  • Andrewbot, on 03/29/2008, -14/+5211TB for $1000? You're shopping at the wrong places.
    • TridenTBoy, on 03/29/2008, -1/+137It was in 2007 man!
      • lamiaconfitor, on 03/29/2008, -12/+8future digg posters are notoriously prone to digging inaccurate articles
      • vaguilera, on 03/29/2008, -12/+37you fail to see the point....in 20 years the dollar would be worthless, so things cost more.
        • i4mt3hwin, on 03/29/2008, -1/+31You fail to see the point, it's an article submitted about how in 2007 hardrives cost $1000.
        • KB925902, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I think the fake comment meant that a terabyte was not enough for a second of holographic porn, not $1000
    • rentmitchum, on 03/29/2008, -17/+11That's "DISCUSTING" haha
    • Culyt, on 03/29/2008, -9/+21I got my 1TB for about $260 AUD (about the same as USD nowdays :)

      That was a very cheap price and they might have 'fallen of the back of a truck' since WD woudn't let warenty registrations for them go through (although maybe they where just imported from somewhere that the serial numbers wern't like too)

      $350 would be about a normal price back then.
      • db0255, on 03/29/2008, -4/+11buried for an australian making fun of the dollar.
        • GliTCH82, on 03/29/2008, -5/+5Buried for an American making other Americans look like douchebags.
          • db0255, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3I've actually been to australia...uhhh
        • ThndrShk2k, on 03/29/2008, -1/+10You're both buried because I like to move dirt.
    • lamiaconfitor, on 03/29/2008, -14/+3future digg posters are notoriously prone to digging inaccurate articles
    • ElbertF, on 03/29/2008, -2/+120We still use Firefox 2 in 2028?
    • CarStan, on 03/29/2008, -19/+13I leave this comment as a comment to myself when i stumble upon this article in 20 years:
      Whats up dude, hows it hanging? I hope you did bang this hot red haired chick when she came back from from her 1 year trip to Australia like you wanted to. (You know wich i mean)
      And what about your other dreams: Did you run the marathon?
      DId you drank coffee with Farin Urlaub already? If not, then hurry up, he should be 60 around now.
      And what about that movie script you wanted to write?

      P.S: If time travel is available yet, please send me a message!
    • EgaoNoGenki, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3...
    • picsectionpleez, on 03/29/2008, -1/+8By far the funniest thing I have seen on Digg since 2007 DUGG!
    • locojones, on 03/30/2008, -1/+3Digg in 20 years:

      "Cannot find server. The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. "

