Hi 71°F

So there was this guy behind me in an Audi on the drive home and he had a baseball glove on one hand. Yeah, like for reals. not just holding it, he was wearing it. What could go wrong?

normal office: “Guys, I think I might be getting a cold. I’ll try to wash my hands frequently, but be careful when coming into contact with anything in my work area”

didata: “I’m getting the plague. You guys are fucked.”

Stole the image and originally got the info from . Yes it’s a blatant Ghost ripoff, but whatever… I thought it made the delivery a little more clever. 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is the hex code that allows HD-DVDs to be decrypted in linux. Yeah, it’s that simple. And apparently its leak is royally pissing off movie studios (MPAA etc). So naturally I’m all about spreading the love. People are getting banned from here and there for posting/spreading it, but once it’s up in enough places I imagine the collective”they” will be powerless to do anything about it. Oh noes! T3h linux geeks can watch movies too! RED ALART!

PS – Every time you spread 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, Bambi’s mother dies.

Boss: “Hey guys, they’ve cleared out the fishbowl so keep your junk in your pants”

Translation: “There’s a customer in the meeting room and they’ve lowered the opacity on the glass walls looking into the NOC, so please be on your best behavior”

gotta hand it to him for economy of words

Worst case of engrish I can remember seeing:

Mother had to explain to daughter, 7 origin of `totally unacceptable’ word on wrapping of furniture built overseas

At first I thought this was a joke article from some onion-like publication or something. Turns out it’s just some twisted sort of engrish. Or at least I would hope so

Nerd venting/musing behind the cut. Not even going to bother with cliffnotes for non-nerds… I promise you’re not missing out on anything cool.

PCI what?

How to know you’re having a shitty day:

BEIJING (Reuters) – A Chinese woman survived a plunge from a sixth-floor balcony thanks to a convenient pile of excrement which broke her fall, local media said.

“She probably stretched out too far and fell … right on to a 20 cm-thick heap of excrement.”

Humans are animals, right? Hopefully I’m not the only one who finds it ironic that they are hosting a sexiest vegetarian alive contest. More or less they are exploiting humans in a number of ways to get publicity for their website. They have ads spammed all over the web regardless of website content, in the hopes that people will click to check out the hot vegetarians… and in passing perhaps read some delicious propaganda.

Normally I’m not one to dabble in politics, but this was silly enough to catch my attention. Reminds me of those naked celeb “I’d rather wear nothing than fur” ads they had a while back. Same deal. Apparently they’re above exploiting any animals except humans. I find it ironic since they go so above and beyond when it comes to riding their high horse.

My apologies to the user at 128.200.230.90 and anyone else who is experiencing the heartbreaking broken image links in my LJ. I host all my own images and, as noted in a previous post, I had a *glitch* in my server backup procedure and lost everything.

To my faithful reader at 128.200.230.90, I have found and replaced pizzapan.jpg. You may now enjoy my sublime content at your leisure. Seriously though, stop surfing the internet and get back to studying.
