I can get info from the census bureau about:

H.R. 1591: U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Health, and Iraq Accountability Act, 2007

Which is the supplemental Iraq spending bill.

Read it for yourself and discover the kinds of things Congress apparently believes are vital to continued fighting in Iraq!

Title II of the bill is especially enlightening.

Fanfiction.net, originally formed to distribute Harry Potter slash/fiction, was created by Josef Mengele as a means to test the limits of human endurance

That according to uncyclopedia :D

If you're going to make fraudulent charges on a credit card that will be recurring, and of a sort that suggest residency in whatever country the charge is being made, for example, a World of Warcraft account, steal the credit card info from someone who actually lives in your country. Just a thought.

84 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 sata2 hard drives, 750 gig each, with 16 meg cache buffer.

Hmmm.... 84 * 750 = 63,000 gigs. Um....

Combined effective federal and state tax rate, as a percentage of total income: 21%
As a percent of taxable income: 25%

Bastards.

And that's the effective tax rate of both returns combined. The marginal tax rates for each individually, well, I'd rather not talk about that >:(

I've heard it several times now, it's making the circuit on talk radio - they are saying that today we live not in a gilded age, but a gelded age. BWAHAHAHA!!!

Er, wait, it would be funny if it weren't so true :(
*sob*

So, ever since my company relocated from midtown to Roswell, I've been getting in real early, typically by 7am, because traffic is so bad that if I try to leave any time between 7 and 8, it will take a minimum of an hour and a half, maybe two hours, and that assumes there are no collisions, wrecks or stalls, and that Norfolk-Southern, in its infinite wisdom, isn't running a 500 car train across Pleasant Hill at Buford Hwy during peak rush hour. If you have any problems, you may as well turn

Giuliani Off the Mark on Grocery Costs

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani hasn't done a lot of grocery shopping lately -- at least based on his answers about the cost of milk and bread.

Bacon. Can you imagine having to go through life never being allowed to eat bacon? That's just inhuman! No wonder they become terrorists, being deprived of one of the best foods God put on earth!

*shudder*

Now I just feel sorry for them :-p

For those who are still wondering, what this function does is it takes a list of names that are sorted alphabetically, assigns a random number to each one, then sorts the numbers so that the names appear to be random.

If I had written it I probably would have called it RandomizeList or RandomizeNames or some such, but no, this person had to call it RandomSort.

*rolls eyes*

So, you're looking through some old code written years ago by someone long gone from the company. You stumble across a function named RandomSort(). Before even looking at what the function does, your reflexive reaction to a function name like that is?

Nobody on the left seems to be screaming bloody murder over this Barack as Jesus thing. In fact, they seem to kind of like it. As with all things, as long as it's one of their own, it's not a problem. It's only when it relates favorably to the OTHER SIDE that they have a problem with it :-p

Wait, it is Tuesday today, right? :-)

I need a yottabyte drive.

1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes, or 1024^8, or 2^80

Man, that would sure be enough diskspace to not have to give a damn about running out of diskspace on these 2 terrabyte data processing jobs.

I wonder what the seek time would be on a disk that size... :-p
