agonist writes "Has anyone seen The Onion in 2056? I accidentally ran across it after clicking on one of the hyperlinks in my weekly Onion email." It's been awhile since we link The Onion. Always good for numerous laughs.

if that's what awaits me in 2056, I'll think I'll stay here thanks

The Onion is my Wendesday morning coffee break reading. . . and you slashdotted it. That's just plain old wrong.
You better watch out, there may be dogs about . .
Ever wonder what Slashdot will look like in 2056? My guess is that it will look pretty much like it does today. In fact, given the increase in the number of reposts, it will probably look exactly like it does today :)
That is part of the page's joke; that is the future: web pages riddled with popups, ActiveX errors, and other glitches. Totally unlike what we have now. Oh wait....
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
In 50 years I plan to take my news in some sort of pill form. All the benifits of an RSS feed with a fruit(possibly onion) aftertaste.
You make fun of France once and your Karma is never the same...
I hit the link and saw a veritible wallpaper of Flash click-to-play icons. I laughed for a moment, and then realized that *wasn't* the joke.

No headlines on Duke Nukem Forever's planned release in 2057 either... /me ducks
They are still making crappy Flash site in HTML 4.01 Transitional in 2056? Well that's still better than the HTML 3.2 of Slashdot in 2187.
If Microsoft was mass, stupidity would be gravity.
I think they need to upgrade their TiFi connection. It could be a lot faster, if those time cops did not restrict bandwidth in the name of "safety". Too much chroniton particle contentration, and next thing you know it's velociraptors popping up in your shower.

The Onion's ad revenue love you long time.
You'd think that by 2056, we'd have come up with a real name for ununhexium :)
51 years or technological advances and you can still kill a website.

I can literally hear my computer huffing and puffing to keep up with this page, because the temperature-controlled fan turned on as they rendered.
It might be time to splurge and pick up that new 386 with 8 megs of RAM that you've had your eye on...
you'd think the million robot march would have had 1,048,576 robots, not 1,000,000
"We are not tolerant people. We prefer drastically effective solutions"
They must be running a quantum webserver - one way to beat the /. effect, post stories 50 years early, by the time anyone needs to read it, there is a torrent available, a coral cache, and 250 karma-whores pasting the content/mirror on the posts :-)

Preemtpive slashdot cacheing?
On the front of the actual article, I laughed, the use of flash actually gave is a 2002 look, but lets pretend it was futuristic!
My fav by a hair was:
Menstruation cured!
At last...
