DISQUS

Testing Discus with IE6

If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Dropping out of lurker mode...

As a white dude, I totally had to laugh at the following comment:

"Seeing how the Caucasian girls couldn’t offer anything more to her..."

Oh, we have all been there before. A little collection of girls who should be helping are just sitting there staring.

"I didn’t know if I should pity her or be angry with her…"

She is the proverbial fish out of water -- and one who has just took a tumble down a flight of stairs. If she's crazy enough to get into a car with some stranger, I am sure she's still in shock-mode. Luckily for her, you were not.

As a doctor (and someone seemingly never learned to shave his own face correctly) I agree that the face likes to bleed and bleed.

You did the right thing... for no clear reason other than just doing the right thing.

Bravo to you.

lol.

Please post this with the pic to the front page.

What was the issue?

You are quoting all my research I did for you! You B!

:)

Actually, every good blog post about high-def TVs should use Bale's image.

The money spent feeding the TV is an excellent point that I never really thought about.

My one additional gem...

Most people who I know who do not like high-def television do not like the way *standard* definition programming appears on their new set. Most cable systems have more standard definition channels than high-def. Because of this, most people will still watch standard-def at least 50% of the time.

If your standard def looks horrible, you are not going to be happy. Good sets will make standard def look good.

If you can't find a store that will show you everything you want to know, just look around the avsforum. Those guys know 10 times more than any normal user would ever need to know.

Microsoft's attempt to make a cute, little helpful avatar just has haunted them from the day they launched it.

What's scary is that it is still out there in a way. Microsoft Agent is out there for anybody to use and enjoy.

The beast lives...

Thanks, Scoble. You've always been kind to me in our email dealings. I'll be glad to add to your feed bloat:

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/davak/

I discuss the running of tech-recipes.com, give my opinions on tech-related issues, and occassionally debunk hot medical BS posted around the blog world.

I'll be adding a lot of the guys/gals above to my reader tonight.

Thanks for the update... we miss you guys.

Cool. Thanks.

Q:

It sounds like ZFS is pretty complex. Is this an upgrade that the average OSX user should put into effect?

I know that it's not tech-related, but it is RECIPE related! Promoted to the front page you go!

Wow! Pictures on the front page of tech-recipes! We haven't had that in a while.

Absolutely amazing photography. Love it!

Welcome back, buddy. I know you were really feelin like dirt. Been sick can be a real pain in the neck. ;)

The Zune rollout has been a complete disaster.

You are completely right... this is one of the many exceptions to the rule that "any press is good press."

"'I’d hit it' is for anything you think is good."

Is it really that generic now? I believe the more common usage is that "hit" is really a euphemism for sex.

I can't believe I am about to link to the urban dictionary...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=...

I am not trying to be clever. I can just imagine some awkward moments in front of one's children...

Son:"Hey, Dad... I want to ride that pony."
Dad:"I'd hit it"
Son: Mouth hanging open for 15 seconds.
Mom: “O RLY!”

The predicated amount of presbycusis?

:)

Well, all I know is that there should be a bunch of t-shirts given out for a thread this awesome. If I were not at work, I would be bouncing the thread to the front page of techrx too.

Great discussion guys. I'll keep waiting for the imaginary time discussion next...

Awwwwhhhhh, shucks. I wanted to play!

:)

Yeah, that's what Robbie said.

The first time I learned the magic of dilution was in my surgery rotation.

This guy was shot in his abdomen and had stool in places that stool shouldn't be. We were washing out his belly when one of the other medical students said, "Why not just give him antibotics?"

And the surgeon said, "The solution to pollution is dilution."

Classic.

My excellent mechanic is the man who deserves all the props. Other than he only officially works on American cars, he is the most amazing mechanic I have ever known.

Q:
We need to fix him up an official tech-recipes swag packet...

I would rather see your screen being filled full of code than your little mug staring back at me. With the look on your face, you could be reading digg or slashdot or something else as far I know.

But looking over your shoulder while you code... that would be amazing.

Well, not really. I would be asking you questions every 5 minutes and then you really wouldn't get anything accomplished.

Also, if I could see you face while we chatted, I would likely be crushed to find out that you are not really lol'ing when you type "lol".

Enjoy the mac. I'll sadly watch you slip further and further to the darkside.
