9/4     I'm seriously very happy Soda no longer runs FreeBSD.
        FreeBSD is really going down the tubes

        \_ funny, I dont remember it geting pwned anywhere near as many tmies
           as it has since the switch to Linux.  And that blog post is
           only abou the installer, not the running OS
           \_ Aren't you amused that a total dipshit is about to maintain
              sysinstall ?
              \_ wouldn't know.  Hard to say that there aren't dipshits
                 "maintaining" any other ones.
        \_ you dunno how close you came to being on plan 9.
        \_ I'm pretty sure Soda will be running Windows 7 in
           no time, given the lack of UNIX interests these days.
           Kids today don't even know who Reagan is let alone
           the Star Wars project.

9/4     Why do they even bother saving Mt. Wilson Observatory from the
        fire in Los Angeles? I mean, can they even see stars in the
        fog of smog?
        \_ You're an idiot. Not only does the Observatory have historical
           value, but there is still a lot of research that goes on up
           there including the Solar Observatory, the CHARA Array, and
           the Infrared Spatial Interferometer run by some university
           in Berkeley, California.
        \_ besides, the observatories are pretty much above the Smog. What
           contains and concentrates the smog in LA is the very mountains
           that the observatories are on.

9/4     Man, this economist article on sex-offenders uses some interesting
        graphics.

        \_ I only get the first one (woman's body shape). I don't
           get the rest. I must be stupid, or just sexually innert.
           \_ The second one is a woman's body as well and the third is
              a hand holding a briefcase.
           \_ I saw the frist one as gotse, the second as a guy going down on a
              lady.
           \_ I'm the opposite.  I got that the second one is a man inside a
              woman, but I missed the woman shape in the first one (I only saw
              the bent jail bars.)

9/4     RIP Idan...the best soul i have known.  And the best security
        researcher ever...He will be missed beyond words.  He died at
        a rave in italy 50m from his tent and was found blue and dead in the
        morning.
