  5. Almost.... by Lord_Slepnir · · Score: 1, Funny

    When I saw the title, I first though that this was an article for the new Microsoft Assembly 2003 assembler. I thought 'it's about time someone made an object-oriented version of assembly for the x86 platform'. The I read the rest of the summary. Something about a gathering that starts today. The lesson I learned is: It's not enough not to read the article, you can't read the summary either.

  8. How can they call this a Party! by sbowles · · Score: 5, Funny
    The Party Rules say:

    You are NOT allowed to bring with you

    - weapons of any kind
    - edged weapons such as knives, pocket knives Leathermans or similar tools with knives
    - explosives or fireworks
    - alcohol or any illegal drugs
    - laser pointers, laser pens etc
    - smoke machines

    It goes on to say you can't: get drunk, sleep in cars, play loud music or (and here's the kicker!) "connect any kitchen equipment to the electricity plugs " ... Oh yeah, there is no public viewing of porn allowed.

    I once went to a festival of geekdom that lasted 4 years. We sat around and did nothing but play games, code, and blow shit up.
