  1. Goatse ringtones? on Blue Ring Around Uranus · · Score: 1
    hehehe goatse ringtones. It works on so many levels!

    Anyway, perhaps a tune more relevant to this particular story would be better for a goatse ringtone. How about Crystal Gayle's "Don't it make your brown eyes blue".

    No, NOT fetching a beer is a violation of the second clause of the first law!

    Now, come on. How active can you be if you're NAILED TO A TREE? Do you have to hang there all day tapping your toes and singing "Always look on the bright side of life"? Or maybe scream out "I'm Spartacus!" at any passer-by?

  4. Re: Better than Etheral on Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten · · Score: 1

    Fantastic! I love it.

    Reminds me of a story of the developer whose application had a very simple fixed speed animation in the main window. User complained of poor performance, so he recompiled the app with a faster animation. User then reported massive performance improvement.

  7. Re:Wait a second.. on New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified · · Score: 1
    Perhaps they can.

    From the BBC article in foxcorner's link:

    Paul Clark of the department of zoology at the Natural Histroy Museum said the characteristic strands, known as setae, that cover the crustacean's pincers are similar to those found on Chinese mitten crabs and some other crustacean species.

    "Whether these setae are for growing or cultivating bacteria, I've no idea, but that could be one explanation. But it would also be interesting to find out whether there's anything else living in there," Mr Clark told the BBC News website.

    Researchers have found other small crustaceans taking refuge in the setae of mitten crabs.





    And so, with apologies to Robert Burns...

    Lobsters may have little crabs
    Upon their backs to bite 'em
    And little crabs have littler crabs
    And so, ad infinitum

    That, m'Lord, is what is known as "The Point". It seems you missed it entirely.

    It's a little bit like Wacko Jacko's early albums, "Thriller", "Bad", and "Dangerous". Perhaps he was trying to tell us something?

    There is Cygterm, that allows you to use almost any native Windows terminal emulator to connect to a Cygwin shell instead of the default "DOS" box.
    I know that TeraTerm works well under Cygterm, because I use it myself. And it appears that PuTTY does as well.
