"Whine, whine, whine. We're Florida and Michigan. We got caught cheating and had our votes taken away. It's unfair that we can't give all of our votes to Hillary because she was the only candidate who tried to help us cheat. It looks like they'll let us cheat again in every future election, but we only get to give Hillary half of our votes now and ( Read more... )

Here I am in Missouri, sitting in a fancy hotel the taxpayers are paying for, waiting for the conference to start the day after tomorrow. I was given a choice between giving a standard talk or doing a poster at the welcome reception. While most people think talks are more prestigious, this particular reception will involve wine and bring out lots ( Read more... )

"(Whine) (whine) you guys are going to destroy the world."

And more whining

"I don't want to be eaten by a black hole. Booo-hooo." Come on people, stop being sissies. The end of the world wouldn't be all that bad. It would mean we'd never have to watch another Rob Schneider movie! Come on. I double dog dare them to turn it on!

Today, years worth of chlorine in the Naperville water finally ate through the cartridge behind the shower faucet (if that's the right terminology - that's how the plumber described it). A nifty $400 repair job later and we're back up and running ... for at least 90 days, which is how long the warranty lasts for ( Read more... )

Why the hell can't I just write working code and have it work? If I have class A and class B and class C and blah blah, and I compile their asses, why can't I link the shared object libraries that get shat out, include the .h files and write code that uses all the classes? Why does g++ insist on the lies ( Read more... )

It's great to be reminded that there are parts of the world where people don't sit around inside all day except for when they're sitting in cars. It's great to remember that there are places where people walk to the store and where they bike to work and take the cheap bus service wherever they want to be. It's great to remember that the ocean is ( Read more... )
