What is Digg?39 Comments
- chrispompa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2really nice!
- Namisar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They did it by converting each frame of the movie into ASCII and then changing the page's dynamic text real quickly. Look at the source for the page, you'll get it.
Awesome, I'd digg it twice. - randtoul, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Do you idiots that keep pointing out 'dupes' think that every reader of Digg has been a visitor since day 1? Give it a ***** rest. Some of us haven't seen this stuff.

well, its ASCII lmao (kidding by saying dupe) - FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^ didnt turn out so well
- twistymcgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone should write a firefox extension that when you look at a digg story it automatically scrolls you down to the 11th comment. That way we can avoid having to read the "dupe" and "not tech news" comments.
By the way, why is it that there has the be so many of these types of comments in a post anyway? If you see someone posted "dupe" what is the sense of you posting another comment saying dupe? Isn't one enough? (actually none is enough...use the friggen problem reporter) - percyhanna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Old-school, it's a letterbox version! ;) Where's the widescreen edition?
I saw this a while ago but it's still cool. - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I for one haven't. So, go dupe your anus.
- Swampthing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think this is actually pretty cool. I remember when ASCII hard was all hand coded and it was very difficult to do this sort of thing...
To the vigilante "Dupe Police" with the thick glasses, Cheeto crumb fingers, and half full Jolt bottles sitting nearby their computer: Put up or STFU! When you see a dupe, put a LINK to the old story to verify your comment. - catoutfit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jesus!
- NyQuil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0tru.dat^
OMG THE MATRIX LETS ALL DIGG IT IRRIGUARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS JUST ON DIGG LIKE LAST WEEK!!111one - DiscoLoke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Hey you know what's a dupe? It's any guy who says "thats a dupe!" Cuz I know they all have eyeglasses bigger than my grandma but don't have the intelligence to match. So dupes waste your time but commenting on what a social idiot you are doesn't. Wow neat. Great story! Digg it 50 times.
- sbasund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, dclowd9901
- Twelve-60, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ooooooold.
- NyQuil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WHAT THE HELL... This has to be the fifteenth time I have seen this crap on digg... It was lame then, it is lame now.
- IceWarm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool, I remember that Star Wars ASCII thing.
- tuartboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^ agreed
insecurity rules on this site. they probably can't get laid. - FlatLine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow, im very impressed. must have took a long long time to put together! awsome!
- loker269, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0only 15 I could swear it was more...
- Swampthing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dorkfantasy... STFU. Nuff said.
- darkprinc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Knopixx does this if you play unsupported divx in terminal mode.
I one got this in a console. It looked pretty cool except the sound didn't match up... It didn't match even with the right codec.
But the effect was really cool. Try it - mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Come on give us more credit than that. We happen to be very selective about our porn. I bet if someone kept posting 70s-early 90s porn everyone would complain. Even you!!!!!!! Nobody likes ***** that's old. If you do, then watch all the 70s granny porn you want and SHUT THE ***** UP.
- moorey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What? There's no sound??? I am for one dissapointed.
- chrisdelta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is about four years old...
- jasonferris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0In so much as there's now an option on digg to label stories as "duplicate story" - why is it still necessary for people to make visible "dupe" comments? If you're so keen to see your comment "up in lights" go and find an original story to post on digg. And SHUT THE F**K UP!
- mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1LOL, We need two diggs, one for the lazy bastards who think everything is new, and one for the up to date people who don't want to be bothered the lazy bastards.
- D4RKfantasy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0For every one of you that complains, I get closer to wanting to choke you in your sleep. SHUT THE ***** UP. If you dont like it, ***** dont read it. Let the other Diggers at least try to enjoy it wothout your *****. I bet none of you ***** wouldnt do this with porn. *****.
- ryanwarren, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I don't like to talk about multiple "stories" but this has literally been on digg dozens of times.
- MEvsYOU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1dupe
old - BiggPa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0so they just used the other story from digg to create any image into ascii, many, many times...
- Smarterdanu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0very old...
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0dupe, and flippin' old while we're at it.
Not to mention that it wasn't news the first time around.
Is there some reason people can't undertand the terms "technology news" and "Digg is NOT del.icio.us"?
