How It Went Down, a Play in One Act - INT. A SUBURBAN HOME - EVENING MDC and his Mother are arguing in the living room. MDC: Mom, will you please give me the money to get my shit out of storage? I need those books and computers and shit. Mother: No, I told you, I'm not giving you money to go down there, you'll just give it away to the first guy with a cardboard sign you see or else you'll blow it on strippers. I'm just not going to throw my money away like that. MDC: But mom, you give me cash all the time to go into town and hangout at the web cafe-- Mother: YES! To get you out of my god damn hair so I can have a little peace and quiet. I can't stand it how you're always telling me how I should do things in my OWN house. I have managed just fine all these years then you come in here with no money, no job, no wife, with half the police in California keeping an eye out for you and you want to tell ME what to do. I give you money so you'll LEAVE ME ALONE FOR AWHILE.

A Girl's Guide to Sex with Dogs - My name is Jamie, and I am not ashamed to say that I enjoy having sex with dogs (and I've been doing it since I was 14!), I am totally "normal" in almost all respects: I'm 28 and live in Los Angeles. I have a boyfriend who is pretty good in bed and I have a great job as a graphic artist. But I've found that dogs can actually be better and more satisfying lovers than either men or women! I know that sounds weird, and a lot of you will be shocked by this, but thousands of women and girls worldwide agree with me, and, by all indications, more women are discovering this secret every day. Women have been having sex with animals for centuries, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any woman who wants to experience what is possibly the most intense and electrifying sexual experience there is.

FreeBSD X: Berkeley Unix, Apple Quality - The various Berkeley Software Distribution operating systems, having been nearly destroyed in an ugly lawsuit with AT&T, have had a challenging past. FreeBSD has been the only non-commercial Berkeley unix to have had any measure of real success and, to this day, the hangover of its early legal woes still stymies its popular use outside of industry despite improvements to its codebase.The infamous AT&T/BSD lawsuits caused FreeBSD to jettison two-thirds of its codebase and start over from scratch, knocking its feature-set back several years, causing it to be bought out and divested by hopeful investors and only reaching robustness with code infusions from two commercial unix systems, BSD/OS and Mac OS X.So as FreeBSD heads toward its milestone tenth release, it is Apple's platform that has been the center of gravity for the demonic operating system, largely in part by Apple's open-source efforts that have been more and more contributing code back into the main FreeBSD development branch. It obviously won't be long until the two are completely merged--so when thinking of 2014 and FreeBSD 10, starting thinking "FreeBSD X."But first, how did we get here? What did BSD/OS contribute or, more importantly, how did it take away from FreeBSD? And what exactly does FreeBSD 10 look like? What is Apple's role in the operating system? Important questions to be answered, picking up from after the lawsuits... (From http://www.trollaxor.com/2012/05/freebsd-x-berkeley-unix-apple-quality.html.)

The Cookie Problem: A Mathematical Satire - There exists an urban legend of how psychiatrists used to differentiate schizoprenia from bipolar by asking the patient how they preferred their carrots - raw or cooked? - and it worked pretty well, actually. However, it sorted 'normal' people into the same categories of insanity, with exactly the same proportions. Any chef will tell you, based on this, that psychiatry is bullshit. One wonders if someday, psychiatrists will diagnose people based on chocolate chips.

Top Technologies of 2012 Cater to The Common Man - We've heard well enough about how technology is expanding exponentially, but what nobody's talking about is how we, as people... are not. The common man resents, fears and will rebel against a technocracy, so technology is at its best when it's available and accessible to the common man. Like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to give to the masses (minus the daily eagle tearing your liver out thing) the top technologies of the day place power over runaway technology into the hands of regular people.

Sandra Fluke Is A Fucking Slut - Recently, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke testified before Congress that, "without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school." In response, American patriot Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" on his nationally syndicated radio program. Internet White Knight and Nobel Laureate Barack Hussein Obama called Ms. Fluke to express his support for her right to free shit. While both sides of this he-said-she-testified debate are warming up for a grand ol' culture war, lets take a moment to objectively assess her statements and let the data speak to how much this aging co-ed loves the cock.

Saying good-bye to an old friend: Michael David Crawford - It just occurred to me that there's a very real, significant chance that Crawford will be committed in 36 hours, and that we may never hear from him again.

The Rock Star as Charismatic CEO - OK Go's "Needing/Getting" Video - So my friend calls me up and says that he's just seen the best music video ever. But what did he really see? Was it a musical performance? A recording? Or was it an extended metaphor for the cult of the charismatic, 'innovative' CEO? What is real and what is 'kayfabe'? Is rock dead and, if so, who inherits the old man's money?

Crawford's calling, and he's calling you gay. - Saturday December 31, 2011 The time 10:25 a.m. 911: 911 how can I help you? Crawford: This is NOT an emergency.
