    This "IE does not support" explanation is only the first step of the real WTF...

    The text is really in the page-source of the microsoft link! Somebody must have copy-pasted it from some IE display into the documentation.

    So they have a Susan on the team but not a Mark. Or maybe it was Paula?
    Of course, Susan has to fix it, because Mark isn't there anymore. It's obviously a cover-up.

    Funny - that's a base64 encoded GIF image. An empty GIF image, to be exact, most likely a spacer. Damn, I'm such a geek.

    I'm not at all surprised to see a zillion people spotted base64 encoding, and some people even skipped the decoding step because they're already familiar with what base64-encoded-GIF looks like.

    What I am surprised at is that it took 16 whole minutes for someone to post it. C'mon, that's like 960 seconds! What were you doing for all that time? ;-)

    I am so very scared that some of you actually figured out what that is. And jealous, because I'd never have thought of it in a million years.

    The "w==" part is a strong hint. Do you check your mail source often? I do to check phising tricks (people faking urls in creative ways).

    Go to Google, bang your keyboard and press Search. You'll be surprised to know how many sites contain your random word.

    he managed to get a "G0D" in there too! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuwesome.
    Derrick Pallas:
    The cool thing is that when you Base64 decode that, you get

    GIF89a\001\000\001\000\200\000\000\377\377\377\000\000\000!\371\004\001\000\000\000\000,\000\000\000\000\001\000\001\000\000\002\002D\001\000; go ahead and type

    data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==

    into the address bar of a browser near you.. it's just a spacer GIF that is being used as a data:uri; ironically, Internet Explorer DOES NOT support data:uri. I believe that when that browser can't display an image and the image has no alt text, it uses the URL as the alt text.

    Does this mean god really is in all the empty spaces?

    You, sir, are f'ing brilliant!

    Captcha: Ninjas. Ninjas are in all the empty spaces, too!

    Without going into a lengthy and boring description of our publishing process, let me just say that we’ve learned the hard way that we cannot put a "token" in a link. We use tokens fairly regularly for things like product names. Then, when the marketing folks change a product name, we can make one simple change on the back end that will be rendered in every single instance in the documentation where the product is cited. Unless of course we messed it up by putting it in a link...

    But the main thing here is the unfortunate fact that Mark met his demise. My colleague, Paul Chapman – a group manager at Microsoft – claims to have been a close friend of Mark. As manager of the Team Foundation Server documentation team (and, indeed, on behalf of the team) my condolences go out to Paul. (For the record, I never saw Paul take Mark out for lunch or coffee.) Perhaps Mark was his very close imaginary friend and confidante. Lately, Paul had been drinking bad coffee and muttering to himself and we thank the reader who was able to place the final piece in the puzzle of Mark’s disappearance, because it means that our esteemed colleague Paul can get the help he so desperately needs.

    So thanks everyone. We can’t promise it’ll never happen again; but if it does, we’ll fix it.

    Chris Clements, Documentation Manager, Visual Studio Team Foundation

    Paul wrote the following tribute to his “friend” Mark:

    "Everyone – thank you for your concern for our former colleague and dear friend Mark, who died on October 18, 2006. Mark was a well-respected member of the Visual Studio Team Foundation documentation team (not SQL Server, as noted in your report). In addition to a very sly humor and love of strong coffee, he was always quick to help other technical writers finish their sentences, often doing so late at night after the unsuspecting beneficiary had gone home. Mark’s unfortunate demise had gone unsolved for months until his manager looked at an internal beta release of Microsoft Live Search Maps. As luck would have it, the new high resolution satellite imagery of the Microsoft building where Mark worked was taken on the very night of his murder as Sterling L was leaving. This serendipitous event has resulted in Mr. L awaiting trial in King County Superior court.

    "Our thoughts are with Mark’s family. He is survived by his mother, his dog, 4 cats, 3 parakeets, and a python named Judy. While some of us have argued for Mark’s last words to remain as a testament to his faithful service, the decree came down to fix the text, which you should see within the week."
