A poll I saw yesterday has Bush's approval rating two points lover than Nixon's when he resigned.  WTF, people couldn't figure out earlier how much they disliked the guy?

How would it be to have a job where only 20% of the people you work for think you're doing a good job, but you still get paid?

For some bosses, it's awesome, because they love to piss other people off.

The problem is people liked, or still like, Bush the man, they just don't approve of the job he's doing.  The democrats didn't realize that people want to vote for a guy they like, or else they wouldn't have run a pretentious east-coast intellectual.

Kyle Korver, (Utah) Rock Star.

Korver's female fans are different than what you might expect from the NBA arena. For the most part, these are not groupies in provocative, come-hither clothing. These are grandmas, housewives, grade-school kids and teens, ranging in age from 7 to 60 (to wit, the sign in the ESA: My grandma thinks you're hot.").

...

As Korver warmed up on the court before a game one day, a man showed up holding a sign with a photo of a baby on it — whom he had named Korver, after the player.

...

"It's gone to another level with the fans and the amount of love and offers he's receiving from 7-year-old girls," says teammate Jarron Collins.

Remember, this is the guy who plays 20 minutes a game, and has been on the Jazz for a grand total of four months.

Also, a headline from the same paper:

Yeah, winning the series and ending their season would do some damage to the Rockets' momentum now that I think about it.

He's white.

Fuck Vista. It just deleted something like 40 gigabytes due to an interface bug. Thanks Vista, you're the best!

I hit delete, and confirmed the deletion as always because it's a network drive, and it started deleting… the whole damn drive!

After realizing that I hit ESC. I pressed the X button. I frantically clicked Cancel. But it was gorging on files at that point and it took a while before it listened to my new instructions.


If this had happened on anywhere other than my copyright-infringing drive I'd be seriously pissed, but as it is I'm left just sort of bemused. Can't wait for the Mac, etc.

Also, I know I hoorayed Vista a few days back for its new hybrid sleep mode, but no I was too early. It's still a buggy affair. Fuck Vista right in the ear for that. When it has slept, Bluetooth transfers inexplicably stops working. And the computer can wake up in the middle of the night for no reason I can discern. Plus certain sidebar gadgets stops working correctly, sheez you'd think they'd at least have made sure they would work huh.


Standard caveat that some of these issues may strictly speaking not be MS' fault, but fuck it, it's the OS I interact with and that's the contact-point that fails me, so it's the OS I'll blame.

Oh. Yeah I suppose that's true yot. Oh you send me that huh? That's cool, I do remember I had a nasty crash on one of my IBM harddrives (yes, one of those drives, its serial-number was smack in the middle of the disaster range).

But the computer with the drive is all Linux so it wouldn't be easy to run huh? I'd probably have to move the drive to my workstation or something…

Wait, no, you sent me that program when my Maxtor harddrive crashed. Grrr, fuck you very much for that Maxtor! Took like 200 gigabytes worth of carefully organized tutorials and textures and a ton of stuff I didn't particularly wanted to lose. Bleh.

Ironically the Maxtor drive was my backup drive. Heh.

The actual backup data didn't take a lot of space though, so I was probably using the rest as a place for all those tutorials and textures and whatnot. Bad move. Maybe I only lost a hundred gigs of actual non-duplicated data, but it still hurt at the time.

2008-05-02 23:11:33
Equally seriously, how would I run it? It's a Linux box.


But, slightly less seriously but still pretty serious, it was downloaded stuff I just lost. I blame Vista for making a potentially horrible mistake, but the actual loss is measured in a forty gigabytes of movies and series and shit. Hell I'm contemplating if I should just delete the rest as well haha, I mean if I haven't seen The Moguls or Reno 911 yet chances are I won't.

I did lose all three The Prophecy movies though, aww I've been wanting to watch those for years. Literally. Those .avi files must've been at least five years old.

You can run it off Vista and scan the network disk. It might be able to save your Linux files.

There's recovery stuff for the various *nix filesystems, I'd recommend one but the only time I had to do that I just did it all with base system command line stuff from some instructions I found online somewhere.

I know I'm going to sound like a horrible alumni apologist, but if they arrested everyone who was drunk on Lake Travis, half of Austin would have a criminal record. I don't think I've ever been completely sober out there, and there's definitely a ton of drunk idiots on Jetskis (and tables) every time I've gone. I'm not saying it's a completely cut and dried, "Boating While Black" incident, but that was definitely my first reaction.

Chris Paul shoulda won the MVP. He's carrying a far less talented team and doing it with better stats for his position than Kobe. The Lakers are really good this year because they traded for Gasol, because Bynum made the leap, and because their role players in general improved ... not because Kobe changed anything he's been doing.

That said, Kobe shoulda won it in 2006 over Nash, when he carried an apocalyptically bad team to the playoffs and almost upset the Suns, so I guess in a couple of years we can look forward to Paul winning it as a makeup vote for this year.

That is all.

Maybe Paul should have...but can you argue Koby didn't deserve it? I can't see either being a bad vote and as is often the case, the more popular player often gets nod in any contest like this...

Though, to be fair, I only know what I know about basketball from various sports shows. I don't watch much of it until the playoffs.

MVP awards mean shit. It's wrongly named and usually awarded to whoever the voters think is the best all around player. FFS, Alex Rodriguez won the MVP in 2003 for leading the Texas Rangers to last place in their division.
