So....Dell should be paranoid over selling computers because someone might run across child porn on them?
I punched "18 year old sucking" into Google the other day and got '8 & 10 year old sucking daddy's cock' back in the top 3 results. While 8 and 10 is 18, that's... not exactly what I meant.
Do I need to burn my computer now before Google Chrome becomes curious and starts browsing those sites by itself? Should I report Google to the FBI? (For that matter, how do I report these search results to Google? I didn't really look, just kind of refined my search so it didn't do that anymore...)
People put the helmet in a plastic bag to handle the weather. There's not much you can do about assholes except come out with an 18 inch section of gas pipe when they're around.
Um. I got to work, changed my clothes, washed and brushed my hair in uh...121 seconds? Granted I had gotten it down to completely stripping down the cycling jersey, compression shirt underneath, bike shorts, and shoes and putting on my pants, undershirt, and work shirt, and watch, and my work shoes in 81 seconds. So yeah about 40 seconds to wash and dry and comb my hair.
Hint: Stick your head under the faucet. Scrub fingers through and over the scalp for 10 seconds. Squeeze out the hair. Send the comb through it to slick off the water. Scrub mostly dry with two paper towels. Comb it down. Optionally, brush your fingertps through it quickly (rapid back-and-forth motion) to dislodge the hairs from each other, if your hair tends to lay down in a flat, smooth, plastic sheet. Or let it dry, then comb through it once later for same effect.
That's because the Japanese AREN'T ASSHOLES! It's a major part of their culture, being packed on a tiny island. They developed a concept that roughly equates to "don't annoy other people." In the US, we let kids run around in supermarkets throwing shit around.
Yours is a rare accident. A few degrees to the left and the beam would land below the helmet, smashing against your eyebrow, fracturing the bone into your skull and killing you regardless of protective gear. Then again, I favor SNELL 95A rated full face helmets.
I never had a problem with sucking in exhaust. The air quality out there is better than inside.
I ride on one road where I don't have a lane and the road is too tight. To handle that, I crank a mile or so at 25mph--which redlines me hard, but eh. My MHR should be about 190 but I've been up to 220, and you shouldn't be above 90% MHR which is 175 for me--and yes, when I push hard, my heartrate tends to taper off and refuse to increase past there. Yes, I've pushed well beyond VO2max. Yes, this can kill you.
The rest I manage traffic. It's not hard. Get out of the way if you're in the way. Ride predictably at all times, even when you're in the way. Don't run stop signs. Coax drivers driving like shit--if they keep passing too damn close for safety, slowly make your way further into the lane so they can't pass you anymore without changing into the next lane (I've had drivers hit me with their mirrors; the law proscribes 3 feet of clearance). Don't weave in and out of the far right lane around parked cars--that's just a series of crazy cyclist jumping out into traffic, only dip in if you're intentionally letting someone pass. Don't let traffic get backed up--one guy can wait for the next intersection, a dozen cars you should let get by.
No, it's index shifters that are finicky. When an index shifter goes out of adjustment just slightly, the chain starts to rattle and it shifts poorly. When friction shifters start to go out, you nudge them a bit this way and then back, just like when they're in perfect adjustment--just eventually you can't reach that lowest/highest gear.
Friction shifters ALWAYS work, you just gotta learn to use them instead of rapid fire trigger shifting. Once you've had one for a week or three, you can shift quicker and smoother than those trigger shifters anyway.
I've been taking a hybrid around, but I really like road bikes. Mountain bikes not so much, and knobbies suck on the street. I like 32mm tires, not 40mm or 26mm.
Shared lanes are functionally better, safer, and more efficient (1.5 times as wide right lane to share between the car and the bicycle), but bike lanes aren't expensive. Cyclists are very attached to bike lanes for some reason
Good, fine those motherfuckers until they understand. I stop at the light and people in the car look at me like wtf you think you're a car boy lol... and I'm like, well, can't run the red light. I could get off and walk the bike across, but it's illegal to walk against the light too! (I do this at certain intersections in the city where the lights should be stop signs instead, because they pass 3-4 cars per hour; I don't ride through, though).
Go into the bathroom. WASH YOUR HAIR (all the salt from the sweat makes a good cleaning agent anyway). Use the comb to extract most water. Use two paper towels to dry it the rest of the way. Comb it out.
Cyclists need training too. We don't teach kids in high school to bike on the road--they have bicycles, we can't let them off school ground, they'll go where they fucking want! Oh my god do you know what a bicycle does to a kid? It lets them go ANYWHERE THEY GOD DAMN PLEASE and try and stop them!
Cyclists ride against traffic. This is wrong; a 40mph collision is highly fatal, 35mph is very much non-fatal, and at 25mph car vs 15mph bike that's 40. The car sees a bike and has a very short time to apply brakes and come to a complete stop, if escaping via steering isn't an option; the bike is going to have less stopping efficiency as well. Cycling with traffic, the car has to slow down by about 10mph to match speed if a bicycle is encountered.
Cyclists run stop signs. They must be ticketed. Cyclists running a stop sign are hard to see and easy to hit. They also run lights--I have watched cyclists appear out of nowhere coming the wrong way down city streets (sidewalk-to-building, no lawn) making a left turn across traffic, they're in my way the moment I see them and stopping is not easy. I have seen cyclists run red lights to make left turns through left turning cross traffic--weaving between moving cars. This is not safe.
Many cyclists put a great deal of effort into understanding not only the equipment they need--a good bicycle, biking clothes (i.e. to handle the heat/cold), water, clipless pedals and shoes with cleats, body armor if you're hard-core mountain biking--but also laws and basic safety. Sometimes there is a grey area between these--laws proscribe behavior that isn't safe, and behavior that is safe is arguable or outside the bounds of the law. Most of the time, however, the law proscribes adequate safe behavior in all situations and leaves a large amount of discretion with the cyclist: overly narrow lanes, lanes that travel too close to parked cars, and lanes full of debris are considered hazards, and cyclists--just like drivers--are typically legally proscribed to move out of these lanes when safe to avoid hazards.
Because of this, a lot of responsibility is put on the cyclist to control their vehicle. Why, therefor, aren't people given a road safety course for bicycling, and why aren't laws about direction of travel and traffic etiquette enforced? A great many cyclists are ignorant that there are any rules at all!
There is nothing good about CentOS except the occasional third party application is easier to install on it, though sometimes doesn't work unless you hand-compile alternate versions of various packages etc. RHEL is a lousy piece of shit with the word "Enterprise" slapped on it; CentOS is just a RHEL rip-off.
The pride of the Amish is in their good works and their commitment to the community; any Amish would feel shamed if he did not put forth his best for the good of his friends and neighbors.
The absence of pride and shame is greed and lust and gluttony. With no pride, there is no drive to seek to better your work once it is functional--it is 'good enough'. With no pride there is no shame, for shame is the desire to restore one's pride; and with no shame there is no concern for how others view your work. Without these drivers, the only reason to perform a function--much less perform it well--is for the reward of money, sex, or food.
Do you know what happens when you launch something with that much energy into something solid, like the ground? It stops. That energy has to go somewhere.
Both right and left wing economics are Keynsian at their roots. The Austrian model is the only one that works - economies are more organic than formulaic because they are comprised of organic components.
What I don't get is how people complain that we send 197.11.15.202:http://www.fapfap.com/horsedongs/ to a Web server and they want the guy on the other end to close his eyes instead of going "this guy looks at a lot of horsedong, let's show him horsedong ads!" I mean seriously I could do a lot of this fancy 'tracking' with awk and bash pointed at/var/log/apache2/access.log picking up Referrer and request IP.
Thin provisioning etc, as well ext4 lets you shift the journal and do full ordered write (so you can use an SSD for a journal, and avoid all that sync() to slow hard disk and have bulletproof journaling with both data and metadata, ordered properly).
Because you have people like me who say, "What we should do for deduplication is hash blocks and keep them in a fast bucket hash table cached in RAM and pointed to in the block index. Then we can occasionally compare identically-hashed pointers to see if the blocks are the same, and if so drop one or the other pointer and repoint the others. This dropping can be done by selecting the one with the highest use count as our new pointer, and altering old pointers as they're accessed rather than actively, until the duplicate pointer is empty." Someone says, "PATENTED ALREADY LOL!" It's not "I patented data dedup," it's "Here's every way I can think of to do it, PATENT NOW! Oh you did something vaguely similar to this one, that's mine..."
It always causes a twinge of [,,,] sadness in my heart at how [...] pride [in one's work] [...] seem to be the foundation of the "Christian" nation of the US.
What's wrong with that?

