It's really pretty mild compared to other road rash incidents I've had. Hip probably is worse but y'all don't get to see me with my pants off :p

cool. I ride a Landyachtz Bamboo Pinner with Bear 180's and Otang Durian 86a wheels.

Nice, I really like some of the landyachtz decks but can't afford them. I picked the bonnevilles because they're really big and really soft, with good rebound, the roads around my school are very bumpy!

I love the Juke. It won't win any beauty contests but is more interesting to me than the bland Camry, Jetta, Fusion cough drops with four wheels.

"MacFuse (that for severals years was de-facto the main implementation of libfuse on macosx) had never compatibility as a project goal. The MacFuse author had motto "MacFuse is not Fuse" and over the years MacFuse became incompatible with the upstream project. While other forks (for FreeBSD/NetBSD/...) are developed closely with the Linux version, MacFuse development was more like a ghetto without dialogue with the rest of the FUSE community. The goal of Fuse4X project is to develop FUSE implementation that is fully-compatible with the upstream project. Fuse4X pays a lot of attention to communication with the FUSE community as well. Fuse4X developers try to contribute its changes to the upstream project when possible. While legacy software written and heavily tested with MacFuse should keep using either Tuxera MacFuse or OsxFuse, the new development should consider using Fuse4X as better alternative for MacFuse. This is especially true in case of cross-platform code when library compatibility has extremely high importance."

"DeflOpt is just something I wrote while I was developing BJWFlate. I found that one of the ideas I used in BJWFlate was not used by any other zipper. Even if another zipper could compress a file to a size that was smaller than what BJWFlate did, I could still apply that idea to that other zipper's ZIP file and make it smaller. So while DeflOpt started its life as just a small piece of code within BJWFlate, it survived while the rest of BJWFlate did not. I have to give an acknowledgement here: When I started writing BJWFlate, I was stuck at some point in my understanding of the Deflate specification. A few email exchanges with Ken Silverman, who was working on kzip at the time, made me understand the one thing I had not understood about the Deflate specification, and so I wrote BJWFlate. DeflOpt grew from that, as mentioned. Contrary to what I have seen mentioned on some pages, DeflOpt does not just remove garbage from deflated files, but actually optimises the structures created by...

Most importantly I need to make sure I have several options for people to stay with. I'm still a student so a couch is enough! I would like to spend much of the business-week part of my trip looking for job opportunities, as well. Any help and/or ideas you can provide would go a long way, as the last time I was in SF I was a small child being lead around by my parents. :)

Wow, clever: "In May, we faced a new form of an attack now known as "self-XSS." Security engineers have known for a while that social engineering attacks (where you trick or deceive people) have the potential to be bigger and more dangerous than attacks leveraging an actual security hole. Normally, one of these attackers will use a fraudulent hook to lure people (shocking Justin Bieber video, free iPad 3s, gift cards, free airline tickets, etc.) and then ask them to copy and paste code to access these special items. However, this code is a piece of malicious JavaScript that allows the spammer to post on person's profile and their friends' profiles. Contrary to a typical cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, which is a security vulnerability in Facebook's code that would have to be fixed, with self-XSS there is nothing to "fix". We've talked to browser teams across the web and they have made progress, but so have the spammers. Right now, the attacker directly asks people to open...

I agree. I love redheads but he looks striking in Sherlock.
- Spidra Webster
I greatly prefer him with dark hair too. I also like it when he's got it a bit long and wavy/curly/whatever (as opposed to his shorter cut in Fortysomething).
- Soup in a TARDIS
Yes! The longer, curly hair is lovely! It's probably done on purpose to soften his sharp eyes and high cheekbones. <3
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
I'd think so. I know they do the lighting in Sherlock to give all the characters sharper features. That being said, I'd be happy with him in any lighting. ;)

Seriously, though, letting a baby cry unattended when they're hungry, wet, or soiled is straight up neglect.

It makes sense that growing up with your system constantly flooded by stress hormones is going to f- you up
- Victor Ganata

But a caveat: there is a developmental stage around 1 month old when babies have a tendency to cry a lot for difficult-to-discern reasons, and it can be extremely frustrating for caregivers when they don't respond to comforting. It's probably preferable to put the baby down and let them cry, than for the caregiver to get pissed off and shake the hell out of the baby
- Victor Ganata

Well, yes, Victor. If you're faced with a choice between harming an infant and not comforting it, I think that not comforting it might be the right choice.

Do they sell mastectomy products? That can be reimbursed by some insurances and then yes, that would be information protected by HIPAA.

Generally I hate that place and only go when I can think of no other way to stop the headaches - like, once every four or five years. Signs like that represent the general attitude - otoh, when you're a 38I (or any of the other strange sizes only they carry; howdja like to be a 32g? I never was, but they've got 'em), they pretty well know they can treat you however they want. You go in...

Michael (I cheated and looked at your LinkedIn - Hi!) I remembered I have a 1tb external I had filled up with Time Machine backups that was basically just sitting on my bookshelf after I replaced it with a 2tb. So I've cleaned it off and moved my video projects to that drive and off my internal, so I think I can hold out for a couple of months - or at least until I get my newest...

When I do buy new drives, I'll probably buy more Seagate externals, which were each $99 when I bought them - both the 1tb and the 2tb. I don't trust Western Digital as far as I can throw their building, and while it would be cheaper overall to buy a couple internals and that Newer Technology docking station that lets me plug drives in and out so I could keep a backup in a safe deposit box at the bank, it's kinda ew-gly to look at every day.

I don't think directuer is around anymore. :( I just found a poem he shared with me, that he said was his last (forever) poem. It was sent right before his activity here stopped, and the only activity I've found past that is when he GPL'd his stuff on github 2 months later.
