Catalysis: ASPARTAME IS WORSE FOR YOUR BODY THAN... →

webbo:
K.I.S.S., just say no to anything ‘artificial’ going into your body. (Yes the word artificial is in quotes since I argue even with my self, and that part of me is saying “how do you define artificial?”)
See marc, I told you alex would argue with himself if there was no one else around…
Point goes to Paul!
Alex, who won your argument? You or…. you? It’s not...
High minded conversation
Marc: The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance can be cured with education and stupidity cannot.
Sacha: although, with the right education, you can make an ignorant person stupid.
'Jennifer Government', by Max Barry
John turned and fled. Jennifer took off after him. Max Synergy and the US Alliance suits just stood there. This, she discovered, was a common thread to the next four and a half minutes: office workers standing around gaping while she and John zipped past them. John was screaming for the NRA or security or anyone with a gun, please, but there was not a lot of action from the suits and skirts...
'Jennifer Government', by Max Barry
John said, “You know what makes a successful executive?”
“Dude, I am a successful executive.”
“Decisiveness,” he said. The doors slid open. A man in a briefcase was standing there; he raised his eyebrows. John pointed the gun at the man’s leg and squeezed the trigger. It was louder than he’d expected.

Turns out to be a duplicate of Apple bug #6961613.

It’s an accident: At the gym, on an exercise bike; Jennifer Government on the kindle on the bike’s book rest, iPhone playing the score from The Orange Box.
Just started the chapter where Violet is getting ready to “storm the castle” at the same moment the Team Fortress 2 score begins… And it became the score to the chapter.
It fits beautifully. Full of tension...
Apple bug #7720101: TC/AEBS doesn't map L2TP VPN...
There is a bug with Apple’s Time Capsule/Airport Express Base Station (TC/AEBS) rendering L2TP servers on the LAN unusable:
When TC/AEBS is used as a router providing NAT services to the LAN, it will NOT under any circumstance provide port mapping services for 500/UDP, 1701/UDP, & 4500/UDP making L2TP VPN servers on the LAN side of TC/AEBS are unreachable from the WAN/Internet side.

Marc: I used to hate Sundays.
Michelle: Me too! It meant the end of the weekend.
Marc: Yeah! But then I...

Michelle: ...started drinking during the day?
Marc: ...got over it.
Michelle: oh. Nevermind.

I'm ton dyslexic.
Every time I see the word “Chesapeake” I read the word “Cheapskate.” Causes a double take every time. My brain does something similar to the sign in the EPIX kitchenette, to the word “pantry,” and it makes me chuckle every time.
OS X Pro Tip: paste & match style
Annoyed that the font from your favorite sticky app or website is carried to and from the clipboard?
Use ⎇⇧⌘V instead of plain ol ⌘V for pasting. It requires loading a new muscle-memory config into your brain, or you can use the keyboard pref pane to map “Paste and Match Style” to another combo.
UPDATED: That first glyph refers to the Option (sometimes labeled Alt) key, so the full...
