So, TodayFM have a competition to name as many “things” as possible in 15 seconds. Most people don’t get more than 10, some are lucky with 12 or 14.
What happens when you ask an Irish woman to name as many alcoholic drinks as possible in 15 seconds? She gets 30..

Kernel Source Here!
It looks like Microsoft went after Linux kernel downloaders. Unintentionally perhaps, but there was a lot of users looking for the Windows source code, so perhaps Microsoft were desperate. Like the original author, I also wonder why nobody figured out how to break open a partially downloaded tar.bz2 file within 3 to 4 days..
What's that in his ear?

How to hypnotise a man
Click and drag this photo with your mouse. Warning.. Not Safe for Work! (Thanks Owen for the link!)
Horrors of horrors! Play the psycho music!
Thank you Ryan Tubridy for the winning rendition of various horror flick theme tunes this morning! Cringed first but then laughed at it! Gonna enjoy the coffee and chat with Earhart tomorrow!
Obscure Firefox References and Features
Justin lists some of the features of the new Firefox browser that may appear in the future..
Stealth mode: using specially malformed headers, Firefox will load your web pages and web servers will be unable to log your vists.
My own favourite extension is the Digger extension. This allows you to dig down through a URL easily!
Bad, bad Apple!
My apologies to the owners of this site but it’s going under “Humour” here. Read the following extract and you’ll see why!
Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called… Darwin! That’s right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don’t advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an “Open Source” license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, “lickable” buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.

Kerried Away
Here’s an interesting remix of a John Kerry picture. You could call it the “Janet Jackson mix” I guess. heh. (thanks Firebird for the link!)
How To Survive IKEA
Here’s a very good walk through for those of you heading to IKEA next weekend. We in Ireland are lucky, legislation doesn’t allow such large stores to open here yet, but I guess it also applies to Woodie, Atlantic Homecare and other DIY shops too!
One to print out and take with you.
Netcraft: www.sco.com is a weapon of mass destruction
This is so funny! 🙂 Go read it and wait and see if SCO slashdots Slashdot!
Much of the commentary on the SCO distributed denial of service scenario, including our own, has been based on the premise that SCO badly wants to keep their web site running. This may not be the case: unlike Microsoft, which has a real business to run and a real need to keep its web site operational, SCO Executives may not strongly care about the availability of www.sco.com. After all, Michael Doyle’s half a billion dollar patent win against Microsoft scarcely hinged on the response times of the Eolas web site.
In fact, the author of the MyDoom virus has delegated control of the most enormous volume of http traffic that the Internet has yet seen to hostmaster@sco.com. On a whim, SCO can direct that Tsunami at an object of their choosing, simply by changing an A record in named.conf in time for the change to propagate by Sunday.
