  • CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -191/+14Worlds most disgusting BitTorrent: Jenna Jamesons face
    • Junkey, on 10/12/2007, -11/+166I guess I didn't get the whole torrent file of that joke, because it wasn't funny from the parts I saw.
    • Shuk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+302At least you don't have to throw double the rocks back.
    • afx1, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1Quite the larf.
    • shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -18/+10Yes that is Hilarious
      wait no, the other one, Dull.
    • 6cyV7dpXUrZomP3, on 10/12/2007, -18/+1You had to have it all. Well, have you had enough?

      You greedy little bastards will get what you deserve.
    • PhantomBantam, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3http://www.duggmirror.com working
    • LucasVB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+178Grog... What a ***** leecher.
    • fartingbob, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Wheres the funny bit? All i see is a lame ass comic which is about as funny as having haemeroids.
  • Godlesswanderer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+58Ah... the good old days.
    • dtraneighty8, 11 hr 14 min ago, -4/+107Ahh yes... the days where the pieces moved much faster.
    • Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+100At least then, if a seed dropped out, you could throw one of their own pieces back at them, giving them a concussion.
    • izaic3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12The good ol' days, when one didn't have to worry about the pieces getting clogged in the tubes.
  • metalica77, on 10/12/2007, -8/+52ah yes now is the day of the huge 24gb HD-DVD
    • NanoStuff, on 10/14/2007, -157/+9Please people, figure out the difference between b and B. What's that, you 'only' paid $250 for a 750Gb hard-drive? You're a ***** moron then aren't you?
    • evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -4/+61Nano, do us a favor and STFU.
    • armbar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+98Nano's comment has been brought to you today by the letters "b" and "B", and the number "you're an idiot".
    • mystagogue, on 10/12/2007, -22/+2nano, you're an idiot. people getting ripped off by paying for a 750 GB disk and getting a 698.5 GB disk come from different definitions of the G, not the B.
    • tablelegs, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3@mystagogue:

      Bit and Byte both start with the letter 'B.' Looks like it's back to preschool.
    • sancho, on 10/14/2007, -11/+12The poster he responded to typed "gb" which would be "gigabit" instead of "gigabyte". That's what he was referring to, I'm sure.
    • cdmarcus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17@mystagogue:
      Nano's actually talking about bits (b) and bytes (B). Which means an even bigger ripoff. But he's still a pedantic, sick guy who needs to get a life.
    • MaVeRiCK42, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3For $250!? That's cheap, they're around £200 here, according to my magazine.
    • profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Even lamer than Nano pointing that out, is the fact that nobody seems to have understood...
    • Epyn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Yeah, NO ONE on digg knows the difference between bits and bytes, apart from you two guys. Just keep telling yourself that, it is a very complicated concept after all.
    • SpacemanSpiff, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@mystagogue
      The size discrepancy is not from the difference between bits and bytes, but rather the fact that manufacturers measure the hard drive size in bytes and there is a loss in the conversion since you divide by 1,024 3 times to get to gigabytes.

      250,000,000,000 bytes / 1,024 kilobytes = 244,140,625 kilobytes
      244,140,625 kilobytes / 1,024 megabytes = 238,418.6 megabytes
      238,418.6 megabytes / 1,024 gigabytes = 232.8 gigabytes
    • sv650touring, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In the context of mass storage, I don't think anyone is going to refer to gigabits, so even if he used a little b, normal people know he means bytes. A technical mistake that is easy to figure out.

      OTOH, if someone were talking about data transfer rates, then incorrect usage could be confusing. I wish comcast gave me 6MBps, but I'm glad I get more than 770kbps, instead of the 6Mbps/770kBps I do get. Notice how I use little k's and big M's, to prevent nano from correcting THAT part of my reply.

      And I don't bother with kibibytes and gibibytes because it would just ruffle the feathers of my coworkers who have never heard of such a thing...
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -22/+3Cohen is gonna be so mad he didnt invent it...
  • syl1985, on 10/12/2007, -9/+40Ahhh so because 1 Extra Life toon made the front page it's time to go through the entire archive bringing up the best?
    • HolyCrapYo, on 10/12/2007, -23/+5Digg and all of its Web 2.0 friends (Comic) - Submitted: 21 hours 50 min ago

      PICTURE: World's first BitTorrent - Submitted: 7 hours 30 min ago

      I guess that puts that argument to rest!

    • Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25this is the best? seriously?
    • syl1985, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Touche nerfdude...

