Where should I start with this site...
Maybe the footer on every page?

Crap. I used 0xD7D7D7 in one of my programs. How soon until the FBI bust down my door and break into my house? :-(

Then there's this one author on there named "elenchos", who wrote many (very) stupid topics, such as this one. I'm honestly not sure if that's supposed to be a joke, like this topic here (which i'm sure everyone can get a few "lulz" out of).
Actually, if I could find the email address or something of "elenchos" and i could say one thing to him, it'd probably be "You're really stupid, did you know that?".
Among other stupid topics is this one, about why AOL is great.
What's this site all about? Just...... er.... idiots sharing their uninformed opinions? Or something much moar...

Did you read past the first paragraph of either?  They are clearly satirical.

[quote]8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone. [/quote]

In the comments (for the aol and programming should be illegal one) it seems like the authors are trying to back up their points... are you sure it's supposed to be satirical?

If I got to respond before rabbit had, I'd of said the same thing. First thing that came to my mind was that it was all a satire. Sometimes it might be hard to tell if it's a satire. Obviously, the person is very intelligent and has a pretty nice vocabulary, thus making you more likely to believe they are real. If you've ever heard of Maddox, you can relate the two authors.

Maddox just writes mainly about his opinions. He is however a satirical writer as well. I guess a few things on their he's serious about (ie. the iPhone), but mostly, it's all satire.

"Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash"." -- some more evidence that it's a satire :). Reminds me of ShelleyTheRepublican (http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/).


PS. I like how they are "the finest family in the USA" and Cindy is prone to telling made up stories all the time.  ::)

Edit; Rofl. I figured I should add this here: http://www.adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html
This is just awesome.

Like I actually checked out the URL to each link you posted? I went to the main site to explore. Stop typing "..." in every sentence you type, it just makes you look like more of a dolt than you already are.

Yeah, the normal person who would actually check out/post in this topic would at least read the links to know what it's about, right? I can't really help saying "...", maybe it's a sign of how fed up with stupidity in general, also it's supposed to tell someone that the sentence is an incomplete thought.

The normal person? I went to the first link you posted. Why the hell would I come back to this thread after already having the adequacy page loaded up? I wouldn't. I've got the page opened on the first link you posted, so I explore the site from there and happen to come across the second link you posted, not knowing that you posted it. There was no reason for me to come back switching between tabs to check out the 2nd link to the same site you posted in this situation.

It seems that you have millions of incomplete thoughts and the only stupidity you should be fed up are your own. And you can help typing "..." all time time, I could understand if there was a certain word or phrase that you said as a force of habit in real life, but this is not the case. This is an internet forum, we're typing words onto a screen, you have every control over what you type.
