  1. Re:this just makes sense on Scientists Turn Tequila Into Diamonds · · Score: 1

    Wow, I could swear my dad had a bottle of tequila with a worm in it when I was a kid, but then again maybe his friends were just messing with him.

    Yeah but what girl would want a diamond with a worm in it?

    As long as they don't mess with continued additions to the best of craigslist I'm ok with the changes

  4. Re:Uhhmmm... on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    When I ran memtest from the grub menu (it gets installed with ubuntu) it puked on my second of three simms, which makes sense (machine would run fine, and then just hard lock when it hit the bad simm). Good luck diagnosing the problem.

    I had a similiar probablem that turned out to be bad memory (everything was fine until the machine crashed and burned upon hitting the bad spot, usually right as I loaded some gigantic flash from somewhere). Probably worth checking if you haven't already anyway :-)

    Apparently he doesn't realize that when google lawbot indexes this, it is gonna toss out all these random keywords, right?

    Or is there some secret message in there somewhere?

    At least the Captain who kept steering us into icebergs will be replaced soon, though possibly not soon enough.

  8. Re:Do They Still Advertise them as "Unlimited"? on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could add "with extra virus blocking features", because technically caps/limits would lower the number of viruses you could download, assuming that was all you were downloading the entire time.

    The best part is they will probably raise their rates, since all that extra monitoring to bring you quality service costs money don'tchyaknow :-\

    When they start doing practice runs over Microsoft, the mission will be obvious.

    Plus as an added bonus the U.S. could stimulate the economy by turning the whole country into one huge lightbulb factory (with rocket launchpads on top to keep putting the lightbulbs in orbit).

    ...but it is a shame that vigilantism is/can be illegal.

    See the movie "The Star Chamber" for a good reason why it is illegal.

    I'm amazed no one has come up with the obvious solution: blackmail. When people leave threatening messages, simply call back and demand that they send a few hundred dollars or you are turning their asses in to the police.

    Tcl -- haven't needed

    Be thankful; having had to support a financial application written entirely in Tcl (yeah, don't ask) I am grateful I will never have to touch a line of Tcl code again. It was awesome getting paged when code that had been in production for two years would error out with a syntax error (not preprocessed, and obviously someone didn't test it thoroughly). I still have bald patches on my arms from that job.
