Slashdot Mirror

Strong Bad is one step ahead of you.

Like I've said before, I refuse to take anything seriously that spouts such nonsense as "Neo's five previous incarnations represent the Five Books of Moses that make up the Old Testament."

Insane... I suppose them calling Neo the "One" means he represents a fictional soft drink, correct?

Nono..

"And what? that's it? It wasn't expected and here's a million dollars...or It wasn't expected and here's your own space ship? I mean what the f"

/strongbad

misspelled, goes to some porn site, bah. should be this

A blacksmith, yes... but what about a poopsmith?

I laughed my ass off when I saw this. For those who are not familiar, Trogdor the Burninator comes from Strong Bad email #58:

They've got the Trogdor flash game too:

Did anyone notice the reference to Trogdor the Burninator in Buffy? It was rad!

...instead of making a museum around it. You are guaranteed to have more fun, and you might get a fruit smoothie out of it like The Cheat did.

... Homestar Runenr!!!

This website has such a great interface. It has sound, it has one simply Flash object, it is actually funny, and it's so easy to use that my parents can figure it out!

Speaking of which, Today's StrongBad Email...

This article makes it appear to be a lot of work to avoid...work.

Reminds me of that Strong Bad Short: "Awww...we need to figure out how to get some drinks...like...without having to actually get some drinks."

Belloc

They should call it YellowDello

To quote strongbad.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SOMEDAY!

"You sank my Jenga ship?! We're playing Connect Four!" [Homestar Runner]

Also, when combined with a Slinky and a box of Grape Nuts can make a StrongBad Robot.

According to some guy named Strongbad, there's a few simple rules to follow and you, too, can have a great web site.

Welcome To Your Doom!!

they include his techno song as an option to play in a loop while you run around shooting people.

Now _that's_ entertainment.

Here it is. Albeit through massive human intervention.

I see what you guys are getting at, as in SCO published it's own secret code under GPL without knowing it so therefore, since they are the original copyright holders, this makes their code GPL'd.

In short: no. I don't think that will hold water.

They where unaware of their publishing of the code until later, and whole the only possibility of this I see here is if SCO is ruled to be neglegent in not checking over the code before releasing it themselves. However, this is not the issue here, so this matter may not even come up because even is SCO's code is is GPL'd now, it wasn't when IBM alegedly purpotrated this, and the code would never have been accidentally GPL'd had it not been for this chain of events. Therefore I'd think if the code has become legally GPL'd then IBM would be in more trouble, due tothe fact they've caused irreversable damage to SCO's IP.

Of courtse, that all depends on if SCO is full of shit or not. :-)
Too much speculation, I guess what'll just have toooo wait it out. Erm, Backwards.

Someone tell me again why I'm not allowed to like Flash? And is it safe to like Homestar Runner? Or is that only for farkers?
We really need an official "Slashdot Manual of Ethics and Conduct" to spell out exactly what we can and cannot like. I mean, like what if I happen across some Anime, but its in Flash!?!?!
I don't wanna lose my badge!!

Robit? What's a robit?

More like:

"It's dead Jim, let's kick it around some more."

"It's dead Jim. But this is StarTrek, so we can solve the problem by 'modulating the frequency'."

More like, why don't YOU modulate the frequency, NERD?
(only funny if you are a regular reader of the Strongbad Emails, particularly this one.)

For everyone else:

Speaking from experience, I can tell you that the best way to fix any problem is to modify the sensor array to emit an inverse tachyon pulse into the heart of the anomaly.

Or go ask Data, but ask him while he's in the Holodeck playing Sherlock Holmes.

Homestar Runner and friends disagree with you.

And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek and all was laid to BURNINATION!

20x6 vs 1968?

Ban everything!

Entertain yourself

I think we should pronounce Steve's name like Coach Z does.

Joooooorrruuuubbbs.

Look... Phoenix, err Firebird.. err whatever... It can change it's name one last time to something that even sorta resembles the Gecko/Mozzy guy....

TROGDOR!!!

I'm sure if we all wrote nice email messages to StrongBad, and asked real nicely, he'd let us use the name Trogdor... And all we'd really have to do is attach a StrongArm (No, not the chip) to our mozzy guy.
And hey, TROGDOR!!! the game ever works in Mozzy with the right plugins... http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogdor.html .. What do you guys think?

Now the government is going to know why you are so mean to the guy with the big white face and grey body!

