No, the albino penguin is just something coincidental and rare. But while I was there, I saw that a type of penguin is the Gentoo penguin. And it stuck in my head.

Kids running Gentoo delude themselves into thinking that omitting the frame pointer on compiles is going to make a massive difference in terms of performance, and fail to remember it makes bug hunting far more difficult when applications crash.
Gentoo? Crash? No way, dude. It, like, never crashSegmentation fault.
Dear Internet User!
To celebrate the upcoming launch of Longhorn, we are asking bloggers to talk favourably about it in their blogs.

Gentoo is a type of penguin. I found this out when I went to Bristol zoo to see the albino penguin there - which is very rare. I emailed Linus to ask if we should destroy this monstrosity, but he said that it was allowed to be different. So it lived.
I didn't know (until a recent argume... discussion) that dilemma actually meant 2 lemmas, where lemma means "A subsidiary proposition assumed to be valid and used to demonstrate a principal proposition." So with a dilemma, you have two valid propositions.
What's wrong with crond? It runs things at specified times. And because it's been around for ages, it's probably more secure and stable.
If it's not broke....
Apparently, Microsoft are working on a command line only version.
Couple that with storing things in config files, and you start to think about the old saying: Those that don't understand Unix are destined to re-invent it - badly.
Imagine if Apache played dirty like Microsoft do. Imagine if they slowed down/messed up the returned data if the user agent was Internet Explorer. Or changed a few bytes of POST data before processing it.
Apache has huge market share (of webservers). But they're honest. Microsoft has huge market share (of OS and browser), and they stoop to low tactics.
Why not just modify the Greeting banner in Apache to read as if it was IIS.
Yep, I'm sure that's what they want. So suddenly on Netcraft, it looks like IIS is gaining huge numbers at the expense of Apache.

I like the French. They cut through the crap, and they have pretty girls. Like that court ruling that you could pirate stuff, as you'd already paid the "piracy" tax on the blank CDs. Rock on, La France.
This article tries to turn the sow's ear of an overstretched metaphor into the silk purse of a pithy comment, but winds up counting it's chickens in a castle built on sand as the skeletons in the closet come home to roost.
Someone rang me up and asked me to reset their password for them. I did so, and told them, "OK, I've set it to orange99 - log in and change it to whatever you want".
A few minutes later they ring back. "I can't log in - what did you set it to again?" "orange99", I tell them. Tap, tap, tap. "Nope, it doesn't work. How are you spelling orange", they ask. "Like everyone else", I say. "o - r - i - n - j", spelling it out to him.
I'm still not sure to this day if he thinks I can't spell orange.

3. Profit?

Shiiiit. Are you crazy? That'll never happen!

Depends what they say.
Perens, no. He's cool. Stallman has his head screwed on, but rubs people up the wrong way. Raymond - I have no comment.

Hey Judge, grant this for us.
Hmm, no, I'm not sure.
Erm, it's terrorism related.
Oh, shit, well, I guess I'd better.

MSN and Yahoo spider my site. Google doesn't know anything about it. Why? I'm really curious about this.