      That's because it will be dead in about 1/5 of that time.
    • mrnicepants, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0Dude that's sweet.
  • Lesh, on 03/29/2008, -11/+181Wait, I thought Kevin was a sex offender?
    • AppleGeorge, on 03/29/2008, -143/+24Nope, he's just an emo ***** with gay hair.
      • frogman54, on 03/29/2008, -18/+40I give up. I don't know what it is with diggers and using that word. Emo poo-sniffer would have been just as effective. The word you used distracts from the joke, thus making your intention of being funny, less effective. That is unless your intention was to be a insensitive douche bag, then you wrote that masterfully. All I ask is this. The next time you are compelled to use that word, try to think of three other alternatives...if you truly believe that you cannot think of a better option...then write what you will. Deal?
        • AppleGeorge, on 03/29/2008, -62/+10Aw I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult your savior. I forgot anytime someone insults the oh so amazing Kevin Rose, one of the digg fanboys has to freak out. Sorry buddy. How's Kevin Rose's *****? Good enough for you?
        • AppleGeorge, on 03/29/2008, -49/+7And it's hilarious how you insult me for saying something, yet you've used it twice in other digg comments. Good one buddy!
          • frogman54, on 03/29/2008, -11/+30I don't give a ***** if you insult Kevin. I told you to call him a poo-sniffer. That has nothing to do with this. I did say the word twice in other comments...but you obviously didn't read the context. I used the word to condemn it. You used it to try and make a bad joke. Big difference...I'm afraid you didn't find the hypocrisy you sought. Look...I'm not asking you to be less of a douche bag...that's clearly what you want to be and I say more power to you. Douche bags can be quite funny. I just thought maybe you could try and make an attempt to find a better word next time. Is your vocabulary really so confined? I believe in you...you can do it.
          • p0s3r, on 03/29/2008, -9/+28What a whiney ***** you are.
          • slippiefist, on 03/30/2008, -0/+2"poo-sniffer"
            OMG that's so ***** gay.
          • jo3design, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3***** are gay
        • OMGLINUXWOAH, on 03/29/2008, -5/+1What a gay post.
      • cococooky, on 03/29/2008, -2/+20The "gay hair" part is superfluous, if you are gay so is your hair - it is after all a part of you......
        • Vich, on 03/29/2008, -0/+10Yes, but can you have gay hair without being gay yourself?
          Gay person -> Hair is Gay
          Hair is Gay -> ?
        • frogman54, on 03/29/2008, -1/+15Personally I don't think his hair is actually gay. It is more of an unwashed stoner doo. My gay friends wouldn't be caught dead with hair like that. Technically...Alex's hair is gay.
          • oneoverzero, on 03/29/2008, -0/+19Alex's hair likes other hair of the same gender.
          • Darkhacker, on 03/29/2008, -4/+2Alex's hair style gay but the actual hair is a bit too long for it. I think Alex is a good guy so I mean no offense to him, but I think his hair is kind of ugly and maybe even borders on douchebaggery. I think he looked a lot better when he went a couple episodes with his hair flat. At the very least, he should cut his hair shorter if he is going to keep that style.
        • Kerrigore, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3But does it remain gay once it has been cut off you? If it gets made into a wig, is that wig gay? Does anyone who wears it become gay? These are important questions!
      • andburn1, on 03/29/2008, -5/+15Look, I'm gunna back up ***** over here, even if he was being a bitch. There are all sorts of great ***** words like *****-head and ***** and ***** that you can use instead of that one. I mean, combine a curse word and a body part, like "cockfoot" or something, and you've got pure degrading gold. That word is derogatory to a group of people. And you know what? That makes you a bigoted *****. Now, if you're going to be vulgar, be creative - that's great. But stop being ***** ignorant and ass-backwards, you stupid *****.
