The Mindset of the Incoming College Freshmen 383

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday August 18, 2009 @10:24PM from the we-have-always-lived-in-the-castle dept.

Beloit College has come out with its annual Mindset List of what the incoming class (of 2013) has always known and has never known. "For these students, ... the Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables. They have never used a card catalog to find a book. ... Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible. ... Rap music has always been mainstream. ... Except for the present incumbent, the President has never inhaled. ... Amateur radio operators have never needed to know Morse code."

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday December 23, 2008 @06:05PM from the flattened-red-gem dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Merb and Rails Core Teams today announced a major merger; the two projects will become one, and be released some time in Q2 of 2009 as Rails 3. This is great news for lots of folks who worried about the potential community fracture, as well as great news for all the developers who will now have an all-around better option for programming Ruby. Read more about the details in Yehuda's blog post, or at the Ruby on Rails blog."

You can find it here: kazaa media shell

Maybe something will be added in future releases, we will see.

Well, I guess this is it. In less than three hours, I am going to kill myself via nonstop, furious masturbation with a plastic bag tied around my head. After autoerotically asphyxiating myself, I plan to die covered in my own spooge from head to toe. I'll probably end up yanking my dick off I'm going to masturbate so hard, but who cares? Hey, if it breaks off, I can fulfill a lifelong dream before I die: sucking my own cock!

I hope all you fellow trolls remember me each time you squat and push out a big, stinky one. Egg troll, Fecal Troll Matter, Vladinator, Trollaxor, Fucky the Troll, Archie Bunker, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, Anonymous Coward, the whole spork crew, and even that rat-bastard page-dilating Klerck: I'll always remember you! (Ever after I'm dead and jizz-covered.)

Michael, may you burn in hell. Timothy, Jamie, join him, please. Jon Katz, keep up the juicy-douching! CmdrTaco, lighten up on the Taco-snotting, it isn't good for you. Homos, CowboiKneel, Roblowme... eh, fuck you. I despise you so much I can't even think of a good insult for you.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm not J'raxis. I don't even play him on TV.

Goodbye, cruel Slashdot!
