2/9 Dear married men, what do you do with your porn? Do you hide them,
look at them openly, or throw them away? What's the best way to
deal with the issue of um, she keeps having headache or
just doesn't feel like it?
\_ http://tinyurl.com/bcjol
\_ If those are your real life issues, your smallest concern should be
your porn collection. You should be worried about your failing
marriage as well as who she is screwing if it isn't you.
\_ Internet, dude! Hardcopy is so... lacking. And, yes, it's okay for
married men to masturbate.
\_ Yep, cool by me. He should keep his cock in his hand getting
off to net porn while someone else is banging his wife. Good
plan! There's some sort of Darwin thing going on there. I like
it.
\_ Your odd assumption that she's somehow not satisfied betrays
your lack of understanding of how Real Life with mature
adults actually works.
\_ Odd assumption? Read the OP again. "she keeps having
headache or just doesn't feel like it". Maybe you think
your wife really does just have lots of headaches that
mysterious occur only when you're horny, but out here in
Real Life Land, mature adults with headaches are banging
the milkman. You have betrayed your lack of understanding
of how English works.
\_ You are confusing Real World with Real Life. In Real
Life, having a headache or a decreased sexual appetite
usually has roots in issues other than cheating. If
your experience has invariably been otherwise, stop
marrying unbalanced wrecks.
\_ Cheating isn't the root. Cheating is the result
of an unhappy sexless marriage. You're confusing
cause and effect. You continue to betray your lack
of understanding of the English language.
\_ Physician, heal thyself. OP wonders what to do
when wife says she has a headache or doesn't feel
like it. He doesn't say this happens all the time.
He implies that he wants advice on what to do when
he's horny but his wife is not. Nothing in his
post implies cheating. The correct response to
his question is, have a wank and get over it.
\_ I know he didn't say she's cheating. *I* said
she's cheating or soon will be. The correct
response is figure out what's wrong with your
marriage if your marriage is such a mess you
think you need *motd* help to figure out your
porn/sex-with-wife issues. If he isn't taking
care of her needs, someone else will. |

2/10 history of the SF BURRITO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Burrito - danh
\_ From a linked page:
Even the legendary taquerias are changing. "In '79 and '80, Anglo
families were chased out of taquerias. There was no way there was
gonna be any gentrification back then," says Felipe Velez, an
assistant teacher at Real Alternatives Program high school. But now
even the taquerias are changing. "At El Castillito, they're wearing
uniforms now," Velez says. "They're charging for chips and salsa. I
will shoot my son and daughter if they ever order a green burrito."
OK, seriously, this reminds me of "I remember back when women weren't
allowed out of the house. I'd beat my wife if she ever asked for
anything" And this is a teacher!

"El Castillito charges for chips now too, 75 cents,
just like El Farolito, only at least El Farolito gives
you a fairly generous amount. El Castillito gave me a
handful or so, wedged into the same basket as the
burrito. Fuck that shit. If I'm paying separately for a
burrito and chips, I want a basket for the burrito and a
basket for a whole basketful of chips.
Add it up: $3.48, 75c, 75c, $1.15, that's $6.13. (Same
exact meal used to add up to $4.20 in the not-so-distant
glory days.) Then the guy behind the cash register
rolled his eyes when I handed him a twenty, asked all
aggravatedly if I had anything smaller.
Yeah, man. I did. I had a five." -tom |

