    • Darth_tater, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5i agreee, burried as lame.
    • vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6you're lame. i counted 3
    • joshjoneswas, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2I agree. Why does everything have to be so "hilarious" on the internet?
    • rheaume, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You paid for this?? crazy!
  • kevnaca, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1Are you kiding me? You can just tell by looking at them why they didn't make the cut. Mimesweeper?! WTF
    • goat77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It appears that you are the one who didn't make the cut...
    • gbm85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Ever ask yourself "What happened to Digg?"

      The parent comment contains your answer.
  • skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Is this the "I'm a PC guy" we always see in the Mac commercials?

    • toby34a, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Like this needs a duggmirror... marked as lame for being clinically stupid.
  • DjDimitrious, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6no one has a sense of humor tonight? I thought it was at least mildly clever....
    • Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Apparently, some people thought this was real. My response to them:
      sar·casm (sär'kăz'əm)
      n.
      1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
      2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
      3. The use of sarcasm.
  • jeff1943, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Can't you guys tell the sarcasm? Gessh..

    \edit - dam. DjDimitrious beat me =(
  • kajoob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Come on, you guys rag on Microsoft for being a monolithic faceless humorless entity, but recently they've loosened the reigns a little and let their people joke around a little bit and you rag on them for that. While not entirely funny, I give the guy a small huzzah for being just a regular joe trying to make the best of his job!
  • Vovansim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The article is like "heh" funny. The comments, though, by the people taking the "Safe Delete" button (and other features) seriously are truly lol-worthy. Dugg for the comments. ;)
    • dazmania, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed. Comments were classic:

      "For the safe delete, you could've instead added a checkbox that reads "Delete files using safe delete", or instead added another button reading "Safe Delete" in the Confirm Delete dialog. In both cases, a TaskDialog window should pop up to warn users the action they're about to perform is unsafe.

      No offense, but the way it was implemented in that screenshot was extremely confusing. I didn't even know that odd third caption button was the regular Close."

      and

      "Poor choice of the icon and location for safe delete - most users I know click on the x in the right corner of the window to close programs when they are done. Bad enough to use the x but even a worse choice for a location. You shold use a totally different icon that no one has seen before in the window bar, also a different location like maybe the bottom of the window."

      That's what the internet's meant to be about...laughing at stupid people.

  • Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I thought the Mimesweeper thing was actually quite funny.
  • davevr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow, you digg guys are a tough audience. If you don't find TECO humor funny, why - you just have no place on the internet :-P
    • sfatoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2don't worry about the rest of the diggers. I thought the teco interpreter part was hilarious. just looking at that teco code cracked me up.
