8/25: Image backlog clearing

Assateague in late July.



The Boeing X-32B Joint Strike Fighter, a prototype fighting for a government contract against Lockheed Martin, makes a vertical landing. As much as I'm against war, the technologies of war are always pretty cool. The $200B price tag shuts down any coolness factor pretty quickly, though.



A few months back some guy announced that he had developed "Quake for cats"; that just meant he had come up with software that showed things in a way that interests cats. This week on "The Daily Show" they featured competing cat videos, to much hilarity, and this reminded me of the image I had in the queue for quite some time.



A bunch of marks are "de-coined" by a special "de-coining" machine in preparation for the EU currency.



An orphan baby wombat.



A rare albino camel is born.

It was on Yahoo News, but long ago enough that they no longer have an active photo or story about it...

You cna lead a horse to water......
hawhawhaw
Yes i am having a bad day. And it started with Debian
look at the claws on that wombat!

no longer feel your pain....

<i>Yes i am having a bad day. And it started with Debian</i>

Well....there's your problem right there !
Can't 'apt-get' yerself started in the morning?
Tired of 'less-than-rock-solid' performance?


there is a better way...

<shameless_plug> ya gotta have slack </shameless_plug>

I think the X-32B Joint Strike Fighter looks fat. I know nothing about it but I like the looks of the F-22 much better. Mabye the X-32B doesn't show up well on radar, who knows, but it looks like it has no payload. I probably don't like it though because I don't like VTOL aircraft.

The crunched up money seems wrong. I hope they recycle it.

And last the mother of the albino camel reminds me of a drugged out hippie.

Don't get me wrong - debian is great
once you get though the fscking installer
Oh yea then try getting X to work wihtout apt becuase the version bundeled is too old foryour card
then try lilo going apeshit coz you forgot to reconfigure it after moving a partition...
So i gave up, whimped out and used mendrake - its good for desktop - honest sir!

Those wacky guys in the Pentagon

It's a field day in the Pentagon, what with the F-22 and the Boeing JSF candidate. The F-22 is coming to us via Lockheed Martin (an ex-employer of mine) for the Special Save the Free World Price of $200M per copy.

There is a hilarious critique (in French) of the F-22 at de defensa.
