Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers
An anonymous reader writes "Trepia has released an IM client that automatically populates itself with people who happen to be around you. Something that has been done before by Apple with iChat, but Trepia claims to be 'iChat on crack' in this article featuring the software. This could have potentially revolutionary social effects..."
Now I have to chase after more fucking otakus. They deserve to get a REAL tentcle up their dumb asses!
...how come nobody seems to be putting up gag avatars? The parent post was made in jest, but hey, this is Slashdot; I was expecting to see at least one person with a pic of the Goatse Guy next to their profile! I guess maybe it's because we geeks are the type to have a digicam and a self pic, and thus no need to upload something bogus, but I'm really surprised to see so many apparently legit photos. I wonder how that ratio pans out for the total userbase.
I stuck up a pic of John Ashcroft for the time being, but I'm trying to find (or crop) some hardcore porn that's just the right size...

Moderators, that was actually funny :-)
I've always derived a perverted pride from the fact that my body and mind feel as if they age three years for every 365 days of my existence. To be perfectly honest, I am a wreck both physically and mentally; I sweat like a Flip Wilson ice sculpture in Iraq, arthritis occasionally creeps into my hands and legs, and my back feels as if some nefarious governmental organization has been using it to store recycled fighter plane parts for the past 20 years. I cannot stand rap music, I despise bars and the so-called "social scene" that other 27 year olds partake in, and I fail to see any downside to sitting on my back porch and waving a cane at the neighborhood kids who pass by on their fancy high fallootin' bicycles and scooters. At the rate I'm aging internally, I expect to be a 150-year old by the time I'm 50, which would probably break some record somewhere and cause Willard Scott to mention my name shortly before he begins making up stories about the weather.
Shut up, sdem.
Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. You can't simply say, "Today I will be brilliant."
Ahhhh! Make the dripping noise stop!
