I'm living in Japan for 3 years now and 90% of the people i see in the streets (any age!) have at least some misaligned/missing/black/rotten/decayed/cavity-laden but untreated teeth.... o_O

This must be some extreeeeeeemely advanced piece of software engineering, because for me, all of them would score lower as they open their mouths T__T

PS: Did i say something about their breath? and did i say i see those pretty teeth in a lot of women too? no wonder why girls cover their mouths here when they smile here (cultural thing my ass :D)

Cool solution, BTW, if you don't have an AT case and power supply, you can 'emulate' that hardware switch behavior even with an ATX case:

  1- Get the main 20/24-pin atx molex and use a clip or a small piece of wire to patch permanently the only _green_ (atx power sens) wire to any black wire (GND) or if you don't care about reusing the power supply, ditch the molex, insulate everything else and twist the green and one black wires together, and insulate.

  2- If you have any cruft inside this case (old cdrom drives/motherboard) remove everything and put only the hard drives for extra air flow :)

  3- wire with sata-2-esata adapters or very long sata cables.

  4- Turn on your 'JBOD' with the power supply's back power switch (AT-like behavior)

  5- ????

  6- Profit??

Emigrate to Brazil, dude! your savings will DOUBLE at least [considering you earn in US Dollars] and we have an extremely advanced health plan, we`re the ones who transplant the most, and the most diverse kinds of organs, etc etc etc

Our medical system is great and corrupted, so if you have money, it`s GREAT only, no worries about dying earlier than expected due to a disease that `s unknown or untreatable in Brazil due to lack of knowledge, our medics have 150 million of poor people to use as study material/cannon fodder!

Drinking some Piña Coladas while hitting on younger, poorer women (just great! yeeehaw!)

If you come to Rio, you`ll have a nice ambient, where people are caring with foreigners (unlike Japan, which i`ve already lived) AND more Bossa Nova (i know you like it) than your ears can listen to!

See you around....

Comment: are switches/cables really that BITCHY?? (Score 1) 524

by cadu (#27668523) Attached to: Should Network Cables Be Replaced?

Im questioning it because here where i live (rented apartment, cant pass cabling) i have a 30M cable being passed between the "router room" and my room, its clipped thru all the house ceiling.... then it goes down the all and plugs direclty into my computer (i know this is hackish but im not living here forever)....

The thing is , once i ran over this cable with a really heavy thing and it broke, near my computer end...cut an inch of the cable , over the part that was broken, tested conectivity with a multitester and a clip and then resoldered the then untwisted wires....wrapped everything up, did a loop in that part of the cable so you cant move the "harmed" part and snap the poorly soldered wires and shoved electrical tape

from a linux machine on the other side...i copy /dev/zero [using samba]...9.7MB/s [100mbit link]... so what the fsck with all you guys and your sad experiences with these things....its running like this for 3 years , no problems at all, no nothing.

if i'm missing something please explain ;)
