"October 2012 is the 332nd consecutive month with an above-average temperature. If you were born in or after April 1985, if you are right now 27 years old or younger, you have never lived through a month that was colder than average." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet
The word "cray" needs to die (unless you're referring to a particular brand of supercomputer). "Crazy" has two syllables, and they are "cra-zy", not "cray-cray".
How do you feel about "craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy"? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

In Java, comparing two URLs for equality does I/O. *facepalm* See for yourself: http://docs.oracle.com/javase...
So does hashCode, of course. - Tudor Bosman
I'm sure it's useful for something... I guess don't use URL.equals(), if you don't need the full response checking? - Jimminy IS Everybody
It's nice to be able to check that you're looking at the same object, regardless of the string representation of the URL. An example, 127.0.0.1/file/x.html equals localhost/file/x.html. Though I'm sure there are some extremely rare edge cases where the IP that responds isn't a match. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Jimminy, even that may not be good all the time. Lets say we convert the name to an IP and even eliminate the protocol (http vs https). Still there are cases that your equals method would fail. One example is when a domain has multiple IP addresses. Another is when a server is not a dedicated server and hosts multiple domains. In that case, a URI of a domain could falsely match with a URI of another domain. - ؛ patrick
If A redirects to B are they equal? - Bruce Lewis
I don't know, I'd assume a simple 301 or 302 would be followed, within reasonable depth. But I haven't touched Java in a long time. - Jimminy IS Everybody

Romney Promises Any Pennsylvanian Who Votes For Him Can Have Ann Romney For One Hour | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"In an attempt to sway any voters who remain undecided in the Democratic-leaning state, Republican candidate Mitt Romney announced Friday that any resident of Pennsylvania who votes for him in the upcoming election can have his wife, Ann, for one hour." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet
OH: "Remember: on Sunday, set your clock back one hour. On Tuesday, make sure you don't set the country back 50 years."
Maybe Romney isn't releasing his tax returns because he doesn't want the world to know that he hasn't tithed to the LDS church, not because he hasn't paid enough taxes.
Andrew Chang commented on my Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/tudorb...): "Hey, you were right! Some of his 'donations' to the LDS church were mainly tax shelters that _paid him_, not the church. http://www.bloomberg.com/news..." - Tudor Bosman

Game of the day: take a figure of speech. Interpret literally. Make a story out of it. For example, the 1997 movie "Devil's Advocate" had a lawyer (played by Keanu Reeves) work for the Devil (played by Al Pacino).

"Wingman": Jake Pullins (Ryan Gosling) is a single man just trying to make it in the big city. He likes to take his best friend Joel (Jack Black) with him to bars in order to pick up women. There's just one problem: Joel's eight-foot feathery wings are always getting in the way. Hilarity ensues. Directed by Joel Schumacher. "This film had no business being made. Terrible.

Things you should never buy online (and it's not obvious that you shouldn't):

"The basement had five rooms. When his employer had moved in, one of them was set aside as a kitchen, a few others for stock rooms and storage, and one had been declared the server room. The server room had the best access to utility services, like electricity and telecom connections. Unfortunately, it also had the best access to the sewage system. In fact, the racks had been placed beside the overflow valve [...]" - Tudor Bosman
