  1. His durability wouldn't have been a problem if he hadn't played hurt in the first place.
  2. It was a Beat Generation moniker, so it was likely coopted by Kerouac and company from the African American community and dates from earlier, possibly originating in the Jazz Age. That's different than the euphemism for a prostitute, which could be even earlier, perhaps the late 19th Century.
  3. No, it just means your topic is uninteresting.
  4. So, does that mean no one knows what happened to Peanutcat?
  5. Bucket? Yeah. that's Bucket.
  6. Happy Birthday!
  7. I eagerly await news of what new unfortunate one of God's creatures ends up in his oven unintentionally and ironically.
  8. I never doubted you, Nabs. Never.
  9. He should be proud.
  10. Nabs survived the entire decade on what I made in a year.
  11. Whole house tankless?
  12. I should make up an award like that. The sheep will love it.
  13. Sounds excellent. The Church of the Doughy Redeemer hereby challenges you to a Holy War.
  14. Cool. The bug was sensationalized to be sure, in part because there are a few critical systems (such as air-traffic control) where dates are a critical element. The reality is that including values for centuries and millennia isn't as important for the vast majority of systems, and ultimately amounted to minor inconveniences for end users. For those tasked with making sure the programs were functioning properly, though, it was an immense headache.
  15. I'm just guessing that he hasn't ever coded, so the concept of defining a variable inside of the program itself isn't something he's considering.
  16. If I recall correctly, it has something to do with the number of bits whatever program makes available for storing dates. Two digits is not the same as two bits (1 or 0), and when storing that four digit number, you have to expand the number of allotted spaces in memory for storage. It's a little difficult to describe if you haven't learned some form of coding, even BASIC.
  17. Dude... you're more than just shy. At any rate, she was encouraging the interaction, but wasn't getting the kind of interaction that she was hoping for, so that would suggest that he was going along to an extent but not fully buying into it. Some of the cues might be somewhat confusing to someone who doesn't necessarily know how to pick up on the subtle intricacies of the mating ritual. Clearly he sees her as attractive and fun to be with - so he also may just not have had enough time to get to know her. At this point, she's early enough in that she can continue to be friends with him and allow the both of them to get to know each other.
  18. You won a day? Congratulations!
  19. Somehow, I find it hard to believe you would ever set foot in that conference and make it out alive.
  20. Probably a good idea, now. At least clear the air and make sure there isn't any hurt feelings or misunderstandings.
  21. Well, it was always entertaining at least.
  22. Let's not go back to the days of Musket word salads.
