Dear Kevin Rose, Please Create a Photo Section - Sign The Petition
The last few days I’ve noticed a number of photos getting to the front page of Digg. Some are great photos but I’m not sure they’re really front-page worthy, especially when you go to Flickr Explore and find shots that are really amazing. This is not to take anything away from the photographers, but rather a suggestion on how to improve Digg.

Digg Its Been Almost 3 Months, Can We Get A New Comment System Now?

There's a 20% Chance we're living in the Matrix
Until I talked to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, it never occurred to me that our universe might be somebody else’s hobby. But if you accept his pretty reasonable assumption, the math and the logic are inexorable once you assume that lots of simulations are being run.

The Complete Ownage of a Woman
I'll try to sum up a funny story that happened a few years ago: I got a vasectomy. I met a girl soon afterwards. She was nice and attractive but with a selfish streak that raised a big red flag. She was 32 at the time and I could practically HEAR her biological clock ticking. Regardless, she was a good lay, easy on the eyes, and reasonably g...
Digg This and then replace just ONE bulb with a Compact Fluorescent...
Typical bulb = 100w, a CF bulb that outputs the same amount of light = 23w, a difference of 77w. Multiply that number by total # of US Households (~120 million) & you can see that if every home switched out 1 bulb, then we would save about 9.24 Billion watts of electricity per kw/hour -Enough energy to curb emission levels of nearly 800,000 cars

Fix the Comment System
Ok really digg wtf were you thinking. This commenting system offically sucks. Why would you think it's a good idea to make me click 5+ times just to view all the comments, click an unknown amount of times to view all the replys to a comment, or if a comment is dugg down have to expand it to see comments below it that aren't dugg down.
