Build Your Own ECG
Jason writes "I finally finished documenting my $4 home made electrocardiograph (heart monitor). If anyone is interested or wants to build one for themselves, please come by and take a look. Makes me wonder why medical care costs so much. :)"
This guy has no freakin chest hair? wtf?
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
I've wanted to ask you this for along time, what the hell is the point of your website? Comedy? Social Commentary? Insane rant ?
Religion is a gateway psychosis. -- Dave Foley
Personally, I think it's all hilarious; I regularly crack myself up reading it, which I suppose is good. But I fully realize how subjective that is, and how really, its appeal is limited to me and, like, six other people on Earth.
Carousel is a lie!
Hello Doc.
...
How do you do? What brings you to see me? : I'm upset about the SCO IP situation.
Are you upset often? : Only when failing companies try to survive be screwing the public.
What happened when failing companies try to survive be screwing the public? : Well, SCO claims that there's proprietary UNIX source in LINUX. So they're suing a bunch of folks for distributing their IP.
Is it because there's proprietary unix source in linux so they're suing a bunch of folks for distributing their ip that you came to me? : Yes. Exactly.
Why do you say yes exactly? : Well, that's why I'm here. I need to get this SCO thing out of my system. I'm pretty pissed about it.
Does it bother you that you are there you need to get this sco thing out of your system you are pretty pissed about it? : It bothers me that I can't talk about it.
When did you first know that you cannot talk about it? : It's tough to talk to people about. Nobody cares. They're all happy being monopolized by SCO's buddies over in Redmond.
Do you get happy often? : I'm a pretty happy guy. Yeah.
Do you enjoy being happy? : Sure. Happy is good.
What makes you happy? : Sex, grass. Fast computers. Open source. Motorcycles. Rush. Zeppelin.
Have you been afraid of sex? : Nope. No inhibitions here.
Earlier you said you felt upset? : Yeah. This SCO thing is really bothering me.
Maybe your plans have something to do with this. : Yes, exactly. We want to deploy Redhat in my company.And now the guys upstairs and the lawyers are afraid of a lawsuit.
What makes you believe you might want to deploy? : That's an interesting question. We like redhat. it has less TCO than Solaris and it's just plain cool.The tools are superior to Solaris' too.
Are you sure that that? : Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
You mentioned that there's proprietary unix source in linux so they're suing a bunch of folks for distributing their ip? : Yes Doc. It's a very bad thing.
Is it because of your life that you are going through all this? : Sure, I chose to be a programmer. I chose to become part of the OSS community. It angers me when I think that all the good work that's been done by so many very generous people might be for nothing thanks to a few greedy hags over in Santa Cruz.
What would happen if you think that all the good work that's been done by so many very generous people might be for nothing thanks to a few
greedy hags over in santa cruz? : I'm really afraid that if SCO has it's way, LINUX might cease to exist.
Do you really think you are frightened by something? : Yes doc. Absolutely. I'm afraid of Osama Bin Laden and SCO.
You seem terrified by osama. : Who isn't? I was at the WTC. I saw the first plane hit. I was right there.
I don't understand. : I was at the WTC. I saw people die.
This is not a healthy way of thinking. : Perhaps not. But it is what it is. I survived.
Is the fact that it is what it is you survived the real reason? : The real reason for what?
What makes you think you are there you need to get this sco thing out of your system you are pretty pissed about it? : Well, it's better than keeping it bottled up inside. Right?
How do you reconcile the people you hang around with? : Good conversation. A couple of beers. Some jokes.
Is it because of problems at school that you say good conversation a couple of beers some jokes? : Nope.
Can you elaborate on that? : Look this conversation is about SCO, not my friends.
Earlier you said you cannot talk about it? : I'm trying to.
Perhaps this has something to do with any hobbies you have? : Yeah. I code for fun. On a LINUX box.
Possibly your sex life are related to this. : It's more like my sex life is affected by this.
Tell me about something about your sexual history. : Well, I can start by talking about your wife. Then there's your sister. Hey, do you know what your daughter really likes?
You mentioned that you were happy? : Yeah.
I would appreciate it if you would continue.
Huh?
I'm switching to base pi, just so I can finally define pi as 1.
