What version of Ruby is this guy using?

Kellan — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 01:24:00 +0000

No regular expressions, no instance variables, no packages/namespacing, no public/private/protected!?!!? Clearly he got his hands on an unreleased alpha from 1987. But that doesn’t explain his concern that Ruby will drive up your electrical bill. It’s got to be a troll. I blame why.

Best blonde joke, 3 years and going strong?

Kellan — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 03:42:00 +0000

I first saw “the best blonde joke” meme on LJ about 4 months ago, but according to this comment it originated on message boards over 3 years ago. (nipping in the bud any desire to do a meme autopsy

Isn’t “A guy tried to smuggle plutonium from Tajikistan into Afghanistan” just a fancy way of saying “Live for the moment?”

Outsourcing Thomas Friedman

You don’t need a high-wage, high-prestige American columnist â€“ not when there are hundreds of millions of Indians just as eager to shill for America’s oligarchy.

NTK, and the case of the disappearing privacy

Kellan — Fri, 14 Jun 2002 14:25:37 +0000

NTK’s HARD NEWS section this week is so amazing (thanks to the wonders of British sarcasm) and so horrifying, I’m reposting it, in its entirety. I think Danny O’Brien is a secretly working for the global conspiracy, making each new outrage disarmingly funny.

It’s not often you catch Slashdot, Kuro5in, Newsnight and BBC’s Question Time [and the Guardian] covering the same story. And while we still await the day Jeremy Paxman screams “MOD THE PARENT UP!” at a ashen-faced spokesman, one topic bound them all this week: the insane new RIP STATUTORY INSTRUMENT. This piece of pseudo-legislation, which the government clearly hoped to sneak past parliament next Tuesday, extends the list of authorities able tap everyone’s traffic data without a warrant. In the original RIP bill, only coppers, customs and the secret services could obtain phone numbers, Web addresses, and cellphone positions willy-nilly. With the new instrument, anyone from a local councillor to the Office of Fair Trading, down to the Post Office^W^WConsignia^Wthe Royal Mail can stalk you without judicial oversight. Over twenty new government departments are listed, with no explanation or justification (the Department of Work and Pensions is fighting terrorism how exactly?). It really is a “shopping” list in every sense but the car-jacking one. As with so much of the original RIP bill, *nobody* thinks this is a good idea. Councillors we’ve spoken with are worried about the abuse potential, other departments are freaking out at the cost of overseeing the new powers. Already the hundreds of faxes sent to MPs and messages to the news media have secured one concession: our gracious leaders have postponed the debate until next Monday, 2002-06-24. If we keep the pressure up, they may be obliged to withdraw it completely. Check out STAND for more info on what the Blunt Instrument means, and what to do about it.

To which I can only add, do you think easyEverything paid for the right to be linked to women in skimpy tops, and invasion of privacy? The Newsnight [2] story clearly states in its alt tags, that the images are of “easyEverything, internet cafe”.

In other NTK news, in reference to the success of xcom2002

It only remains to say: would the owners of the POP logins “steve”, “e.tedeschi”, and “olly” please change their email passwords? They showed up unencrypted in the wireless network traffic logs and – if you hadn’t noticed – we’re trying to campaign quite hard against this kind of thing.

Do you think if I moved to Britian right now I could learn that dry, ironic sense of humor that all the cool technology publications (ie the Reg, and NTK) have? Or is it something you have to be born into? Or at least suffer though the British school system to acquire?
