- nepidae, on 07/18/2009, -4/+177That was cool except without javascript half the comic was covered with some ***** text. WHY THE ***** DO YOU NEED JS TO DISPLAY A COMIC?!
- sciencelovesyou, on 07/18/2009, -0/+126I'm a scientist, and I get ***** like this ALL THE TIME from people.
"Hey, what do you think about that thing with how robots are like... real?"
REAL. *****. QUOTE. - Spire3660, on 07/18/2009, -3/+127***** Wired. I clicked on the link and couldnt see the article because they decided it would be cool to put a pop up ad right over the top of the article.
- yocouchdigga, on 07/18/2009, -0/+94I'm (not technically) a scientist and I get ***** like that all the time.
"So how about that thing they're building in the alps? it like, smashes atoms and could blow up the world? I just think that there are some things, that... we just, like, shouldn't ***** around with! You know!?" - an idiot trying to tell me about the LHC and how we like, shouldn't ***** around with stuff, ya know. Serious ***** business. - dawnraid101, on 07/18/2009, -5/+74Im no Sherlock, but I do believe they are taking a ***** on New Scientist.
- Thrash16, on 07/17/2009, -5/+63Vague Scientist would be a good name for a band.
- pandaro, on 07/18/2009, -0/+41<takes away apostrophe license>
- MokaPot, on 07/18/2009, -1/+40Army cats are so badass.
- Spire3660, on 07/18/2009, -1/+33THe link hat was submitted wasnt so kind. THe formatting was all jacked in FF, and IE8 refused to render it.
- atgmac, on 07/18/2009, -3/+32It takes literally 1 second to view an image in a new tab
http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/beyond_the_beyon ... - John6000, on 07/18/2009, -0/+28yep.
- Onji, on 07/18/2009, -1/+28How the ***** is it that so many people here have problems viewing the image just because it got covered by some of Wired's ads?
RIGHT CLICK > VIEW IMAGE.
That hard? - popzero, on 07/18/2009, -3/+30This reminds me of a cartoon I saw on the internet that was mildly amusing. I think it was about something or other. You remember that one? Oh, man did I chuckle internally after reading it!
- raggles, on 07/18/2009, -0/+27Pretty much any adjective followed by a plural noun is a good name for a band.
- danfrnz, on 07/18/2009, -0/+25you'd think a website called "wired.com" would be able to find a half-decent web designer, but what do I know.
- kamikaze134, on 07/17/2009, -3/+27I should be awarded a PhD in Vague Science.
- atgmac, on 07/18/2009, -0/+24Twinkie? Who comes up with their treat names?
- ai52487963, on 07/18/2009, -1/+21It seems to me they're ripping on all popular science magazines. So I guess you're not cool according to Wired Magazine unless you either read Nature, the Astrophysical Journal or arXiv.
- sageerrant, on 07/18/2009, -2/+21Didn't work right in Opera, either... so I right-clicked and opened the image on its own, because I'm not helpless.
- 68024, on 07/18/2009, -0/+19Seems to me they're taking a shot at the readers, not the magazines.
- NervousEnergy, on 07/18/2009, -0/+17This is a parody of the British popular science magazine New Scientist. And it really is like that.
- QubitTarutaru, on 07/18/2009, -0/+17I wish Physics was a mandatory course for everyone.
- Tanktunker, on 07/18/2009, -0/+15***** band-name would be a pretty ***** band name.
- skipvt, on 07/18/2009, -0/+14I'm not a scientist, but I play one on TV, and I'm absolutely sure that the government is using the profits it made off of faking the moon project to develop self-repairing super robots they can put their brains into and take over the world.
- Craig304958, on 07/18/2009, -0/+13New Scientist may be the source of the name. But the satire is of how pop science filters down to the pub level. Geez.
- dixhuit, on 07/18/2009, -0/+13Vague grasp on basic web page layout principles.
- inactive, on 07/18/2009, -2/+15Firefox is displaying ad's over the picture.
<puts on flame suit> - wolfkeeper, on 07/18/2009, -0/+12I want a professorship.
Professor of Vague Science!
Oh wait, I just realised, that's just a journalist!
Never mind then. - ProjectGSX, on 07/18/2009, -1/+13Direct image link for the javascript fail team:
http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/beyond_the_beyon ... - Locke23, on 07/18/2009, -0/+12FAGS = Cigarettes.
Dumbass - munikho, on 07/19/2009, -0/+10Dude, seriously. Check first, then blame. It has nothing to do with Javascript, it's simply their HTML. And i think we kinda need that to at least display the website.
- ivantalboys, on 07/18/2009, -0/+10Terrorists won't be injecting tint robots into my bum.
- Claverhouse, on 07/18/2009, -0/+9To be fair, it depends on the *****.
- TWallaceWD, on 07/18/2009, -0/+9Wired.com must have been built for IE6. Sad what one ***** browser can do to the Internet.
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 07/18/2009, -0/+8Slippery Balls
Hey, you're right! - SenoraObscura, on 07/18/2009, -1/+9I want a jammie dodger.
- Nikobelia, on 07/18/2009, -1/+9You do realise 'fags' is slang for cigarettes in Britain, right?
(And, yes, it has occured to us that you could make jokes about sucking on cylindrical things.) - BobTheTaco, on 07/18/2009, -3/+10Fags are another name for cigarettes??
- Toshibi, on 07/18/2009, -1/+7I used to attempt to inform those around me about the interesting things in science but I was met with so many glassed over looks of sheer stupidity I gave up. Now conversation usually tends toward "Man, look at those *****!" with the deepest conversation going something like "So, you think that aliens are possible but are doubtful about the whole God thing?"
- jiesa, on 07/18/2009, -0/+6No, it's a pack of disposable dildoes in a box.
Don't they have those in your country? - ProjectGSX, on 07/18/2009, -1/+7right-click: view image
- Mawds, on 07/18/2009, -0/+6Oh yeah about the thing and then there was that other thing.
I remember that. - gutistg, on 07/18/2009, -0/+6Why did you put it back in there?
- Craig304958, on 07/18/2009, -0/+6You mean, projected from the edge of that OTHER universe, don't you?
- flossdaily, on 07/18/2009, -0/+5Chrome is as well.
This is some poor web design. - piieerrrree, on 07/18/2009, -0/+5@Spire3660: I lolled
- MeiMeiX, on 07/18/2009, -0/+5Wired critcism applies to themselves too
- Kajaah117, on 07/19/2009, -0/+5Prophet? Haha, get it?... because I knew.... what was...next... it's hot up here.
- publiczenemi, on 07/19/2009, -0/+5This magazine was made for my boyfriend
- Duffy27, on 07/18/2009, -1/+6i am a british smoker so im pretty sure i have called cigarettes fags. in fact i love fags, i love putting fags in my mouth and drawing the faggy goodness from them, to be honest i might go and have a fag right now in my back garden.
just I read that and see that they're back-handedly calling scientists fags. -
