Q: Why does Juliet wonder that “heaven can be so envious”?
A: She’s on shrooms.
I’d like to see the clientele for this place
When a bookstore’s “Best Sellers List” include such titles as “Hit Rock Bottom,” “Out on the streets,” “Sold Out,” and “Up sh*t creek,” you might have to worry. From NTK.
Cops find 854 pairs of panties in college student’s apartment
A sergeant says of the alleged perv’s undies collection: “They were in containers in the closet and found in dresser drawers. We’re thinking he may have gone to different house parties and taken three pair here, four pair there. Some women might even be embarrassed even to report it.” (Check out his mug shot.) Full Story.
Sony makes Playstation 2 on one chip
From the Inq article: “Not long ago everyone was cooing at the achievement that was the Playstation 2. Its graphics chip and CPU seemed hugely complicated affairs. Indeed, there was a fear that they might be too complicated for programmers to get to grips with. Now, all of that complexity has been shoved onto a single piece of silicon. The new all-in-one chip will be produced on a 90nm embedded DRAM process. The Graphics Synthesiser will keep its 4MB of RAM onboard thanks to the process. The packaged chip will run at the 294MHz of the EmotionEngine, the CPU component of the Playstation 2.”
Screw the Playstation 3. It ain’t coming out until 2007 or so anyway. I’d like to see 4 of the Playstation 2 chips running in parallel in one box (they’ll use less power — the new one-chip solution uses 8-watts, while the two-chip solution used 37-watts), and then games would smoke (as the PS2 chip is already a really nice chip).
Free Porn, Britney Spears, KaZaa, Atkins Diet, and the Iraq War
Just as an experiment to see how much Google juice this site has (as it seems to have a bunch lately, without me trying), I’m putting “Free Porn” as the headline of this story, as well as a couple other terms from the and the Google Zeilgeist. If John C. Dvorak’s experiences are any indication, the traffic to this listing should go up quite a bit, even though there is no Free Porn or any of the above crap any where on this site (Gregg’s entry is about as close as you’ll find).
Comments are slow
Yes, I know the comments are slow, and posting comments is slow as heck. I’m looking into it, and have upgraded SimpleComments to version 1.1 and that should (in theory) help. I’m working on some other bottlenecks, but the Simplecomments upgrade has helped a bit.
8 Days in an Iraqi prison
From Al’s Morning Meeting: “I put this item first today for a reason. Take the time to read this Newsday series by journalist Matthew McAllester. Matt and photojournalist Moises Saman were arrested and held in prison in Iraq. Matt says he had a moral obligation to cover this war. He is heading back to Baghdad now, as are several of the others who were arrested.”
This is a fascinating, first-person account, and well worth the read.
It’s nearly May, and there is 4 inches of snow on the ground
OK, this is just sick. I woke up this morning, and drove to work and there was 4-inches of snow on the side of the road. Amazing. When is Spring going to get here?
POPFile
Ok, I’ve posted this before, but my POPFile hit 99.01% accuracy today at the office.
The only false positives (legitimate email flagged as spam) I get now are poorly written requests for my companys advertising rates.
You can download POPFile for free here: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/. It works with most email clients, but not webmail.
