  1. 13 is unlucky because... on Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year · · Score: 1

    ...back in the olden days, noose's had 13 wraps. Obviously being hanged was unlucky. Today it's illegal to have nooses with 13 wraps. You can still have a noose, but it must have either 12 wraps and below or 14 wraps. and above

  2. Re:Apple already provides an excellent tool on Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther · · Score: 1

    I believe if you press 'CTRL-X' AND 'CTRL-D' you will get a listing of the available commands.

  3. Re:This is a boondoggle on Defending Earth From Asteroids With MADMEN · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing a short documentary on this once. What made this significant, but not until much later, was that there was a pattern of trees that was still standing. This pattern was also seen after the Hiroshima bomb was dropped; and was seen again in a small scale nuclear test in a lab. I can't recall the pattern exactly, but it resembled a shape like the state of Idaho.

    .50 Caliber ammo boxes seem to work best, as far as size. You can conviently fit two CD case holders inside.

  5. Re:CCNA is worthless for this very reason on CCNA Certification Library · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on now. If this networking novice can pass a test for a networking cert then the value of that cert is substantially reduced. The CCNA is almost as worthless as the MCSE and A+. Any schmuck can get their MCSE. This is the exact reason why I, personally, elected to NOT get certified. When I started taking some MSCE and CNE classes, I was running into people in the latter part of these classes that had passed three certification tests, but were still trying to use a mouse on the command line. I feel that my time is better spent trying to actually learn the material, rather than just reading a book/brain dump and regurgitating that material. What is really needed is performance based exams.
