Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do?
jfruhlinger writes "If you use a Unix machine, it probably has a funny name. And if you work in an environment where there are multiple Unix machines, they probably have funny names that are variations on a theme. No, you're not the only one! This article explores the phenomenon, showing that even the CIA uses a whimsical server naming scheme." What are some of your best (worst?) naming schemes?
Regarding the "honorable" Sen. Daschle:
"Nobody's perfect," said press secretary Robert Gibbs. "It was a serious mistake. ..."
Geez, can you imagine the insane shrieking from the Left if George W. Bush had failed to pay even a single dollar of his taxes? What are you deranged losers going to do with yourselves now that you can no longer blame George W. Bush for your shitty lives?
Funny...most doctors call circumcision a health related choice not genital mutilation or religious freedom. But hey, don't let the piles of medical evidince cloud your reality. The pain and risk of complications arising from circumcision go up with age as well. Circumcision is not even remotely in the same ballpark of cutting off the clitoris or sewing the vagina shut and regardless of your choice for or against it you should feel ashamed for even putting the two in the same category of things.
Some pain as a baby that you don't remember in exchange for a lifetime of reduced risk of infection and reduced chance of losing the whole damned thing to cancer later in life? Seems a pretty fair trade to me.
The only change I can believe in is what I find in my couch cushions.
Slap a condom on and circumcised or not your risk is down to the 10's of millions to 1. I am not circumcised and I would not want any offspring to be, I think if anyone wants there son chopped then they should be made to hold the baby still while it is begin done.

Evidence suggests that there is no significant reduction in sensation. Then we also have things like this. American Cancer Society Article as one of many medical related articles. None of the dissenting medical opinions even float the insane notion that it is genital mutilation and child abuse as many slashdotters seem to indicate. At most they say it shouldn't be done unless medically necessary. You know...for those times when that forskin causes erections to be painful and pretty much reduces sexual pleasure to a painful experience...

The most sensitive nerve cluster in the male body is at the base of the foreskin - and you don't have it.
Really? Ever had it? Ever had sex with it?
How about the frenum. All you guys jump up and down about that being the most sensitive part of my penis.
Neither one is sensitive. They're just *there*, in the way of the head and the shaft.
Well, I had 'em both cut off - the frenum, the mucosal end - and the only thing I regret about the whole thing is that it wasn't done at birth.
Your crappy sex life has to do with whatever whacked-out psychology you have. Blaming circumcision for your erectile dysfunction or your premature ejaculation is pure idiocy.
I wish I'd been circumcised at birth in your place, so I could have enjoyed its benefits all my life, and you could come to terms with whatever your failing is.
Fire and Meat. Yummy.