        • CurlyMike139125, on 03/29/2008, -2/+18You just insulted the groups of people who are women (*****), retarded (*****), and those who engage in intercourse with their mothers (*****). You insulted three groups, he insulted one. You win the Most Offensive award.
        • frogman54, on 03/29/2008, -0/+8Thanks for your support...I think...***** . (Did I do it right?)
        • braudio, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1You couldn't come up with a better curse word than *****? You do know that is also an animal? And a also a body part? So your insult was actually bodypart/bodypart - kinda repetitive don't ya think? Nope, not very creative at all...
      • UKsHaDoW, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Diggers + Style Criticism...
        Does not compute.
      • ThatCreepyGuy, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I smoke fags and burn *****...while my buddy gives me a reach-around.
    • chaon93, on 03/29/2008, -27/+3So you are insulting he founder of Digg, on Digg. like wtf?!
      • prophetpimp, on 03/29/2008, -5/+7I use windows but i still hate Ballmer. Calling a ***** a ***** is ok.
        • Darkhacker, on 03/29/2008, -5/+8Except for the fact that your a 22 year old virgin, meanwhile, Kevin is the founder of a successful online business and has gotten more vajayjay than you can imagine.
          • prophetpimp, on 03/29/2008, -6/+1i assume he got some action of your ass too?
          • LocalDocal, on 03/29/2008, -1/+4I can't believe I actually found someone who says the word 'vajayjay' outside of an area playing 'The Vagina Monologues'.
          • FiercestCalm, on 03/29/2008, -0/+5You know, just going to throw this out - the Vagina Monologues probably uses the word Vagina.
      • Philluminati, on 03/29/2008, -0/+8He can take a joke
    • Stettenbauer, on 03/29/2008, -1/+86Should have read "Kevin gets another liver transplant."
    • flashback99, on 03/29/2008, -1/+10Nicely trolled. 1UP.
    • jessi3k3, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2I am Ron Burgundy?
  • funknjunk, on 03/29/2008, -12/+274What about the lolcats?
    • Ataxia2008, on 03/29/2008, -1/+177Cats become extinct in 2013
      • geek22, on 03/29/2008, -4/+93And jellyfish become the new lolcat = loljellyfish.
      • rentmitchum, on 03/29/2008, -3/+122***** that *****. Cats aren't going anywhere. I'll keep a cat-cache hidden away in my attic like Helen Keller.
        • Obsydian, on 03/29/2008, -1/+62or Eric Cartman?
        • hmemcpy, on 03/29/2008, -3/+79You mean Anne Frank
          • GiggleStick, on 03/29/2008, -2/+22Why did you have to ruin it?
          • rentmitchum, on 03/29/2008, -3/+27You're thinking of the character in the Miracle Worker. I'm referring to a jewish girl who hid from Nazi's during WWII. You know, Hellen Keller.
          • theaceoffire, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1O.O
          • itsthebrod, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2David Cross is that you? Oh wait, that was Hitler and Anne Frank wasn't it...
          • CurlyMike139125, on 03/29/2008, -9/+1To rentmitchum: The only reason you're getting dugg up is because people think you're making a reference to the most recent episode of South PArk, where Eric Cartman did exactly what you described.
          • samgab, on 03/29/2008, -7/+3Helen Keller was the blind, deaf, and dumb girl who learned to communicate with people and went on to have a pretty full life. Nobody locked her in a basement, and she was a very old woman by the time of WW2.
          • slippiefist, on 03/30/2008, -0/+5Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Helen Keller was the lady that made friends with a bunch of Gorillas. They made a movie about her starring Sigourney Weaver.
          • rentmitchum, on 03/30/2008, -1/+2People have trouble with jokes with layers. Haha.. At least I see 114 people didn't.
        • teoria, on 03/29/2008, -14/+0Unless you're being overly sarcastic, (which is a weird way to admit you're wrong) the girl who hid from Nazis was definitely Anne Frank.
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_frank

