If I could give up Linux and masturbation, I'd probably gain 30 working hours in a week.

Save FAQS.org!

So, if you're like me, you get in arguments all the time with people on the Innurnet. And when you get in those arguments, you like to have URLs to point to so that people know that you're really fricken serious about what you're talking about, and not just some big blowhard know-it-all bastardo, which in fact I am. So having FAQS.org around has preserved the illusion that you and I are not big assholes, which in fact is only partially true.
Dig it: FAQS.org. Like, it's a site that keeps ALL the FAQs you need, in one easy site, for free, without stupid ads or flashy thingies. And it's been pretty damn permanent, up until now, so you could pretty much tell people that they were stupid, and they should read the relevant RFCs about how stupid they are, and also that the newsgroup to which they are currently subscribed is moderated, because of stupid people like them, and that if they weren't so stupid they'd know that, from reading the relevant FAQ, namely,
http://www.faqs.org/fa qs/by-newsgroup/alt/alt.stupidity.html
...or some such.
Anyways, I was just writing a big-ass flame email to stupid Yahoo! Groups, who are really stupid and make really retarded non-standard digests of their email group postings, which seriously pisses me off because then Gnus can't read the digest automatically, which means I have to slog through it by hand, which is absolutely WRONG because I am a busy man and I have no time for this.
And, of course, I was referring the butt-related persons at Yahoo! Groups to the relevant RFCs which show how butt-related they are (namely, 1341 and 1153), and I was checking the FAQS.org site to make sure these were the right ones, and I realized that FAQS.org has big scary WE NEED MONEY messages all over the place, so then I gave them money.
And then I wrote this article to get you to give them money, so it keeps going on. Because I don't want my cover blown, and I'm sure you don't either. So give FAQS.org some fucken money, eh!? Damn.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
