What do you think he's doing here in the first place? As soon he convinces thedailywtf.com forum of the importance of SSDS and the stones, he'll mobilize our Geek Power to convince the U.N. to decriminalize marijuana. After Spectate makes his first billion selling pot-related T-shirts and medicine stone replicas, he'll have plenty of free time to dance away the end of the world in 2012.
Geez, I thought it was pretty obvious, personally.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/25854404@N05/2434503670/Spectate, I think you may have misinterpreted the meaning of "medicine" in "medicine stone". Medicine in this context usually refers to (magical) power, not pot. Pot makes you dumb, not powerful.
A random question - who designed those t-shirts? And how high were they at the time?

Not true. VB.NET is better than VB5. It just no longer supports some bad code practices. You should try starting with bstorer's VB.NET code, adding a few noodles, and jamming it. I'm sure you'll have it working in no time.

Don't go blaming the rest of the world when your obsolete hammer no longer is able to pound in modern screws. Any normal person would just go buy a screwdriver and learn to use it. You, on the other hand, will sit there for weeks on end grinding the threads off the screws to turn them into nails, then complain when they fall apart while pounding on them.

Unfortunately, Spectate (allegedly) doesn't understand metaphors (although he loves weak puns), so he will likely respond with a completely irrelevant anecdote about how SSDS once helped him find his favourite lucky hammer that he left in his shed, buried under mounds of old T-shirts. He will go on to explain that his trapper ancestors didn't need screwdrivers, or screws, to live off the land, and that nobody needs a hammer when you have an hunting knife. And nobody needs a hunting knife when you have an axe. Furthermore, when you have the medicine stones, you don't need an axe, hammer. knife. education, or an ounce of common sense and decency.
-
@CodeSimian said:

Perhaps this is how he created his medicine stones - using them as hammers because the store-bought ones were "too complicated", and the whole rock grinder/quarry business is yet another hallucination/fabrication of his.

Don't forget once he gets to the part of finding his hammer, he'll mention how the numbers in the month/day he was born are the same as MC Hammer's, just mixed around, when you compare the single digits. Spooky. Then an old memory of something completely irrelevant. (Before I saw his post, I was thinking another "pizza party" but the sailing topped that guess)

You can't reply to them, the time/date will be wrong for everyone outside of a given timezone (I tweaked the time on mine so it would look "right" to Swampy.)

How impressive will it be to have a full featured GUI SSDS running on .net. Everybody can grab a copy, customize it, improve it and be free to jam and jam their computers so much the room lights dim. Just like I'm doing with VB5. Sure hope VB5 is around for years to come.

I was actually too disgusted by the beard to notice that it was a fake post - I read it rather quickly, and thought it actually came from Swampy. Nicely done.
I'm also completely shocked that I got a quick and coherent reply to my question about t-shirts earlier. I actually thought the t-shirt artwork was pretty nicely done, and I was perplexed as to how Swampy could possibly have produced anything like that. Fortunately they were someone else's work, and I don't have to deal with Swampy being competent at something.

Yeah, cute animals and all. My obvious reaction was that Swampy quite possibly couldn't have done anything like that. He can't even draw a circle in MSPaint - it's got to be red and it's got to be free-hand and it's got to be around a video artefact or some other weird unexplainable detail. =)

One thing I know for sure. The demise of VB5 isn't a good thing. It's far easier to build desktop search on VB5 than VB.net. Too bad for the newbies
Eh... the way I understood it, the VB.NET port didn't really have any problems with your search portion, just your weird-butt display code. Also, what makes you think newbies want to start with VB5, which is, and has always been, a fully commercial product - compared to VB.NET, which also has a free version? Besides, the market is full of "newbie-friendly" languages; a lot of newbies I've seen have been very thrilled by scripting languages such as Python and Ruby, for example. And let's not forget JavaScript. In short, the market has evolved and Basic isn't the newbie language any more - far from it.

Also, the reply button doesn't even hover the correct cursor in 99% of the fake posts. Only the beard one did (although the Fav/etc buttons had the wrong hover still)- and then the post ID value (shows up in the status bar of the browser) was actually lower than the ID value of the next real post. Even if that was faked at a higher number, it won't be in proper sequence as its not inserting an actual post into the system.
So please, since (A) anyone can post pictures too and (B) there are easier ways to spot faked posts - stop with the photos already!

