Kai, put

set envelope_from=yes

in your muttrc in order to cope with annoying lists like that.

Phil, it is rumored that all the people in the NM bureaucracy are volunteers, and therefore should not be thought of to have any sort of responsibility as part of their positions of authority, and should not be held accountable for anything. Jacobo, realise is not a word in en_US.

In some cultures, pizza is a dessert served after cake and raspberries.

I don't know which is scarier, strfry() or memfrob().

Remember, jwzfan, if no one quotes you, you probably haven't said a thing worth saying.

<jwzfan> Clint: someone seems to have missed the sarcasm in my internet expression. Perhaps I should have suffixed it with LOL

Decklin, MPD looks pretty interesting. I have filed a wishlist bug on vux on the presumption that integrating it with mpd would be peachy keen. Still, mpdscribble is conspiring against me. That it can't get MusicBrainz IDs is a minor irritation. The more significant problem is that it doesn't work at all. For every song, it whines about skipping, like this:

new song detected (Leonard Cohen - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye)
skipping detected, not submitting.

I'm not doing any skipping, and crossfade is set to '0'. I continue to use my happy NIH pseudosolution.

Only five off Jaldhar's list.

Jordi, are you blind? We've all known that Mika is hot for a long time.

c, check out /etc/security/limits.conf in libpam-modules. Andres, some snakes are more well-behaved than others. Can you tell just by looking?

Josh, is the Thinkpad still running Fedora? If so, what's the hold-up?

I only have two things to say to this. This and this.

flurble, would you rather have a pet badger or a pet koala? Update: Matt gave this an index of 2 . Update: She picked koala. Reasoning is implied here.

The file extension for OpenMG appears to be .omg. Four people will find this amusing.

Ted Leung wrote a positive review about Peter's and Oliver's book. Then came the entertaining comments. Here are two bits which made me giggle the most.

In no case should you be doing complex programming in a shell script!

Learning the POSIX standard shell is time well spent, IMO. Most shells implement it pretty well (e.g. bash, zsh, sh on most machines) and it's pretty powerful.

What kind of crazy RHPS fiasco has a narrator?

Og Maciel: When your children decide that they don't want to eat their fibers , you should beat them with a morningstar. If that doesn't head off the problem right there, you could try subjecting them to Bergen County's blue laws. If you really want to be cruel, tell them that the word snowclone from this article is translated to French ici.

Steve: I seem to remember that one can write a more functional HTTP server in fewer lines of Z-Shell code. Benjamin: As I understand it, Orson Scott Card is the problem. I'm sure other people can point to examples in his writing which illustrate poor judgment; I will stick to the topic at hand. Orson Scott Card has reportedly expressed his belief that Jake Lloyd is a fine actor. Orscon Scott Card has expressed his wish that Jake Lloyd play Ender in the movie. In case you are reading this with some program that strips hyperlinks (be sure not to miss the changelog for version 1.5.7), I'll remind you that Jake Lloyd is the kid who played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. If I recall correctly, Mr. Card was relieved to discover the high quality of child acting, because it meant that he wouldn't have to dumb down the story quite so much. I'm almost certain I heard that Peter and Valentine would be dropped entirely. I cannot bear to go on. Finally, the unifying theme between HTTP Server and Orson Scott Card is that, some time ago, Mr. Card attempted to co-author a novel with the Internet. Does anyone have a link for that?

Andres: That is a bad track record. You should move to a safer neighborhood, like Bushwick or Bed-Stuy. Joey: I don't know what they've done to the Narnia script. My expectations were so low that I was thrilled to find out that they were doing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first instead of following the new and improved book ordering. Last I heard, they were doing terrible, terrible things to Ender's Game.

I want to see a 5 cactus.
