Is Jack Daniels Old No. 7 the Premium fuel?

Jack Daniels is Tennessee whiskey, not bourbon, and any drunk from Kentucky will fight you over that. Old No. 7 isn't exactly premium anyway, try Gentleman Jack or something next time. Jim Beam is probably the most common bourbon, but you'll want something more like Maker's Mark if you're going premium.

I'm honestly curious how long it will take you to do it in C, with/without the DNS lookup. Post source if you don't mind.

Not long at all...

Irony requires some sort of lesson learned, as the character makes a decision or some deliberate action which inadvertently brings about their own downfall. If there is no self-induced lesson involved, it isn't irony, it's just unfortunate.

In this situation, for example, it would be sort of ironic if they got addicted to blogging about getting over their addiction to Facebook. Think about the classic example of irony, Oedipus. It wouldn't have been ironic (or nearly as good a story) if he didn't know his fate and actively seek to avoid it.

I'm sorry, where is the logic there?

For every Firefox, OpenOffice, or GIMP there are 1000 Wild Tangents or FREE Animated Pony screen savers. So, yes I would call that generally sucking. I feel comfortable in the fact that my doctor makes far more money than my mechanic. I've never taken my girlfriend out to a romantic dinner at the local soup kitchen. That's my logic, where is yours?
