      • doshindude, on 05/09/2008, -1/+20with the new upcoming comment system, you can! (just digg him, then bury him, then digg him again!)
      • Indierocka, on 05/09/2008, -4/+2I'll do it for you
    • prophetpimp, on 05/09/2008, -1/+51If any one is wondering whats written in the second message it says
      "Good wishes for this Birthday" in Hindi.

      Its moments like these that make me realise my Nation is made up of nerds. XD
      • sandygmaharaj, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7To be more accurate, it says:
        "Heartiest wishes for (birth) anniversary"
      • noseeme, on 05/09/2008, -11/+3And hundreds of millions of people that live on less than a dollar a day.
        • prophetpimp, on 05/09/2008, -6/+2They still live a more happier lif than most of America who is struggling to pay of their loans

        • card51short, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6they live on less than a dollar a day?
          What human filth! They will never be as good as us Western Gods!
          /s
          • noseeme, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Thanks for putting those delicious words in my mouth.
        • djbon2112, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3I've never understood this "dollar a day" crap. They're obviously living, and who are we to try to compare our living with theirs via our currency?
    • Peepo, on 05/09/2008, -0/+46the candles should be presented in 010101101101...
      • Netrilix, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5Heh, one of my friends did to me one birthday... My candles were in base 7 or some random odd number.
      • Spuy767, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4I doubt he's 1389 years old. I gave my old CS teacher a cake with 00101010 on it about 8 years ago.
        • allywilson, on 05/09/2008, -4/+2Were you sleeping with them or something?
        • card51short, on 05/09/2008, -1/+21you had a counter strike teacher?
          Wow you are a nerd
    • longbow486, on 05/09/2008, -4/+4Damn, my birthday was yesterday, wish I had a cake like this, either that or some PHP would do fine for me
    • pjbrown88, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9You just keep on icing 'till you run out of cake...
    • travitherabbi, on 05/09/2008, -4/+4This was a triumph
      I'm making a note here
      HUGE SUCCESS
    • rpgamer5000, on 05/09/2008, -3/+1why isnt anyone doing some C++ coding haha :D
    • galleryfront, on 05/10/2008, -0/+11.5 thumbs up... Flex developers with 1 year experience are making $100 an hour to port existing business applications to Flex to eliminate the server-side (terminal/node-like) environment of the last 10 years. Most of them are opting to use AMF because XML is too bulky. That said, though, Flex is actionscript with a pretty xml markup. So, yes, I sort of agree with you, but most of me doesn't.

  • MrTito, on 05/09/2008, -11/+59I stared at the first line for a few seconds thinking they misspelled "Binary"...
    • supersheep7, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Ha, I thought it DID say binary and spent a few seconds afterwards wondering what the ***** a binary cake was.
      • coresnake, on 05/09/2008, -3/+2There's three types of binary cakes. Those that are binary, and those that are not.

