to Dilbert?
...is whether Q*bert is more closely related to Dilbert or CueCat. You can't tell from the 10-pixel bitmap.
Repeal the DMCA!
Amen. First paragraph says "this article sucks" and the second says "completely." Bleh.
Or at least that's what the Perl regex guide said.
hey need to know info request, those q-bert programers were on What?
I need some of that.
A drug that can twist you to write such a program sounds hmm, well kinda sweet, 8).
Now we know why SNL sucks so bad.
involve alcohol, weed, and q-bert... throw in river raid and hunt the wumpus....
Wait a second.
s200.org - visit it (me), love it (me).
The same reason so many people think everything is for Windows.
What version of Windows does redhat run under?
etc...
Two words:
Gay Porn.
Punctation, Pronunce, Asterik, and Dasterdly. All in one paragraph, although I think "dasterdly" appears a couple more times in the article.
Nevermind Carnivore and whatever - we need a spell-checking filter between every host on this beloved internet. I'm getting really sick of feeling superior because I can spell. I'm also wondering (worrying) about the socio-economic fallout from a nation/world of communications-challenged users! Learn the language, learn to SPELL!

At best it's all confusing, with the boom bust boom bust rollercoaster ride that video games took in the 80s... Namco buys Atari who buys Midway who buys Namco who buys Hasbro who sells Konami who makes out with Capcom on the couch while Sega watches... etc etc etc
It's easier just to say Atari did everything until the 90s, then Nintendo did everything till the late 90s when Sony started doing everything.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
1) Old ladies that say fuck off, and show their wrinkled middle fingers;
2) Someone getting kicked in the balls;
3) Someone getting still-framed and rotated matrix-like while kicking somebody in the balls.
That, my friends, would have been hilarious.
Unfunny.
Those guys really were writers for SNL and Conan O'Brien.
This is neither "news for nerds" nor "stuff that matters."

Hey, he blew up big for a while there, but then the bubble popped.
Then a rock fell on his head.

...but, WHAT THE HELL?
Q-Bert? He just switched to a mac... that's where he's been!
Those who laugh at you for you having a Mac.. are the people who constantly call you to fix their PC.
Shit, is it up to two weeks now? I thought it was still three.
"What happened to /. editing?"
nothing.

i can back up the claim that the writers of that story worked on SNL... the article was unfunny and it went on too long.
Jesus! The radiator just made this freaky squealing noise right at the end your comment. I swear to god I thought it was that damn song for a second. Scared the fucking shit out of me.
That's got to be one of the most embarrassing products of wannabe fanfic (like that isn't in and of itself a capital crime) I've seen in a long time. Take special note of the misspelling of the word asterisk in the first paragraph: a premonition of the value of this piece. I'm amazed it was even deemed worthy for inclusion.
Crap for Nerds. None of it really matters.
What else is there to say?
Huh?
too bad we can't moderate articles too ;)
