Perhaps surpassed in traffic but not in quality of readers. Digg seems populated by teenaged morons for the most part, with a large share of right-wing asshats. Many without a sense of humor and certainly not too bright. Say what you want about Slashdot but at least the readers here are the kind of people I'd be happy to see in the neighborhood. With Digg readers I'd have to worry about living next door to Jackass, the Movie.
You forgot Happy Fun Time Cheesegrater Testicle Assault, from Namco for the Atari, voted the most painful game of all time.
For obvious reasons, I believe no one ever got to the final level, which involved Mexican hot peppers and flesh-eating wolverines. Ahh, let's not go there after all. Those wacky Japanese game geniuses.
I plan to invent creative and ingenious ways to pimp, and once I get a patent on hookers, I know I'll be rolling in dough. Yeah, scoff if you will. I'll have the last laugh, and the bling-bling. Now y'all come here Cindy and Lashawna, I'm feeling tense. You know what Daddy needs. Bring the penguin-fur gloves.
Then there was Bill Neel, only one of many many examples:
"When Bush went to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, "The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us."
The local police, at the Secret Service's behest, set up a "designated free-speech zone" on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush's speech.
The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, but folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president's path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign.
Then there's three Medford school teachers were threatened with arrest and thrown out of the President Bush rally at the Jackson County Fairgrounds Thursday night, after they showed up wearing T-shirts with the slogan "Protect our civil liberties."
There have been too many documented cases of harrassment of people criticizing Emperor Bush for you to laugh it off, so, take a hike, Young Republican Kool-Aid drinker.
Bush is on the road to becoming Kim Jong II, only with a Texas accent. Criticized the president? Well, you might be someone who 'aids' the enemy, and thus subject to secret imprisonment until we get this thing straightened out. Just what is Halliburton doing building all those concentration camps? What are they really for? Does Bush expect a lot of Muslim terrorists to come flocking over the unsealed Mexican border soon? Or could they be for political prisoners or people protesting the fraud in the US economic figures? War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.
Interesting to mention constantly changing data. I, for one, cannot watch a lot of music videos and even movies these days because the flash cuts literally hurt my eyes. What the hell is this stimulus doing to kids? Another recent paper investigates autism as a failure to properly develop 'mirror neuron' systems in the brain that can model behavior of other people. If a child is saturated in quick-cut data that maybe spins past too fast and drives the brain to misdevelop, perhaps a lot of TV could indeed trigger autism. What worries me is that the brain develops through adolescence, and what functional changes does incessant videogame playing lead to later in life? We really only have a decade of exposure so far, not much (videogame growth being widest in last ten years).
And the conditioning of teen cell phone users to focus on the phone and tune out or ignore everything else. I can't count how many times I've been around chatterers who are totally oblivious of their surroundings. Is this only a mere distraction, or are their brains learning to ignore local stimuli? Okay, laugh, but my car has been near-missed so many times by drivers on cell phones I have to wonder. Perhaps we are like Rome, only where they had lead in the water, we have electronics, and aspartame, and we will end up a nation of consumer zombies shambling around malls.
Just remember, the even-numbered Stephen Hawking movies will be bad, and the odd numbered ones good, and then there's the one where he invents transparent aluminum and saves the whales. That one's awesome, especially where he talks into a mouse.... what? Yes, Mom, I did take my Ritalin today! Go away, I'm busy online.
Look here, the solution to the problem is simple and lucrative.
1) The French eat snails.
2) The French eat anything with garlic on it.
3) You takes your basic radioactive snails and then you puts your garlic on them nice and even like. Then you can em and sell em in France
4) Profit!!!
And it's only Frenchmen, so who cares what this does to their DNA. Maybe you'll get a glow-in-the-dark superpowered French mime. And he can fly, if he falls off the Eiffel Tower.
If they were completely phony, I doubt they'd be presenting at all the major display technology industry conferences http://www.novalux.com/company/events.php) because their exposure to hype-killing doubters would open them to a lot of attacks. And Mitsubishi is really big in projection TV, so is a clear choice of manufacturing partner to use the laser modules Novalux produces. As for the cost issues, clearly the quickest time to market way to go is to replace conventional display components with this optical front end, and modify existing electronics - ie, Mitsubishi chassis - to handle the increased bandwidth. It all sounds feasible. Note they are demoing at the SMPTE conference next week; it's not like some Gizmondo handwaving. SMPTE attendees would smell phony a mile off.
This explains the incredible lifespans of bean-eating gurus in the Himalayas. Swami Mongo Bin Putrid claims to be over 120 years old, though no one can get close enough to him to check.
Michael, meet Mark Foley. Mark, meet Michael. I know you're going to be good friends. Dammit Mark, get your hands off Bubbles. He's only a frikking chimp. Not a page. And he's not going to lick ice cream off your nipples, even a chimp has his limits.
Not only do I find the Burger King character creepy to the max, but I just KNOW it's Mark Foley behind that mask. I've seen him sneaking up to some Congressional page's patio window in the early morning to offer him a fried egg. Can't get much weirder than that.
In other news, HP announces it had nothing to do with phony robot. Robot claims 5th Amendment. Slashdot denies dupe post having to do with pink robotic ponies. OMG. Ponies.
"The future of application development is not about programmer productivity," said Hoyle during the keynote presentation, "but in assembling functionality from components." While programming will not go away, he stressed, programming has decreasing importance in delivering excellence.
In related news, managing will not go away, but management by idiots has decreasing importance and needs to be outsourced.
Notes to self: invent thermonuclear-laser self-cleaning mouse. Do not lick mouse, no matter how inviting it is. Never scratch butt then type. Buy extra pair of underpants, bringing wardrobe total to two. Replace desk chair seat with one that is gas-proof. Find out what this stuff called 'toilet paper' is; sounds interesting.

Text messaging: literature killer or artform?
Owwie. Hey, but at least Tom Hanks didn't have a albino monk in the video.
After accidently making some meth, I got a high score of 100.

I, for one, welcome our fingerprinting overlords. Burp.

Do forever:

"How many times do I have to tell you I want to cancel your f*sking SERVICES, you foreign asshat? Can't you speak ENGLISH?"
then
Offer to give them 3 more month for free if they stay
How about the case of Nobel Prize winners arrested for protesting Bush's Iraq war policy? http://www.commondreams.org/cgi-bin/print.cgi?file =/headlines03/0326-10.htm
Or how about Cindy Sheehan being arrested being arrested for her protests against Bush? http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0926-12.ht m

Herr Commandant - nobody laughed! (shoots self in dismay).
In the Musical Turing Test recently, judges were unable to tell the difference between Britney Spears and a vocoder reading spam. I rest my case.

This will change as soon as they change their name from 'YouTube' to 'YourTube' and become a pr0n site.
