Police listened to him brag to his friends about the heist, then triangulated his location. They arrived to find him with the stolen goods still in his hands. The question is, what caused his cell phone to dial 9-11? Does the device come with a conscience?"

The Internet Meme Timeline 235

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday August 08, 2008 @02:47PM from the i-can-has-timeline dept.

CNet pointed out a great use of timeline creation site "Dipity" that has resulted a timeline of internet fads and memes. While there are some subtle inaccuracies and a few notable omissions, it seems to have touched on most of the big stuff. Everything from GOTO being considered harmful to "the website is down," it's a great trip down memory lane if you don't mind a few speedbumps like the goatse guy.

Nope.

Ag = Silver (periodic table symbol)
\bs = troff sequence for "Bell symbol",
as in "Bell telephone trademark symbol"

Actually, I think it should be \(bss.

Or in C/C++: Ag \as
(which is probably what the original poster meant).
