- RAID doesn't protect against your worst enemy: rm -r *

- nor is it supposed to. not being a moron seems to have protected me from "my worst enemy" just fine. RAID has protected me from random disk failures. seems to be working as designed

This project hangs on a thread. I don't know if they'll be able to pull it off or knot. They have to make sure they don't get tied up on this setback. It really could unravel any day.

I'm a frayed knot.....

OK, does anyone know? How many XP do you get for killing a Level 3 network?
Not much. But it does drop packets after it dies....

ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS! Alles touristen und non-technischen looken peepers! Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.

The debugger allowed us to place a breakpoint immediately after the call to VerifyPassWord(), upon which we entered a fictional password and changed the return value 0 in the register to 1.

A friend of mine was swimming in a lake in the eighties and some ball lightening appeared. It bounced along the surface of the lake near him, scaring him and others on the lake beach somewhat as he raced to the shore.

It dissipated shortly after he got out, and he went straight to the lakeside bar to get a drink, touched the proffered glass, and it exploded. Other than that and a healthy dose of 'holy fuck', he had no ill effects.

That's not ball lightening, that's just shrinkage. Happens to men when they're swimming all the time. Usually not when the water's in the eighties though.

It dissipated shortly after he got out

Yeah, that's typical too.

And why we're at it, let's get rid of all paper currency, replacing it with coins in the following denominations: $1, $5, $20, $50. Then we can stop printing money to replace all those torn dollar bills.

You can't fold a dollar coin in half and stick it behind a G-string.

That will not be missed as alternative coin-reception techniques have been developed.
"Juicies" in the Phillipines have perfected a very entertaining way of picking up stacked change
from atop a San Miguel bottle. The more skillful can return the stack coin-by-coin.
