At least we can be sure that Mr. Morrison believed in something that ended up flying in his face.

Ducted fans, huh? That's not flying, that's just beating the air into submission.

Surfers the world over are happy that the threat of power plants hogging their tasty waves isn't quite as gnarly now.

And since this post was originally about SSH, why not add '-e ssh' to tunnel rsync over a secure connection?

Comment Gnome 3 made me do it (Score 1) 249
Just upgraded to Fedora 15 on this ancient ThinkPad R40, but its integrated video lacks the horsepower to run Gnome 3. I've reluctantly switched to the bloated KDE 4, which has the most annoying toolbar ever conceived. I'll switch back to Gnome when this box finally conks out.
Designer Builds Coffin For Xbox's Suffering RROD 118
angry tapir writes "The Xbox 360 RROD coffin was created by Aussie designer Alexis Vanamois, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's the ultimate final resting place for 'bricked' Xbox 360 consoles that have suffered the Red Ring of Death; it even has a cavity for your controller!"

Yeah, really. I stick with it because my office is a Redhat shop and this lets me stay close to the Redhat layout and such but still have the option to update and install new stuff to keep my own systems bleeding edge.

Journal Journal: How quaint!
Today while cleaning out an obscure desk drawer at home, I set aside a stack of old 1.44" diskettes, wrapped in a rubber band. My 11 year old son wandered in and picked them up. He studied them for a few moments before inquiring what they were. I explained as best I could but couldn't demonstrate them because none of the machines in my home now have diskette drives. Could it be that time is moving by that fast? Maybe I ought to dig up some old 5 1/4" floppies and really blow his mind...

Details, details... The fact that they are self-propelled missiles would get them a little farther than 5 feet. Granted, they'd need to be outfitted with bigger fins for guidance, but what do you think this is? Rocket science?
Dvorak Rants on CSS 522
John Dvorak writes on CSS after working on redesigning his weblog, the article ended up being extremely funny. From the write-up:
As we move into the age of Vista, multimedia's domination on the desktop, and Web sites controlled by cascading style sheets running under improved browsers, when will someone wake up and figure out that none of this stuff works at all?!

The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
