Something Random

[ddrueding]

Can't sleep. This sucks.

 

[Mercutio]

Try playing with the girlfriend you're fortunate enough to have.

 

[LunarMist]

Err. What about the wife, then?

 

[ddrueding]

No new posts in 17 hours? WTF?

 

[LunarMist]

I'm all over the place for the next few months, and no access with corp. computer.

 

[Handruin]

Good luck with your trip, I hope things go well while you're traveling.

 

[LunarMist]

Maybe not any good luck. I experienced minor, yet probably permanent, physical injury this evening. :crap: It's too late to change anything this week however.

 

[ddrueding]

The only minor/permanent injury I can think of is what I deal with (my teeth). What did you manage to do?

 

[Stereodude]

Montezuma's Revenge is serious stuff. ARGH!!!!

That sucks. Where did you go?

Mexico of course.

I should have refused to eat from a fairly large roadside taco stand (well... large for a roadside stand anyhow). I almost did, but changed my mind at the last minute after my coworker and rep were already eating.

Interesting, I've eaten from roadside stands and street vendors in just about every Asian and eastern European country, but there is no way I would trust food in Mexico.

Loving the new 10-drive RAID-5 array. Only 100MB/sec writes, but 280MB/sec reads. I'll take it.

Nice...

 

[ddrueding]

Oh, I had forgotten to turn on the "performance" mode. Make that 170MB writes. Reads are the same.

Playing with her while she is trying to sleep means you don't get to keep her. We both have to work tomorrow. Crap.

 

[Chewy509]

This has to be fake!

If not, the world certainly won't be a safe place if she gets any votes!

 

[Stereodude]

That's her response to the ad that McCain put on you tube that showed her picture for all of about 1 second. No, she's not really running for president.

 

[Chewy509]

That's good to know. Paris Hilton as US President! What a scary country the US would become.

 

[Will Rickards]

This could actually be a good thing.
As long as she takes votes from McCain.

 

[Stereodude]

Oh sure, that's clearly who would be attracted to voting for a celebrity, not the people who are already voting for a celebrity or anything.

Ronbo already did his two terms.

Who???

 

[timwhit]

Reagan

Well, technically, she's not old enough. But I'd vote "diseased skank party" before republican any day of my life.

I have a feeling that her Cocaine, Hookers, Valium, Purse-size Dogs and Hookers platform would be very popular.

 

[ddrueding]

But what about the hookers?

 

[Mercutio]

Funny thing about hookers - and I'm positive that you'll hear about this in the upcoming month - Hookers always report there's an upswing in their business when the national political conventions are in town.

The Upswing at the Republican side is always VASTLY higher.

Likewise, business is better for sex trade workers in Washington DC when a Republican hold the Presidency.

I guess that means when Republicans aren't busy furtively buggering one another in men's rooms or trying to abuse teenage boys, they're putting their family values to good use with strippers and escorts (I don't have a problem with strippers or escorts, just republicans).

Why do these double posts keep happening?

 

[Mercutio]

And here's another fun link: Why GM's CEO still has a job.

 

[ddrueding]

Very neat concept. Relating to the highly unlikely possibility of the LHC causing a black hole.

 

[Handruin]

Small video of what the blackhole might look like consuming earth:
http://www.youtube.com/v/BXzugu39pKM&hl=en&fs=1

 

[Fushigi]

That video only works if the black hole sinks to to the middle of the earth and then stops. I'm not sure that reflects any kind of reality.

But it wouldn't matter to me. As I'm in the Chicago suburbs and Fermi Lab is only a few miles away I'd be one of the first (million or so) to go.

 

[ddrueding]

Even if it oscillates a few times, the video would still be fairly accurate. We don't see the far side, or the black hole itself, until pretty far into the video.

 

[LunarMist]

I thought that particle collider was in the EU? How does it affect the Illinois?

I'm not able to see the video.

Server buggered?

CERN will have the largest collider when it is operational. The current largest collider is at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois.

 

[Fushigi]

That video assumes Fermi will generate the black hole. The close body of water is Lake Michigan.

My wife and I purchased the latest "Raggs" CD for our son to listen to in the car. (He has all the DVDs). We ended up listening to it all weekend whilst out and about.

And now I can't get the songs out of my head!!!! grrrr...
