Godwin's law doesn't apply here. Ted Hitler confessed to being Adolf Hitler's grandson. You can state facts mentioning nazis and Hitler as often as you like.
Now if the grandparent would have said something like "You're a fucking net-nazi", Godwin would apply.
Actually, this might really work. Why would I want to buy the Xbox 2 when Playstation 3 with its Cell processor is just around the corner?
There hasn't been, to my knowledge, one single confirmed spec about the Xbox 2. And everybody knows that the PS3 will have the (woo, awesome!!!!!) Cell processor and (smokin') Rambus ram.
One tip for Opera users is using mouse gestures. If you have some legitimate page to browse, or at least a legitimate looking page, keep it in the background, and when someone approaches, hold down the right mouse button and roll the scroll wheel down one notch.
This will bring the legitimate looking page to the front without the ctrl-tab twitch. You will probably have your hand on the mouse anyway if you're browsing the web, so the gesture will be practically unnoticeable.
Or, you could close the tab. Gesture down-right. And when the person leaves, press ctrl-alt-z to re-open the tab.
If you want to increase the effect, hide the page bar. This will hide the tabs and nobody can tell that you have some other pages in the background.
Ebay is funny. Every positive feedback comment must be AAAAA+++++++++, or you don't really mean it.
And if you are selling something, and you want people to look at you stuff, you must add LOOK to the subject line. And if you really want people to look at your wares, you write LQQK or L@@K. LOOK, LQQK and L@@K are a guarentee of a quality product.
"Nice work with that airstrike, took out our whole team!" "Heh, nearly got me there, old chum, but this time I was the better dueller." "Please try to avoid the mines I have planted. Also, I don't think your complaints are legitimate since you yourselves ran into my mines." "Wow, you killed 3 people in a row with your Thompson, you must be very skilled."
Farscape had a funny approach to technobabble. When someone starts trying to explaing something, someone else tells them to shut up.
And in the episode where they were all shrunk, Sikozu tries to say how it's not possible for them to have really shrunk, and John just says that that's what's happened, no use in trying to say it's not possible.
Slashdot Mirror
Nope. From that Wikipedia article: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
Surye said that Stephen Colbert's real name is Ted Hitler. This is not a comparsion to Hitler. It is a statement of a fact.
I forgive you. It's a common mistake.

Yes, its a funny post.

Okay, does that mean that I really should get over it or that I should not get over it? This new English is confusing...
If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels and all these things I got!
Not to mention Libraries of Congress for amount of data.
I love Google so much I want to rub it all over my naked body!
Because everyone loves crappy 80s synth music when fighting monsters.
Maybe not everyone, but apparently I and my friends do.
Laguna's battle theme in FF8 was the best evah!
An episode of a tv show lasts 22 or 45 minutes, while the average song lasts 3 to 4 minutes.
What?
And you can be sure BatMax will use Slashdot as proof that the sticker works. "Featured on the technology website Slashdot."
It sticks.
I Agree With This Post.
This story is just embarassing.

Hear hear!
It's fucking annoying that fight scenes in just about every film are full of 0.5 second cuts and shaking cameras.

I thought the gameplay (at least the battle system) was great. It was by far the best battle system in the Final Fantasies I've played.
But I don't have a Linux machine!
Support them for their open drivers, or ditch them due to idiotic marketing choices?
As a Windows user, I say "ditch them due to idiotic marketing choices."
I'm not dead!
I'm getting better!
I feel fine!
I think I'll go for a walk.
