That’s nothing, the Girl Scouts I’ve seen selling cookies have entire sashes dedicated to the display of their merit badges in Advanced Whoring, Pole Dancing, and Lesbianism.

Invisible to the naked eye are the hesitation marks left on every sentence that I have written in the last year.

A reluctant attempt to better express something.

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Review: A Magnificent First Stab:

Here’s an off-the-rack sports car with lateral adhesion in the range of 1 g, a car that hits 60 mph in 4 seconds (the 394-horsepower Carrera S with the dual-clutch PDK gearbox), a car that trips the trap lights in about 12 seconds and decelerates from 60 mph to 0 in about 100 feet.

How to form a stampede of engineers at Tumblr HQ.

Glad these guys have time to eat candy while providing a service with 70% uptime.

soy loco por los cornball

I like ZEVO

Protip: vmware virtual machines really can take advantage of ZFS’s filesystem compression. What takes 51GB on cornballer/vurt takes almost 70GB on my NAS’s ext2 filesystem.

cornballer          51.3Gi  405Gi  480Ki  /Volumes/cornballer
cornballer/vurt     51.3Gi  405Gi  51.3Gi /Volumes/cornballer/vurt

the thrill. be damned.

NYT reposts Foxconn story in China, to different reaction

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:11:45 -0500

NYT reposts Foxconn story in China, to different reaction:

“If the story is simply blaming Apple and Foxconn,” wrote a user on the Chinese social site Weibo.com, “then it is simplifying the problem. Other companies including HTC, Lenovo, HP and Sony and their OEM [subsidiaries] … share the same situation,” adding that OEM factory workers are often “working in even harsher environments and having more overtime” than Foxconn workers. The user also pointed out that labor organizations are scarce, and that the government tends to shield the companies due to their high profits.

SWTOR on VMWare Fusion

SWTOR on VMWare Fusion:

There is a regression in VMWare that the new virtual graphics devices have a different data path, giving you a black screen when you try to get your Jedi on.

Users of Parallels didn’t have this problem, and now VMWare has started working on a fix and has made the older VMWare Tools video drivers available for those of us that can’t stand rebooting into Windows every time we want to use the Force.

Sick burn, Boehner

Sick burn, Boehner:

Countering President Obama’s decision to host Warren Buffet’s secretary for the State of the Union, House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday he will host a handful of people who would have benefited if Mr. Obama had approved the Keystone XL pipeline.

In other words, Boehner has invited everyone that would benefit from this scheme. That’s just the kind of big thinking we need, keep it up Mr. Speaker.

And once the service stabilizes I’m sure I’ll be able to use it. A real shame Apple just can’t let iPhone 4 users have Siri.

Rep. Lamborn boycotting the State of the Union Address

Rep. Lamborn boycotting the State of the Union Address:

Hey remember when this assbag referred to being linked to the policies of the President of the United States as “touching a tar baby”?

I’m shocked SHOCKED to hear that he’s also one of those attorneys in Congress that doesn’t do anything but argue with people over and over again.
