From the javascript:

var bugRiddenCrashPronePieceOfJunk= (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 5')!==-1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac')!==-1)

I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but I don't think FBI should disparage Microsoft and Apple with their variable names.



They are disparaging MSIE 5 for MacOS X in particular, which is indeed a piece of junk that no one should be using. That's just facts.


Microsoft and Apple both have publicly disparaged the obsolete IE for Mac, so why shouldn't the FBI? It's very, very out of date and highly-vulnerable. It's not like something that would show up on CNN.


Pretty sure this is referring only to IE for Mac, not IE and MacOS separately.
