    Upon further inspection, it turns out the 50 lb mass is actually 50 6-volt lantern batteries. Oops.

    A quick and easy way to check all your files is to use md5deep, which
    will scan directories recursively and generate all the md5s into
    a single file which you could compare against a baseline:

    Actually, it tastes quite like whooping crane.

  5. Debugging Rails applications problematic on Using the Ruby Dev-Tools plug-in for Eclipse · · Score: 1

    After seeing this article, I followed the instructions from the referred page,
    also the article at

    http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html#_To c111133460

    My real goal was to debug Ruby on Rails programs with the plugin.

    In theory I was able to do it, but not very usefully. I found that even a very
    simple Rails program kept throwing off uncaught exceptions which kept stopping the debugger.
    I could press the 'Continue' button to resume, but I would have to step through about
    15 exceptions before the browser would be updated.

    If this was fixed, it would be a very powerful IDE.

    Unless I was very quick hitting the keys, the browser would time out. Something
    needs to be improved before this would be a useful tool. Either Rails has to
    be cleaned up to stop throwing those exceptions, or the plugin would need an
    option to ignore those exceptions, if they are indeed normal.

    3) Windows admins are hard-working, loyal, dutiful, do-as-you-say-Sir types, whereas Unix admins are chronically lazy -- and lazy like a fox

    Maybe this is why it seems that we only hear from the Unix admins on slashdot, the Windows admins are too busy working?
