Comment Sample questions (Score 5, Funny) 149

Al-Faruq has 12 sticks of dynamite in his vest. El-waqui has 4 packs of C4. They trade 3 sticks of dynamite for 1 pack of C4.
a) Did Al-Faruq's vest weight go up or down?
b) How many infidels can each send to hell when they're a martyr?

Awan-Afuqya and Al-Suq Aweenr can destroy 1,000 feet of priceless ancient artifacts in 3.5 hours. Awan-Afuqya alone takes 6 hours. How long would it take Al-Suq to do the job alone?

M'Ballz Es-Hari made 2 IEDs yesterday, and 3 IEDs today. How many IEDs does M'Ballz Es-Hari have?

Divide 80 infidels into 3 groups such that the second group will have twice as many as the first, and the third will have 5 less than the second.

Comment When I knew OS/2 was toast (Score 4, Insightful) 387

In 94 I went to Comdex, after having used OS/2 for a year or two. Microsoft had just announced Win95 would be released in 1995, giving IBM a 9 month + window to Do Something. At Comdex I found the IBM booth and asked them something about OS/2. Got a blank look. Asked someone else. Got a blank look. Nobody in the IBM booth had even heard of OS/2, let alone was able to answer questions about it.

I knew that day that OS/2 was doomed.

Comment Within 3 years is BS (Score 1) 164

They get out, they get 3 years parole. On parole, if you look at your parole officer funny they can send you back. If your POs "workload" is too high they'll look for peeps to send back. Have a close friend or relative get sucked into the system, your attitude will almost certainly do a 180.

I'd like to see the stats for how many get sent back once they're off parole, and possibly correlate those to how many got send back for BS parole violations.

Best character ever in a game you love to hate, hands down. Love the tattoo around his neck that says 'cut here'.

Oh, article is about 4k? Sorry, I game on a PS3. Gaming on a PC is better, except that during a couple lean years I got really addicted to gaming in my La-Z-Boy with my cat in my lap, on my big-ass TV.

Comment I've got two (Score 1) 278

One has my house key, mailbox key, and bicycle key. The other has my car keys, dad's house key, storage locker key. When I ride my bike I leave the second one at home.

Started this scheme about 3 years ago when I looked at my keychain and realized I didn't know what half those keys unlocked, and of the half that were left I no longer had the lock.

Comment Been here 6 years (Score 1) 125

Have 2 options: Cox cable and AT&T Uverse. Had Cox for 6 weeks, it was utter horse stinky stuff. Switched to Uverse, first few years were good but they've been going downhill. Real close to cutting the cable this month, I expect my bill to jump up $40 this month (real close this time last year, they gave me a deal, same deal ain't good enough this time around as their service took a major hit last oct/nov).

"Digital Native" means you're obsessed with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Opentable, selfies, etc.

I was born in the 50's, bought a TRS-80 in '78 or so and have been programming ever since. Mostly device drivers, BSPs, etc.

I know more about computers than most digital natives, yet it's hard for me to get a job because I'm old, don't use FB, don't twit, don't insta, don't have a phone full of selfies, etc.