        ..I feel dirty :(
        • gommle, on 05/09/2008, -1/+12There are eleven kinds of people: Those that understand binary, those who don't, and those who are fed up with that old binary joke.
          • gommle, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I'm surprised over the fact that no grammar nazi's have attacked me yet.
        • simpleid, on 05/09/2008, -2/+1with new generations of people coming to age, the old will be recycled, indefinitely. it's a curse. that's why i laugh at people who call dupes on digg, they have no idea the hell they're in for over the rest of their lives. pretty soon someone will have to dedicate their entire life to calling dupes.
    • sw1ft, on 05/09/2008, -1/+15BINARY? Pfft... you ever dick cake for coke?
      • revanrules, on 05/09/2008, -0/+14Coke? Pfft.. you ever xml dick for cake?
        • demodawid, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12Cake? Pfft... You ever coke xml for dick?
    • jenrzzz1, on 05/09/2008, -2/+1mmm... binary cake.
  • dthmnky05, on 05/09/2008, -34/+2The cake is a lie.
  • Angostura, on 05/09/2008, -4/+115There's some horrible data corruption in the second message section.
    • chronusmcgee, on 05/09/2008, -11/+9Sorry, the corruption is actually in the US government's guest worker program...
    • supermansuper, on 05/09/2008, -1/+27It says: "Salgirah ki hardik subhkamnayen" - 'Happy Birthday' in Hindi...
      • CamperBob, on 05/09/2008, -2/+57Or 'Mass ringwraith attack' in Mordor.
      • BTraina, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12This cake was probably made in india, but was phoned in from america.
      • greeniemeani, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Benny Lava!
    • xlneoMAXlx, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Damn the unicode!
    • NCSUspoon, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Oh come on, the kid is only 13 years old. I am surprised he knows that much.
      • IglooBurner, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5oh u'd be surprised at how much a 13 year old would know these days.. or shall i say in the days of 2002....
        • darlyn, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Totally agree ... I first learned HTML as an 11-year-old in the early 2000s. Now all we have a mindless idiots prancing around as computer geniuses and convincing people that knowing how to check you e-mail and change a MySpace background qualifies as such.
          • antdude, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I knew Apple BASIC and LOGO at that age. :)
    • billbugger, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6should have used cdata

    Happy Birthday!


  • dvsbastard, on 05/09/2008, -11/+50Clever idea - But that cake does NOT look at all appetizing...
    • robotsound, on 05/09/2008, -3/+7you try taking a picture of food and having it look good. thats why there is an elite force of food photographers that get paid huge bucks to take pictures of food for tv and advertising.
      • shortyjacobs, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10an elite force?
        ...Parachuting into the drop zone, AA fire lighting the sky around them, the 7th Airborne division Elite Food Photographer group braves all odds to get that perfect shot of a cheezeburger under fire.....
    • rhkaloge, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7It's cake, ergo, it's appetizing
    • Sawta, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1That's because they're coders, not designers! It's all about functionality...er..taste.
      ;D
    • antdude, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Cake is a lie.
    • strategynode, on 05/17/2008, -0/+0It doesn't temp me at all. Maybe I should just conjure up this cake image the next time I have a craving.
  • TheNinjaJesus, on 05/09/2008, -9/+2Portal cake? Where? *stare*
  • Gregsaw, on 05/09/2008, -4/+68I call the </Cake> piece!
  • TiMMY8765, on 05/09/2008, -1/+35I would have asked for a cake in intel assembly. I get more cake that way
  • inferno10, on 05/09/2008, -11/+3Did anyone else think mistake those candles on the bottom for OS X dock icons?
    • Hefelumpman, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8No, but the green T looks like a penis.
      • WallnutBoy, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Your observation skills astound me.
  • Hangly, on 05/09/2008, -3/+80Would be better with syntax highlighting.
  • chr0nic21, on 05/09/2008, -16/+0Who you callin a dork...your in Digg...arent you?

    • oreo2123, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1no, you'RE on digg. and it says nerd - which is not necessarily a bad thing.

      for the record....

    • BMANZZS, on 05/09/2008, -16/+38Visual Basic?!?!?! Buried.
    • kjcdude, on 05/09/2008, -4/+2autoit ftw
      • PhoenixAvatar2, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Not really. bunch of things wrong with that, especially the msgbox syntax.
      • bluelights, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1wrong
        VB.net will run that no problem (just tried it)
    • mixsense, on 05/09/2008, -1/+86Error: 'Visability' is not a member of Cake.
    • Phatlip012, on 05/09/2008, -2/+114if digg_users comment= psudo code
      print virgin

      Oh *****, what have I just done.

      • allengeer, on 05/09/2008, -5/+6if digg_users comment = misspelled?("psudo code")
        print bury
      • Demener, on 05/09/2008, -4/+1Well first of all you assigned the variable comment of type digg_users to the value psudo code.