In the US, it seems like most folks want to slap shit together so it looks vaguely shaped like the thing you want and therefor they can sell it. Look at the mass moving volume of WalMart bicycles (WalMart owns the license to the Schwinn name in the US; as well, they sell a lot of Denali bikes). They look like bikes. Examine one thoroughly, it looks great, doesn't seem like it would fall apart. Yet even when assembled well, they fall apart. The wheels come off, frames physically snap in half. They're not safe. Even worse, the employees routinely assemble them at purchase and they assemble them poorly, so they fail even more than is warranted by their poor workmanship.
A bicycle should be made well. Its joints should be welded properly, its tubes well-formed and of proper strength, its geometry correct for its purpose, its wheels spoked and trued well, brakes secure and tuned and brake and shifter cables routed and run properly. To do any less is to have no pride in your work, and to produce a product not fit for its purpose.

Printers tend to shut down when they detect currency. Often you need to call a technician to come reset the printer.

I have never perceived a helmet as a safety device. If I run a motherfucker over, he is going to be crushed and dead.

Jesus Christ, Trek bikes are one of like five things made in America that still don't fucking suck. I want a 2.1 Apex.

(I do this at certain intersections in the city where the lights should be stop signs instead, because they pass 3-4 cars per hour; I don't ride through, though).
I run the cable lock that locks the wheels up through the helmet straps, so the helmet cannot be stolen without destroying it.
