Recently, when my school was cleaning out a bunch of unused equipment, a friend of mine saved an old IBM RS/6000 (AIX) system like this one.
It booted without ill events. We found that it had been an internal mail server for Northwest Mental Health Services. Last bootup was 2001, and before that 1995. Currently it's running as a small group of *nix machines at the school.

The majority of said "Blog People" don't give a flying rat's ass about saying anything important, and couldn't care less about "quality writing."

Yeah, he does have a point:
today was boring. i sat in class and wathhd out teh window and farted at the teacher. everybody laffed. then we ate lunch. OH MAN IM SO DEPRESSED I JUST BROKE UP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!
Besides, I don't think we can trust the guy. Of course he sounds official. Er. Officious. He uses a lot of big words, like "antidigitalist" and "progressives" and "hubris" and "neologism" and "pillory"...
Somehow, I doubt you were filled with brains to preserve your intelligence.
I find two (out of two) things wrong with your statement. One: Egyptian pyramids were pathways to the heavens for, and monuments to, the pharoahs who were buried in them. They were not in any way related to lighthouses. Two: Last I checked, the Egyptian pyramids date back, oh, several thousand years or so. The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978.

Both nominative and accusative cases of the second neuter plural have the ending -a. Therefore, the correct plural form of virus is vira. ...People mostly associate the -us ending with words which are non-neuter second-declension nouns (pl nom ending of -i), however, and logically transfer this to virus - in which case it should be viri (one i)

According to the Darwin Awards rules page, the candidate must be dead first - though I guess we can wait a few days and see what happens...
You might recall the play-within-a-play from Midsummer Night's Dream, Pyramus and Thisbe.
This ancient story was written long before Shakespeare's time; one might note, too, the striking similarities that Romeo and Juliet has to it.
I find it hard to not question our favorite playwright's sources of "creativity"... Plagiarism, no. But let's give credit where it's due.

Sorry, dude. You missed the LJ outage. This was the one where you should've posted some misleading-but-legitimate-looking "information."
Er, evermind. I just misread that as "irresponsible" - and we know that's not right, don't we?
How about "MS Employee Calls for Really Frickin' HUGE Passwords" instead?
If you can get them before they come out of their trailers carrying double-barreled shotguns, sure, go ahead.

I don't think I will vector your ass, thankyouverymuch.
Remind me of the difference?
You'd rather have hi-quality ones?
Valve uses a fire now, instead of a teapot?
Guide dog. Not attack hound. ...Besides, what would happen when said soldier, hiding somewhere near the robot, cleared his throat?
Surely that can't come without a performance hit. (Yeah, didn't RTFA. It's obvious, isn't it...?)
Virus is a Latin second-declension neuter noun.

Nah. Pre-digested food just doesn't do it for me.
If you want to learn something without practicing at ALL, you won't learn much. No pain...
