With Digg.com v4, a lot has changed, UI, My News, etc. Well.. now it has turned into Reddit.com
Now why is this happening?
One thing I have noticed is in every submission, there is a member named SixChamber that is spamming the following:
1. Follow Reddit
2. Digg all their submissions
3. Vote this up: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/d77…
4. Observe chaos
So could it be a reddit community action to take over digg.com?
Possibly.
Could it be a revolt by the users of digg to bring back the old digg that we knew and loved?
Hopefully. If it is, as a member of digg since 2004, I fully support this.
Digg has annoucnced on Facebook that they have been having all-staff meeting about the new digg v4 and are making changed based on feedback.
Digg we’re having daily 30 min all-staff meetings to update & discuss v4 status. today we’re improving the top news algo and are working on some other changes based on your feedback that we’ll announce when they’re live.
Hopefully they rework the algorithm back to the old digg’s algorithm.
I am suprised I havn’t found www.fstdt.com (Fundamentalists say the darndest things) sooner. I’ve been browsing it a bit over the last few days, and I have noticed a similar theme to a lot of the things said. Some of the themes I noticed were sex, hatred of other religions, the denial of evolution, the notion of being possessed or attacked by demons or spirits, and the biggest shocker.. pro-rape ideas. Here is my personal top 5 quotes for each topic I have noticed themes about.

Consent doesn’t apply here.
Necrophilia is simply a sexual desire that some find distasteful.
Anyone opposed to it finds themselves on the same ground as those who oppose homosexuality.

Regardless of your own personal opinions, if you engage in acts that cause your husband to ejaculate outside of you, then that is point blank masturbation. It is nothing else. And masturbation is ALWAYS GRAVELY SINFUL. It doesn’t matter if your ovaries are there are not, it doesn’t matter if your uterus is there or not, it doesn’t matter if your husband had a vasectomy. Masturbation is masturbation. Some people don’t like to hear that the Church is making calls on what can or cannot be done in the privacy of their own bedroom, but I for one am quite happy that She is looking out for our souls. It’s one less thing for me to worry and wonder about.

No depth needed– just look around. All these years of pushing condoms and we still have STD’s and HIV. If they really worked there would be no more STD’s.

Catholics should start to go on the offensive, the best way to protect free speech is to demand for the criminalization of all sexual acts outside of marriage, especially sodomy.
Once sodomism and homophilia are criminalized, no one can accuse anyone who opposes homophilia and sodomism of “hate crimes”. And these sickos will no longer be able to force their filth on school children.
Homophilia should be criminalized.

Yes sex at six can cause psychological damage. But thats only in rare occasions. Most girls are fine. Thats a scientific fact.

Cmon, Zeus? He’s a myth. The people who believed in those gods KNEW they were myths. That’s why they are referred to as mythology. Christianity is not referred to as mythology. Roman and Greek gods are. But, they didn’t actually believe those gods existed. They knew it was a myth.

["The Hebrews crossed the 'sea of reeds'. Most Jews agree on this. After all, the first 5 books are theirs."]
The first five books are theirs? Um, no. Moses was a Christian. Sorry.

This is offensive, any who supports a mosque at ground zero is either a terrorist or an apologist. Last year I wrote ‘Soldiers of the Skies’ a novel, my first and the muslims threatened me and came to my house and left ‘gifts’ there is nothing that these animals won’t resort to. We can notlet them have any victory or perception of victory. For muslims to talk about acceptance and tolerance is laughable they are the ultimate in cultural imperialists. Do it our way in the way we tell you or we will kill you. If the Mosque is built I will personally visit it once a month and urinate on it.

All Muslims going to Christian Nations should only be given visas if they convert to Christianity !
That’s a sure fire way of ensuring no terrorists slip through the fingers if security.
May God and his Prophet Jesus Christ save Pakistan from the Islamic Barbarians !

We’re importing Hinduism into America. The whole thought of your karma, of meditation, of the fact that there’s no end of life and there’s this endless wheel of life, this is all Hinduism. Chanting too. Many of those chants are to Hindu Gods — Vishnu, Hare Krishna. The origin of it is all demonic. We can’t let that stuff come into America. We’ve got the best defense, if you will — a good offense.

