What is Digg?77 Comments
- jono1, on 10/12/2007, -9/+75I finally get the concept of making something funny! Mention pussy, instant hilarity! How have I missed this all these years?
- SickFinga, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48I think comments for Windows 2000 Source Code are funnier.
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/2/15/71552/7795 - iamhrh, on 10/12/2007, -8/+44I fail to understand how putting ridiculous comments in code == social life
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+50This is just the work of a six year old who just learnt some new words... seriously all who digg hang their head in shame.
Buried as lame - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+38some naughty words and random commentary
kinda funny, but not two exclamation points worth - Desolite, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22i guess this is why we never see computer programmers doing stand up.
seroiusly, who dugg this? - rsdouglas, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20Agreed. Mildly amusing would be a bit of a stretch...
Sure as hell not hilarious, buried as lame. - simpleid, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17You can usually get a feel about how intelligent an individual is by the clever wit in their humor, this is just stupid. Who ever wrote these comments in that kernal was a moron, simply put.
It's not even 'kind of funny,' and if you're the kind of personality that laughs their ass off when they hear the word "butt" then holy *****, I won't even finish.
No offense. - serpentskiss, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16yes, absolutely ***** hilarious /sarcasm. the first bit, about - gasp - dick penetrating pussy. Oh how I laughed. To be fair, he must be a pretty clever 10 year old to program a kernel.
What's that? He's not 10? THEN STOP ACTING LIKE A ***** CHILD. - webcrumb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16You see, in Perl the designers were funny to begin with. Instead of having a comment saying fck off, you simply say
else die
"I will call it "inline humour"."
I prefer block-level humour. More akin to a stand-up routine than a one-liner. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14"whoever thought kernel hackers do not have a social life was wrong!"
No they ***** weren't. - Detritus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16I thought the rant on Cisco was noteworthy, perhaps thought provoking towards the comedic , but all that other garbage was just random and "naughty" words. So Linux coders are immature... big ***** surprise.
- bede, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Wow, their lives must be one long mad social whirl.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I don't mean any offense to anyone, but those kind of jokes are adolescent at best and do actually indicate the need of a social life. Again, no offense to anyone. I am a geek myself.
- mizuhri, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8HAHAHAHA OMG ROFL LMAO BBQ! That is so funny. There is cuss words mixed in with coding! How do these people think this stuff up. Hilarious. You guys should check out Ubuntu Gone Wild. Now that's some crazy coding.
Idiots. - Dfects, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@Nitro
If you rtfa properly, you'd see he's polish, so you'd expect some spelling mistakes. - EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10"Whoever thought kernel hackers are just nerds who do not have fun was completely wrong"
Ummm.... actually that just solidifies the point that they are nerds. There's some commented code about a prick and a pussy. That's not *actually* funny, just kernal-hax0r funny, which won't go far in getting you laid.
...I'm just saying. - ContinuumXLS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah, I didn't think it was that funny either... I'm getting sick of people using the words "Hilarious" and "Amazing" to describe everything..
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -15/+19Haha! penis.
- Shakermaker, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9So, that's what passes for "funny"?
You guys need to get a life... - jenoosia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"/* 2,191 lines of complete and utter ***** coming up... */"
I'd be complete and utter ***** after coming up with 2191 lines of code... - mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5The comment was not necessarily of the coder who wrote those 2191 lines.
- DiggedDugged, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5agreed.
not only is this not "hilarious!!", its not even good coding. i feel bad for the sucker who has to try to debug an issue involving the f@#$ me routine because the pointer to my p2#@sy is accessing some memory space it shouldn't be.
lame.
or maybe I need to be 13 to find this "hilarious!!". - SenorPez, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Linux == Front Page Digg
Comments Made In Source Code != Funny
And if this is proof of a social life, I've vastly underestimated my social standing. I wonder if these guys go to a bar and say, "Hey, you'll never guess what I put in the kernel source code today..." - iamausername, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4there are very few things in life that actually deserve multiple exclamation points imho
they are generally reserved for teenage girls using instant messaging, and leet computer gamers!!!11
in fact, I think it detracts the affect having multiple. - Pushkin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5For truly interesting reads of code, try this instead
http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=abandon+all+hope - zombo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4where? childhood?
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If anyone wants truly hilarious code, as in, code that will make you say "what the *****?!", go to http://thedailywtf.com/Default.aspx It's the code itself, not stupid comments.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"kernel"
- somerandomnerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Isn't there some sort of "hacker rule" that if you call yourself a hacker, you're not a hacker- just a script kiddie?
- zagi1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This goes hand in hand with amount of swear words in linux kernel: http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/
- DrLex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Polish comment at the end of the code means:
"This code is intended to be read by CPU, not by humans"
"Try to not hit/smash anyone.." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lysol@obelisk:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17$ grep ***** drivers/char/rio/rioctrl.c
/* It's hardware like this that really gets on my *****. */ - halik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That was creepy and weird more than anything else.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1if anything this proves that they have NO social life, not that they have one
- loof, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2~vomit~
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"So Linux coders are immature... "
Ever seen bombastic super technical comments in the kernel source? I can bet there are 200x more of those than the "hilarious" ones listed in this article. Now if you know what conclusion to make ... - anagami, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1This nonsense makes me want to try *BSD.
- Nitro187, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I dont' see the funny factor in this... all I see is a bunch of filthy words, with bad spelling. Check this out:
"IOC3 is ***** ***** beyond believe ..."
believe?? I'm sure they meant "belief". I thought these guys were geeks? I'm a programmer myself, and I passed english, thank you very much. - strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yes
- Pushkin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+8!funny
- sinner6, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wow, in one article I lost virtually all of my respect for linux and its coders. What MS had been trying to do for years the linux coders had done in about 12 seconds.
- sinner6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1First and formost I do live with Xenu.
Do lawyers write down cuss words in the margins of the brief and then give the judge the version with the swearing left in? No because that would be to embarrasing for a lawyer to live down.
Kernel hackers on the other hand think they should do it because they when they do get caught people say it is "AWSUME HILIARTY TO THE LEET MAX" - somerandomnerd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Someone should tell "Truehacker!"
- egfrith, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Interestingly the spca5xx module (the first one mentioned in this simply side-splitting article) is one of the few pieces (if not only piece) of open source code that has completely crashed my machine. Could there be a correlation between code and humour quality?
- cryonox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3not exactly linux kernel stuff...but if you are patient u might get to see some amusing code
http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=*****&btnG=Search - lordTalus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2For everyone bitching about this being unprofessional...sit in front of a computer debugging kernel code for hours on end and see how professional you become. Identifiers like '*****' and 'pussy' creep into code after hours of tracing pointer arithmetic.
- minorthreat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2OMG F'N HILARIOUS!!!
no not really, it just some coders wanting to give nerdy pimple ridden teenages hard-ons when they finally decide to look at the source code - AeonLan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hmmm... Sometimes programmers experiencing pressure poor their anger on poor source codes. This is one...
