well, this is it. After today, RT100 will be nevermore on gawker/gizmodo. First they steal an iphone and drag the guy through the mud. Then Joel calls us all fucktards. Then they want us to accept this awful fucking layout. Now they've got an article about how to cheat online (But disclaimer: don't do it! LOL ROFLMAO!!!!!!).
I'm sick and tired of this drivel, this horse shit reporting. There are plenty of awesome posts, space pictures and lego awesomeness, new 'out there' technology, and cool interviews with people like Dyson, but more and more I have found that gizmodo doesn't cover what I actually want to know. If I want a link aggregator with a 2 sentence synopsis, I'll go to reddit. If I want funny pictures of cats or the latests LOLs from text messages gone awry, again, I'll go to reddit. I'll downvote those awful retarded fake text pictures, but I'll be fine in knowing that that is where they belong.
Hey! Do you want a liveblog of the iPad 2 event? Whoops! Gizmodo stole shit from apple and now they can't go. How about an iPad 2 review? Have you read the fucking first iPad review? holy shit that was bad. Hey! Did you know that Mobile world congress starts on Sunday in Barcelona? Oh-ho! Giz hasn't had a post on that yet! maybe if there's some hipster app to take cool instagram pictures of you looking all wistful with a surfboard they'll write up a story or something.
Good luck with sucking less, giz. I won't be around to see you writhing around on your death knell.

yeah i find it ironic that gizmodo is commenting on a website's ideal design.
don't be sad. be AWESOME #whitenoise
also, I can't promote without replying! fun!
I just sent an email to gawker help and got a reply back that I am request #12521. oh boy :)
and......no. #whitenoise
how about a href?
it was here [nickdenton.org] but it's just giving me 404s #whitenoise
i saw a post from evansei from 2 months ago... #whitenoise
to fleshbot.com/tag/whitenoise !
you rolled it out before you got all the bugs out. erm, okay.
The comment text is TOO BIG! It could easily be bumped down a few sizes. I can only fit about 4 comments on the screen at once. I know you're all about the visual design crap now, as you were before (taking up only 50% of my landscape display with content) but now that you expanded the content by about 100px on both sides, you increased the font size to counteract the space efficiency! ARGH #redesign
same here on all counts #redesign
they had them before on other sites, but they were broken as they tried to link the old site to the new, what with weird links and shit, also you couldn't clear them #whitenoise
I basically typed this up before, but it got eaten by a monster under my bed, and I was way too lazy to type it up again. Thank you for jumping in #whitenoise
I've only been awake for like 18 hours now (not that long - I know...) and the floor is bubbling. Visual hallucinations. Fun!

@drilon the lesser known spider man villain: 4 downs (chances), 10 yards until a new "first down" (renewal of chances) is reached. If they don't make it 10 yards in 4 tries, they either kick the ball away (punt) or go for it if it's very short.
That's the gist of it anyways. There are 4 quarters in the game, along with plenty of penalties.
Scoring works as following: get it across the goal line by throwing or running: 6 points. This is a touchdown. After a touchdown, there are two options for points. You can either kick it into the uprights |__| 10 feet off the ground (for 1 extra point) or you can try the tougher running it in (two point conversion). After the score, the scorers 'kick off' to the opposing team.
If a touchdown cannot be reached, a field goal may be attempted. This is where a kicker tries to kick it through the uprights and it is good for 3 points.
There are also safeties, where the offense team member who is holding the ball is tackled in the own back endzone, and that earns the defense 2 points.