Evolution is being taught in all our Public Schools, deliberately rejecting and depriving children of the knowledge of God. Children are no longer educated; but rather, indoctrinated in public schools. America is NOT LISTENING TO GOD! We have deliberately rejected the knowledge of God, just as Hosea 4:6 teaches. Americans are wicked more than foolish. Americans are wicked more than ignorant. It is our nation’s love for sin that has caused us to be foolish, ignorant and complacent. First and foremost, Americans are sinful and wicked.
The Old Testament Jews were destroyed for lack of knowledge, knowledge which they openly refused to have. They chose to remain ignorant. They didn’t want to hear the truth. Nothing has changed in thousands of years. People don’t want the truth nowadays. People are willfully ignorant of the truth. Most people reject knowledge.

When I decided to homeschool my six year old son, I told him we were going to do “Dinosaur Week”. Which turned into “Dinosaur Month”. . . at the least! We watched “Walking With Dinosaurs” and a lot of other documentaries. He’s a pretty smart kid, too, so even he ended up saying “Ok. Scientists say that God isn’t real. They say earth is a kajillion years old. They say that people and dinosaurs weren’t alive at the same time and that a lot of dinosaurs could have died from a big flood, but that The Flood didn’t happen. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!”. He gets really upset about people not believing in God – as in he doesn’t want them going to hell and he can’t believe people can ignore God all around us. Every time we watch one of those dinosaur things, he gives a big, overly-dramatic sigh whenever they start talking about “millions of years” or evolution.
One that really cracked him up was where they theorize about reptiles evolving into humanoid creatures. Good grief! And they teach most of this stuff as FACT in schools!!!! I can’t believe it. Neither can a six year old. So WHY is it so accepted?!!?
I teach him what makes SENSE. NOT what science textbooks say. I also teach my kids to question what they are taught – especially what they learn in school. It’s really not fun at all having a bunch of junior scientists in the house when 99% of science seems to be atheistic.

I find it fascinating that whenever a new “dinosaur” is discovered, they never show the actual excavation but only an artistic representation of what scientists “think” the animal may have looked like. Evolution is definitely running on after-burners big time so those in the evolutionary “camp” keep grabbing at whatever they can to keep up the “propaganda”. Remember those old Nation Geographic monkey-to-man diagrams? What a hoot! Evolution is nothing but base thinking and represents scientific retardation, yet it is “true” in the world of “science”. Science is supposed to be observable, but this truly is NOT the case for “science”…. You just make up goofy ideas and throw in a few “million” and your good. The evolutionary fraud is coming down quick. Earth was utterly destroyed a few thousand years ago and “science” just needs to get over it. God’s Word is true from Genesis to Revelation.

The theory of evolution cannot permit any “counterexamples,” or examples of things that could not have evolved. As in logic, the existence of merely one counterexample disproves the truth of the rule.
Here are some counterexamples to evolution:
*beautiful autumn foliage, which lacks any plausible evolutionary explanation
*the whale, which has no plausible ancestor (Charles Darwin suggested black bears)
*the eye, which lacks a plausible pathway for incremental evolution
*bloodclotting, which also lacks a plausible pathway for incremental evolution
*Jellyfish in Hawaii, which swarm to the beaches precisely 9 to 10 days after each full moon
*cicada that appear like clockwork every 13 years for some species, and every 17 years for others
*migratory powers of butterflies and birds

Yup, all demon possession is actually epilepsy. Epilepsy inherently causes people to scream at the top of their lungs and curse God any time His name is mentioned. Epilepsy just hates the name of Jesus, did you know that? It’s in all the medical journals.
Look. If all you’re going to do is parrot whatever you’ve read on your favorite “I h8 Jeebus” site, you can post that garbage in your own gallery or journal. I don’t have time to personally debunk every myth that comes down the pike, especially when the person pushing the myth has no genuine interest in receiving an answer.
When you choose to be sincere, I’ll choose to be sincere

Did you see the spirit that was attacking you? Once, long ago I saw an evil spirit attacking me, and looked nothing like the evil vampire crap you see in movies and tv. He was blue colored and wore a crown.

I remember once, before I was a christian, I was asleep, and woke up, but was kinda half asleep, or something, and I kept telling Satan that he was a b$@$ and f#$# him and stuff, then I kept feeling the bed shake like someone was puching me into the bed hard, the first time I thought it was funny, so I said it again, and it happend again, but I must have not liked it the second time because I didn’t do it anymore, do you think this was a demon attack?

I had a demon spirit attack me in this way where I was frozen. Even my voice didn’t work and I started to rebuke in the name of jesus in my concience mind since my voice wouldn’t work. My voice came back quickly and I started to rebuke it aloud and the thing left quickly.

