  • Phaetonsurge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44Ah that's where you're wrong. There should be a videos subcategory under Stephen Colbert.

    Yes that's right - a whole category dedicated to Stephen Colbert.
  • gosix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24These pointers also work quite well in the corporate world. I am the expert in this area, not you! How dare you challenge me you pathetic being!

  • subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13That's perfect for me. I make things up all the time! For instance, I'm making this up right now.

  • haooken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9No, I will not pay to cross your bridge, troll.
  • TheWestExit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9zeitgeist - the taste and outlook characteristic of a period or generation
    bildungsroman - comming of age book
    doppelgänger - a ghostly double of a living person

    Now you can speak from your balls like Colbert.
  • computerdude33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Paradigm.

    I feel like a Poser already!!
  • joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That is, if you can pronounce the first two.
  • cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I just looked up the cover to the upcoming Wired Magazine and Stephen is the cover boy.

    Looks like he's 'hacking' his iPod...
  • hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Clearly your CMOS's zeitgeist is out of date.
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Whoa.. wait a minute.. Stephen Colbert is writing for Wired now??

    Someone please clue me in..
  • dallen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2on Youtube I have two categories in my favorites list: Misc and Stephen Colbert.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2AlexApetrei, Colbert is the king of irony. The article is showing the stupidity of the things it's listing, in a humorous way.
  • Chewy_95118, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Umm its true, I do that at work all the time, or in school. Debate is a great class, you use all of those to win, and you lie and make ***** up and its all part of the debate, Cobert is on the money
  • floejoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1someone has some sand in their vagina...
  • BadassCheese, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Colbert=God
  • cody50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Maybe just a whole satire category?
  • jtmacnaught, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love WIRED magazine! This article is printed on page 4 of the How-To PullOut. And sure enough, Stephens face is on the cover! Great article Stephen!
  • corkster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1He looks like Robin Williams from Bicentennial Man in that photo - very robot, quite hypnotic.
  • diggalbin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Colbert > lol
  • YourTechSupport, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Mmmmm. Zeitgeist.
  • crweaks23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll be there on Aug 15, just got my confirmation email yesterday
  • n8dawg87, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1@Phaetonsurge: Perhaps one of the most brilliant comments of all time on digg. Genius.

    Oh and I thought the article kind of lacked. Colbert has such a presence on screen that that is very difficult to transfer into writing.
  • Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2No, not just one category. TWO categories devoted to Colbert.

    I'm not certain what you can do with two categories, though
  • gl00pp, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1im watching colbert right now.
  • AlexApetrei, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1that aint no way to be an expert, that's just a way to be a jackass.

    especially that namedroping, i ***** hate people that do that .

    It's funny when people tell me about web design when they have no idea on how to open an e-mail, the pick up some acronims here and there, hear about google and SEO and start preatching at me. I hate it when people pretend to be experts, seriously shut the hell up if you dont know what the hell you are on about.
