How Your Retirement Package Compares To Members Of Congress. Nice of them to exempt themselves from having to contribute more to their very, very nice pension.
They bumped up the rate at which federal employees contribute to their pension plan, saving an estimated $15 billion over the next 11 years.They also made sure that none of the increase applied to themselves. Anyone in service before the law went into effect would pay into the pension plan at the old rate.
For all the talk you hear from Capitol Hill about running government more like a business, Congress has a retirement plan that would make any Fortune 500 executive blush. Members can retire younger, having contributed fewer of their own dollars, than almost any worker in the country — even more than the generous terms other federal workers get.
It's not like they need the pension when they leave office. Most Of Them End Up Being Well Paid as lobbyists or at think tanks. Hell, a lot of them make a killing with investments based on inside information. Nearly half of the former congresscritters of the 112th Congress are lobbyists. As Instapundit wrote, Tax The Revolving Door. Space Sex
According to some "researchers", Sex In Space Will Kill You. Well that'll suck for that couple that gets picked to go to Mars. Sounds like fapping still won't kill you but doing it in zero-G might present some new problems. Tune in next week when "researchers" say STD's in space will turn you into an alien.

My first program was a loop that said,"Mr. Fulkerson is a fag". He was.
So, he threw me across 4 rows of desks and I didn't get to use the Commodore 64 again.
I protested to my vice principal that he had, you know, tossed me across 4 rows of desks, and got d-hall for 2 weeks.
My dad also totally agreed I needed it.

Jacob as bishop of Edessa wrote about this habit: "If they belonged to our church, those who have the mad audacity to immerse an insensate piece of bronze in the waters of baptism and to render ridiculous the mysteries of Christianity - well, I would have something to say, but they are heretics and strangers to the Church. How can I judge outsiders?"

I've been amusing myself by translating Christian literature from under the Arabs. Elias of Nisibin and Eutychius last week; Jacob this week. Elias and Jacob were easier since they've already been translated to French. Eutychius was a little harder since that's just in Arabic and translated to Latin - but, fortunately, that bastard just plagiarised a lot of Islamic literature, and what he ripped off has been translated to English.

Snotty NYC Bartenders Are Terrorizing Customers Whose Only Offense Is Daring To Order Vodka Sodas And Other 'Moron' Drinks. War on AoSHQ lifestyle? No love for the val-u-rite.
Actually the offense is going into a bar run by hipster douchebags who think their little hole in the wall invented some new fantastic niche drink that hip Noo Yawkahs will pay 30 bucks a drink for.
If you go to a hip niche place with a douchey "theme", you're asking for attitude while you get it up the squeakhole
McSorley's in the East Village only serves ale with stale pretzels, but you don't get attitude from the bartenders

A. No, everybody knows that Popes (much like vampires) do not cast shadows.
B. No, that is the Pope's hat wrangler.
C. No, that is the Pope's stunt double.

I drink but I like to pace myself. A glass of whisky, a glass of coke, then a glass of water to cleanse the palate. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Well, there's the little round skull cap thingy in both red and white, and then there's the crown-like summer travel hat, and a papal-visor for golf outings, and of course the familiar heart valve shaped pointy one in small, medium, large and Super Big-Gulp. So I'm guessing at least 8.

I'll back him up on this. Virtue and PX are owned by a restaurant group with an excellent reputation and whose flagship restaurant is one of the best in the DC area. Their head mixologist is stellar at what he does and they train their people well. If PX, Virtue or another place owned by the same organization ends up being the place, you're in good hands.

Actually grog is SALT watered rum. Until the 60's every British sailor got a pint of rum ration everyday.
It was a way to make rum go further, 50/50 saltwater and rum, grog.
Posted by: Billy Bob, pseudo intellectual at March 15, 2013 10:44 PM (wR+pz)
Er, no. Considering that hangovers are largely dehydration, salt water and alcohol would not be an appropriate mix. As 'wog has it, it helped disinfect the drinking water.

After Virtue, we stumble over to Chadwick's and get hammered on cheap vodka with off-duty waitresses.
One of the things I miss about Portland is that the Morrison Street Bar and Grill had decent priced drinks and was within staggering distance of about three strip clubs. I could get hammered and then go sober up by watching boobies.

I just looked for a second, then stammered out, "how long has it been doing that????" And she said, "just a couple of seconds, I hopped out and hopped back in again." Then it stopped, normally, like it's supposed to.
Then she busted out laughing and asked, "are you perhaps a little paranoid about it?" "After three fill valves," I huffed, "it ain't paranoia anymore."

The photo was sent to me by a Moronette, whose nic I do not recall. She used her real e-mail address to send it to me, so obviously I won't use that name.
It was her grandmother, mother and cousin, and the photo was taken in 1969.
Other than that, I am woefully ignorant.

