Have you ever wanted to run your OWN apache webserver complete with MySQL, PHP, PYTHON, PERL, XMAIL, PGSQL, SLIMFTPD, and OPENSSL? Alot of people do. Unfortunatly the amount of headaches involved in installing all of those seperatly scares most wanabe server-admins off. So… How can you get all of this in one easy to use package? The answer is Apache2Triad. It combines all of the above into one install and configures everything so that it will run right away, no extra headaches. I was up and running with it in about 10 minutes, including installing wordpress ontop of it all. Its quite amazing. This package is windows only however, so if your into linux or mac you might want to look at this page for some other packages: here

Chicago: One hand on wheel, one hand on horn.
New York: One hand on wheel, one finger out window.
New Jersey: One hand on wheel, one finger out window, cutting across all lanes of traffic.
Boston: One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator.
Scarborough, Ontario: Both hands clenched on steering wheel, driver staring directly forward, cutting in front of you and slowing down to 40 in a 60 zone then looking in rearview mirror in wonder as to why the car behind is flashing high beams.

A great stop action video recreating the famous game, “Space Invaders”.

Mr. IBloon person demands a post from me, so here we go.
A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
“House” for instance, is feminine: “la casa.”
“Pencil,” however, is masculine: “el lapiz.”
A student asked, “What gender is ‘computer’?”
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether
“computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The
men’s
group decided that “computer” should definitely be of the feminine
gender (”la computadora”), because
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The
native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are
stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon
as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your
paycheck on accessories for it.
The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine
(”el computador”), because 1. In order to do anything with them, you
have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think
for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but
half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one,
you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have
gotten a better model.
The women won.

A absolutely hilarious rebuttal against mac’s series of recent TV ads about why macs are better than windows.
