Computer Geeks.com has Led Zeppelin as their hold music. That's the first time I've ever sat on hold, hoping the tech wouldn't pick up the line yet. He interrupted "Fool In the Rain" to tell me they're going to replace my flash drive. I almost wanted to ask him to put me back on hold until the next song came on, but... I still have other calls to make, and I can load up some Zeppelin on iTunes.

"I bought CommentSpammerCS at Circuit City, it spams any MT, WP, GM, or Blogger install right out of the box. So far its worked to bring amazing traffic to my site. "

Each day, I discover that I love Sleater-Kinney a little more.

From the dhcpd(8) man page:

Note: We get a lot of complaints about this. We realize that it would be nice if one could send a SIGHUP to the server and have it reload the database. This is not technically impossible, but it would require a great deal of work, our resources are extremely limited, and they can be better spent elsewhere. So please don't complain about this on the mailing list unless you're prepared to fund a project to implement this feature, or prepared to do it yourself.
God I love open source software. That shit is priceless, and is commonly referred to as a patch-or-fork response to bitching and moaning from people who are using free software in the free beer sense.
Free-as-in-free-speech software is free to be updated by whomever wants to update it. That means that if you have a problem with it, you're openly invited to fix it yourself. Unless you're not prepared to do so, in which case you're openly invited to either shut your mouth or open your wallet and pay for something else.
Long live the techno-hippies.

Comments:
"Would it be a $30 fee to patch and a $50 fee to fork? "

"You forgot about the $60 project diagnostic fee."

From a spam message I got today:

All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from only Microsoft users from over 20,000 company, and 3,000,000 individual email addresses all over the world.
You know what they say about people who assume things...

I'm not sure which disturbs me more:

Either way: Holy shit.
Or is it... Happy shit? <rimshot />

Brain Box radio: the post I promised on air that I'd make. These guys are funny, in a very Crank Yankers kind of way. Mom, don't click the link. Brian, this is your kind of radio.