2/10 "Spyware Barely Touches Firefox"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20060210/tc_cmp/179102616
"Internet Explorer users can be as much as 21 times more likely to end
up with a spyware-infected PC than people who go online with Mozilla's
Firefox browser, academic researchers from Microsoft's backyard said in
a recently published paper."
\_ I hate made up statistics like "21x more likely to!!!!". There are
many reasons for this such as the generally higher clue level of
people who know enough to make an active decision to install/use an
alternative browser (or have someone smart set it up for them) which
means the machine is better maintained in general and the user is
less likely to download and run freeporn.exe from spywarez.ru. Yes,
IE is a piece of crap, but FF has it's own problems and there are
many ways for shitware to get on a box.
\_ yes, but. working in IT, I've never had a problem with spyware
on machines running firefox as the main browser. with IE
sometimes you don't have to click the misleading message to
accidentally hose your system... sometimes you just need to go
to the wrong site in your daily google searching. no matter
what problems FF has, it doesn't change the fact that IE is a
total piece of crap.
\_ Absolutely true. But as I said above, the browser isn't the
only way and clue level is just as important, if not more so.
The loud mouthed sales moron always had porn popups but the
equally clueless marketing chick didn't because she didn't
run freeporn.exe every morning. User behavior.
\_ it's the same users going to the same sites. It's just
that with FF I haven't had to spend as much time fixing
hosed computers. -pp
\_ Did you actually read the article? The study was not a survey of
infection rates from internet ussers out there who install or
don't install browsers themselves. The IE and Fx test machines
were set up by the same two professors and their two grad
students.
\_ A survey of infection rates would be more useful than 2 bored
grad students surfing the net. At least then we could pretend
it was an "all else being equal" and "we used a large enough
sample size to..." argument.
\_ They didn't surf the net themselves. They used web
crawlers to do the surfing. (So they didn't get to enjoy
the porn while doing official work.)
\_ The result is pretty clear; if you go to the same set of
randomly-selected sites with unpatched IE and unpatched
Firefox, you're much more likely to get spyware on the
IE machine. If you want to do a different study, do it.
-tom
\_ "with unpatch IE and unpatched Firefox". What a
useless study. How about a study of what happens to
unpatched Linux machines on the net? Equally useless.
\_ A lot less happens to unpatched Linux machines than
unpatched Windows machines; that's the point.
(Typically an unpatched Windows machine will be
broken into within minutes of being connected to
the net, if it's not behind a firewall. -tom
\_ And it will take about 10 minutes more for the
Linux box. There's no point. Anyone who runs
an unpatched anything will very quickly get hit
with something nasty and if by some miracle they
don't, they'll run freeporndialer.exe. It does
not matter in the least if it takes 5 minutes or
15 minutes for your box to get owned if you're
unpatched. A study that might have been useful
would have been patched boxes, but I suspect when
they tried that first, very little happened. I'm
highly suspicious of this 'study' of unpatched
boxes.
\_ All MS apologists are suspicious of studies
which show that Windows is a security risk.
Anyone who actually has to manage different
platforms already knows it. -tom
\_ Yep, when you're against the wall and have
nothing left to support your argument,
resort to personal attack and smear. Good
call.
\_ You have provided absolutely nothing to
support your argument. -tom
\_ The sky is still blue, academic
tests of unpatched boxes is still
stupid and you resort to personal
attack when cornered. I'm glad the
world remains predictable. BTW, how
does it feel to always be right? I
always wondered what it was like to
be perfect. Please tell us.
\_ sounds like you're the one
resorting to personal attack. -tom
\_ Tell us about perfection and
always being right, tom.
\_ Step back, man. AFAICT, tom
has been pretty technical and
succinct in expressing his
opinions. Perhaps you should
reread the thread again, man.

clueless like me what exactly

2/10 Has anyone bought tatami's to use in the living room or tea room?
How heavy are they and what are you thought? Thanks.
\_ one tatami
two tatami
three tatami
floor
\_ Yeah--they're not tremdously heavy (straw with rice filling if
made the "real" way); an average person should be able to lift
3-4 at a time without too much trouble (weight-wise; they're a bit
clumsily sized.) Make sure you plan it out well, as authentic
tatamis only come in 2 sizes (full or half) and they vary a lot
in quality and price. Best ask someone more familiar with
Japanese furniture for what to look for. -John
\_ my girlfriend sleeps in a tatami room. I can ask her when
she comes home sunday.
\_ Is she a HAWT AZN CHIX0R?
\_ My girlfriend has been sleeping like a big pig since
returning. I will ask her once she awakens from her
jet lag induced stupor.
time zone switching induced stupor.
\_ you can get real tatami's at http://www.dukaru.com , we actually
use them for sleeping, though. they were actually heavier than I
thought they would be, and are made with high quality.
\_ do they fit on a standard futon?
\_ you do know that all sort of parasites eventually live off
tatami, right? |

