I don't see why so much effort is being put into the design when I, and most people I know, would probably use a customized theme anyway.
The time spent working on the default theme could probably be better spent working on more important things that users complain about, like working on hardware compatibility, improving security, increasing performance, and general bug squashing.
Also tax people for not dusting out their computers, and smoking in front of their computers. I've had enough of opening people's computers to find every surface covered in a thick layer of dust, and once even some weird sticky stuff.
My phone hasn't been through much, but I always end up breaking calculators. I'm terrible with them. I'll accidentally drop it even lightly, and crack the screen. Now I don't buy calculators that cost more than $20.
But at least I manage to save the batteries for a few minutes of fun!
I disagree. But that's probably because everyone has their own slightly different definition of geek and nerd.
I consider myself to be a geek, but I don't get dressed up as characters, I don't like anime at all. Star Trek is okay, but I'm not anywhere near being obsessed with it.
Took me a moment to realize that "con" was supposed to mean convention. I first saw this as a warning about steampunk scams that makers think would be fun.
Overwriting with random bits would be helpful, but somebody stupid enough to press the button in the first place wouldn't be able to recover if even a few important files were deleted.
Here's an easier solution. Have a button on every computer that when pressed, it erases the contents of the entire hard drive. At least some stupid people will be tempted to press it.
1. Post a message to slashdot
2. Include a link to your project
3. Site gets slashdotted
4. ???
5. You upgrade to the new ultimate server package
6. Your hosting company profits!

The purple looks like a pimp. Not sure about the orange though.

My pet rock runs Linux, and it boots up in exactly zero seconds!

Does this mean that I'll have to buy a new periodic table? I bet it's a scam by the people who make periodic them!
Just say that your sexy application is for educational purposes. Problem solved!
It would probably have something to do with improper use of school equipment. So... using the laptop to look at porn?
3.54MB for a newsletter? And from the '80s, I bet that must have been huge!
Yeah, I'm typing this just as it's downloading.
20 years of photoshopping photos of ourselves to make ourselves look more attractive!
I'm not the only one who has done that, right?
Damn it, I should have waited to buy my phone, instead of just buying it yesterday!

How can the internet be depressing? There's pictures of people's cats, Slashdot, and porn. Is there anything else that I don't know about?
Most stupidly named software? What about Scrotwm?
That actually kinda sounds like something a drug dealer would say.
Try it for free and get hooked?
Just because he isn't a carnivore doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't dangerous.
I guess we could still look to the future, but why waste this time on such things when we could be programming for the iPad?
Because they're developing curiosity for the iPad.
Yeah, there's even an app for that.

You got a webcam? It might be time to cover it up.
Mine says "Shiretoko"

I believe there was an xkcd comic about something like this. I might look it up later.
Of course. I'm pretty sure there's Vi for Emacs.
