This post is supposed to be uncool, for effect--really!
Dr. Roger Spain: Wow, I thought you'd be the last person to have a problem with nonconformity.
Dr. Gregory House: Nonconformity; right... I can't remember the last time saw a twenty something kid with a tattoo of an Asian letter on his wrist. You are one wicked free thinker! You want to be a rebel; stop being cool. Wear a pocket protector like he does, and get a hair cut. Like the Asian kids that don't leave the library for a twenty hours stretch. They're the ones that don't care... [more]

Israeli paper publishes Obama's stolen Western Wall prayer
I love Obama, and i still think this was made to happen. Reverend Jackson was made to happen. And others i must have missed. Its all good if his later actions reflect his words. However the FISA vote showed us the maximum size limit of his balls. He won't fix the fundamental issues and you people will still have to revolt by yourselves.
There's Obama for you.

Password Chart
Please remember not to use passwords generated by others on anything you care about. The people behind this get a juicy list of passwords and matching IP addresses. If you need passwords, get an open source password generator and run it locally.

Still rambling about the poster's link, even if the website makers do not get to see the passwords this generates, they get an IP list of people who have used a weak algorithm to generate passwords they may consider secure. There is little difference between knowing your password and having a list of 1 million passwords with yours in it.

One-woman crime spree
Actually europeans don't need a passport to cross internal borders. Most borders have no control, you're just driving and suddenly there may be a sign on the road that says "welcome to $country". If asked by the police, all you need is your national ID.

Universe Sandbox
If you have it crashing every time like i did, use this installer that i found on their FAQ.
Beware that it is a ONE HOUR trial version. Which probably means this gets boring too soon to even have a one day trial. It doesn't seem boring to me, but the developer sure has low confidence on it.

The relationship is with the computer. It becomes a significant other to them.

three blind mice: Here's a simple scientific test Dr Block: unplug the Ethernet cable and see how long your test subjects interact with "the computer."
It is common on the Internet that when we discuss some scientific study, some people will point out immediate obvious flaws that naturally the researchers thought of and accounted for.

Suspension de l’abonnement internet
Actually this will be an interesting lesson for the government. There is no way they can win the technical battle. Even if Dieu itself were to point out who downloads what they shouldn't, it is trivial to jam the system in false positives. And all they need to do is piss someone off that can program.
False positives and enforcement will be funny to see from outside.

A people too scared to vote.
The question of how many of your men to sacrifice for a cause is much harder to answer than the question of what one is personally willing to sacrifice.
I hope i am wrong, but this "world united" is bullshit. Nobody will do anything. Even the americans are probably not interested in a new war, and not in this war. With the delay(?) of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU will not take a strong position either, and in the end, Robert Mugabe for all his failings knows the... [more]

I can accept that Fox is bound to advertiser realities and deals in ways that i do not understand. But the end result, which i do understand, is like a football team that gets sponsored on the condition of scoring only own-goals, and accepts it!

Life in a retirement home
In my opinion, old people (by virtue of being old) have understood that most obstacles in a relationship are self-imposed, and that time is of the essence. This is what they mean when they say youth is wasted on the young.

Three blind mice, your proposal of submission reminds me of that post about homosexual couples having to watch what they do in public constantly. It is what it is, but it is not acceptable.

I have a bit too much respect for the rights of homosexuals to compare (let alone equate) my filthy desire to get stoned with their quest for basic civil rights.
My friend, your desire to experience pleasure with your body and mind is not filthy. It is a tribute to our oppression that you even say (think?) so. Notice that there is also no shortage of people that would consider homosexuals "filthy".
This is not by... [more]

Computer languages and facial hair
On the other hand, I've seen a recent article that hints that facial hair increases during times of economic stress, with the theory that a mustache conceals a trembling lip and helps hide signs of fear. It would explain facial hair among cops, the military, and elite closers in baseball.
Doesn't really explain facial hair in programming though.
Perl.

The future of Ubuntu Art
I, for one, consider that shittalking a project that is enjoyed by others and asks _nothing_ of you really brings to light the kind of person you are.
This could have gone a bit better, but everyone that actually uses Linux fled this thread long ago.

But should we hold someone in contempt for lying and wanting to get ahead?

grandsham has it right. All of you folks planning on installing the Original TA (between hard and impossible on modern stuff) would better redirect your efforts to the Spring Project.

Take the most useful and interesting ones into packs. Those packs become mods. The mods pass on to different maintainers... [more]