          I can't believe I just linked to a wiki article. I feel ashamed.
        • daEvan, on 03/29/2008, -2/+12Am I the only one who understood the "Clerks" reference?
          • rentmitchum, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1Oh there were many references there. The problem was, people tended to miss at least 1 of them. =D Happy to be of service.
        • Pedlya, on 03/29/2008, -1/+5Clerks II*
      • shadeOfGrey, on 03/29/2008, -0/+18Yes, we finally defeated them in the second nuclear war.
      • Darkhacker, on 03/29/2008, -3/+20I've been killing about one cat a day since I was 8, so it's about time.
      • n00bl0v3r, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4They had to kill them after southpark revealed the secret of cheesing
      • se1zure, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4Cats are outlawed to prevent the abuse of cheesing, silly.
      • mikebaldwin67, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2im totally cheesed out of my mind right now guys.
      • Animelee, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2In the future, there was a nuclear war. And because of all the radiation, cats developed the ability to shoot lasers out of their mouths. Some will use the cats for good, others for evil. Who will win in a world of... Laser Cats!
    • CarStan, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2Ithis comment is censored by the Federal People's Library for Internet History
    • domokunt, on 03/29/2008, -0/+32Eradicated in the vicious war between Anonymous and Scientology, Scientology eliminated the Lolcats after being Rickrolled "1000 times too many"
    • blup3ace, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2no tasers?
    • vptel, on 03/29/2008, -1/+9lolcats are sooo 2009, in the future it's all about rolfdogs
      • johnsmith3210, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2Do a search for "fail dogs". Funny stuff.
    • tyywebb, on 03/29/2008, -1/+8WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE LOLCATS?
    • Masticity, on 03/29/2008, -0/+19Cats became an advance cybernetic organism in 2012. SkyCat came online December 22, the ensuing war resulted in the human population becoming slaves to the Cats, who felt LOLCats were disrespectful.
      • yaddayaddayoda, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4The human resistance will be led by Ceiling Cat.
        • CoolBluReason, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0Ceiling Cat will intervene when there's a shortage of cookies and can openers, which we all know were made as loving gifts to the almighty Ceiling Cat!
        • edwartica, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1NAh, he's too busy watching you masturbate.
      • samgab, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I for one welcome our new lolcat overlords.
    • tehroflmaoer, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2lolbot
  • shadowblade989, on 03/29/2008, -12/+743Forgot one:
    962541 Diggs: Ron Paul, 93, to be oldest candidate ever
    • ShoalinVsWuTang, on 03/29/2008, -2/+56And just for today "Kids slash EVERY school bus tire ever to stay out of school"
    • ChronicColonic, on 03/29/2008, -24/+6Another one:
      Earth's population has diminished due to Digg users inability to find mates
      "In 2028, three quarters of the world's population has a Digg account. Scientist estimate that 87% (plus/minus 5% margin of error) of Digg users are male. Long time Digg users have not been able to find a partner. New users seem to lose there mate as their attention turns to Digg."
      • Tunguska, on 03/29/2008, -2/+15Phayle.
      • andburn1, on 03/29/2008, -4/+1Too much detail. And really, not that great of an idea. Some actual humor mightn't have hurt, and a little formatting might have benefit the overly long explanation. All in all, on a scale of one to ten, I'd give you a Fail.
    • peregrin641, on 03/29/2008, -4/+17Haha! I was thinking, "Ron Paul Bot announces presidential bid!!"
    • domokunt, on 03/29/2008, -1/+842934 Diggs - KEVIN PLEASE FIX THE COMMENT SYSTEM IS SUX!
      • form3hide, on 03/29/2008, -3/+2whats wrong with it?
        • form3hide, on 03/30/2008, -0/+3i'm being dugg down because i asked a question? geez... maybe thats whats wrong with digg commenting
        • daimposter, on 03/31/2008, -1/+1it sucks. that's what. it freezes the screen at times and has some kind of script error.....whether I use firefox or IE. I'm debating switching to redditt.
    • Exploit, on 03/29/2008, -3/+2736782 Diggs - The best 404 Errors ever!
    • hatchetbearer, on 03/29/2008, -3/+2you didnt turn caps lock on whist typing ever
    • RST1123, on 03/29/2008, -1/+28203,000 Diggs - Chelsea Clinton won't drop out of the race, despite minuscule chance to clinch nominee.
    • JohnFromChicago, on 03/29/2008, -4/+3After abolishing the Fed, eliminating the IRS, restoring the Constitution, and braving several assassination attempts, Ron Paul runs for reelection at 93.
    • asiantecknoboi, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1ITS OVER 9(hundred) THOUSAND!!
    • Scheissen, on 03/29/2008, -9/+4OBAMABOT announces presidential bid. Supporters jack off!
    • jtanang, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4481313 Diggs - Free Dr Pepper to everyone as Axl releases Chinese Democracy today!!
  • Dokument, on 03/29/2008, -25/+15That was pure win.
  • CunningLinguist, on 03/29/2008, -4/+534should say "submitted by mr. baby grandpa"
    • celkin, on 03/29/2008, -0/+91No, it's only twenty years, so it would be "submitted by mrfratboy"
  • richmessenger, on 03/29/2008, -42/+13I thought the xkcd rss feed was already part of the algorithm. Buried for old new.
    • vornan19, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3That's the posting that made me laugh. Oops! I meant LOL.
