Hillary Transue’s Judge Tied to Mob

You may remember the Hillary Transue case where a high-school girl got the book thrown at her by an obviously corrupt judge for posting something disparaging on her MySpace page about a principal. Well, it just get’s better and better for this cocksucker ex-judge, Michael T. Conahan. Michael T. Conahan, one of the two Luzerne [...]

There are some articles floating around today on Social networking and if it is a saturated field and some statistics on how many friends you may actually interact with online vs. offline. Good read and very educational. Cameron Marlow, a research scientist at Facebook, shared some interesting stats on Facebook users’ social behavior patterns. His [...]

SpyPig

I don’t know if this is something that you want to use or not but I liked the name so here we are. Just so you know, you don’t have to use the pig graphics. There is a image file that is blank so that you don’t look like a complete douchebag. SpyPig is a [...]

LEGO Business Cards

This is getting passed down the line. LEGO business cards. Reportedly, LEGO even attempts to match an employee’s features with their own minifigs. I think we’ve got a winner for the coolest business card ever. What kind of geeky business cards have you had? Let us know in the comments. LEGO Business Card | Geekdad [...]

Honk If You’re Paying My Mortgage

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Republican Party has released a new bumper sticker designed to let people express their frustration with the relentless march by the Obama administration and the out-of-control Democrat Congress to enact endless “bailouts” and “economic stimulus” packages that are pushing America trillions of dollars deeper into debt. The sticker, which reads HONK [...]

Obama Steals Future

Seems as if there is an imposter The Minority Report blog out there. Bastards. How dare they steal the name that I stole! Well regardless of their blatant thievery, this Steve Foley cat posted a really good video on how much the new administration is going to cost us. I have to say that I [...]

OMG Erlang Really Does Suck

I posted the other day quite facetiously that Erlang sucked based entirely on a stupid web statical graph. Of course, I got a few hits so I investigated the sources. I found this cool blog posting about the shortcomings of Erlang. You can tell the dude really does like Erlang but has a few issues. [...]

Windows 7 Team Slacking Less

Looks like Sinofsky and the boys have been busy and busy listening to the critics that say that the Windows 7 Engineering team isn’t providing enough feedback to the beta testers (and world) about what’s being fixed due to comments and bug reports. Personally, I would like to see the list that Long Zheng put [...]

Jew Doctor Creating Arian Supermen

I’ve been predicting this for 10 years at the very least and any science fiction fan worth their salt knew this was coming. I personally, aside from the ethical considerations and the pro-life nutbags, think it’s exciting. Do I want a blond haired, blue eyed, Arian monster with no health problems? Fuck yeah! Now this [...]

Florida Creates Walking Magnetic Handbags

Normally I don’t clip Slashdot directly, but the one line that Samzenpus wrote today was worth the clip. Setup: Florida, faced with a problem of crocodiles returning to residential neighborhoods after being relocated elsewhere, is trying to solve it by affixing magnets to the crocs’ heads. The theory is the crocodiles use the Earth’s magnetic [...]
