  1. Wordpress has the option on Are Long URLs Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Wordpress by default allows you to configure URL writing. The default is set to something like: http://www.mysite.com/?p=1.

    For SEO purposes it's always handy to switch to the more popular example: http://www.mysite.com/2009/03/my-title-of-my-post.html.

    Suggesting that we cut URL's that help Google rank our pages higher is preposterous.

  2. Re:Change we can believe in. on Is Your IM Buddy Really a Computer? · · Score: 0
    I used to have key bindings in Q3A to fuck with the bots:
    • /bind k say Save the whales.
    • /bind p say Pwned.

    It's true, the bots did say some funny shit.

  3. Check out Lifenaut on Is Your IM Buddy Really a Computer? · · Score: 1

    Lifenaut.com has a virtual AI system that learns who you are the more you talk to it. Oh, and they also beam your files into space for you.

  4. Addition to regular work? on Google Engineers Say IPv6 Is Easy, Not Expensive · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google engineers worked on the IPv6 effort as a 20% project -- meaning it was in addition to their regular work -- from July 2007 until January 2009.

    Google allows it's employees to use 20% of their WORK DAY for personal projects. So technically this wasn't "extra" work.

  7. I did the same thing at Office Max on How Office Depot Pushes Service Plans On Customers · · Score: 4, Informative

    When I was 17 I worked for Office Max.

    The incentives that they gave the salesperson who sold the extended "warranty" on any electronic/furniture item far outweighed any moral obligation for me. I would push a $5.99 1-year replacement warranty on just about anything I could, selling someone a $29.99 inkjet printer with a warranty gave me an extra $12 bucks in my check. Some weeks my check gross amount just about doubled from the volume of extended replacement plans I sold.
    I don't blame them.

    Apologies, misread it. I no longer use Sabayon as it won't install on my Macbook Pro. I just installed Slackware 12.2 yesterday.

    I don't see why he's a moron. They insulted him:

    ciaranm> other than that there's nothing major. with 0.26 we'll even be able to do special distribution-specific stuff for you... you'd just need to give us a .conf file for your distro and compile with --with-default-distribution=sabayon lxnay> well if you devs are interested in sabayon, just contact me ciaranm> lxnay: we don't care about sabayon, in that none of us use it. but we have no objection to supporting it, if there's demand from users lxnay> bah lxnay> die alone then

    I would be pissed off too.

  14. AIR Linux - No Distro Love on iPlayer Released for Mac, Linux; Adobe Announces AIR for Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am on the Adobe Pre-release program and I've been testing AIR Linux since it was in engdrop form, it's never installed on Slackware or Sabayon. When will they release a version that will install across all distros? Nobody knows.

    My buddy pissed in a beer bottle and capped it off -- left it in my basement for 2 months. I forgot that it was piss and took a large swill, needless to say I was puking piss for the next hour.

  20. Open Office Headless on OpenOffice Vs. Google Apps · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't Google run a headless version of OOo? That way they can convert documents on the fly (as they are already doing, poorly) more efficiently. This would also eliminate the need for competition. Both companies would be working together to make their products better.
