So I’m investigating leaving Sprint after the news of the previous entry, and this doesn’t inspire confidence in the brand for Verizon.

One would think to place basic computational arithmetic well within the realm of web monkeys that can make a web store for a multi-billion-dollar communications giant. One would also, apparently, be quite wrong.

Exactly how do you pay so

Watch this when people won’t look at you funny for falling out of your seat in stitches.

This Fark thread is really just far too much information for my taste. And yet, hilarious as hell.

Yes, we did, indeed, just call it that.

I’ve seen crazier things, yes, but this is still, easily, the funniest thing I’ve seen this week. I’d say this year, but I saw The Aristocrats which trumps most anything I’ve seen this decade.

Armed and Dangerous » Microsoft tries to recruit me:

I called Mike Walters, who told me my name had been passed to him

With every release of a cat-named OS, headline writers make sad attempts at word games based on this. Of course, there are only so many variations on a theme, and they get repeated … often. Here’s this year’s.

Tiger has been:

• unleashed (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11)
• loosed/freed/let out/uncaged (1 2 3 4)
• launched (1 2 3 4)

Tiger also:

• roars (1 2 3 4 5 6)
• stalks (1)
• is poised to strike (1)

Commendable departures from repetition:

• Apple Pins April 29 Date on Tiger’s Tail
• Tiger Spotlight
• Apple to sell Tigers April 29 (cute…)

Engrish variations:

• Jobs claim Tiger is their biggest leap forward in decades (The company is Apple not Jobs though these days few could hold them responsible for that.)
• Tiger was, in one case, lunched.
  

Of all the places to have this information, Microsoft was the last on my list. Even then, even that they have it, the funniest part is how seriously they take it.

Should I be scared that this is not an unusual message?

Well, okay, let’s give the circumstances: I’m load-testing a server by taking several machines and command-clicking the URL of a dynamic page as fast as possible. When the link is fully-dynamic, the server cries in pain, fights back a little, and then falls to the floor screaming for its mommy. When I cache a very little bit, it looks at me and laughs.

Minimal caching == good.
