Last quote/link for a while:
"Blind Date's" writers then add their own schadenfreude-inspired humor to the proceedings through the clever use of superimposed thought bubbles and diagrams meant to illustrate all the nasty thoughts that the daters, or at the very least, viewers, must, invariably, be thinking." -- Salon

More about that killall command. Interesting point: "But the $15 question remains: would you board an airplane designed by, say, 2nd year biology student as a night-time hobby? So what makes you think their software design skills are any better?"

Those are fighting words to [IBM technology strategist Irving] Wladawsky-Berger, who clearly doesn't regard Sun as being in IBM's league -- or in Microsoft's either. "For Sun to say when it comes to software you have two choices, Microsoft and Sun, is like saying when it comes to world powers you have two choices, the U.S. and Tajikistan." Then he pauses: "Maybe I am not being fair -- the U.S. and Romania." [Business 2.0 article]

 Jonathon Delacour: "What makes the photo booth pictures (formally) interesting is that they are framed as mirror images, except that the women have changed places so that each appears in the foreground of one photo and the background of another. The real interest is, however, in the pair rather than the single images; in the juxtaposition of two portraits of two women, happily mugging for a camera without an operator, as it records a tiny sliver of 'the endless variety of the objective female world.'"

My thesis is now at 95 pages. It's missing pictures, summary verbiage, and my advisor's approval.
I think I'd call this the rough draft.
Sweet.

I'm hungry.
For all the benefits of having someone else fix food for me, it's really inconvenient that they aren't open when I'm awake.

The WP's business section notes that Consumer Reports, the venerable magazine dedicated to protecting shoppers everywhere, came upon a great idea: In return for subscribing to the magazine, new readers were sent free auto-safety kits that included flashlights and tire-pressure-gauges. There was only one problem, actually two: The pressure-gauges are prone to inaccurate readings and the flashlights tend to overheat (a couple of people complained of burns). CR has recalled both items. [Slate / Today's Papers]