        Secondly you commented in pseudo code, so after someone finally fixes your code you'll be printed out as a virgin.
        • acero47, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Hence the "what have I just done" line.
    • Baltoche, on 05/09/2008, -2/+34"=" != "=="
      please
      • manitoba98xp, on 05/09/2008, -0/+19In VB (which is what he wrote it in) you do use a single = for comparison.
      • talonstriker, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5some languages are ***** up...like VB and Ocaml
      • IglooBurner, on 05/09/2008, -2/+1that woulda ***** me (java/js) over so much... haha
        • gommle, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2*****
        • talonstriker, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1It wouldn't be a problem except in C, in which case it'll be a infinite loop. The other languages will probably flag a syntax error.
      • jesuswuzanalien, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Yeah but if he was using the assignment operator he would always get to eat the cake!
    • atgmac, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8if (cake->visibility == true)
      {
      cake->eat();
      }
      else
      {
      std::cout //EDIT: Oh damn, angle brackets
      • accessviolation, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2if (cake->IsVisible())
        {
        me->eat(cake);
        }
        else
        {
        printf("The cake is a lie!");
        }
    • Spuy767, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8Select Case cake.visible{
      case true{
      cake.eat();
      break;
      }
      case false{
      System.out.println("I was told there would be cake. . .")
      break;
      }
      }

      sry, java is rusty as hell.
      • allengeer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4you could just do
        if (cake.visible()) cake.eat();
        else System.out.println("I was told there would be cake. . .");

        or even better
        cake.visible() ? cake.eat() : System.out.println("I was told there would be cake. . .");
      • dazparkour, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2or:
        String output = (cake.isVisible()) ? "Eat the cake" : "There is no cake";
        System.out.println(output);
        Allengeer has strange code, assignment in : ? okay, method calls not so much.
        • allengeer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2oops. I didn't think I could do that.
      • accessviolation, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Using a case statement on a boolean is just awful programming.
    • borichka, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3while(cake.piecesLeft()==true)
      cake.eat();
    • gommle, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7$cake_amount = scan_environment("entity::Cake");
      while(angleToCake > 0) {
      turn();
      }
      while(distanceToCake > 0) {
      walk();
      }
      eat();
      • Vorin, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3favorite yet.
      • accessviolation, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I see a bug in your code. There are two infinite loops because angleToCake and distanceToCake are never altered. Should probably be this:

        $cake_amount = scan_environment("entity::Cake");
        while(angleToCake > 0) {
        angleToCake = turn();
        }
        while(distanceToCake > 0) {
        distanceToCake = walk();
        }
        eat();
        • atcrawford, on 05/09/2008, -1/+0angleToCake and distanceToCake could be global variables. Just depends on if this was written by a contractor or someone that is actually going to have to support the software
        • gmiley, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3angleToCake and distanceToCake could very well be statics or properties which are altered in the methods turn() and walk() respectively.
        • accessviolation, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1@atcrawford & @gmiley

          Of course you're correct; they could be. But I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he doesn't write bad code.
    • SystemError51, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2In Smalltalk:

      cake := birthdayCake.

      cake isVisible: aBool

      • accessviolation, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2True, but really more useful for number types. IMO the best way to check booleans is:

        while (!full) or while (full)
      • PhairOh, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1maybe cake is a cake object and he overloaded the ++ operator
        • dazparkour, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2That is possible, but obscure, making it less than a good idea.

  • mqchen, on 05/09/2008, -2/+6The date is not in a valid XML format.
  • fdiskit, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1Based on the ExportDate, I'd say that's one pretty smart six-month-old. Especially considering XML or Hindi is their second language - that's hard stuff to learn.
  • boomerang42, on 05/09/2008, -9/+4The saddest part is that I can understand all that.
    • isntreal, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7The saddest part is that you think that is somehow exceptional. It's about as high level as you can get.
  • grimward, on 05/09/2008, -5/+3Imagine .. if you will, that this cake has a 50/50 chance of being constructed by a female. Boggles the mind doesn't it?

  • BohicaTwentyTwo, on 05/09/2008, -3/+40The cake was outsourced.
    • Numbski, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Given that it has a hindi localization by default, I would tend to agree. ;)