Re grog, I recall reading that 18th-early19th century rum was commonly much stronger than modern bottle rum, something like 160 proof. Grog was actually pretty close to modern bottled rum, alcohol content wise.

Why on earth would someone endure a rude, snot-nosed bartender who won't give them the drink they ask for? Is that the new normal-thank you sir, may I have another-? Or does this only happen in New York? Cause I am pretty sure that if a bartender got snotty with me, I would be snotty right back.
I'm reminded of the scene in Lonesome Dove when Gus (Robert Duvall) deals with the uppity (uh, oh, can I use that word?) bartender.

Frankly,
This social issue may well indeed bury the Elephants in the graveyard.
That is indeed the plan......of the Leftist agenda, anyone who thinks they want otherwise...is the Speaker of the House.
Go ahead....slit your wrists over this...THEY WANT US TO!!!
And Worse, They Think we will.......they are smackin their collective lips that we will....
I mean, after all....it's ONLY a social issue....what harm.....what harm?

I always think of it as some place mostly sheltered from the wind which does not have any standing water or water flowing through it but is dripping and damp and really unpleasant and dark.

Yow is now working her magic at NC State. After firing Friedgen(sp?) for winning coach of the year, then running Gary Williams out, she left the athletic department deep in the red. So NC State thought it would be a good idea to hire her and work her magic. So, she fires Tom O'Brien after he took the team to several straight bowl games, and now is on the hook for his salary while he is the OC at UVa for the next several years.

Asus evidently has a warranty on the motherboard independent of the computer.....but gets overall downtwinkles regarding customer service. And some Amazon reviewers have indicated that it can crap out -- though most love it.

Well, I can attest that I could well see her inspiring this bit from 1887:
"For you are such a smart little craft –
Such a neat little, sweet little craft,
Such a bright little, tight little,
Slight little, light little,
Trim little, prim little craft!"
[ -- still performed today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5t0afFApPM ]
Except her 1887 "jack tar" has been transmogrified into a 2013 US Marine. Perhaps the same lyric with metal accompaniment?

Scattershot ideas:
Blow out the dust with a hairdrier on 'Cool.'
Check your power strip. It may need to be reset, cleaned, limited to only your CPU and monitor.
Test your monitor with another computer.
Check the CPU fan for seating. If it's loose, take it off and look at the CPU. If there's discoloration you know what has happened.
If not, wiggle the RAM sticks. If they're tight in their slots, try taking one stick out and booting.

Components like caps/resistors/diodes drift a bit as they age and/or get really hot. Usually the engineers will spec that the components used should be in a 5/10/whatever percent range of nominal for a design to function properly. If the parts actually assembled are all on the low end of acceptable tolerance, eventual failure is almost certain.
If a design called for 10% tolerance parts, and the manufacturer actually used 5% tolerance parts, then there's a lot of room for drift in component specs before the thing misbehaves.
Tight tolerance parts are of course more expensive, so that sort of thing doesn't happen too often.
It used to be that parts were tested prior to assembly on boards (all the old IBM PS/2's were done this way)...that's no longer the case, because its expensive to test individual components. Now they're just assembling the board, and MAYBE doing board level testing if you're lucky. Some just slap the whole mess together in a PC and see if it powers up and ship it.
All the old PS/2's spent 3 days in an environmental chamber getting hit with heat/cold shock/vibe all the while running a full system diagnostic. Only after they passed that did they go in the box.
Nobody does that kinda shit anymore.

^^^THIS
I had picked up a nice dual-core x64 curbside PC that was "dead" the other day. The mem stick that was supplying the lower 640K of memory was fucked. The thing wouldn't even POST because the BIOS bootstrap some functioning RAM to do its thing...it ain't much, but if the first stick is bad, you're going nowhere and it won't even initialize the display or emit diagnostic beeps. The thing will seem stone dead.

Components like caps/resistors/diodes drift a bit as they age and/or get really hot. Usually the engineers will spec that the components used should be in a 5/10/whatever percent range of nominal for a design to function properly. If the parts actually assembled are all on the low end of acceptable tolerance, eventual failure is almost certain.
If a design called for 10% tolerance parts, and the manufacturer actually used 5% tolerance parts, then there's a lot of room for drift in component specs before the thing misbehaves.
Tight tolerance parts are of course more expensive, so that sort of thing doesn't happen too often.
It used to be that parts were tested prior to assembly on boards (all the old IBM PS/2's were done this way)...that's no longer the case, because its expensive to test individual components. Now they're just assembling the board, and MAYBE doing board level testing if you're lucky. Some just slap the whole mess together in a PC and see if it powers up and ship it.
All the old PS/2's spent 3 days in an environmental chamber getting hit with heat/cold shock/vibe all the while running a full system diagnostic. Only after they passed that did they go in the box.
Nobody does that kinda shit anymore.

