Ahh, the Rosetta Stone for Unix: need to know how to find the hardware configuration of a Solaris server, and you only remember the AIX commands? Look no further.
Last night some cock-nozzle from the Home Warranty Scam company called.
“Hi, I’m Bob with Home Buyer’s Warranties!!! I just wanted to let you know that your home warranty coverage ends at the end of this month.”
“Oh, EXCELLENT!”
“Uh.. well I was calling to see if you wanted to renew it?”
“Absolutely not. I’d rather be mauled by wild dogs.”
“… Er..”
“MAULED. By DOGS. As in.. EATEN.”
“So you weren’t happy with the service?”
“I was exhilarated. Don’t ever call me again.” Click.
Sam introduced me to Firestarter FX, which is a nice little CD-burning app for OSX.
It supports the following features:
Backs up CDs that neither Apple’s Disc-Copy nor Roxio Toast can backup.
iso and cue/bin support.
Overburning.
iso and cue/bin image creation.
2-click folder backup.
2-click CDRW erase.
Simulation.
Customizable RAM cache.
High speed burning.
Buffer under-run technology.
Multi-session burning.
Paranoia audio-cd ripping, for best error protection copy.
CDDB access to automatically create CD-TEXT data.
CD-TEXT reading and writing with drives that support it.
And all this for the low, low price of zero.
Given the steady pace of advancements in medical technology, suppose that at some point in the future, deaths due to old age and illness was no longer common, if even possible.
Suppose that technology was then applied to pets. This seems reasonable to me, since people love their pets. Also, a lot of times medicines are tested on animals before humans, so the treatments might be easier to apply to pets.
I wonder, how smart could a dog or a cat get after it had lived for 100 years or more?
Our pets could be ‘upgraded’ to perform roles their physiology could never have handled in the past. Imagine having a dog that also acts as a trusted, intelligent advisor, that has been genetically engineered to act as both pet and PDA. Forget your PC, how about the new iDog?
The Bible, as IRC.

A while back, I suggested we paint the bathroom green, because anything would’ve been better than the nasty, soul-sucking blue-grey that the bathroom had been painted in since the early 70s.
At the time, I was joking, but I think it turned out quite nicely. I want to continue the Tiki theme, adding a bamboo print border, and eventually replacing the toilet and bathtub with rattan replicas. Within a few years, perhaps I can make defecating in my bathroom a truly tropical experience, replete with strange diseases and mysterious insects eager to inflict and explore supporating wounds.
Now where would I get some tigers for under the lavatory?
For those of you who come here looking for information on “where to purchase Aerogel”, check out MarkeTech International.
It’s about $1000 for a 4″ x 8 x 0.5″ block. Too bad I don’t own the patent.
