    Replied to wrong comment, didn't read my comment, or didn't read the link?

    Judgement clouded at "shoot those little kids" (Boy Scouts) and did not read the link (which was excellent). Sorry about that.

    6 ounces of YooHoo, a jigger of Slivovitza, 1 oz of the juice of one boiled Ayahuasca vine and a cocktail onion over cracked (not crushed) ice is a great summer refresher. Miniature japanese umbrellas decorate the top of the glass to create a festive atmosphere for a party you'll never forget.

    Please explain instead of assuming you are right and we'll all see how right you are if only we were as smart as you.

    My cousin was on crank for a while. One time he was tweaking for about 3 days straight. And about halfway through, his sentences sounded just like that.

    Is that why they call it crank; because words keep turning up like pedals on a bike?

  17. Re:Portability on Linux 3.4 Released · · Score: 2

    Except in the old days Microsoft had a version of NT for DEC Alphas.. so I doubt too much was in x86 Assembly as all that code would have to be completely re-written (well not just re-written in the sense of modifying C code for the new platform, but the whole dang thing).

    I can't remember if they had any other variants than the Alpha versions though.. it's been too long :)

    There were five variants as of NT 4.0 : x86, Alpha, Mips, Sparc, and (I think) PPC.

    DEC Alpha was usually served up with ISA slots, and it could execute x86 code to use those.

  20. Re:Whirring noise on Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead · · Score: 1

    At a press conference held in the drilling facility earlier today, a chief engineer responded to questions by leaning into a microphone and stating "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. We have put in place extra safety procedures, and we have everything well under control." Interestingly, as he completed his sentence, a strange whirring sound could be heard coming from a hallway full of steam pipes leading off from the room where the microphone stands had been placed. A junior engineer returned a few minutes later, sighting no sign of damage, but noting that a tall blue crate with a light on top was sitting by access grate number five, and nobody could remember bringing it in by forklift.

    That was a police box.
