This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws. - Soup in a TARDIS
LOL, Soup! - Kol Tregaskes
Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out... - Greg Lato

this is underfaksink at its worzt - pb:
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - pb:
Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :] - pb:
OMGosh, just 23 more likes to beat this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/imified... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Iphigenie
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Caption which needs to be said aloud: Uh Ohz, I'm totally FAXED! - sofarsoShawn
Hehe, Shawn. 10 more for the big 5-0-0. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Countdown! 8 more now! - Mike Nayyar

Take Back the Beep: how to disable voicemail instructions on Sprint
While we wait for all the carriers to get on board with nixing their endless, unhelpful voicemail pre-beep messages, we've already got instructions from Sprint on how to disable it for your own particular voicemail box on that network. It's pretty easy: Call your voicemail. At the menu, press 3 for personal options. Press 2 for greeting. Press 1 to change the greeting. To enable / disable the instructions, press 3. Trust us, we did some serious searching for similar instructions on the other major carriers, but had no luck. If you know of anything, let us know!

SCI FI Channel To Change Name
word is getting around - Josh Haley
Wy? - Kevin Fox
yea lamest thing ever, nice job on alienating their core audience - Fee501st
Matthew: according to google, Siffy: infected with syphilis - Fee501st
oh, I see what they did there. They could have imagined greater than that. - zeroinfluencer
hate it - Veronica
Well I'm glad BSG is almost over. :o) - Paul Reynolds
So terrible. Fitting seeing how Sci-Fi hasn't shown much sci-fi in years. - Kien Tran
Eh.. no so thrilled with this, its like WTF. - Keith Hobin
tell me thys ys a jok(e)! - Mister Groonk from twhirl
Lame. I'll assume "broader programming appeal" is what has been keeping Science Fiction off SciFi. - Alan
I never see the point of these name changes. Costs loads to make up new logos etc and the effect is well...underwhelming. Syfy = lame. - Amy
Apparently geek cred isn't good enough and they want to be more. While alienating their core audience. - Araceli
Their core audience was already alienated. I mean geeks love aliens, right? You're groaning, but it's my nature. See #1: http://blog.wired.com/geekdad... - Kevin Fox
That reminds me of why is WWF on SciFi? - Araceli
They're doing this precisely because a lot of their content isn't strictly scifi (and hasn't been for a long while). Also, it's easier to branch out into new sub-brands with the new name, eg. SyFy Kids. - Paul Wilcox
Araceli, as far as I know they have late night wrestling on Sci-Fi because, frankly, it pays the bills. - Paul Wilcox
After Battlestar is off SciFi I'll only have Dr Who and I can torrent those months before SyFy (yech) get around to them. Terrible move. - Ernie Oporto from Nambu
Press release (http://scifiwire.com/2009...) says, "By changing the name to Syfy, which remains phonetically identical, the new brand broadens perceptions and embraces a wider range of current and future imagination-based entertainment beyond just the traditional sci-fi genre, including fantasy, supernatural, paranormal, reality, mystery, action and adventure." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
So it's still pronounced Sci-Fi. I can see why they want to have a name they can trademark. But no one seems to like this. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
.... a rose is still a rose by any other name...... - walterh
Translated: We want to show more wrastlin', MMA, and other baseline, lowest common denominator entertainment cause all yall's too stupid for real sci-fi. - iTad
It sounds kind of different, but it isn't really, because we want to keep our core audience, but not really, cause we want to branch out...I swear to god, if this is Ben Silverman's idea, I'm going straight to NBC Universal and punching him in the face. - Mike Nayyar
Incomprehensibly lame. - Michael
Perhaps it's part of the economic recovery effort. In this case, putting really lame branding agencies to work. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Its a shame a la carte programming will never catch on among the cable companies, because SyFy is definitely a channel I would be getting rid of. - Jonathan Hardesty
syfy.com states the new naming "creates an ownable and extendable brand for the future." This actually makes sense. 'Sci fi' is too too generic a term to receive trademark protections as they venture in to new areas, so they had to come up with something unique. I don't like what they ended up with, but I understand why (and how, since at least this change is only a visual change. The linguistic name stays the same.) - Kevin Fox

Paul Buchheit
List of common misconceptions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
"The human body can survive the hard vacuum of space unprotected, despite contrary depictions in much popular Science fiction. Human flesh expands to about twice its size in such conditions, giving the visual effect of a body builder rather than an overfilled balloon. Consciousness is retained for up to 15 seconds as the effects of oxygen starvation set in. No snap freeze effect occurs because all heat must be lost through thermal radiation or evaporation of liquids, and the blood does not boil because it remains pressurised within the body. The greatest danger is in attempting to hold one's breath before exposure, as the subsequent explosive decompression can damage the lungs. These effects have been confirmed through various accidents (including in very high altitude conditions, outer space and training vacuum chambers)." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
Wow, that was the coolest thing I learned all day. - Patrick Lightbody
Wow! You mean we are all really superheroes after all? Cool:) - Roney Smith
Note that it says "the human body can survive", not "a human can survive". So we're not all superheroes. :( I just thought I'd ruin it for you. - Gabe
It's awesome that wikipedia contains this list...and the list itself is awesome. Weirdly, I feel like I just learned recently that the flat earth story is bogus. Especially weird because, well, it's patently obvious that the earth is not flat, to anyone who has ever been in a large field. - j1m
but, caveat emptor: the statement about myopia is misleading. In fact, close work during childhood appears to be a major cause of myopia (see, for example, the wikipedia entry on myopia). I wonder how many other errors there are in here that I wouldn't be able to catch. The list also includes some things that don't really count as common misconceptions. 'Koala bear' is a name for... more... - j1m
