PV = nRT because I had the hands down best looking gal on campus for a chemistry lab partner. She'd wear these short little running shorts and half-tops...amazing I learned anything at all. And she had the brains to rival the looks.
To this day if I get a whiff of that perfume she used to wear I can't help thinking about mass balance equations.
That we'll be invading Brazil next. They have a delivery vehicle and the ability to manufacture weapons of mass destruction and the US is within range of their missile.
Hey, they're a bigger threat than Iraq was before the invasion and it's not as far to drive. Plus the scenery is better. We should've invaded those pesky Canadians first, they could deliver WMD's into the states in their sneaky submarine. Then go after Brazil second. Secure this part of the world before we start dorking around on the other side of the planet.
Why not? We can invent an imminent threat from any country we want, why settle for the dirty, crapass countries half-way around the world? The facts have no bearing on this administration, so let's invade the countries with the best looking women first.
Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck

Flying By Brain

· Score: 5, Funny
This is your captain, Rat Brain 4023, integrated neural network and my first officer, Rat Brain 4024. We'll be flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet and are expecting a nice smooth ride-- HOLY SHIT CHEESE!!! LOOK OVER THERE IT'S CHEESE!!! Ooop, sorry about that, false alarm. We're expecting nice weather in HEY THERE"s A F*ING CAT IN THE CARGO HOLD!!! Eject! Eject! Eject!
Regardless of your opinions of those groups, you have to agree that no conservative foundation would ever be likely to donate money to them.
You're wrong about that. You're confusing conservatives with neocons which is what you are.
A real conservative believes in fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets, believes that the truth will set you free, and that intelligence thrives in the midst of discussion and dissent. I could very easily see a conservative institution giving grants to those organizations out of fairness and to encourage alternate points of view. A true conservative would not seek to perpetuate their own beliefs by funneling money only to organziations that printed what they wanted to hear. That is the Bush administration way of doing business, and I'd argue they are an affront to true conservatives.
It's the necons who want to silence oppostion in America, not conservatives. I think it just shows how little you know about what being conservative really means.
If this is news to you, welcome back from Mars. Anyone ever spending time talking to Bush supporters knows that the bulk of them are not exactly the sharpest knives in the intelligence drawer. It comes as no surprise that they are kidding themselves about factual events in order to justify continued support of Bush. And not just defensive, but angrily defensive. I think their dead relatives could come back to life to give them a clue and they still wouldn't listen.
What's really frightening is that our collective national intelligence may have sunk to the level that we actually deserve a leader like George Bush. Look at Utah, they keep putting Orin Hatch back in office. What does that say about them?
The lengths the right will go to win, the unflinching conviction of their own rightness in any position they're trying to justify should scare the hell out of anyone with a brain.
Nothing new there. IBM has a right at this point to call bullshit on SCO's stalling tactics. Two years we've been through the mud without one credible piece of evidence from SCO. I don't blame IBM for digging in and calling a halt to this nonsense.
I'd put Maureen O'Gara in the same class of writers as Laura Didio, Ann Coulter and everyone's favorite children's book author Bill O'Reilly.
If there's any good news SCO stock hit pre-lawsuit levels on Friday. Probably Baystar taking a dumpster on their buy out shares.
Here's another one. Ballmer talking about security:
"We're more secure than the other guys," he said. "There are more vulnerabilities in Linux; it takes longer for Linux developers to fix security problems. It's a good decision to go with Windows."
It's absolutely amazing that the head of one the biggest corporations can publcily say something so totally and utterly stupid.
He lives in an insular world full of people sharing his opinions. Certainly none of the rank and file are going to tell him his ideas are stupid. It's hard to see the world in practical terms when people are kissing your ass all day. And Ballmer has been there long enough to completely lose touch with reality.
So, in Steve's world, it's perfectly logical to think expensive hardware drives software piracy, not expensive software. After all, Windows is such a bargain for what MSFT is charging it couldn't possibly be their own fault, now could it?
I used to see the same thing in law enforcement. It's a pretty insular environment, most of your friends are cops. You deal disproportionately with the less attractive elements in society and after a while it does start to jaundice your view of the world. Not always and not everyone to the same degree, but it happens.
Need may be a relative concept around here but I can tell you from experience I really like Xandros. It's a breeze to learn for Windows users and is easy to network with Windows machines. Printers, scanners, Windows domain...click, click done. The supported version comes bundled with CrossOver Office and runs most of the MS Office suite fairly well.
It makes a great stepping stone distro for business users and makes a very nice introduction to non-Windows machines.
