Yeah, they're really sensitive like that. But lo and behold, they will start whining for you to take them back.... Are we talking about the same thing?

Yes.

I'm sure a lot of guys like to gel their hair too, and also use conditioner.
My hair has three states, mostly related to its length:
- I don't really need to do anything but wash it, but it looks better with a little gel (quite short)
- I need to use conditioner to get a comb or brush through it (long)
- All the gel in the world won't hold it in place (anything in between). It is currently in this state.

Status: Just read about this weird obscure alt-reality game going on inside some indie games: http://steamed.kotaku.com/for-years-a-few-steam-games-seem-to-have-been-hiding-a-1754982338
Huh.
That site says Steam has something to do with it, but also says one of the games involved is a web game so who knows.
I like the guy who crammed the pieces onto a map of Canberra even though they don't even slightly fit with anything at all: http://imgur.com/M4rk4yE

Status: Bought a Surface Book. Current downsides:
- They seem to ship from factory with 0 charge on batteries so UEFI/BIOS date was Nov last year. Once I got system setup got SSL warnings for google.com. Initial reaction was but I remembered reading about this in a review.
- Non-scaling DPI when using remote desktop for systems pre-Win 8. Means I have to set RDP settings to 1920x1080 and zoom.
- Trying to take notes on it will take practice. Lack of resistance makes everything look like serial-killer hand writing.

A cow orker got one of those around the time they were released. They seem pretty great, but my Yoga 2 Pro is good enough for me still, apart from the lack of GPU. Even so, I do want one...

STATUS:
HTML/CSS teacher just explained that moving the mouse around on the computer slows down the FTP upload (of a... like, 10 meg site) because the computer has to process more things and will get slowed down

And because the site we're uploading it to doesn't start with "www", it's not on the world wide web.
sigh

That teacher isn't qualified to teach anything computing-related

To be fair, that might have been true in the past, like 1985 or something.

Status: Earlier today, I entered the wrong TLD for npmjs.com. I was greeted by about twelve redirects followed by a text to speech voice telling me that what I did was very bad and that I should call the number on my screen for help. Also a 1000000-line alert() in a while(true).
Why are you letting random third parties run code on your computer, or allow them to force you to make http requests on your behalf?
-

Yeah. I'm afraid of what might happen if when I inevitably dare to deviate from the predefined html/css templates.

I'm thinking that's what he's referencing, except he doesn't actually seem that old.

Not everyone looks as old as they actually are. With a stylish haircut and better exercise, I could probably pass for 10 years younger than my actual age.

Yeah, I'm hoping that's the reason.
There's a nonzero chance that he's just medicine-methoding or making crap up though

Next thing I'm going to learn is that the people here only wash once a week.
2-3 times a week, at most. It all depends upon how dirty/sweaty I get.
A year after I left construction for good I was at the doctor for a checkup. He asked if I had any questions or concerns. I mention that my skin had been really dry and itchy for a few months. He knew I had left construction and asked how often I bathed. When I told him that I showered every day he told me to stop it. Since I was not spending any large amount of time in the heat anymore, nor doing any manual labor, I really only needed to shower 1-2 times a week and that showering every day was the cause of my skin being dry.
Now, when I work out I rinse off in the shower afterwards (cool shower to cool down and perhaps rinse off chlorine from the pool), but no soap. I shower roughly twice a week and I am not itchy anymore. Bathe when you need to, but for tech people who spend their days fairly sedentary, bathing every day is too much.

You mean people who whitelist javascript so that they can see which third-parties are trying to run untrusted code to do things like "text to speech voice" and "call this phone number with your credit card" and "while(true) alert".
good idea.
Tell you what, you go to some bass-rando squatto site like http://ogoole.com/ and let it run whatever completely legit javascript is there. Then continue to do that. Let me know when you catch a Malwares. (hint: you won't have to let us know. The spambot that takes over your computer will do that for you).
FYI, that completely legit script is:
<script type="text/javascript"> var c = 'kRBzBvQCdTBNDtobR5cwoihjqQPYjWB2vznha2sdCjZlN6200PPj4ibFgMEgcDcP6vfCF1awKqxtL4CV6pIMBkcWZFdENrLWh7B40c8ELHH6KZMUSmEPV3Di5ODMgPI0kV%2BM6XEvluARz%2BsEEjV4hwlqFqFYyMV9jWoUeRlBxHSxsCHWz63kZ9WXpD1ADlrIWnYOxblM1qXR8G64%2F0n5HC9NJ1drYYkruPzFUuFGFSOdo2%2F2vhJulW7n4JBXKB1sZXrlf1h4UtF9SqKe3k5xxzwIwqV8L4HhbMiU5PsOM%2Bs8oB%2BJMPCw9C332d3mpoGrCyOlx6mbzaZ2HB57pTkOH6iJHVYAlQgePloSvetn1%2FL7TJppvQ8EoTXVI4RSQYCx1wndkbih%2B7x7HHxxX6PgBRiA%2BazA9dcFRNto1%2BXZQaeN7OmrfTwTMIPzqXIuCXAapgligelR%2FJl7kFCJT79AvhxADRqJvhyXbLpeUxYCX1S0kDKV5lhtW5pksz1j7pt1q46j%2BWcE933SIFbccO1gAA%3D%3D'; var b = String.fromCharCode(61); var a = 'http://park.above.com/jr.php?gz'; window.location.replace(a + b + c); </script>

Approved. I'll give everything a good scrub twice a week or so, but the rest of the week is just rinse off the scuz, shampoo the hair and a quick whack with the soap on the smelly parts.

You mean:
- a thing that can be done with HTML5 and zero javascript
- a thing that JavaScript cannot do in a sandboxed browser
- a thing that my browser explicitly gives me a way to stop a site from doing once it attempts to open more than one alert

Status: Haven't been around much lately. I stopped at a client's location on Friday. They had an issue that something I have been working on is meant to solve (specialized CRM). It has been on the backburner for a few months. I say, "Hey, let me go grab my laptop from my vehicle, I have something to show you".
Meeting ends with them wanting to move forward right away. They wanted it within a week. I tell them that it is nowhere near ready. Shit keep progressing and ends with them saying, "I don't care if it has some wrinkles, we want it yesterday. Give me a price." Price I quoted was astro-fucking-nomical, with the caveat that there will be bugs and they should expect to be alpha testers. "No worries. Send us a bill. Can you come in and give a demo on Monday in the manager's meeting?"
So, if you ever wanted to know how shit ends up getting sold in a half-ass completed state, still in development, six months from being ready for beta testing...that is how it happens.

George Carlin once did a bit where he said the only things you really need to wash are: armpits, assholes, crotch and teeth, and you can save time by using the same brush for all of those areas.

No, I haven't met any of you fuckers. Why would I.
I mean, I knew Boomzilla's the King of all Republicans, but I think he's more the sitting on the estate porch in Georgia sipping $400 sherry type of Republican than the "hey Bill, hold my beer and watch me kick this cow" type of Republican.

No. It doesn't.
This isn't it, but it's my usual pickup truck (practicing epic douche parking at Home Depot). So set your redneck gauge appropriately.The lift job belongs to a friend and just happened to be left in my garage.

JavaScript should not be able to infect your computer. If it can, there's a much bigger problem with your shitty browser.

I actually did that once with an actual picture of a pistol. It said "fuck [forum member's name]" on the piece of paper.
Picture's still on the website, I think, but I don't remember the URL.