  • Dylson, on 03/29/2008, -2/+227Forgot the "comment system comming soon"
  • AppleGeorge, on 03/29/2008, -38/+7Wow, in 20 years, Firefox's icons still look the exact same. That's sad. If Digg is still around in 20 years, then damn..
    • CrazyDave303, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3for the past 12 years the Win95 theme is how I have on my explorer (the OS shell , not internet one) I will not be shocked if it looks the same (only in a higher rez hopefully) in 8years to come.
  • polishdude06, on 03/29/2008, -6/+406Dugg for holographic porn.
  • billlyboobs34, on 03/29/2008, -7/+2722029 year of linux desktop...HA
    • Viriatus2, on 03/29/2008, -6/+5i wonder if ATI continues to make ***** Linux drivers
      • sexybobo, on 03/29/2008, -0/+7If they continue making ***** cards like they have been i don't think that will affect to many people.
        • dsmx, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1What are you talking about there latest ones are very good not conclusive 8800GT beaters but perfectly acceptable in almost all games.
    • grimward, on 03/29/2008, -0/+10I'm with billy here, I almost got tea allover my keyboard .. :D
    • brainboy77, on 03/29/2008, -3/+52029? i'm thinking more of 2129. "We finally nuked apple and microsoft. No really, we used nukes. Go Ubuntu!!" But then, the google OS FINALLY came out, and linux fans went home to their nuclear shelter and shot themselves. and then it was posted on digg. ah, the ultimate irony.
      • str1fe, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Was the nuclear material open source?
        • mikebaldwin67, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3no, but the lack of humor in that comment is available through a creative commons license.
    • FutureGuy, on 03/29/2008, -0/+12029: Why next few years will see the demise of MS.
    • whitenerdy92, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Yeah... that's kinda soon isnt it?
    • enterneo, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1desktops would have become passe' by then
  • Jenadae, on 03/29/2008, -8/+268"Kid destroys jets on over 2000 hover transports to avoid school"
    • brkhobowriter, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1And tags one with Senior '28...
  • ThatOneFatGuy, on 03/29/2008, -27/+11Anyone else read the xkcd story and think "yeah they should/will probably do that."?
    • ShoalinVsWuTang, on 03/29/2008, -12/+9I really just don't find xkcd humorous..........
      • NecroDigg, on 03/29/2008, -9/+7Buried for blaspheming
      • whitenerdy92, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Buried for being a fake digger. You're a Scientologist too, aren't you? And you probably love Microsoft. And hate Obama.
  • smackkmonkey, on 03/29/2008, -6/+26Maybe a new comment system will have been implemented by then
  • davidwasman, on 03/29/2008, -7/+444So by 2028 there won't be anymore Apple news on the front page?
    • celkin, on 03/29/2008, -2/+91True. We should be seeing articles about how the iEye is going to reinvent human biology.
      • Optimaximal, on 03/29/2008, -0/+45That was submitted back in 2024...
      • Skooma714, on 03/29/2008, -0/+33Sailors will be the first adopters of it.
        • tas08, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3I had already collapsed this thread before I realized what you had said. up.
        • patho, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2logged in to digg this.
    • raptordrew, on 03/29/2008, -22/+7We won't hear about Apple news because Apple WILL be what everyone is on; hence, no reason to bash MS and post about Apple rumors
    • SSUK, on 03/29/2008, -2/+2520 years is too long to wait...
    • ahawks, on 03/29/2008, -15/+2By 2028 Apple will have dominated the market, and thus will be the default. You don't see a "Microsoft" section currently, do you?
    • Chassit, on 03/29/2008, -1/+8And there was much rejoicing!
    • usingpond, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Maybe there wasn't room for every article that Digg geeks irrationally love or hate?
  • tehdinosaurs, on 03/29/2008, -14/+201Apparently Apple will go out of business within 20 years...
    • celkin, on 03/29/2008, -5/+20They flop the day after Steve Jobs is "assassinated"
    • anchorman, on 03/29/2008, -17/+3Actually Apple goes on to dominate the computer industry... buying up Dell, M$, HP and others. Since Apple made all personal computers... the term PC simply meant a personal computer... it went without saying that it was made by Apple.

    • identitymatrix, on 03/29/2008, -1/+120 years from now the international space station might be like 50% complete, so I doubt we will have inhabited other planets.
      • avatarpalin, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1You're right, I should get me facts right before making a statement such as the Piratebay moving a server to mars.. no you think of it moving a server instance to a location such as that would make them vulnerable to being cut from the main backbone between Earth and Mars, not to mention that risk of a potential outage decreasing the chance of a 99.99 uptime for the calendar year, based on the fact that solar energy would be the only form of reliable source of electricity until either wind stations or nuclear reactors are established. Also unless they have the latency issues figured out people would opt for other torrent sites which give a faster return on their 'Britney Spears Daughter + Lesbian +Viper Room" searches.

        Also it's highly unlikely that the Democratic Order of Planets would even be established given the obvious DOOP acronym and that it's basis was from a fictional cartoon series called Futurama.

        Yes with all those facts standing in the way of such an event even occurring why would I make such a ridiculous claim..

        For pure low brow humour? Noooooo..
