Chrissake, this installation is a royal pain in the ass. The number of convoluted steps is just plain crazy.

First, I have to walk through a long, loooong installation instruction for Debian here. Then I turn to the Notes on installing and running, only to end halfway with a crazy error message.

Compiling Ruby from scratch, installing cruft in /usr/local, installing something weird called RVM.... What the fuck happened to ./configure && make && make install?

I'm also interested in the reverse. Has the capability of kernel threads started you thinking about a girlfriend on the side?

Har har please someone mod that up +1 funny

Hi Rob,

God you really got out of this hell hole on time. That cocksucker from Dice Holdings walks around like he's the king or something. Chrissake he told me to come on time tomorrow! And of course sourceforge is acting up and the guys over there aren't so chummy anymore, we're just another user to them.

Say, do you remember where we put the design document on the private messages system? There's several bugs open, but CowboyNeal wrote that module so you probably have an idea of the "quality" of the code. He's a fucking monkey felcher and you know it.

Anyway, see you Saturday in town. We can talk about Kathleen and Jeff, and again, I'm sorry you had to go through her email to find out about them. I'm going to fucking kill that asshole.

Cheers
Timothy

If you're on the side of MS in this matter, then you are against the industry effort to create a Do Not Track standard.

All good questions for which one day, we will surely find a witty answer. In the meantime, my trustworthy soldier of code, COMMENCE THE DELETING!!!

Knowing Adobe, I would actually expect the service to get better.

Well, I remember yum hitting 1 GB allocated memory on RedHat 5 when updating. The lead developer told me that he couldn't do anything about that, it was just the size of the repository.

Yum is not bad, but far from a Python poster child.

He does have a point. I love Red Hat and derivatives, I program daily in Python, but you can call yum anything but speedy.

Next time I'll take a page out of your book and log my bugs anonymously :)

Nice! The wife has been adamantly polishing her moral compass until it shined. So bright that my idea of a girlfriend on the side got completely blotted out in the radiance. These scientist could help and adjust her moral compas somewhat, so I can get back some of the fun in my life!

Note that my own moral compass points to the gutter, thus it doesn't need adjustment.

See, this is why I don't log bugs. The chance is just too big where some neckbeard poisons my mountain dew and throws my body in the dumpster, just to fix this bug in peace.

You should treat it like any other thing that you normally insure, in my opinion. The first question whether to insure is, can I pay for repairing myself, out of pocket?

If yes, don't insure. That's my personal policy.

Last year my iPhone 3G broke (somehow I lost all phone reception), but money was really tight at that point in time. So I bought a cheap Samsung android phone which basically is specced the same as a 3GS. However the battery is replaceable... I bought three extra batteries and when travelling, I always have a bunch of fully-charged batteries. This is such a useful thing when you're travelling, that I'm really doubting whether to go back to an iPhone again. (I do have an iPad).
