Unfortunately, Everything works on local NTFS volumes only. Half a terabyte in my Vista setup is on USB drives that are FAT volumes. Worse, it only searches file names. No wonder it's fast and low-overhead. I usually need in-file searching. Vista's built-in search is actually pretty good. Very fine-grained control over indexing and it's easy to search in files with or without indexing. Everything, well, isn't really everything.

Or, maybe its like PHP. A recursive acronym. Here's an example you can run from my Dropbox account. IT'S (ha!) named (of course) "TITS". If you're using the BetterPrivacy plugin for Firefox (or something similar), you'll have to disable it or the page is blocked (I guess it doesn't like HTML files named "TITS.html" -- and BTW, BetterPrivacy, what does "TITS" have to do with my privacy?).

Here's a description of what it does (and how it does it):

function TITS(String theBigT, Number bandSize, String cupSize)

Called from an HTML FORM that allows the user to select combinations of band size (ribcage size) and cup size (ahem...). The available band sizes (in inches) are: 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. The available cup sizes (in letter code) are: "AA". "A", "B", "C", "D" and "DD". The greater the band size, the larger the font. The greater the cup size, the brighter the font color. The idea being that 40AA, while large in font size, is still kind of hard to see. Whereas 30DD, while tiny in font size, is still quite visible. And, 30AA? Well, you really gotta look for 'em!

The recursion is controlled by band size. So, a band size of 38 will result in the acronym being recursively generated 38 times.The resulting string is displayed like so:

"TITS TITS TITS...(34 more TITS)...TITS"

It ain't very scientific (or even useful), but it's kind of fun (and a little creepy too -- oh, well).

At last, all that college has paid off!!

"Hi, Mrs. Vader! Is Darth up yet? Can he come out to play?"

This news just in... A tragedy today at Fort Bragg where an entire platoon was wiped out by a single lightening bolt. One witness commented, sobbing, "It just fried 'em in mid-step!"

Ha! Lawrence Welk. My mother (and no, I'm not going to tell you her real name) was a Lawrence Welk Champagne Lady (his band's lead female vocalist) back in the 1940's. Small world.

That's what I like about /. It gives dicks like you a place to demonstrate their stupidity for all the (geek) world to see. From WordWeb :

Adjective: equipt
1. Provided or fitted out with what is necessary or useful or appropriate: "a well equipt playground"

...common abbreviation for the word "equipment"...

Nope. Searched the Web and never found a reference to that. I admit that I didn't look at all 3,760,000 hits Google produced. Maybe you're the one who needs to do a little research. Oh, wait. That's something a dick would never do. GTFO yourself, asshole.

Well, no. Actually what I'm saying is that I (me) chose to buy clocks and a wristwatch that allow me to take advantage of a very useful (to me) service provided by the U.S. government.

Of course, I might have made that choice because the U.S. government brainwashed me by inserting mind-control messages in my TV's vertical blank period.

And you're not up at 2AM? Hand over your /. membership card right now, please.

And here's an actual fact: the U.S. government continually broadcasts the correct time no matter where you are (in the U.S., of course). They (I believe one source is the U.S. Navy) do it by broadcasting a radio signal that, when received by the appropriately-equipt clock/watch, will set that device to the correct time based on an atomic clock maintained by the U.S. government.

All you need to do to take advantage of this service is, when you next go clock/wristwatch shopping, make sure to ask if they have a product that features this capability (they should, even Walmart sells 'em). Most of the clocks in my house have this feature (wall clock, clocks in my computers -- the computers get the Navy time over the Internet, not via radio). Even my wristwatch (Casio) has a little radio receiver in it tuned to the government's time broadcast. Not only does this keep your watch accurate, it takes care of all of the DST stuff too. It's kind of fun to watch the wall clock get the "change DST" signal and "spin" its hands to the correct time (my wall clock can't "spin" backwards, so it has to make 11 complete revolutions in the fall). Hey, I'm easily entertained, what can I tell you?

I can set my wall clock, my computer clocks and even my wristwatch to ignore the DST signal (as someone pointed out, some states in the U.S. -- Arizona is one, I believe -- don't abide by the DST convention). In addition, there doesn't seem to be any huge premium charged for this feature. The radio-equipt clock on my wall only cost $20USD and my radio-equipt Casio wristwatch cost just $38USD.

So what was the "problem" again?

P.S. I can't believe Firefox's spell checker couldn't spell "equipt." I know the more commonly used word ("equipped") has the same meaning and Firefox could spell that version. But, c'mon, gang: "equipt" is two-characters shorter!

Anyone living on or near the equator?