2/10 What was your computer configuration during your UCB years?
\_ None.
\_ 286, 5.25" disk drives
\_ 486-66, upgraded to 100MHz. Worked far better than the HPUX
machines compiling over NFS at the time (graduated in '97).
\_ hah, me too, except I also did the DX3 (33 MHz FSB) to
DX2 (50 MHz FSB) hack that was all the rage back then.
\_ 386SX-16, then a 486-66. i think i had a P133 by the end, or
shortly after UCB.
\_ 386SX-16, 4MB RAM, 185MB HD, 5.25" and 3.5" floppies, 2400baud
modem, HCG monitor, serial mouse, Epson LX-810. Worked great.
Ironically, I had a composite color monotor for my Apple II+ in my
high school days, so I "downgraded" my monitor when switching to PC.
--- Class of '93
\_ typewriter the first semester (mostly for English 1A),
then 286, then 386DX
\_ Mac SE, PowerBook 180 ('93); Quadra 650 ('95), Pentium 150
running RH3 ('97) --class of '97
\_ Mac SE -> Mac Classic II -> Mac IIcx -> Pentium II -- Class of '98
\_ why did you finally convert to the WINTEL world?
\_ I went to go buy a Powermac, and decided I was willing to
spend about $2500 bucks. I wanted to run UN*X, and figured
spend about $2500. I wanted to run UN*X, and figured
I'd be stuck running Yellowdog Linux or something. Most of
my friends ran FreeBSD, so I figured I'd at least _look_ at
what I could get for $2500 in a PC. It turned out to be like
4x the machine.
\_ P133 that I played Quake on, then a Celeron 300A @450 that I played
Half-Life on. School? yeah I think I went to some sort of classes
sometimes, kind of hazy.
\_ Commodore 128, later replaced by an Amiga3000UX. -ERic
\_ I was too poor for my own computer, so I just hung out in The Web.
\_ In my days even people who had computers had to hang out in the
Web, because there was no such thing as a PPP dialup or free X
server for Windoze. Actually, even if these two existed,
performance would be terrible over a 2400baud connection anyway.
--- Class of '93
\_ I worked 'near' the guy who was responsible for the EECS modem
bank around then and pushed hard to get everything upgraded to
9600 to no avail. He only ended up destroying half the modem
bank and oh nevermind... it hurts to think about it.
\_ 486-33. Too wimpy to even play Doom when it came out.
\_ That was perfectly sufficient for playing doom.
\_ With a math co-processor, yes. Without, no. -!op
\_ http://www.faqs.org/faqs/games/doom/RGCD-faq
"Does DOOM benefit from a FPU for floating point
calculations?
No. All calculations in DOOM 1.1 and beyond
use integers."
... so did doom 1.0 use fp?
\_ Presumably. Either that or something like a 16.16
integer representation of real numbers.
\_ First 2 years, a TI portable with 12.5MHz 286 CPU, 640KB of RAM, 40MB
hard drive and a monorchrone screen. The following 1 year 233MHz
Pentium MMX PC with 32MB of RAM, 2GB disk (made by Micron). The
remaining two years (after a long perdiod out of school), 933MHz
Dell with 512MB of RAM.
\_ ADM-3A terminal plugged into a modem for dialup access.
\_ TVI 925 dialup terminal with 1200 baud, later upgraded to 14.4! |

\_ Not directly, not. I can't claim purity, as I do own

Berkshire Hathaway, which I believe still has significant

\_ Consider switching from Berkshire to LUK (the little

berkshire, at 135B, is a little too big to find many
good picks, even with the old man's investment style.
luk, in contrast, is only 6B. |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060210/ap_on_go_ot/budget_blank_ink
I'm very confused. Haven't we be having budget deficits all these
years?
\_ That's the balance for the month of January only.
See http://www.fms.treas.gov/mts/index.html for receipts and
outlays for the last 25 years.
\_ Right. Though this report is a good January, the monthly
surpluse/deficit fluctuates. If you look at the monthly results,
the receipts spike every few months and really go up each April.
