Tech support girl: Your tracking number is foo.
Me: Okay...
[we both go to fedex.com]
Tech support girl: So is that place really like the movie?
Me: Come again?
Tech support girl: Because you don't sound like them.
Me: Oh, yeah, Fargo. No, it's not like the movie.

In a similar vein as my previous post about dhcpd, I was compiling the 2.6.8.1 kernel, and read the following in the CONFIG_FTL documentation:

You may find that the algorithms used in this code are patented unless you live in the Free World where software patents aren't legal - in the USA you are only permitted to use this on PCMCIA hardware, although under the terms of the GPL you're obviously permitted to copy, modify and distribute the code as you wish. Just not use it.

Smart-ass foreign hackers.

Sunny Brook bourbon I'd never heard of Sunny Brook until I saw this ad downtown. The paint looks pretty new, so I imagine it's still being made. Has anyone had this?
