this won't work. Focus needs to be on the body of the page, which is where it's when you load it.

Anyone who's making this argument hasn't followed the logic to its conclusion. At the speed the planet is going, even a 1 second jump would cause you to end up in space. So the fact that a 1 minute jump and 30 year jump into the past worked in the movie means that Doc's time machine compensates. Maybe the gravitational well of the Earth and Sun drag space-time around, at least as far as time travel is concerned. Or perhaps it's relativity --- all measurements are relative to something, there is no such thing as a fixed point in space. The time machine travels in time relative to the planet. So rather than be impressed with the speaker's intellect or the comedian's wit, I end up thinking they're both a bit dull, and slow to the punch.

Nothing happened for me.

Perhaps they took it down.
