- theskunkworks, on 10/10/2007, -8/+81buried. we dont need the latest xkcd comic posted everytime Randall updates
- Bricks, on 10/14/2007, -1/+51One Non-Nerd: "Wow TWO free ipod nanos?!"
- TehSwat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Shopping? Is that one of the things you do "outside"?
- PATSCRU, on 10/14/2007, -2/+34Real nerds would be cross checking prices on that item on their phone browser.
- Rekzai, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25That's why I shop on my lonesome.
- Intrepion, on 10/14/2007, -1/+25What is that you say? Digg should have a webcomic section? I agree!
- qwertylicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24No, you shop on your own as no-one likes you! Zing!
....
Please give me attention. I'm so lonely. :( - jpfree, on 10/14/2007, -0/+21What is this "outside" you speak of?
- jd33, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18My head hurts :(
- onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18YES! THANK YOU! Bookmarks were created for a reason! Use them!
- Narwaffle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13"Outside" is just a passing fad. Give it a few months.
- wharlie, on 10/14/2007, -0/+12I've never heard of outside, do you mean online?
- jayssite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11*raises hand*
- inactive, on 10/14/2007, -0/+8Can't wait for tomorrows geek comic!
/sarcasm - therearenorules, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8incomplete sentence?
- Scynet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's better you don't know. Suffice to say, anyone wandering outside will turn to stone.
- LowROI, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7my guess is approx 577 people and counting.
- Gizza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I'm actually surprised it took this long for this comic to make the front page.
- VEKrueger, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Can we PLEASE stop cluttering up Digg by pushing XKCD comics to the front page? I love the comic as much as the next guy, but we don't need an update for every new comic. The added bandwidth is probably killing him.
- LandStander, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Outside?...but aren't there bears outside?!
- grimfandango, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10who finds this funny?
- Jarasmen, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12I find your lack of original conversation disturbing.
- aaryn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7everytime someone posts an xkcd there are the same comments. If people are digging it it is new to them, why not just keep moving along if you already know about the xkcd site. One more comic on the front page for a few hours isnt gonna kill you people.
- Arcesius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yup... and they're NAKED!
- Vich, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I found it funny, because I can relate to it (I have been in all three situations.) But I am digging this down because I'm sick of people posting xkcd comics when most of us just read them when we're bored anyway.
- joaoalves, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The best part of these comics are the comments that appear when you hover them.
"I am never going out to buy an air conditioner with my sysadmin again." - feshmania, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3yea outside is just another meme...it's right up there with that other meme of girls and sports...
- resplence, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Now if only the colourlovers freaks would wake up to that fact...
- michaelinnotts, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think he meant "Why would geeks and nerds (or, for that matter, any digg user) go shopping together, under any circumstance?"
- drummerman109, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22 nerds shopping in a store and not online? buried as inaccurate
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Value is defined in a number of ways. One of which is how useful it is. Another would be the labour time to create said object (converted into the simplest human labour possible, which is why even if someone can be made quickly but requires skill it's expensive).
It's a difficult subject to get into really. - UncleBadTouch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1buried as unfunny.
- tybris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What is value anyway?
- Gimpishi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Hover your mouse over any of the comics and wait for the tooltip. It usually adds something to the humor of the comic. I just stumbled upon that....
- revenge7, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I thought "gadget" might have mean something like vibrator. Thanks for clearing that up.
- puja1, on 12/18/2008, -0/+0Your article on http://www.uzbekalive.com/ - Handcrafted Jewelry Boxes-has very beautifully defined the various types of http://www.uzbekalive.com/aboutus.html- Decorator Fabric-which is very knowledgeable for me as I have a great interest in the various kinds of http://www.uzbekalive.com/testimonials.html- Upholstery Fabric-Similar to your article is a website named http://www.uzbekalive.com that is offering a variety of hand dyed Online Fabric Store which looks really beautiful. There is a wide variety of Designer Fabric which is really commendable! The colors, designs, Patters of the fabrics are really heart throbbing.
- lalilulelo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If you've been in all three situations that means you're a non-nerd and a nerd. WTF?
- MisterNetHead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If this kind of story submission keeps up, Digg will be a glorified RSS Reader in 2 years. Just you wait.
- Steph8126, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0ha! Sounds like me and my pennypinchin' man! ;) Check out www.couponalbum.com and Digg it!
- ejhops, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Sweet, I love it.
- danomagnum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Taking lessons from miss teen south carolina?
- prOw5000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I love how this comic mirrors my relationship with my non-nerd (or geek) girlfriend. That is exactly how our grocery store adventures go.
This situation is also not just for shopping...It applies to all social situations.
That was good. :) - Daz3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Is that Mandarin?>
- aaalex32, on 03/31/2009, -0/+0Can I get a pair of Chef Shoes here? http://www.culinaryclassics.com/chef-shoes.htm
- davean, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Digg doesn't cause that much traffic, the added bandwidth is not a problem at all.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I'm leaning more towards "Why geeks and nerds (or any digg user for that matter) never under any circumstance go shopping together."
- Trax91, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Did it asplode?
- ylp07, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Where is the funny part?
