I think the idea is to track it when it leaves the building

I don't know. The first thing I thought of when I saw the headline was this guy. I used to think it was funny, but these days I'm getting dangerously close to it myself. if I could just tag all the different power-supplies I have in the house it would be a start. It would be great to go to the hard-drive pile and easily pick out the one that actually corresponds to "used to be stuffed in the beige Sempron box I used as a firewall back in 2005".

You're doing it wrong. From http://bash.org/?152037:

#152037 +(3036)- [X]
<dm> I discovered that you'd never get an answer to a problem from Linux Gurus by asking. You have to troll in order for someone to help you with a Linux problem.
<dm> For example, I didn't know how to find files by contents and the man pages were way too confusing. What did I do? I knew from experience that if I just asked, I'd be told to read the man pages even though it was too hard for me.
<dm> Instead, I did what works. Trolling. By stating that Linux sucked because it was so hard to find a file compared to Windows, I got every self-described Linux Guru around the world coming to my aid. They gave me examples after examples of different ways to do it. All this in order to prove to everyone that Linux was better.
* ion has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<dm> brings a tear to my eye... :') so true..
<dm> So if you're starting out Linux, I advise you to use the same method as I did to get help. Start the sentence with "Linux is gay because it can't do XXX like Windows can". You will have PhDs running to tell you how to solve your problems.
<dm> this person must be a kindred spirit of mine

Haha, oh, man, that is the best idea ever. I will so use that. Thank you!

erno: "hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is."

"..why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?"

In the downtime I tried to show the woman the virtues of an IRC channel she could share with family and friends and how much less bullshit she would find there

Right. . . .

Hey, at least it wasn't a javascript tutorial.

<AcidGame> Shit!
<legozrule> What?
<AcidGame> I downloaded an xbox emulator, and when I tried playing a game, it locked up, so I decided to end it.
<legozrule> Then what?
<AcidGame> I accidently clicked 'send error report to microsoft' >_<

Wow, I thought the thing about keeping a 30 Chinese in the basement to memorize numbers was just a joke.

Well, at least you can track it down pretty fast. Just be glad it wasn't something embarrasing, like... oh, say, this.

http://www.bash.org/?178890 You're welcome ;) (did you try to search in the quote number box by any chance? I keep doing that and forgetting that 'search' is actually a link)

http://bash.org/?244321.

It helps to know what the quote was. Searching for "saddle" gets it right away.

"Numbers 22:21 -- And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab."

Hey, how'd you make that inverted i? (oblig bash: http://bash.org/?330261)

Actually, I usually insert an R into that. I'll leave it to you to figure out where.

What is ASCAPR? :P

On a serious note, Khan Academy is wonderful. I only wish the content could be organized in a prerequisite manner across different topics (e.g. basic algebra before calculus, etc.). I guess I'll check the issue tracker, and maybe even send a patch or two :)

We are Americans... Stories about Australia are kinda like watching the show Cops. http://bash.org/?262417

At least MM actually has meaningful (even if the meaning is twisted) lyrics. I tried asking someone the lyrics to some of Ms Gaga's (sorry. only two types of women can be called lady, those with class and those who have a title) songs and they looked embarrassed when they started singing non-sense.

I used to be annoyed with MM that his music was just a wanna-be NIN, but as a good bash quote will point out, would you rather a new band sound like something you enjoy or sound like nickelback?

A SheevaPlug draws 2.3w idle no attached devices, 7.0w running at 100% CPU utilization.

You could literally hide it in your server rack (just don't lose it)

I don't think anyone can confuse Windows XP with Windows ME. :-)

Apparently, some people can confuse Windows ME with themselves.

Yeah, agreed. Lending still doesn't capture the flexibility of it. File sharing is exactly like... file sharing. It's not hard to understand, though even some file sharers don't get it.

I really don't get all the fuss over MPG or Gallons per 100 miles. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned.

I was making the assumption that both hypothetical guys are doing the same mileage over a given time.

It makes all the difference in the world, like you pointed out. I happen to drive a 19-20 MPG car. However, my driving doesn't exceed 150 miles per month (my commute is about 4 miles each way).

I have absolutely no economical reason to go out and buy a hybrid vehicle or a more efficient vehicle, even if gas hits $10 a gallon (my car is paid for and works).

Back to the point of this article. I really don't think there's a problem to begin with. This is 2010, if your math skills aren't up to snuff to be able to compare MPGs when you're shopping for a car, go online and educate yourself.

Finally (if anyone is still reading), this whole thing reminds me of a certain bash quote.

Cheers :)

What, is it now Darwin's fault the US court system will protect Darwin Award candidates? Or in a more classic form....

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

You fool, there is no girl eating a banana. It was all a ruse, a nasty trick designed to play on your insatiable curiosity for the bizarre!

I know because I tried clicking on it :(

Reminds me of this bash.org quote.

Isn't that what happens?

When I try it, I see hunter2

"AFK, tornado."

Which one was it again?
