Just curious here, Joey... but was #12 right?

#12 is right more often than almost anyone I've known (not that I know him -- and, aside from myself, of course).

Right about what?

That your standard answer is "switch to Linux"

 

That your standard answer is "switch to Linux"

I've made no secret that I consider Windows malware, and this is for very considered and technical reasons. I'm the go-to IT guy for all my friends & family. They used to have all sorts of problems until I converted each of them to Linux. They have been quite happy since (and not so poor, either).

This is not the whole reason why I am pro-Linux/anti-MS. All I have to do is look at my server logs each morning to remind me of the MS worms crawling all over the net. It is a majority of my traffic.

I'm very interested in what you have to say. If you have the time, of course. Also, I'd start a thread about that subject later on.

 

Americans should be ashamed. We've eaten so many millions of Buffalo wings that many kids today have never seen a buffalo fly.

Not even close to extinction. They are all in cage farms now - like chickens. How many kids have seen a simple chicken?

This ol' boy and his wife are in court. She's accused of domestic abuse.

Judge: "So, if I understand this, you beat up your husband with his own guitars?"
"That's right, judge."
"First offender?"
"Heck no. I stunned him with the Gibson, then hit him with the Fender."

 

This ain't no joke... but it sure sounds like one:

"His stupidity didn’t stop him from returning the next day for another fill up."

So all the buffalo I've ever seen have been dewinged? Poor critters.

Yup, that last plate of Buffalo Wings you witnessed getting served actually grounded about 8 of these beautiful creatures.

My wife takes an opposing view, however. She wouldn't mind if every last one was in a cage. Her most recent encounter with a 'flerd' (flock/herd) of flying buffalo made a real mess on her windshield.

Looking at the pictures above, could it be possible that you ate the wings before assembly?

 

 

On that note....

 

A man received a message from his Mexican neighbor:
"Sorry Sir, I am using you wife day and night, when you are not present at home.
In fact, much more than you do...
I confess this now because I am feeling very much guilty.
I hope you will accept my sincere apologies."

The man shot the wife...

A few minutes later he received another message:
"Autocorrect: I meant to write wifi, not wife, Sorry!"

Well... other than the neighbor being mexican... I thought it was funny...

 

From footnote #47 (refering to an equation by de Broglie) in the book ATOMIC WAKENING -- A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Power by James Mahaffey (Pegasus Books):

My introduction to this concept as an undergraduate was followed by a test, in
which we were directed to find the wavelength of a rogue elephant approaching
at 19 miles per hour. "What's the mass of an elephant?" we whined. "Estimate
it," we were told. First, assume a spherical elephant....


p.s. I am reading a borrowed copy of this book and will likely end up buying my own copy.
