I like it when science proves folk medicine observations. In this case, cranberry juice vs. UTIs.

I like looking at the ROI of things, including the ROI for all this extra security.

Great rant about the freetard attack on the iPhone. Since when did getting paid for things become bad?
-
This cartoon reminds me of a few similar conversations I’ve had, inadvertently. The best is when they’ve asked me what my Ph.D. thesis is on.

NSFW language in the graphic, but dead on nonetheless.

“in this world of highly available, scaled and performant web applications, developers have to think about operations and admins have to think about the applications.” Been saying this for a while, that all good apps teams need a good sysadmin, too.

Two things here. A) I’ve had to get out and push a cable car before, when the operator got it stuck going around a corner, so it jumping the track isn’t so far fetched to me. B) Most all rail systems rely on sand, it isn’t well-known though.

Didn’t see that coming. Nope. Not at all.

Oh, Usenet still exists? I kid, I kid. Sort of. Just kill it already and let’s move on.

“As a user, please be extra patient when developers tell you that they are working on a problem—it’s hard work at the moment and the time it takes to resolve an issue will be longer than with a desktop application.” Good points on debugging the iPhone

“I may not be smart enough to join Mensa, but I am smart enough not to build websites like the American Mensa website.” LOL, nice.

Trey Ratcliff takes some amazing HDR photos, but this is the best one I’ve seen yet. As a kid I was with my family in Yellowstone two weeks before the big fires. The destruction was/is amazing, but part of nature, of course.

Short take: kids see overgrown city park. Kids clean it up, make it into a whiffle ball field. Neighbors get pissed off, want it shut down. My take: good for the kids, the neighbors should stop being prudes and work out a compromise.

A 33 year old yacc bug, now fixed. Wow. Many eyes make all bugs shallow” my duff.

I’m with this guy, Favre has now spent all the goodwill Wisconsin had for him. Learn to live with the decisions you make. Personally, I want to see the Packers move on and find a new QB, since Favre is getting old anyhow.

Yawn. What I want is one of these that I can plug into my existing SAN as a target. I don’t share the thoughts about fibre channel being dead.

“I refuse to believe that he considers text messaging a legitimate way of communicating. Nobody over the age of 30 does.” With regard to the fact that I consider text messaging to be useful and legit, am I odd or is Nick Mortensen totally clueless?

Like, oh-my-GOD, you can still license Windows for Workgroups 3.11? (At least until November). ACT NOW, PEOPLE!

This might be pretty cool to play with.

LOL.

“There are better alternatives on the horizon…” There always are. I’d like to see a phone that supports free software but doesn’t suck in some tremendous way. Ideology is nice but I have a problem when it directly conflicts with my getting things done.
