10. Wrong Order

Ever notice in top ten lists nowadays it always starts with number 1? Well real top X lists go in descending order, building up the humor and ending in climax! Going ascending is just backwards, you don't start with your best joke, you start with the worst so you build up and leave off with the best part. The only reason to start at 1 is laziness.

9. Uncreative

You only make a top list if you don't have any decent ideas for a new post.

8. Repetitive

Nobody makes a top list if they have something new to say, just the same old.

7. Repeating

Top Lists always repeat themselves and others, "Top Ten Cats in dresses", "Top Eleven Cats in Skirts", "Top 320 Cats in Women's Clothes"

6. Same old

yawn.

5. Wrong

Ever notice that the people who write the lists are just wrong? They should think like me!

4. Too many Items

Top 44403230952095290 pictures of cats wearing clothes! No. Just No.

3. Useless

More and more of the top lists don't even have anything to do with humor, they are serious posts. How does a bunch of quickly thrown together links to a million batch image processors help me? Just pick one that works well and recommend it if you want to help other people find one. Posting a top ten list does nothing besides make me avoid your site from now on.

2. Mindless

Nowadays people just find a bunch of web templates that match a theme, count them, and throw them in a post. It's amazing, some people nowadays won't even write a comment about them, how is that any better than google?

1. Overdone!

It was funny when it first started, but now that I get one every other time I stumble onto a page, it's just annoying!

So please, just come up with a different form already!

update:  I have found the number 1 top 10 top 10 top 10 list at JumboJoke

Yeah... that's unique.. What was once a good source for technical news and discussion is now... Spike... At least they still have XPlay and AOTS (what was once The Screen Savers before they fired anyone who knew anything and appealed a different part of the average male). And it's not like the technical side is gone completely... right?

4Chan is now the hang-out for hackers? That's news to me. I always thought 4chan was where people went when they wanted child porn, gore, cheap laughs, adolescent insults, overdone MEMES, and the occasional trolling. But I guess I was wrong because if the almighty G4 says it's true, by god it must be true! Nevermind the huge distinction that has been made between white hat and black hat hacking, the difference between hacking and cracking, or who &quote;hackers&quote; grow up to be. Nope, a bunch of script kiddies run an auto-voting program to make Moot the most influential person on a relatively insecure poll and 4chan becomes a hacker haven.

In case you don't know, let me explain to you what a script kiddie is, a script kiddie is a person who in a bid for some attention, finds a program usually made by a black hat hacker and without any care as to how or why it works, uses to excess. These methods while disgusting, are inarguably effective and are all-in-all very easy to do.

So G4, please either learn a few basic lessons or just go die

You all should be able to log in with your old logins, send me an email if not.  However if you joined within the past year (after June 2008) you'll need to remake your account.

The correspondence chess player isn't here for now, until I find an installlation of it or figure how to install it manually.  I plan to put a bunch more stuff in the arcade.

You'll notice the new entries up top, tBlog and WLM.  tBlog is a MMS Blog, i.e. I can post by sending an MMS message.  If there's any interest among the 3 or so people who'll read this within a month, I'll post a public one where anyone can post to it.  There's also a web messenger to connect to WLM

The site looks different, yes?  Well it is.

As such, your old accounts are dust, make new ones

Some of the old features are gone, new ones are being formed

Give me some time to get everything going again, mmkay?

I came accross a basic java programming puzzle, which was really easy, but I made it a little funner by adding an extra element, so the challenge is:

Given 2 int values, return true if either of them is in the range 10..20 inclusive, using 2 or less comparators (==,<,<=,>,>=,!=,?).

See what we come up with in the comments.
