And the rats will attract some snakes. It's a vicious cycle.Quote:

Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
Ahh I see. Sorry to doubt you, or the wisdom of the Simpsons.Quote:

This thread is going the way of the Ne-Ne if y'all don't get back on topic.
I'm going back to university and trying to re-learn C programming before I start classes in the Fall, as it's been a few years since I last worked with it.
I'm getting stuck on very basic programming exercises in the first chapter of the book. I don't know what my problem is, whether it's my poor logical thought processes, lack of knowledge of program structures and commands, or just a mental block from the last time I tried to learn C programming and it's now a psychological block to me ever learning this material.
Since I'm going for a Comp Sci degree, it concerns me a lot that I can't get the hang of programming.
a girl who was with me in the army came by the store toady, so I said hello.
I haven't seen such a look of 'get out of my life' since I've tried talking to an Ex of mine..
(alternative version)
I haven't seen such hatred and disgust in someone's eye since I've seen my reflection in the mirror.
I have a odd job today upgrading hard drives for a doctors office. Sounds easy, right? One problem: This doctors office uses a lot of expensive, proprietary software. The software vendors won't give them the discs. This means I can't just format the new drives because I don't have the software they need.
So I turn to Norton Ghost. For some reason I've had error after error after error. DriveImageXML and Clonezilla are giving me similar problems. Maybe it's because these PCs are taiwanese cheapos.
Is she hot? I've seen this powerpoint presentation that's made the rounds on the internet showing all these hot chicks in the Israeli army.Quote:

It depends on what sort of error you're talking about too. Are they all having trouble reimaging onto the new drive, or reading off the old one? Cuz the latter means the HDD is buggered with read errors already.
Taiwan makes some good computer products too. <<here be urge to revive Mizuchi's infamous quote>>
It's 92 Goddamn degrees in the house because the air conditioner is broken.
I'm in for a long, sticky night. And not in the fun way.
Screwed-up-computer-Day today.
1 computer randomly froze, another suddenly reverted to USB 1.1 ports, and the laptop's mousepad's tap and double-tap function just doesn't work anymore.
I bit into some crab last night, and the shell somehow dislodged the metal wire sitting behind my lower-front teeth. (I had braces years back, and I've still got a metal wire sitting behind there. I was allowed to take it out when I was 18.)
Originally the wire held 6 teeth in place, but the cement on the leftmost 2 have broken, and the wire sits at an awkward angle now. Since it's rigid, it now pulls/pushes on the others, numbing them.
The dentist doesn't open till Monday, and even then I'm not sure if I can get a booking :(.
Damn crab.
god....so much TMI from my roommate.... I need some xanax
I just saw the pictures of Cobra Commander in the upcoming G.I.Joe movie, and I'm pissed that they messed up. I'd settle for a faceless helmet but they had to make it "cool".
