I thought it was brilliant as well! Although, the slashdot link to the poster they're mimicking is incorrect, it's this one: http://moviesinn.net/wp-conten...
Besides, all the haters are missing a very important point - they even fixed Zaphod's second head, putting it where it belongs!
(But seriously folks, lighten up... it's a bit of fun. Sheesh.)
"Me, I'm a third generation server farmer. My pappy's pappy started this farm way back in 2014. Then my pappy took over, and now here I am today." As the old sys admin slowly rocked in his office chair, a single orange strand of wire from a cat 5 cable hanging out of his mouth. "Ol'rack 314b has a bad sector, son, today I need you to go take it down. She's been a good server, but it's time you showed me you can take over this farm one day too..."
I know someone came up with that list to be snarky, but I'm fairly sure I've experienced everything in that list at one point or another with vehicles over the years.
Yup, including pressing the start button to turn the engine off.:/
Tattoo "TERRORIST" across their foreheads too. Put neon lights on their homes. Force them to put "I am a TERRORIST" at the start of every sentence they speak.
US Govamnent's inconsistent standards are adversely affecting our ability to counter violent Islamist extremism in real life.
They're worried about big heavy electric powered vehicles not paying them taxes. Not a problem right now obviously, but ya gotta think ahead just in case this electric thing takes off ya'know!
Yeah, well some guy had a talk here last month about something nuclear and he had some pretty bar graphs and even a picture of a monkey. It was quite entertaining because I was on schrooms but I'm pretty sure he (and he was wayyyyy smart but I don't know his name so you can't check it out for yourself) totally thought the problem wasn't a big deal.
You know, it pisses me off that these sites make snarky "Download an up to date browser" comments. I mean, if I was running IE 6 or FF2 or some shit, yeah, but when I'm using the latest, bleeding edge of another browser I basically get told I'm using a piece of crap? I mean come on, this elitist asshole shit has to stop, especially on a site that claims to be open to all to try. Why not word it:"currently only browser X and Y has these features" and leave it at that?
Yup. Smartphone and Ipad users are being trained to type on touch screens so this will naturally be aimed at them. Can't stand typing anything on touchscreens myself, I needs me some tactile feedback, but there's another generation of kids who never watched Star Trek TNG that are going to be able to actually use smooth glass panels for input.
It's the encapsulation of the articles and content. Think paywall. It gets around the nasty "open, advertising only" internet without the nasty fist shaking that us spoiled in our freedom webusers have come to expect/demand because we expect magazines to cost and we expect apps to cost too!~
Wouldn't wanna live there unless I had to. The darkness would mess with your eyesight, would put you in a low mood (to the point of depression) and your skin wouldn't produce enough vitamin E.
And that's different from your parents basement in LA how?/profiling

Well, duh. Never having felt, or experienced a quake is the point of such a statement.
Fucking pedantics. I haven't had the flu all year.
"Maybe none that you could feel. I'm fairly certain that everybody everywhere has been subject to influenza at one time or another in the last year."

Depends on the manufacturer.
That's all my outlook calendar does... :(

I work from home you insensitive clods!
Right, wrong, he's the guy with the money.
Well, that depends on the climate. See, in Canada your chances of getting bitten by a small poisonous insect are pretty damn low.
And yes, I'll gladly rather take my chances with 6 months of potential frost bite over sneaky one bite and you die bugs.
Not having the same font as every website since 1990 is kind of the point...

Sorry, but it rubbed me the wrong way.
I love it. That was some fantastic imagery. That just won "best link of the day" for me. Thanks for that!
Larry Sanger is obviously a hoax made to make Jimmy look bad. The man does not exist!
Here we go again...
Trekkies are probably used to that. Hell, that's probably the metric that defines their level of success.

I almost envy them.
Almost.
Haha, yup. Same here.
I was honestly lazy.

Oh they are sneaky, those marketing types.

Where it will therefore become public domain!
Rule 30: A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.
I think it's interesting to compare it with 3 years ago:
