Which principle ?

Enquiring minds want to know.

I was thinking about donating my hair, but I don't think it reaches the required length + the amount I want left after I cut it yet.

[Jeff Kelly]

One of my most favorite DAOC (I think) sessions was a couple of days after I got my wisdom teeth removed. Hadn't had much pain, so hadn't taken pain killers since the day of the surgery. Got sore, took a couple of Vicodin, and 15 minutes later I was having FUN 

To be fair, with Vicodin you even would have had fun playing Shadowbane or poking your eyes out

10 inches of hair is minimum if you're gonna be charitable about it. 

[Sky]

I just did 18" of hair and still have about a foot :)

[Yegolev]

We are talking about hair on the head.

[Righ]

That is a lot of foot hair though.

[Merusk]

I'd say Sky's part hobbit but they can't grow beards.

[stray]

Part Willy Nelson.

[rattran]

So, a hobbit half-nelson?

[Sky]

I once put a hobbit in a half-nelson.

[Signe]

He can't grow a beard?  Then what's that all over his face?  Foot hair?   

[Lantyssa]

Which principle ?

Internal drama.  Surprisingly, despite being a political organization, I don't put up with political manoeuvring happening internally.  There's a lot more to it, but the final straw was:

The tech committee was the only consistant and functioning group over the past three years.  All in support of our database, office functions, and contacting our list.  (Several politician's campaigns have commented that we had the best organization in the city regarding this, by a long shot.)  Nothing glamorous, but all very necessary to doing what we do best -- getting a block of 30,000 people to vote for our list of endorsed candidates.

Basically the non-board members were told they're no longer to be trusted with keys.  All have been around longer than most of the current board.  We do the work when we can, and by the necessity of tech, it isn't always at convenient hours.  (Did I mention we have no regular office hours?)  Ultimately it was a back-handed way of telling the person who had his hands in everything, because no one else would do it, to get stuffed.  By extension I was as well since it was my committee.

There's more, but the overall story is long, not very interesting to outsiders, and will probably get me worked up from telling.

There have been a lot of posts made awesome because of Sky's avatar, but Daffy + this quote = lots of win.

[Yegolev]

FYI, you can't install AIX 5.3.0-03 CSP on a Power 6.

[Ironwood]

Well, Duh.

[Yegolev]

If I worked for you, would I have a training budget?

[Oban]

I miss /b/

[tazelbain]

I miss /b/

Did something happen to it?

[Hindenburg]

Yes. It is down.

[Ironwood]

If I worked for you, would I have a training budget?

Yes.  A large one.

Trouble is, I'm about to resign.

So, timing is everything.

[Hindenburg]

[trouble is, I'm about to resign.

Is this about that young thing from a few weeks ago?

[tazelbain]

Yes. It is down.

It probably just became sentient and killed itself.

[Ironwood]

[trouble is, I'm about to resign.

Is this about that young thing from a few weeks ago?

Heh.  No.

It'll be over a principle as well, I suspect.  Which was why I was interested in Lantyssas problem.

Principles are hard.  Worse when you have a child and 6 appetites to feed. 

[Merusk]

6? What you have servants now?

[Ironwood]

Old Judge Dredd quote.

Sometimes I forget you guys don't know me at all.   

[Merusk]

You have only yourself to blame, Mr. nine words.   Tho knowing nothing about Dredd other than the awesome Anthrax song and that awful Stallone movie, I'd have missed it anyway.

[Yegolev]

I used the "three shells" line just yesterday.

[Lantyssa]

It'll be over a principle as well, I suspect.  Which was why I was interested in Lantyssas problem.

The main difference being mine was a volunteer position...  though I'm pig-headed enough that I fight my work's system as well.  Thankfully my immediate superiors are very pragmatic so we tend to agree on what is BS.

[Segoris]

I used the "three shells" line just yesterday.

Since the quotes are moving from Dredd to Demolition man:

You really licked his ass.

[rattran]

My first thought was Judge Dread. Now I'm going to have to listen to filthy reggae by a white guy to get it out of my head.

[Murgos]

You have only yourself to blame, Mr. nine words.   Tho knowing nothing about Dredd other than the awesome Anthrax song and that awful Stallone movie, I'd have missed it anyway.

The Anthrax song IS Awesome, crap I'm going to have to go buy the album off iTunes tonight.  Although I bought it 20ish years ago I don't think that justifies me bittorrenting it now.

Borag Thungg Earthlets,

FYI, you can't install AIX 5.3.0-03 CSP on a Power 6.

You can, you just need to recompile it. Your chances of doing so outside the Watson Research Center are slim, however.

Splundig Vur Thrigg, nonscrots.

[apocrypha]

Worse when you have a child and 6 appetites to feed. 

I read that as "a schild and 6 appetites".

[Yegolev]

You can, you just need to recompile it.

Your optimism is what keeps me going.  I, however, chose the pussy route: restore the image onto a Power5, update to 5.3.7, create backup image, restore onto Power6.  After that comes the fun part.

I read that as "a schild and 6 appetites".

I read "a schild and 6 apples".
