This is a link post I've discovered the newest and bestest internet meme (which needs more attention) ever: Lemon Babies.
(It's not what you think, sickos) Apparently feeding babies lemons makes them spasm like Elmer Fudd winding up for a sneeze, then they just go back to normal as if it never happened.
For increased enjoyment, include your favorite mind-altering substance while viewing.

We'd all laugh when he pulled the face, and he soon caught on. He started pulling the face when he ate anything and would watch us expectantly waiting for his audience to laugh. Clever little bugger.

This is a link post Spoof replies to Railtrack solicitors
Has this been mentioned here before? Really sorry if it has. I did a quick search for "Railtrack" on b3ta before posting it and got some amusing results, but not this one. It's a bit elderly now but has remained as far as I know well under the radar.

The story goes that until the company went tits up in 2002, much of Britains railway infrastructure was operated by Railtrack plc. The company was sold to Network Rail.

The removal of Railtrack from the Companies House register allowed a Mr. John Hein to register "Railtrack Ltd" as a company in May 2003.

Those looking up the company would note that the Registered Office is that of an Edinburgh tenement and that the company has remained dormant since incorporation. The rebirth of Railtrack has caused confused solicitors, debt collectors and private individuals to address correspondence to Railtrack Ltd, and in turn, to receive increasingly entertaining replies, copies of which are in the PDF document linked above.

My own favourite bit runs as follows:

"Having had a wide ranging, frank and open discussion with the Rev Baxter this morning, during which the terms, “wankers”, “local authority jobsworthlesses”, “useless cunts”, “lazy idle incompetent pompous bastards” and “just what you expect from the public sector” were freely bandied about in relation to yourselves, Rev Baxter has directed me to apologise for the inexcusable factual error in my letter in relation to the Right Honourable Member for Hull East.

Railtrack Limited fully accepts that the said failed chef was never employed as a cabin boy and apologises unreservedly to the council for the hurt to its corporate fundament and damage to its public image caused by this false and calumnious statement."

This is a normal post What?
You're talking complete garbage, .NET is by far the best programming framework currently available for many reasons. I program in quite a few languages including C/C++ but for sheer rebustness, security, speed of development, .NET is lightyears ahead of everything else, plus the development IDE is second to none.

JAVA is not really a comparrison with .NET.

Plus are you forgetting about Silverlight? That's been ported to Linux / Mac, will be on Windows Phone series 7 when it's released later this year, all powered by a limited subset of the .NET framework.

I've been coding in .NET since the first beta was released and I feel the same about it now as I did then, it's capable of and currently is revolutionising software development and making everything a whole lot better!

 (I helped save b3ta! wideeye slightly pickled, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 11:34, Reply)
This is a normal post I work mostly in .Net, and Visual Studio is pretty good
but I wouldn't pretend it was secure by default, nor would I be shouting about Silverlight. But those are all things I didn't mention.

My only point was, Companies love writing cheques to Microsoft, instead of choosing the right tool for a job. I much prefer the idea of working in .Net than JSP, but that is largely because my set up time is lower, I am pretty used to VS now.

If I wanted to make Youtube from scratch, I wouldn't work in .Net/Silverlight - wrong tool for the job. If I wanted to make something massive like Facebook, again, it is the wrong tool for the job.

Other approaches bring their unique benefits. I wouldn't say its complete garbage, I think it is easy to agree with that. Now what I was saying, I guess was from personal experience - but .Net (and not VB or C# the language) gets used by companies because they did a Microsoft training course that basically taught them some marketing crap, and they can't conceive of any other tools being used. It is narrow minded to buy-in like that. It isn't just limiting, but it is invariably costly.

So... To summarise what I wrote. You go to work, and you program, and you try and enjoy that - because that is what you like doing.
Java and .Net (which is a really broad net to cast) are both compromises.
If you want the security you talk of, you need to patch your server every other week - and even then your Microsoft server will still get picked on. Which isn't in itself massively 'robust'. I work in it, and I guess that is why it is so annoying to me.

I feel like .Net zombifies programmers. You really need to know nothing about computers and very little about programming to work in it.

Java - the critics are lined up over there *points*, pick any stick you want. I happen to think Java is a great language to start out with. But you should acquaint yourself with concepts outwith Java, to learn fully. You can't complain about Java syntactically - it is the same as C#...

I may be speaking complete garbage, but I mean it. I am afraid I can't be as evangelical as you are about .Net and I disagree with most of your positives.

Fleh.

This is a normal post Who cares about illegal? If the intent is to harm me or mine, a pickaxe, sword cane or pointy stick will do.
Edit: how sad that we have to question the legality of a "victim" defending him/herself.

This is a normal post Probably
but they would have to prove it. A guy I know keeps a baseball bat in his car, but he also keeps a baseball and a glove. Not illegal. After all you have to play it outdoors etc.
Might be on sticky ground if he ever does twat someone with it though.

This is a normal post It's a collectors item
Oddly enough, this would be perfectly fine to have under the law (not to carry around, concealed weapon), since its straight, and a properly made blade.
Fake katanas that aren't properly forged (and anything else with a blade with more than a certain amount of bend) are illegal without a collector's licence, but anything well made (i.e. actually designed to kill people) is fine.

Most of this is due to how hard it is to legislate the difference between a weapon, kitchen equipment, and tools (e.g. wood axe, battleaxe, novelty meat cleaver)

This is a normal post sword canes are illegal in the UK
unless they are a certified antique, and even then, you can't wander the streets with them

This is a normal post i actually use a stick
and in the same way those foldy up ones are a bit tricky is you can catch them in the ground, curb, escaltor runner, i've done it on my own shoe. Now while the foldy up sticks cause you to go "oh scruttocks" and have to reassemble slightly... this one exposes the sharpest thing within 5 miles and leaves you with either risk of serious injury or an uncomfortable excuse and apology.

so the comfotable feeling of "it's always there" isn't a comfortable feeling anymore.

is that too many comfortables?

This is a link post Blue bucket protest
Some people in Moscow are fed up with private cars sticking blue lights and sirens on top and ignoring all the traffic laws. So they've started protesting with blue buckets on their heads.

Best bit - where we find out our valiant protestor has double-bucketed, just in case.

He had an emergency backup bucket too :D

Was reading about this the other day, and the number of people taking the piss with blues & twos on private vehicles.
