Holy Shit

My sound driver was fucked after my reformat of doom, and Windows fixed it.

Bill Gates, you are redeeming yourself.

(Only for XP mind you. Vista still needs to transformed into a singular physical entity and destroyed in the most thorough way possible with today’s technology. Future generations will have to use their technology to continue the destruction.)

The Manly Way: To Erase Something

Erases pencil, pen, and even paint.

Hadron Collider To Be Renamed “Halo”?

According to this news post, a contest was held to have the Large Hadron Collider renamed, and among other awesome names such as “Black Mesa” and “42″, the winner is “Halo”.

It seems Microsoft will attempt to sue CERN for this. Most likely, they will fail (because Europeans always win in the end). They will then attempt to sabotage the Hadron Collider by replacing the test sample with something downright stupid, and cause the resonance cascade.

OF COURSE! If the Combine take over Earth, imagine how much money Microsoft will make! Combine weaponry and technology powered by Microsoft Windows! They’ll be rich (it’d also explain why the Combine are such poor fighters compared to the HECUs from Half-Life 1)!

More points the deeper the label is.

The Large Hardon Collider

I’ve figured it out! The Large Hardon/Hadron Collider is a countermeasure to the combine suppression fields. Humanity has hope to battle the combine now!

We just need to wait for them to arrive…


I swear this will be my last LHC post of the month. I know I’ve been trying to squeeze every single bit of (un)creative writing out of it and some people may feel nauseated.

World Ends Sunday: Follow Up

Okay. I was wrong. The blackhole created by the LHC was a girl.

I admit my mistake (numbers 1, 2, and 3). Are you people happy now?

So instead of a hungry pasta and planet eating boy blackhole, we have a cosmetic consuming girl blackhole.

Expect to be missing nail polish, makeup, lotions, et cetera.

Set your calenders to October the twenty-first for another week of end-of-the-world excitement. (Hopefully the actual colliding of protons this time will create a boy blackhole this time.)

Perfection: A Series

My therapist recently read my short biography of Nietzche, and he suggested I take steps to climb out of the deep dark pit of nihilism and cynicism I’ve dug myself. Those were his words anyway.

He suggested that I write about what I consider perfection. So with me being eager for new blog posts (My blogging well has run dry and the pump is slowing.) I decided to capitalize on this idea. So I present to your a series/miniseries on perfection.

This will not in anyway conflict with currently scheduled blog posts (read: none so far). So you do not need to adjust your regular reading schedule.

But I think to myself, this is a rather flimsy blog post if I’m only announcing a new series. So I think giving a nice definition of what I think perfection is would be nice and fun.

  • Perfection is purely subjective.
  • Perfection is unobtainable.
  • Perfection cannot exist in the real-world.
  • Perfection is a concept. Similar to a geometric point or line, or infinity. No real-world example, and it can only be applied in description after adaptation.

If I made a mistake in my mathematical analogy, do tell me. I’d rather not look like an idiot.

I should mention I like my nihilism.

Tables and Psychopaths

It is a well known statistic that heavy usage of tables results in psychopaths knocking upon your front door. The correlation is even stronger with the backdoor or bathroom window.

There are only two great risk factors that need to be avoided. They are as follows.

Using tables for website layouts. This is the highest risk factor in using tables; it attracts the most homicidal and unstable psychopaths. If you value your life, use CSS instead.

Using a single column or row in a table to display data. This is wasteful; the conservationist psychopaths have great problems with waste. They may not be many in number but they are just as, if not more, dangerous as the other psychopaths. Instead use lists.

Using spreadsheets are negligible in risk factor. As is using tables for data requiring more than four boxes to display data. As long as the number of columns or rows are singular.

Hopefully this is an informative entry on the risk factors of tables and safe practices that help reduce the risk. Remember the only 100-percent risk free activity is absenence.
