"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."

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".
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.

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.

Romney Promises Any Pennsylvanian Who Votes For Him Can Have Ann Romney For One Hour | The Onion - America's Finest News Source - http://www.theonion.com/article...
"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."

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.

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).
Come hell or high water...perhaps a Western with an end-of-world flood to contend with?

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 [...]"