I figure they owe you a new cake.

Of course, the odds of that happening are probably about the same as the odds of Strong Sad developing a sense of optimism, but hey, one can hope.

Even sometimes I have to do it.
Tasty!

HOME STAR RUNNER!!! You watch it together, you both piss yourselves laughing. Everybody wins!!! Or, alternatively, tell kids why they should avoid agin popstars who look like anorexic ghosts.

buffy's world meets homestar

I clicked on the original link and got some evil thing with a cartoon kid buried to his neck in a cemetary having his brain pecked out by crows.

Why is it kids like watching this stuff but won't eat what you serve up for dinner? (unless disguised as a mcdonalds burger or meat pie (works in oz only)).

What 8-12 year old is complete without watching StrongBad's Email weekly?

I thought the one and only cheat is at

Homstarrunner.com

There is only one cheat. And he lives with strongbad. The Cheat!

Sometimes, you just can't resist the temptation.
Have fun

Actually, THIS is the link: http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail1.html

Very funny series. It's about the only reason I keep Flash on my computer.

Here's the link, for the un-enlightened: http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail10.html

So what is, Ishkibble's name and SSN then?
He can have hundreds of nerds checking up on him.
And if he doesn't do his homework, Trogdor is going to burninate him.

The scary thing is that some good social engineering versus the school is bound to turn up some SSN's if you just have the name of a student.

Will this make the local paper?
Will they call Slashdot a "site for hackers"?

I was proud to be the recipiant of a letter from my ISP informing me that I was among the "Top 50 Users."

I looked down further to see what I had won but sadly they just wanted to double my yearly fee. I was like "whoa." So I called them and asked what kind of plan it was I signed up for. They said that since I was in the top 50 I would have to pay more or move to DSL (and then pay more). Well I was all thinking maybe you know, this dsl sounds pretty nice, pretty nice But sadly it will not be available in my area "until ever." As the rep explained. So I looked at my statement which said I signed up for something called "Unlimited 56k Dialup Access*" The asterix said something about the 56k not really being capable of going that fast. So I asked the rep what Unlimited means. He said it means up to a point, I fired back like umm you mean "with bounds"? He said no not really.

The trouble was this overworked billing bloak didn't know what his company was advertising. He explained that if my modem stays connected for more than 7 hours a day it causes damage to their modems. Needless to say that it crap for crap. So then he said it didn't do damage but it disallowed other users to dial up. But that;s not even in the TOS I explained.

Dunt dun DUNNNN- The TOS the Terms Of Service- or Talk Of dirty rotten Shist depending on which end of the phone you're on. So he says he'll show me where. 1 minute later I'm on hold. 8 Minutes later he says it's the limited bandwidth clause section 6, which I hapeened to be very farmiliar with. I explained to him the perils of dialup and how real it was ABSOLUTLY IMPOSSIBLE to consume any significant amount of bandwidth on a 56k dialup, gee_willicars them city folk-a jus duna untersand!

He agreed. I asked for the Manger and he said the only person above him was the CEO who was needless to say "Out to Lunch" or if you're on the other end of the phone holy crap I'd better cover my ass.

Well it ended up this way, I called back and asked for Susan, the CEO 8 times one day an hour apart, but she was out to lunch from 9 till 5. I though about driving over there and looking for the overweight broad (See I know shes overweight because she's always eating lunch) but since I'm just a really really lazy person I just canned my service there and started an account at Lanset who despite having a really awful website and horrid DNS servers have been pretty good to me with 60 MB free hosting, no setup fees $96/year and I can have my whole lan sharing the connection legally.

Ok bye. and oh yeah to answer the question I did read the TOS before purchases from both ISP's. InReach just eats.

Um... what about Symbian? Or Palm? Or even Pixo, for that matter?

And let us never forget the ever-popular Pom Pilot...

So your solution is to not run flash? Then I couldn't watch Strong Bad! Strangely, the sound in flash often goes off when I listen to xmms, even after I close xmms. If someone knows why this is, please let me know (using esound w/ nvaudio driver for sound card). But this is besides the point. If you want to block flash ads, I think the following lines in the
ever-so-handy userContent.css file will do it:

embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"][widt h= "468"][height="60"] {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
}

embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"][widt h= "728"][height="90"] {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
}

What about homestrrunner? It's .net!

Keepin' it real, dawg.
It's dot com!

...of this

TROGDOR!!!!!!!