      And to the submitters response: wha? that made no sense...
  • Hellman109, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Massive amounts of data... Massive amounts of data...
  • mcheddadi, on 10/12/2007, -23/+16Ah, I love the "Ok, This is Lame" button

    FAILS
    • Radiowar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19this is very lame yes
    • firehydra2k, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1Digg is lame. I love how the first dude in this thread got dugg down and the second guy got dugg up.

      Anyways, I really don't care about comics. I thought digg was a user-based news feeder, not some "CHECK OUT MY AWESOME LINK AND GIVE ME DIGG" website for rankings. What a waste of a good idea.
    • p00p, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2digg this down (or up)
  • Alex74447, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3I've been reading ExtraLife before it was dugg. There are a ton of funny ones out there in the archive.
    • MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7some of his charachters closely resemble extras from Penny-Arcade. A little too closely.
  • sloof70, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Yay Scott! You got Dugg!
  • lewikee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11What's with the bloated nipple?
    • profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Oh crap, you noticed? Yeah, I'll have to see a doctor about that...
  • morgrar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44I don't see "Bargh" on the Pirate Bay.
    • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I'll take your word for it...
    • Agret, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Just did a search for "Bargh" under all and then under porn, nothing found.
  • FriedChicken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Hilarious seems to be a bit of an overstatement.
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It wasnt porn? Wow...
    Maybe Bargh is porn though...
  • wily6, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4wtf is bargh
  • icepick314, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36he isn't seeding back...

    damm leechers....
  • jackyyll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42Share Ratio: 0.000
    • thushan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8someone seed... i'm stuck at 99.9%...
  • ncapone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Buried, like the caveman.
  • Switchnig, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24i guess it takes juan to know juan
  • DogmaticAtheism, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I wonder if the MPAA and RIAA were harassing these people too.
  • funkspiel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2It all adds up.
  • mellomutt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11we must have differing ideas of 'hilarious'
  • hfastedge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I seeded the first torrent on slashdot ever. It was of the matrix reloaded trailer. I got kicked off my college server for such activities.
    • armbar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I remember that...that stupid thing was fullscreen, around 120 megs, and all normal servers were getting slammed.
  • iMyst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Eh, I got a small chuckle out of it... still burying as lame.
  • SuperNick, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1That was the antipode of humorous.
  • orther, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30Can someone send me the link for "Hilarious picture of the world's first BitTorrent!" because I just got this lame one with a caveman and some rocks.
    • vorathee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0is it me or does caveman dude looks a lot like George Bush? arrrrgggghhh, bargh!!!
  • FrankHowley, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Scott Johnson ftw.
  • lmarburg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1funny
  • dedication, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8this isn't even remotely funny...the word hilarious shouldn't be used in this manner... its misleading..
    • humanerror, on 04/03/2008, -2/+4That's... not what ellipses are for... you can't use them as a replacement... for all other punctuation...
  • Rooker156, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8they didn't show the part where the RIAA busted in on raptor back
  • senseigmg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Bit torrent: so easy, a caveman could do it.
  • afreakinninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I was hoping it was going to be a joke about a lack of seeds or something.
  • deadaluspark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7does anyone here read anything other than this ***** unfunny comic?

    cuz seriously, there are some hilarious online comics out there.

    and this isn't one of them.
    • joeTaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Achewood, penny arcade, Rock City, Nothing Nice to Say...

      ...if only NN2S would update once in an ever!
    • MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i know! Till then we have Dr Mcninja.
  • Merrick178, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Not "hilarious." Actually not remotely hilarious... Though that's probably because I've been downloading Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" for 3 hours now... Damn you bittorrent.
  • aserer511, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I knew that's what BitTornado was!
  • izaic3, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3edit: oops, sorry, burry this.
  • joeTaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is in the top 10? Digg, go to your room!
  • sevenhelmets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks like yet another prime candidate for the Picture section in Digg......hint hint......
  • Toasterstrudull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Torrenting looks like it took more skill back then... you had to actually assemble all the bits. Im glad that winrar does it for me.
  • Zalyster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3World's first torrent, you mean.
  • swordedge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1not funny, had to get someone to slap me awake after not laughing
  • TwwIX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1me not get it
  • Carlsen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Awesome comic.
  • MissTress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It is pretty good he got all the pieces on the first try for a leecher, and also not receiving a letter from the MPAA (Motion Pebble Association of America) threatening to club him.
  • deanau, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This digg is 1337.

  • Anthracene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Not really sure where to begin to reply but some of the stupid comments I have been used to on Digg seem to be more abundant here. I think Digg is great.
  • quik22, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2buried as lame. submitter should post his address so we can throw rocks at him in real life for not being funny. liberals..
