Servers are peculiar objects. They can sit there and do millions of calculations and operations per second, for months and months and months on end.  They will dutifully perform their tasks until they are interupted by some stupid user asking it to do something it doesn’t want to do. Until the power goes out due to a few inches of freshly fallen snow. The power outage should be no big deal, right? Datacenters are the most equipped buildings known to man that are able to deal with mother nature and her wicked ways, right? Sure. Datacenters have backup generators to keep all of the machines and power on and running flawlessly while the electricians work to restore power. What happens when a water main bursts and floods the room where the backup generator is and main circuitboards, causing the entire building to lose power?

Black friday shopping is a tradition for some people. Some of those people take it seriously, and camp out at stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc, just as soon as they finish their turkey on Thanksgiving. Some people don’t take it seriously, some just say to themselves “hey, these guys have a 1TB hard drive on sale for $100, thats a pretty damn good deal, and I want it!”. So they take themselves to the line on Thursday night or even early Friday morning, and wait. And wait. And wait some more, for that time that eventually comes when they open up the doors and let you in to fend for yourself grabbing the latest technologies at the lowest prices, or grabbing a 12 pack of your favorite soft drink for damn near free.

I am an avid poker player. I’m not the greatest, I’m not the worst. I enjoy the game, I enjoy hanging out with friends and killing 12 hours of my life every other Saturday, and every Thursday, and playing poker and having a good time all around. However, I do not enjoy losing money to morons, time and time again. That is why poker can kiss my ass. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 2, Tuesday July 31st 2007, 9:08am. 128 Miles east of Flagstaff, I-40 East, 78 Degrees.

What a fucking great night of sleep I had. We must have got a free upgrade to the deluxe sweet, which included the sounds of Flagstaff to help you have an enjoyable night at the luxurious Motel 6. The sounds of flagstaff you ask? Well, of course the big fucking train that goes, literally, right between the two beds, roughly every 27 minutes. There must have been a truck too close to the tracks EVERY single time or something, because the engineer or conductor or train fuckin operator or whatever theyre called, was blowing that horn like it was the only thing in his job description. Jesus christ. We woke up around 6am, I went out for a smoke in my t-shirt and shorts and my testicles quickly jumped up to my ears, it was just about -28 degrees. I hotboxed that shit so I could get my nicotene levels back up so I wouldn’t throw small children at the walls, and we walked over to McDonalds. Why is it that McDonalds doesn’t have a bacon, egg, and cheese MUFFIN? The biscuits are fucking nasty, but I dig the muffins. Put that shit on a muffin, jack. Have any of you ever had McDonalds coffee? Well I hope you never do. I took one swig of it, spit it all over the sidewalk, and quickly dumped the rest out. I was pissed, that dirtwater cost me like a buck fifty. Read the rest of this entry »

12:44pm, Monday July 30th 2007, about 80 miles east of San Diego, on I-8 East. 98 Degrees F.

Well We left La Mesa, CA around 11:45am today, and we have had a pretty uneventful trip so far. We’re driving down a big fucking mountain at a 6% decline. Nothing crazy except the horseshoe curves, and the big fucking rocks that keep taunting us with “Sliding rock area! BEWARE!” signs. A few miles ago we passed a shitload of crazy looking windmills, and that was pretty weird. I think they put that shit there just for a little bit of extra wind power to push our 16ft high truck off the road. Did I mention about 75% of the road has absolutely no guard rails whatsoever? Thats quite reassuring when you’re looking about 1500 feet down at the bottom of a fucking canyon, nothing but air seperating you and certain death.

So, we see here at this link, that theres some HOT teachers having sex with their students. I’m not sure how I feel about this really. I mean, I have a penis, so therefore, hot anybody banging anybody is cool by me, as long as its consensual. But at the same time, I want to beat the life out of those lucky little bastards that get to bang a good number of the women on that page. I mean, cmon, take a look at:

Now I have been a smoker for well over 10 years. I respect that people don’t like the smell of cigarettes, or are allergic to smoke, etc. Thats all well and fine. But now the government is encroaching on my rights as a human being, to walk down the street I paid taxes for, and smoke a cigarette I paid MORE taxes for. It is getting out of hand.

This is just ridiculous. If it weren’t built by WoW faggots, I would be impressed. But solely because it is built to further their digression into the WoW rabbit hole, it just makes me sick.

“The problem with massive online games is that they’re full of other people. In order to bypass the need for interaction and reliance on outsiders, one gamer (and, get this, his girlfriend) decided to take on the responsibilities of an entire World of Warcraft guild himself. Gaze upon the 47 PC setup that allows two gamers to simultaneously control 23 independent accounts each.”
