<itamar> it hurts, but at the same time you are distracted by the violation of your concept of reality

<symbiont> can we encapsulate hitler in an xml document?
<slyphon> he'll make sure all of your documents are only in pure german
<symbiont> achtung baby!

%
<exarkun> Nagle is a little gnome who ships inside every TCP stack
<exarkun> He grabs your sockets and squeezes them
<exarkun> So the bits can't fit through
<exarkun> Later, he lets go
<exarkun> Turning off TCP_NODELAY hits Nagle with a sledge hammer.
<exarkun> While he's unconscious, no one does the job of squeezing your sockets.

<saph> PoD: please keep his kidneys out of his nose
<PenguinOfDoom> saph: Why?
<saph> PoD: because i don't want to have to explain it in the holiday cards!
<PenguinOfDoom> saph: Okay.

<crw> don't talk to teachers when you first wake up, it floods back all the crap you had to do in school.

<spiv> "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a persistence system out of my hat!"
<spiv> "But that trick never works!"
<spiv> "This time for *sure*!"

<_joshua> and then take one bad quote and make you look bad

<radix> Cuz it was holding a waffle
<exarkun> radix: Hahaha

<exarkun> I mean, uh, her character has many unresolved personal issues that she projects onto other people around her without reason.
<glyph> exarkun: that sounds like pretty much all TV people
<exarkun> Gumby never took out his unresolved personal issues on Pokey
<glyph> you don't think so?
<glyph> I thought that Pokey's whole _life_ was gumby's unresolved personal issues
<glyph> like this memorable sequence:
<exarkun> Well, they were always friendly enough on camera
<glyph> gumby: HAHA STUPID QUADRUPED
<glyph> pokey: shut up! I hate you!
<glyph> gumby: FOUR LEGS FOUR LEGS, WHERE ARE YOUR HANDS HAHA
<exarkun> glyph: I think I missed that episode.
<glyph> pokey: one day you will be hurt by someone close to you the same way!
<dash> exarkun: i think glyph watched tv in an alternate universe
<exarkun> dash: That seems likely!
<glyph> exarkun: it was right before pokey got a cameo on NYPD Blue

<maciej> Poles are wondering why they are paying millions of $$ out of pocket to occupy Iraq on behalf of the US, and not seeing the slightest benefit
<markp> i believe the benefit is that we'll bump you down a few notches on the list of "countries we'll invade next"
<brkchrmr> Doesn't Poland get a +5 to be invaded on every roll? ;)

<MFen> i'm sorry, but does this scream DANGER DANGER WARNING to you?  "e"