Was also about as good of security as a boot password. People walking up to the machine would be baffled as to how it turned on.
One thing I've run into over the years is static charge buildup in the PSU. Can make the system completely inert. Apple Mac towers came with a button on the PSU to fix the condition but its pretty rare on PC gear.

The reference disk autoconfig would not allow you to get a bad configuration, and would tell you when some combination of shit was flat out unresolvable.
The higher end ones like the Model 95's would flag bad memory modules and map them out of the system too, so a machine wouldn't be necessarily be down until you were willing to take it down

This is the one bit of equip in a self-built PC that you shouldn't look for the cheapest available.
It's more future-proof than almost any other component, and cheap crap will cause nightmares.

Wouldn't put much stock in a newspaper article from then. It was never among the articles listed. Swiped? Dunno, sounds a bit dodgy. With hindsight, it sounds feasible, but, really? Amongst the aftermath of the titanic, some crewman just decides... "I'll have that... yoink!" A sea soaked violin? What was he doing with it, anyway? The ship's going down, he's looking death in the face and he decides to pack up the violin and strap it to his body, or something? Whatever floatation it might provide is going to be more than offset by it as an encumberance. A cello, maybe, but a violin? It just seems to be pushing believeability in the final seconds of the sinking. It not showing up, at all, before now? It doesn't add up. I'm not dismissing what you're saying. Anything's possible, I guess. It wouldn't be that hard to put together a con for this, considering the potential payoff.

I'd put it this way: You're going to change the MoBo and CPU every few years. All you need is a pair that is stable. Cheap is ok if others have bought the combo and posted positive reviews online.
CPU
You only have two choices: Intel or AMD. AMD's cheaper. Intel is more expensive. Not much to think about there.
RAM
Ram is hella cheap if you're not looking for overclocked, multi-colored, anodized spangle-ware. Again, look for stable products.

It gets worse the more you experience it. If you prepared tax returns in 1989 (I did) and see a similar situation in a 2012 return, wouldn't you want to treat it the same way? Bzzzzzzt!!! The more experience you have with prior tax regimes, the WORSE you are when dealing with current ones, 'cause they'll inevitably be conflated in your mind.
OTOH, you do gain some canniness when it comes to long-term planning. You'll have seen the various ways the IRS has attacked a specific issue, and you may be able to design something resistant to multiple attack vectors. But it takes a certain subtlety to understand the difference between "what do I do now?" and "what approach should I take now and in the future?"

""WHY are we always talking about GUNS!!
"I wish we did not have to talk about GUNS!
Maybe it would be better if Obama got rid of all GUNS....GUNS.....GUNS!!!!
Sheeple only wish to be lead by their nose to their own slaughter....and they always go to their own slaughter.....like sheeple.

Eh, I've been offered a spot to post here and there before. Used to moderate/trollbust here too. I just lack sufficient motivation to do it on a consistent basis.

Too bad it takes some light fucking showers for you to make the switch, Ecclestone.
You fucking ass.
And the race proper still only starts at 2:00 AM Eastern.

another core dump on the simulation means I'm too pissed off at it to do any more productive work tonight

I've stayed up past 4 AM expecting a motorsport resolution.
Well, start-position resolution.
But still.
And now I have only the dregs of some Whyte and Mackay (hey, that's actually F1-related Scotch ... you're welcome, Force India!) to comfort me.

Shoot!! I have most def...overshot.....
yeah, things are tough, but, who for the most part is it not tough? Are we all not having a bit of a hard time these days?
It is all we can do to keep our vision clear and our drive alive and our spirits up when we want to cry.....
I'm hanging in and keeping strong....
Love to ya Chemjeff.....

Staffel 3? Isn't 'Staffel' German for squadron? Shouldn't this be Witzgeschwader 3?

Program (or OS itself) crashes and all of memory is written to the disk so someone can try to sift through the wreckage later and try and find out why it blew up.
Real OS's usually include a dump formatting utility that will assist in the postmortem groveling through that file.
Its a real primitive scheme for the very stout of heart with a LOT of time on their hands.
These days, you'd try debugging with a debug kernel that talks to a PC running a terminal emulator through a COM port before you'd go to a core dump.
Debugging core dumps is your absolute last resort for problems that only happen on retail kernels...before you break out the hardware ICE debuggers and scopes/logic probes...which cost REALLY BIG CASH.

Actually, grog is watered rum.
Good ol' Bosun's Grog.
Rum
Water
Sugar
Lime, or lemon juice.
Morning everyone! Grats to Ace and the cob's. Great looking lady EC.