Doesn't sound like you need it but there is quite a lot of value in it for the transition users.
I've never scanned a Windows PC connected to the internet that wasn't loaded with spyware, trojans and every evil thing that creeps on the net. Even when those PC's were in places with fairly good network security.
There's one ultra Death Star customer and they got a virus from a security camera server installed by a contractor. ROFL! Soon as they plugged it in it went nuts infecting other machines.
The current administration did the same thing by transporting prisoners to countries where the laws on interrogation are more lax. This is just another extension of the same philosophy.
Actually, this could work out to be kind of an equalizer. Here in this country looking information on public officials could get you an "Ashcrofting." But let some company in another country do the dirty work for you. Hey, what's this charge on Bill O'Reilly's credit card to a place called Vibrator Universe?
Actually, that's nothing compared to what foreign governments are going to do with that treasure trove of information. More likely what will happen is Congress will make it a crime to export data on Congress, and the let the rest of us take up the pooper. Business as usual.
It's one of those situations where you really don't care who wins, especially if you're not buying RIAA label music. So, who cares? Let them slug it out. I hope they beat the corporate snot out of one another.
What's good for the consumer...the ones buying RIAA music that is...is that if Wal-Mart gets price concessions then every other retail distributor is going to be showing up wanting a cut. It about time the music industry got a taste of their own medicine. HA-HA! How does it taste now?
People would go through the roof if the police started keeping dossiers on average Americans, now they don't have to. They can let private companies and other government agencies do it for them and conveniently tap into that information river whenever it's convenient.
You don't value your privacy, then you lose it. Half of America voted for the pinheads making this a reality, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
I have an HP 4355 and have been very pleased with its performance so far. Great battery life, integrated Bluetooth and WiFi leaves the expansion slot open for additional memory. It has a built-in keyboard that's not bad. I use it to watch video and play music. If I were on a long flight I'd probably spring for the 49 after market extra battery.
The things I don't like about it are that it's MSFT centric and you are quite right about the data synching. It's not any better than my first PDA. The charging cradle is a little flimsy and the IR file transfer is painfully slow.
Not many jobs where you have to deal with screaming customers, but IT is one of them. It's like people think they can vent all their frustrations about computers on the IT staff because their computer, which they're generally abusing like a rented sheep at a lumberjack camp, happens to take that moment to decline to take further abuse.
The last place I worked the president of the company came steaming down the hall and started screaming...I mean red-faced screaming...at the poor lady at the IT desk. In an exhibition of pure gonads, she calmly took his laptop and dumped it in her trash can. I was fully prepared to quit before I would fire her but he never said another word about it.
How do you prove a tipping point in a complex system? If you're looking strictly at statistical variations from the norm in a complex system the variations in any one element prior to calmity can be quite small initially. It's a little like trying to predict the butterfly effect.
I certainly wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a 4 ppm increase as insignificant because it falls within the range of monthly variations. If that turns out to be a sustainable average increase the previous author's suggestion that our first real indication of trouble could be plans to relocate Miami are not inconceivable.
I'd also remind you that it wasn't that long ago that the suggestion of the scientifically valid possibility that the Earth could experience an extinction event caused by a giant rock falling out of the sky would have not only been ridiculed by their fellow scientists, but the author might well have been burned as a heretic.
Now the FBI has become the lackies of the Italian police? The FBI raids an American business at the behest of a foreign government. Anyone see a probblem with that?
I can't wait to hear the Bushies defend this one. Let's hear a justification for something like this from the Mighty Whitey Righty. And don't give me that crap about Democrats voted for it, too. All this is happening on YOUR watch and YOU own it.
The military has used gaming to identify potential recruits for some high value jobs and Google is famous for using puzzles and games to indentify individuals they might want to hire.

I guess that explains the Patriot Act. Instead of spreading freedom and democracy in Iraq, how about spreading a little around the US instead.

My apologies to fans of Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). Google doesn't correct the spelling unless you type in the whole movie name.

From this story.
Sounds like Steve has been hitting the crack pipe again.

But outside those minor downsides it's a gem.
Wasn't the Chinese government paying a reward for porn sites? Wo-ho! Maybe we can forward the list and collect! Cha-ching, baby.
But how would Windows users notice? That's normal operation for most of them.
