2010 Geek IQ Test
·
· Score: 4, Funny
This is when "normal" people are sitting around drinking and one of them points out a beer bottle is brown cause it blocks sunlight, and the rest of them chide him or her for being a "geek". And then they have a hearty laugh when the newly labeled geek seems to have forgotten their otherwise inevitable pocket protector, because that is a hilarious joke to make about a geek.
That's what a normal person decomposes a geek into. That's the signal they get. The rest is noise. You're so lonely sitting there with your xterm flashing green text. No matter how bright you make your screen session, it will always be a jumble of Hollywood Hacker to the normal guy, sipping his domestic beer.
I encourage you, actual-geek, to hide in the noise that you will never be noticed in. For it is the curtain that masks you from the mundane torture that is experiencing a meal for the four remaining senses (you abused your rights to experience touch) -- a meal for the common man, pre-processed delicious monotony.
Also, for about double the cost of the monitor, you can get a nice vesa mount stand that gives you the entire footprint of your desk back. It was one of those purchases that felt very silly and wasteful, to show off... and then ended up being practical and a great use of the money.
Actually, I'll come back in 4 hours and read the top comments not modded funny. That's why I come here.
They should make a slashdot that's just about linux projects, nasa/physics stuff, and DIY routers. Like slashdot vintage. It'd be classy. Elastic band jeans and plaid tie dress code. God I miss the good old days. *pours mad dog 20/20 on anti-static carpeting*
I did tech support for a regional isp for 7 years. We'd cut them off, and they would call. If we let them run and sent them notices, they would delete them.
When their digital legacy was a 2.30 dollar profit per month, we never felt obligated to reach very far. This might seem shocking to some people, but the customer came second, after our needs.
Once you're infected the rest of the Internet with crap, you're costing them more money in tech support calls from people complaining about you. Why would they pay to keep launching your crap packets into the core? Be your own ISP if that's your agenda. If you take care of your network, you won't run into this.
If you dont go through a 6to4 relay, you don't have any extra latency at all, aside from the fixed time it takes to strip the v6 packet out of a v4 packet.
The announcement you seek may not be framed in time with the boundaries of yours, or any our our lives. It's not a Hollywood theatrical preview with a release date known by studio executives. It's science, and perhaps one day that answer may come, or never. And it may come in an answer you do not desire.
There's no cat that we know of waiting to be released from its proverbial bag.
This past weekend I put a huge steel ninja sword I got for 12 bucks into a campfire we were having, and it glowed red after a short few minutes. I easily bent it into a full U shape.
This simple, moronic drunken act made me feel connected to countless other drunken, moronic ancestors before me, all equally intruigued by how fire is able to temporarily confuse physics. I suppose this is why alchemy makes sense, since some form of math has to work inside of a fire. Still, I felt very enlightened to hold one of the four elements so close to my will and desires.

I accept your apology.
That was the shortest article I've ever seen. I had more information in my 4th grade "Weekly Reader" pamphlets.
The host portion does use the mac. It just pads it with 16 extra bits in a known way. You can use privacy addresses to avoid this.
PinkOS.

Now how about a study that shows people who are too busy to txt are alone, doing whatever the opposite of sex is?
But I expect a refund if the plane blows up. Is that fair?
Tell my mother... that I feel fine.
When Doc is talking to himself in 1955, I am pretty sure he created a pair of docs.
Ok, I'm curious where you are located.

My friend is on facebook all day at work. His corporate firewall is ruthless. It is without ruth. It is a brick wall with no peeping holes.
He doesn't care since he's sitting back in his chair on his droid.
How the heck can IT battle this? (Is it obviously a social issue?)
nothing done properly is stressful.
if you're doing too much, you're doing it wrong. live with doing it wrong, find a boss that isn't bad, or be a better boss.

"Hey slashdot kids. It's 4pm east coast. Here's 10 games you can play, hosted on this site here. See you all at the coffee machine in 180 seconds."
nice! they do! the last time i checked, they routed to telia.net, a year ago.
It would not add to your ping time, since it's measured in milliseconds. Let's say that and call it good enough.

That's one dog gone sad story.
