Random Rants

[Perfection]

Wanna find out? Tie a string to a piece of hamburger and stick it out the window while driving. When the hamburger is at a 45 deg angle, the speed of the car minus headwind or plus tailwind is approximately the objects terminal velocity.

I can do science, me.

That's a very elegant system

 

[The Last Conformist]

Thanks, but I meant the other kind of terminal velocity - what speed does the hamburger have to impact someone's head at in order for them to become terminally dead?

Can you be intermediately dead?

I was wondering that too...




Like that bit in Monty Python - "I'm not dead yet!"

I can't believe you hadn't heard of that before, Perfection (it is a good way of putting it though). Regarding the 'important' terminal velocity: the 'hamburger' we're speaking of is BE, right? If he's stapled to the third floor ceiling, and IglooDude's boss is on the second floor, we've already got a decent 20' drop, provided the boss is too distracted to notice BE falling. Assuming the drop is vertically coordinated, that might do the trick already, and besides, it's not like ID to not have a sidearm with just in case anyway.

So now I suppose you'll just need a scantily-clad prostitute to distract the boss, and a giant electromagnet capable of removing what are presumably carpet staples from a distance of about twenty feet. So we just need to determine what size electromagnet can counteract a carpet staple's fastening strength in a sheetrock ceiling from twenty feet away, and ID can finally achieve his destiny and install himself as a new Mexican mafia kingpin, ruling his territory remotely from BE's hole-in-the-floor apartment.

That reminds me of some verses:

"los muertos que vos matáis / gozan de buena salud" (Jose Zorrilla, Don Juan Tenorio)

'The dead people you kill / are very healthy indeed' (Urederra's free translation.

It is a witty way of saying that somebody is a liar.

My parents thought that I changed a word in a spread sheet to F**K, cause that is just something that is real funny and rebelious. Turns out that the spellcheck dosn't like the word Zuke. They didn't even apologize for not believing that I didnt do it after I told them it for 25 minutes while I was being interogated.

 

[Perfection]

What spreadsheet software are you using? No recent microsoft edition will change a word into an obscinity.

Actually I think it is MSworks. It was probably added to the dictionary at some time.

Hmm, I'm not sure about works. In office though (and I'd assume works would be the same), the swear words are already in the dictionary, they just don't display in autocorrects or spell checks. So if you were to put "fuc" in word, the f-bomb won't appear in the list of possible corrections. If you were to type the f-bomb it would still register as a word and would be passed by he checker.

 

[The Yankee]

Stupid Congress...essentially hiding the Alaskan pork barrel projects but claiming they did something.

 

[Grisu]

I hate commuter-traffic in the morning... every morning the same crap, sitting in my car waiting for traffic to edge along....

and it's even worse in the evening

 

[Grisu]

why does my boss always have to come up to me when I'm just about to leave and start talking about some irrelevant stuff? then going on for quite some time, repeating himself along the way

ahhh, oh well, just one more month

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

No-one respects me.

No-one cares about me (except for my girlfriend and family)

I stuffed up my advanced maths yearly. Stupid "can't leave until you've been marked" food tech prec rule.

I hate this freaking flu i've got. Ive been having fevers all day.

 

[Turner]

Starting in 3.5 hours, I have 5 days off.

You rather defeated your own rant there, didn't you?

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I'm so freaking TIRED. (Since school is so boring, I'm taking two university courses on the side.) I've consistently overslept the last week.

One of the junior saxophonists at my band practice is an absolute moron. He will oppose anything I say, and thinks that LOTR sucks because it's in English and his English is poor. I haven't seen an original thought from him yet, either.

My teacher gave me a C+ on my last essay, and when I ask what I should improve or do differently to get a better grade, she has no idea. So I tell here quite pointedly that if she can't think of any way in which it coud be better, I deserve a B. Her reply? "No, this isn't maths, where there are right and wrong answers. This is Norwegian." But she still refuses to tell me how to get a better grade.

Also, my last mandatory assignment for the programming course I'm taking was apparently corrected by some dude who wasn't in contact with my teacher, because he doesn't like object-orientation and thinks that my code is obfuscated. IT'S NOT OBFUSCATION WHEN I PUT A METHOD IN THE OBJECT, MORON!!

Full-day tests at my school begin tomorrow. They continue irregularly (I skip days where there are tests for subjects I'm not taking) until the 2nd Dec. I have my final programming exam at the university that day.

When I finally get to the holidays, I'm going to have to spend them installing a decent Java development environment. And Linux. And then get used to both of them.


...
Bah, I can't feel any rage. I suppose I have a good life after all.