I don't think I'd make it across the border to the NetSquared $100,000 mashup. On my last US excursion I was turned back 3 times (pre 9/11). They needed some hotshot lawyer to do the deed. Comming back from the border each time was pretty funny. I did get 4 going away suppers.@SpectateSwamp said:
So sad poor poor old SpectateSwamp doesn't get to visit his SF friends. Damn NetSquared cheats.
You do realize if you so much as burped at customs, the drug dogs would drop dead, right?
Did you ever think that maaaybe things wouldnt work against you so much if you... I dunno... weren't constantly high?
Are you sure he feels it worked against him? Every time he was turned away for being high, his munchies were fully satisfied.
TRWTF: Who makes four going away suppers? Wouldn't they figure out he's not going to make it? I guess the prospect of actually getting rid of Swampy was just too appealing to consider the most reasonable outcome.

Then why did you say you were going to SF in the first place?
Mashup Challenge $100,000 prize - WTF if Spectate Swamp wins?
Spectate Swamp is California Dreaming When I get to San Francisco for the Mashup Challenge. I'll look up some of my old haunts. I lived at the foot of Taylor st and Lombard. It was a 11 story appartment building with a pool. I arrived in January of 1979. ...

How impressive will it be to have a full featured GUI SSDS running on .net. Everybody can grab a copy, customize it, improve it and be free to jam and jam their computers so much the room lights dim. Just like I'm doing with VB5.
First of all, bstorer is just doing a direct port of SSDS. That means it will look and behave as close as possible to the original SSDS. So I'm not sure what you are trying to imply by saying "full featured GUI SSDS running on .net". As far as I know, bstorer is not going to add a GUI or add any features.
And why would the MASSES want to customize, improve and jam SSDS? The masses are not geeky programmers, remember? It is your job to create something that people want to use. Stop trying to beg and bully people into doing your work for you!
@SpectateSwamp said:
Sure hope VB5 is around for years to come.
VB5 was discontinued years ago, you mental cripple. So what exactly do you mean when you say "VB5 is around"? Microsoft will not support it, and you'll have a hard time finding it on store shelves. Maybe you'll still be able to find it in the bargain bin at the flea market. Or various nooks and crannies of the internet.
On the other hand, anyone who already has a copy of VB5 can continue to use it, but you can say that about a lot of software, especially when you take emulators into account. So, yeah, if by saying "VB5 is around for years to come" you mean "people can use VB5 for years to come, assuming they'd want to", sure. I could also use my old Commodore 64 if I hadn't given it away to my relatives and if it hadn't been destroyed by their friends. (Damn kids!) Heck, VB5 will probably "be around" after you're gone. Thing is, nobody will want to use it, just like NOBODY WANTS TO USE SSDS. SSDS will be "around" the Internet for years to come, despite the ZERO users, if it makes you feel better.

Don't want it so Bad
VB5 worked great for SSDS and I'll make sure I keep a extra VB copy on other machines. Just in case I want to make a final change or 2. I'm not so sure it would be as easy to create with VB.net I could be wrong. But that would be a first. People whine and whine about the Search being bad and nogood. They are wrong and the source is out there now and will continue for some time. Because it kicks ass. Anybody's ass. Nobody has access to their video and computer data like Me and the Swampies do. With the defaults set. It's tapity tap tap tapity tap in and tapity tap to get out. If it's fast you will use it. If your are fast, you'll blow the rest away. SSDS is fast from startup to shutdown.
-- Anyway do you think those Aliens could be attracted by playing the video back to them. With hi-lites just to let them know the Swampies are watching. They are no longer undetectable to the human eye. That's IT the aliens were here to steal the source code. Sneaky thieving Flyers.

Stop lying, liar. You already admitted you were wrong at least twice:
(About not editing)
Video editing == Cutting crime (don't incriminate yourselves)
Reason #1 for editing video. There are 30,000+ laws in my province. You won't be videoing long before you catch someone, doing something

What the fuck is your problem? Do you think people find this shit amusing? Do you enjoy making people angry? I think you were pissed when a couple of miscreants "hijacked" your username. How does it feel when someone else makes you angry? Maybe people would be nicer to you if you stopped acting like such a jackass all the time.
If only you were capable of showing consideration for others, you soulless bastard.
(If by some chance you are actually being serious, why the fuck would the aliens need to steal your source code? YOU ALREADY OPEN-SOURCED SSDS YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE GIVING AWAY THE SOURCE TO EVERYONE! THE ALIENS CAN JUST GRAB THE SOURCE OFF THE INTERNET.)

I changed my mind. Nobody can be this fucking stupid or delusional. Spectate is truly the world's greatest troll. He has dedicated decades of his life to maintaining this elaborate, pointless practical joke of his.
Okay, Spectate. Joke's over! Ha ha, we get it! You can stop pretending to be a retarded, trollishly insane asshole. We all know you are simply a retarded, insanely trollish asshole. Congratulations, you fooled us all!

I'm trying to convince myself that CodeSimian has somehow perfected the art of fakeposting, but I keep coming to the conclusion that Swampie really is this stupid.
