    It's true. I finish a double major in University, worked in a relevent field the whole time, have excellent references, and now I can't find work... Hire me and I will do this for you.

    Or Dan Bernstein's djbdns, which won't work in an inetd setting -- because DJB doesn't like inetd and forces you to use some halfcocked replacement he invented. Even though inetd is about as standard to unix systems as init and syslogd. But no, DJB has decreed: inetd must go! Let them eat cake! Yeah, I know what you mean. All three of my dedicated-purpose nameservers running djbdns with uptimes measured in years agree with you too.

    I was obviously referring to Turnitin... or did you somehow not catch that?

    Yeah, kind of like that... except that with Google I am allowed free access. So really, the two are completely disimilar.

    You are entirely correct, in my opinion.

    It is precisely because they are profiting off of my hard work that I block them in robots.txt. I also append a request to my works asking that turnitin not be used to index my manuscript.

    I just checked your blog... Thanks for putting up the pictures. Looks like it was a great time.

    I have an appointment for both a gastroscopy and esophageal motility that was less than a 1 month wait. This is in Lethbridge, Ab. Maybe the care is better west.

  12. give it a try on 500-in-1 Electronics Kits? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Surely the manual won't explain the electronics behind it... but if you want to have fun building stuff, then go ahead a try it.

    I had a few of these as a kid, and they were almost certainly not disappointing... It makes me want to buy one right now! ;)

    On thing that bothered me was that the author said he managed to do it in a couple of hours. Unless everyone of his users is a pop3, it would be a nightmare to migrate. Fuck, I run a small email server for scholarly activity that has maybe 30-40 users and I nearly have a heart attack thinking about migrating to G for D.

    "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." - Thomas Watson, 1943

    "640k ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates, 1981

    - Yes, at the time. I know I couldn't afford more that that in 1981. Could you? Secondly, I don't believe he ever said this.

    "Consumers don't even need 10 gigabit, why would they want 100 gigabit?" - Guspaz, 2006
