I emailed Bill Gates about this (Bill@microsoft.com.boss) as I too suffered through I got green triangles and orange dots - internet explorer.

Apparently he was bored one day so introduced a little bit of extra code so that when you try and load certain pages you get these meaningless symbols.

True geeks know them for what they are, Bills bit of fun, after all even Billionaires need a bit of fun now and then.
