And lastly, more of a dumb request than anything: if they have the full Unicode data... can we have the browser translate the dumb picture? Yes, some of its porn...
Yeah, some of it.
You are pathetic.
I feel like picking a fight tonight.
You have no idea how common a request this was. I guarnatee that you (plural) would have given up all of the interesting "conversation" and great technical information just ot see the porn.
I'm not bitter, really. I have a new job that I like, but Damn!, even knowing it was coming, it knocked the wind out of me. I'd worked at Dejanews.com since the second round of financing (Employee 13) and enjoyed the shit out of it. I worked with some of the smartest people that I have ever known. Dedicated, fun to be around, hard working sons-/daughters=of-bitches.
Sure, I didn't like the deja.com switch any more than any of you. Well, maybe more than some of you, but that's not saying much.
We did believe in the idea of dejanews and we worked hard (at least in the beginning) to make it the resource that you have all come to rely on.
If you didn't, would it really rate a headline on slashdot.
I don't understand what google is going to do with the archive, it didn't make money for us, I know that. We geeks didn't really appreciate the advertising revenue aspect from the beginning. We were looking for specific information and once we found it we didn't hang around to click on banners.
At the time I resented you fucks for behaviour that I myself didn't really adopt. I see now, the error of my ways. I was blinded by the 300 per share stock price of our contemporaries like yahoo. It took a lot for me to realize that this shit doesn't just happen for everybody. Or, at least, not any more. However, about a 2 years ago(time of deja.com switch), I realized that there's really no money to be made serving Joe Internet User. They want everything for nothing.
I don't blame anyone for this. I'm just saddened that the dream, or promise, of a new idealism where providing a cool and extremely useful service could bring the appreciation of our peers and perhaps a little cash, was dead. Actually, I don't think that it ever existed. We just wanted it to so badly that we thought that we could make it manifest.
For all of you who complained about the changes that dejanews went though: Fuck you. We did what we thought we had to. I didn't always agree that it was the right thing to do, but WTF. We had to do something to try to keep afloat. Haven't any of you whored yourselves to buy some Ramen at the end of the month.
I realize that this is rambling and I am going nowhere. I am drunk and sad. I just promised myself that I would say something here after all of this.
I love you guys. No, sherioushly. I do. You guysh are great. We need to do thish more often.
Thanks.
And by insignificant assest, you can include the employees, google didn't take any of us.
I also defy Singaporean(?)law. You know why? It doesn't apply to me.
You challenge us players to what? What argument are you making? Whether god exists in the way that you believe he does? It is not an argument, it is a discussion. There can be no conclusive proof that either side is correct, although I am _sure_ that you believe otherwise.
Or do you just want somewhat to show up so you can browbeat them with your beliefs.
By the way can someone who doesn't believe in god be a satan worshipper? Or are we just the same as satan worshippers because be don't believe what you believe?
I think you are hilarious, but I don't think I'd want to meet you, you might shoot me to end my dark reign of terror. (Gandolf Halfling: Am I in the same room where he's casting all these spells? DM: No! Your in the tavern!)
He rolls a save vs. death. You missed.
Ack! Troll... Where's my +3 Flameblade? (more..)

All humor aside. Even thought I think that this poster is quite touched in the head, it just reminds me how diverse the geek-culture is. Or how devoted to perpetutating the sad stereotype that gamers (D&D specifically) are evil bad people, it is guys just like this that burned "witches" in Salem.
What is up with that? I don't play anymore, but it
seemed at the time that it was a really good creative way to pass the time. I wasn't into religion (although I went to church), and am a devout agnostic (atheist without the commitment) to this day.
Its funny how readily Christians (mostly protestant Christians in my experience) slip from the "suffer not a witch to live", to the New Testament "every man loveth his neighbor" when it suits there argument.
BTW, I didn't notice other comments going in this direction so I posted it under the original poster. Sosumi.
We just recieved a boatload of Fullon's and VA sells a system called the VA Cluster Management System (I've also heard it referred to as "The Mayor", although that is just a software component). I have not read up on it too much (its one of those upgrades we'll probably never get to see).
More info about it is here. Its actually a bit different (and much more expensive), but seems to have similar functionality.

Again, Pathetic.

Or so I've been lead to believe.
