Oh I never read /. comments unless I needed a Swedish flagellation. My problem with Digg comments, and in fact the story summaries and titles too, is the repeated use of the exclamation mark. It seems as though to get onto the front page you have to put three or more of them in the title and six or more in the summary. You also have to use words and phrases like "awesome", "huge", "oh my freakin god!!!!!!" and "like!, you know!, awesome!" "Dude" in reference to previous comments is also common. I thought I had left high school behind until I subscribed to Digg. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Really? I've found digg far better than Slashdot. After many years of addiction, I'm Slashdot-free for nearly a week now. :-O

I've been (mostly) Slashdot free for almost 6 months - and feel much better for it! :) You can do it to! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

It is akin to Google Desktop Search. A user creates a standard set of "schemas" that they can attach to any file or folder. Once the schemas are attached, they can fill them out to provide information about the file or folder. I am actually currently using to organize my work. I created a class library schema and attached it to all of our class libraries so that I can organize and search them by language, purpose, developers, functions, etc. I also created a project schema and put all of the resources for each project into their folders, then attached schemas to them so I could organize them by project leader, due date, subject, etc. I create the schemas and I set the fields. I can perform searches for this metadata straight through Windows Explorer. The thinking behind going open-source is that if I release the code, users can still use the engine, but design the UI to fit their needs. It's being used at a motorcycle wheel shop right now to organize all of their blueprints. The search interface actually shows a picture of a wheel, with "fill in the blank" dimensions surrounding it as their search platform. I will post an article soon.
I'm waiting for it :)

<California Accent> Maybe most of those dude are, like, from California. Once you read a most awesome article, you can't help but get stoked, and like, totally express yourself. </California Accent> Seriously though. That type of speak is actually very common in California. Even by those in their 20s and 30s. I speak that way too, although I try to hide it when posting here. But sometimes it leaks through, so try to imagine Keanu Reaves talking whenever you read my posts. Okay? :) -- modified at 14:46 Monday 20th February, 2006

Gah! I'm addicted to Slashdot. I need to lower my dosage to once every two days perhaps. I wonder if there's any SA (Slashdot Anonymous) :laugh: Edbert Sydney, Australia
There really should be :) It tooks me weeks to wean myself from it. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned Save an Orange - Use the VCF!

That crazy thing you northerners do where you sit in a sauna hitting each other with birch branches and then run naked through the snow and dive into freezing water. Bunch of sado machists I tell you. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

The funny thing is I come from the California of South Africa, the surfer province of KwaZulu Natal. I grew up with surfer lingo, all the dudes and awesomes and bodaci*. My high-school was 100 feet from the beach and every morning we'd have to go out and drag the surfers into school. Then we'd have to go to the drive-in next door and get all the skaters to come in. Gosh, I even used to speak it. But while I still lapse into it when relaxing I never use it on a public website. Ah well. Digg can, well, dig, you know. * Is the plural of bodacious, bodaci? regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Hey, that's true. I think a lot of that site's followers are young kids who like Kevin Rose (site founder and former TechTV/G4TV personality). So that's probably the source of the lack of maturity levels there.
I nearly impaled myself on an Apple Mac when I watched Diggnation. God help us if those are the future of web entrepreneurs. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

doOnly the Swedish version of rednecks. Other significant tell tale signs of a Swedish redneck are:
- Denim/Jeans vest
- Leather tie + shirt (a dressed up redneck). A more causual redneck would wear the vest too
- When out on escapades a saturday night: he will carry a 35 cl bottle in his back pocket (jeans pants, of course)
- He drives a shitty car on weekdays, most likely a rusty Volvo from -78
- He drives a shitty car on weekends also, but then it's more likely to be an old rusty yankee car
- Cheap cologne (and I really do mean cheap - its stench will knock you out miles away)
- He'll nail his wife/fiancee in public on saturday nights. Preferably on the hood of his car.
And oh yeah.. should you, for any reason at all, touch the redneck's filthy car, you are marked. It does not matter how rusty it is, and how fender bent it is, you are marked for a beating. He'll, you'd sooner get away with screwing with his wife than to touch his car. ps. clogs are worn at/to each item listed above. :) ds.
