At work, d/l a little off this morning, usually high 20's. Need to switch over to the Scrutinizer console and boot the bandwidth hogs.... <ISP (work) blacked out on purpose>

According to my non-scientific calculations, the 100th day of the year is 10 April; today's the 5th, so it looks like TAX DAY = the last possible day it can snow.

Who knew you couldn't V2V (virtual to virtual) a server that has BEA Weblogic installed, due to the stupid-assed way it compiles the server's name and IP addr when you install it? G-D Oracle and their anti-piracy measures... Thus, when you do an upgrade in the dev environment, it's also making changes in production and making it not work any longer. Oh well, guess I'll build dev from scratch. Yippee. At least restoring production only took about 30 seconds - VMWare Snapshot FTMFW. So, no, I'm not bored today....

^^^^^^ gesundheit!

^^^^^^ Thanks brother!

I was hoping for a boob to pop out. Dammit.

De nada, mi amigo! As to your question about discretion and what it has to do with anything - don't ask. His powers are beyond your understanding, my friend. Trust me. Don't ask. Don't.

His name isn't Omar, is it?

Linux motorcycle: - free - many (100's) of different models available; - does everything you could possibly want, except there are one or two specialized roads upon which it won't run (Photoshop road - take Gimp road instead); - runs great; even after 10 years of no maintenance/upgrades, nothing has failed; - boatloads of upgrades/parts available, all of them free, but you have to be a pretty good mechanic (or be willing to try something "different" and read the Haynes/O'Reilly manual) to install them and make them perform properly Windows motorcycle: - not free, 5 models to choose from (more if you include XP, Vista, and Server motorcycle); - does everything you could possibly want, runs on just about every road; - usually runs OK, but could stop being able to drive on certain roads while others are fine, or may just stop running completely for no apparent reason; - lots of upgrades/parts, some free, and don't need any mechanical ability to install them. Some, however, will cause your motorcycle to function erratically or to stop running completely - and you may not even know you installed the part! Mac motorcycle (iMotorcycle?) - not free, 1 model available (2 if you count iServer iMotorcycle); - does everything you could possibly want - runs on most roads; - looks pretty, but under the hood it looks surprisingly like the Linux motorcycle; - lots of upgrades/parts available - usually won't cause harm, and no mechanical ability needed; - black turtleneck and hipness included with every bike.

I knew I had seen that somewhere....

Sig-worthy quote right there...

How much gain can I expect if I put an OR sticker on my half-a-busa? What if I put on 2 stickers, or 3? Also, will my truck (it's a hemi, if that helps) benefit from the application of a motorcycle forum sticker?

2009 - 2200-ish from 19 August 'til December 2010 - 15 miles and counting

Just got back from the Flying J. 23 degrees + 55mph = cold, but not too awful. Roads are fine, a little windy, but nothing a little push on the bar can't fix. Lots of H-D's, a smattering of Buells, and one Suzuki...! A Goldwing trike pulled up when I was getting ready to leave. When I signed in at 10:15 I was rider #46.

pass the Fritos.

"Thingamajig" or "whozit", not "joby". Non-technical people. Geez.

There's absolutely nothing to "get over", I was simply wondering why you mentioned his religion and how it could possibly relate to the topic. Guess it was just an attempt to stir stuff up and not to actually be of any benefit. Gee, I've never seen that in ANY thread at ORdn before this one! I'm not Mormon/LDS myself (not that there's anything wrong with that)... I'm related to a Mormon by marriage, unfortunately. Unfortunate = being related to this jag-off, not being married....!

Since the painting was done by an individual with no ties to the government - not an employee thereof, and the painter received no state or federal grants for his work, I don't see how it could violate the first amendment. It seems to me that he's actually expressing his first amendment rights to free speech (speaking through his painting, as it were). Although the idea of Jesus Christ holding the Constitution might be repugnant to some, it is still the painter's right (some might say God given right, but I'm not going there) to express himself. Had he created a painting showing slavery in the United States in modern times, which would (or should) be at least equally repugnant, he would still have been within his rights to do so. What if he had depicted Jesus as a black man (or as a woman, or of Asian descent)? Would that change anyone's opinion? And where did the LDS (Mormon) reference come from, and what's it got to do with the discussion? He lives in Utah, has 8 children, and graduated from B.Y.U., but I could not find any 'official' reference to his religion. He probably is, but so what? My personal opinion - it's an OK piece of art. I would not buy it, not because of the subject, but because of the execution, the painter's style. A lot of people like that "painter of light" guy, Thomas Kinkade, but not me. Do both of them have some talent? Yes. Would I be surprised to see their works at a Holiday Inn Starving Artist sale? No. Again, just my opinion, and everyone knows what opinions are like, right?
