well, it's software running on several million dollars worth of hardware that is in no way easy to troubleshoot. rebooting probobly takes many hours considering the delay associated with transmission to mars.
I remeber running windows 95, and if my pc cost a few million dollars i wouldn't want a copy of win95 within 100ft of it.
am i only onw who thought ketel one was super cheap vodka because of achewood?
also: my favorite (as a college student) vodka is Takka. ultra cheap and in comes in a drunk proof plastic bottle! i mean, it tastes like you think rubbing alcohol might, but i don't have high standards.
actually no, but doing web stuff with java. those goddamn packet headers need carriage returns. I spent most of a lab being confused because i left one out.
i like when i see a headline and go "i wonder how many 'dupe!' posts there will be?"
don't eliminate dupes... what would/. readers do with all their spare time?
my mom taught _me_ qbasic when i was younger.

another favorite when someone was in the trunk was to find a parking lot with a lot of speedbumps and listen to the muffled cursing.
overstuffing the car was a favorite activity in highschool.
twelve people in the station wagon? no problem!
at least until you get pulled over.
i wonder how many you can unsafely fit in these things.
actually, the first comment is a simpsons joke :D
I find it funny that this why my first thought upon reading the blurb.

try to post before another nerd gets to it.
clearly, i've lost this round.
what they say about first borns being the overacheievers is so true...
i think the most appropriate equation for /. is

omg, im a CS student and this _very_same_error_ screws up everyone of my goddamn programs at least once. that or a carriage return...
and i can never believe it when it happens.
