Valve's Gabe Newell gave the following press release:
'W-w-w-w-we ap-p-p-pologise for any t-t-t-t-trouble that has been caused-d-d-d by this b-b-b-b-fnargen-b-b-b-b-bug, we are l-l-l-labia-l-l-looking into this and will fix this problem as soon p-p-p-p-p-possible. CUNT!'
Read the fucking other posts, retard. I know what the fuck is going on in Iraq. I 'have a clue' about he blowing up of innocents. Still, it doesn't change the fact that the parent poster completely misunderstood what was being said.
aww whats wrong? mad someone gets +5 for something other than Bush bashing.
No you fucking illiterate prick, someone got a +5 for stating the fucking obvious. The parent got a +5 for stating the same old tired rhetoric and misunderstood the orignal poster's point. That's all.
While I agree that movie studios gobbling up domain names for every single throwaway movie (hey, why don't we create a new domain for each Slashdot article that nobody will visit in a years time?) isn't too great, it's kind of hard to remember the URL for a deeply nested page when it's flashed on screen for 1.5 seconds at the end of a movie trailer.
Of course I know that if I need to find out more about a film I can hit IMDB and other sites, but I'm thinking more about Joe Sixpack and Jane Boxwine who want to find out more about the horror flick using their AOL intrawebs. It makes sense from the studios POV.
I also fell down on the Earthlink question, bringing my score down to a 9/10. I hurriedly marked it as Legitimate because the referred URL was Earthlink.net and not earthlink.blahblah.info etc.
I could see a lot of people falling for that one as it really looked the business, although I have heard that an obvious warning sign for a phishing email is the phrase 'Dear Xyz Customer' instead of your actual name (which was the style adopted by the pseudo Earthlink email).
Oh well, to paraphrase Meatloaf: 'Nine out of ten ain't bad'

He stopped the chaffing effect by using olive oil...
The French also created Velcro Sheep, but they didn't catch on either.

Read the fucking comments attached to the parent.

I wish I could get a +5 for being this much wide of the mark.
I saw it in a documentary on BBC Two
So we can cut through more wood with less effort?
Only if it has a liquid center.
Mmm.... liquid center.
completely smooth
But officer, I didn't know it was naturally smooth!
It's just not the same without the bitter, middle aged waitress named Flo offering you a refill.
He could just be a Brit like me, though I'm not sure if that actually invalidates the 'pretentious prick' part :)
If you want to get all technical, use the phrase 'motion picture'.

I hear you need to give them semen, urine and stool samples. Your underpants will do just fine
If you're a gambling man...
Give it a spin
Ok the odds aren't that great at eight to one on but if you think it's a sure thing...
Banning the use of the terms 'Master' and 'Slave' for denoting hard drive configurations? Oh wait...
Yeah asbestos is very nasty stuff indeed.
My grandma died of asbestosis. It took 'em two weeks to cremate her.
As an agnostic, I can state without doubt that Zilla may or may not exist.
God's being put into semi-retirement due to long term exposure? :)
Clearly the technology is not yet advanced enough.
Yes, because that's a completely sound analogy...
Gee, I really wonder why you're a foe of a friend.

I've heard that there's a glaring plot hole.
