“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Haha, yeah. With any luck it will also attract some rats in addition to the birds!
And the rats will attract some snakes. It's a vicious cycle.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Which will in turn attract gorillas, which simply freeze to death in the winter.
Not sure why you think snakes attract gorillas. You'd have a bigger problem with mongooses and birds of prey joining the party after snakes enter the picture.

The whole sequence is a variation on a quote from an old Simpson's episode. Bart raises two eggs from a nest where he killed the mother bird, and predatory lizards hatch from the eggs instead. They start to eat all the pigeons in Springfield, and the following exchange occurs:
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.

For making a Simpsons reference, and making the internet a less oppressive place to while away our worthless lives, I present Ryllharu with this scented candle.

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..

I haven't seen such hatred and disgust in someone's eye since I've seen my reflection in the mirror.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
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.
What kinds of errors? Regardless of where the PCs were made, the hardware should behave the same and the drive imaging software shouldn't have a problem...

in worst case the image file is broken...

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.

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".