Leviathon is a spirit I have battled as well. It was a hard battle but was won. It was about four months or more ago. My wife and I were in McDonalds and were having a conversation with an angel and Leviathon had come up. I told the angel that i wanted to fight this demon and he said I could. On the way back to the hotel I asked the angel if he could bring the demon to a predestinated place and he said yes. I figured that since Leviathon was from the depths of the sea he would be used to the cold water so I filled the tub up with scalding hot water and blessed the water. The angels (there were two now) brought Leviathon bound to the tub and fought with me. We all pulled our swords from our hips and began running this demon through with all my strength and everything I had. I would say it took atleast half an hour or more. We were all spent but the battle was won.

I say all that to say that I don’t care about little boys being sexually stimulated by women. It’s not rape. It’s not supported by the dominant power structure, which does support overtly and explicitly the rape of girls and women.

My concern for level of pain of rape would be greater if it weren’t for the fact that most American women deserve to raped because they oppose prostitution as a sexual outlet for men. Since they deserve to raped, I cannot concern myself with the pain rape causes them.

This is simply liberal feminist propaganda. Feminist cannot except the truth that rape is quite simply about filling a biological need. Feminists much prefer this myth which is designed to demonize rapists.

Rape is a complete and total fabrication. It never happens. There’s no such thing as bad sex. There’s bad people, but not bad sex.. I don’t see how pounding someone in the ass when they don’t want to have it can be seen as so horrible, but meanwhile these same people kill babies and leave their husbands on the drop of a dime.

Forcing a wife to have sex is not rape as her body already belongs to her husband.

1337 articles on 4chan have been submitted to Digg.com as of 8/23/10, now all we can do is wait until the 9001st post gets submitted.
Here’s the site that got the 1337 get on digg.
With the recent announcement of Facebook Places by Facebook, many people are wondering what will happen to it’s direct competitor, Foursquare? My initial though was that Facebook Places will phase out Foursquare in a year or so, let’s see if my initial thought holds true after taking a closer look.
Facebook Places is only out right now on the iPhone application, but they do have plan to release it to Blackberries and Android phones as well. I have not seen if there are any ways to use it in a web browser, but if you go to touch.facebook.com you can use Facebook Places in your web browser, except it is in a iPhone style layout which is kind of annoying.
Being able to check-in from a web browser easily is the clear advantage that Foursquare has on Facebook Places at this time, but I do anticipate that Facebook will roll out a browser based version after they take care of updating the software for GPS enabled smart phones.
Another clear difference that the two products have is the map services that they use. Right now, Facebook is using both Bing and Google Maps. In the iPhone application, it will display a Google Map for you, but when you look at a location on facebook, it will show you a Bing static map with no interactivity. Foursquare uses Google Maps across it’s platform and will display a interactive Google Map for you on it’s web page so you can zoom in and out, and also change the type of map it is between Map, Satellite, and Hybrid. One more thing to note, when you update your Foursquare and send an update to Facebook, it does use a static Bing map there as well. If you click the link generated however, it will bring you to a media rich Google Map.

The clear edge that Facebook has is the ability to send out notifications and also tag people int he posts when you create a Places post. However with Foursquare, you have the ability to post your update to Twitter as well as Facebook. You can’t take a Facebook Places post and tweet it at the same time, and I highly doubt you will be able to in the future unless someone creates a third-party application. You might see smart phone users either using both Places and Foursquare to tweet their location as well as update their Facebook Places. After a while that might be too tedious and they might stick with Foursquare which will do both.
Programmers will still be happy with both products, both Facebook and Foursquare have API’s for building applications and potentially integrating the products in a web page or blog. Full access to Facebook Place’s API will be available sometime in the future.
My initial thought was that Facebook Places would phase Foursquare out after a year or so, but I have changed my mind. After looking at both products, I will have to give the edge to Foursquare at this time.

So.. remind me again why there can’t be a Mosque by the World Trade Center Memorial?
It looks like someone didn’t renew their domain or their DNS entry got hijacked. That someone is ESPN. Why is that related you ask? Because www.espn.com does a domain forward to espn.go.com, which is now being sat by http://www.aftermarket.pl/
ESPN better update their DNS soon, because they are losing out on a lot of money
translated:
Update: I have gotten reports of it working for some people, and not others. Could it be a possible DNS poisoning?
