I dunno who leaked it or why, but it made me even more psyched to see the movie.

I actually like this song now - awesome geekness here.

This guy stands up and says what most all of us think about Facebook updates.

What self respecting Geek does not love Godzilla? This site gives you a haiku with pics.

Just too funny. Btw I looked for pics from the event and couldn't find any. As a publicity stunt it worked like magic. So much so that Redmond found out and sent flowers with this note.

Thanks for the good times IE6, see you all @ MIX when we show a little piece of IE Heaven. The Internet Explorer Team @ Microsoft.

I haven't had to do this yet, but I can forsee the day when I will - oh yes, it's coming.

This is a great article that guides you through the process one step at a time. Cool. I'm keeping it for someday soon.

I encountered with a problem of importing a database from mysql to mssql server. I tried this, that, Google and wasted my time to find the way. After trying several things, finally I got an easiest solution to import the data from mysql to mssql server. Then I thought I can help programmer’s society by posting this article. I can say it’s my another steps towards the social work: P

Bigtime funny

Oddly this works like a charm, so if you have a start up that lacks a name.......

Some examples

You read that right - a bacon rocket, complete with song!

I know a good many techs out there that would love this ...

* Provides 5 cable types in one connector
* Just rotate the center to the cable you need
* Cable options:
o ROLLED: Connect a host to a Cisco router or switch
o CROSSOVER: Communicate directly between computers without a hub or switch
o STRAIGHT-THROUGH: Use as a standard RJ45 patch cable
o ATM/LOOPBACK: Test if a network card is working by checking for link lights with no need for a hub or switch
o T1: Connect to DDS lines / T1 trunk lines

$30 bucks out the door at Think Geek.

Thanks Blaze, I actually avoided it until you sent the link then I watched it and wow - They got another super viral hit with geek flair on this one.

If you missed part I it's HERE

I know a lot of you won't need this, but it is a darn fine implementation of GPS, Marine, Shipping data.

The Irony is this clip is on HULU and it's making fun of You Tube.

I really like this infographic. My first decent computer cost $3500 - the (extra) hard drive that went with it was 20 Megs and sounded like a jet turbine powering up. (I miss that)

Over the years how do the prices of tech compare in today's dollars?

Nicely done.

Its so true, I mean you could have tried the dictionary ... (if your family had one) - but it was unlikely 65% of the time.

OMG it's the I-Trash

I love Leo - he lays down the law on this one - geeky thumbs up all round.

I wish I lived in Colorado as this looks like a hella good time. IS IE6 actually dead? Sigh, no- but it'd still be a hella good time.

Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as "IE6," is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.

Funeral services for Internet Explorer Six will be held at 7pm on March 4 at Aten Design Group, 1629 Downing Street, Denver, CO 80218. Those unable to attend the funeral are asked to send flowers.

Aten Design Group Office

Funeral attire is encouraged.

Come mix & mingle with Denver’s top IE6 mourners. We’ll have a special time of remembrance, a round of IE6 darts, and plenty of food & drinks.

The Oatmeal has another winner here - all of us geeks will agree... just email / sms / text / IM - me.

I couldn't agree more - this is a rant by a programmer who is thoroughly sick of it. It's time to get a new system going Microsoft...

If you've got a page you're trying to improve or optimize - there are plenty of extensions you can use right from your browser - well, if you're using Firefox... and possible Chrome.

Sorry IE users - no extensions (or anything else cool ) for you.

While funny - some little bit of the human side of me hopes this was a demo computer and not someones actual laptop.

I'm not at all impressed with buzz after trying it for a week, then again I don't have any time anymore for social networking sites. However I'll make sure to keep it active less they shank me.

People like my lad and I know this is from a MAME emulation that didn't get fully retranslated.

Both he and I have played this. It is this funny.

I am getting more and more impressed with SNL's digital shorts...

and less and less impressed with SNL.

This is cool tho

Here's something to make you feel better for spending all that hard earned cash on the latest and the greatest. Benchmarking a p4 against today's best provides some damn spiffy results.

Yep, it's like looking back to '95 at the Athlon 1 ghz

Genious - Pure Genious - and how he keeps from cracking up is completely beyond me !

Pining away for those times pre-1998 where you had a US-Robotics external 56.6 modem?  Well friends do I have the thing for you. ( Also useful for educating the kids )

This has the possibility of becoming the new Rick Roll - mark my words.

Told ya it was a meme
