Geeky amusement

The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox, or How to fit (at least) 3 bugs into 512 bytes of security code

OK, I thought it was amusing. Given a bug rate of 6 bugs per kilobyte, that means my SP2-patched version of XP has.... oh my.

Dear God,

Thanks for the thunder last night, that was mighty cool.

Also, have you seen kate_nepveu's list of Cheerful Things?

Ta,

Your Favorite Agnostic

Glad you enjoyed it, but watch out for the lightning next time, it may be aimed.

BTW, if you're agnostic, to whom are you speaking?

ObQuote: "Gods like having an atheist around; it gives them something to aim at."

BTW, if you're agnostic, to whom are you speaking?

To a possibly deluded but entertaining party who may or may not be of the deitical persuasion, and who am I to judge?

Yes yes, I read that Pratchett book too, you know. And the ones not yet written in your current temporal coordinate as well.

Good mortal, understanding when to not make judgement calls without more data. Of course, you've met me, so you actually do know I'm a god.

Yes yes, I read that Pratchett book too, you know.

Well, I would certainly hope so. I imagine Pratchett would be quite high on every theoretical deity's reading list.

Of course, you've met me, so you actually do know I'm a god.

Mmm. Though of course that makes it rather a mystery as to why you didn't know about the dogs.

[jsbowden.livejournal.com]

Not just deities, but dieties (half the guilt, all the ritual), and demigods as well (and quite a few heroes too).

I had simply forgotten about the dogs. It's not easy being mostly omniscient, you know. I'm not one of those gods that claims perfection, after all.

Use more than six days next time, ok?

When you can create a whole universe, you can criticize.

I've still never seen this guy. I've seen many quotes, and of course you, The Loy, and others rave about him, but he's dead and doesn't appear to exist on the shelves at the local Blockbuster.

I'm God, and so's my wife!

You know, I really wouldn't... mind that, so much.

A martial-arts-knowing, BMW-appreciating deity is a good thing.

*singsong* Let's all blaspheme together...

But it'd be even better if He appreciated English cars. Those German ones really can't compete -- for Jamie's sake, their wiring isn't even designed by the (legacy of the) Prince of Darkness!

[jsbowden.livejournal.com]

Yes, but neither do modern English cars. Before Austin Powers came out and made them fashionable, and thus, really fucking expensive, I was seriously considering an early 70s XKE Convertible as a toy for weekends and just keeping my Saturn for my daily drive. Of course, the first thing I'd have done was rip out the Lucas electrical system and replace it with a nice Bosch, as actually having working electrics in an old Jaguar would be a necessity. The next thing would have been to rip out the intake and ignition systems, and once again, replace them with modern German fuel inection and ignition systems. Fuck factory restoration, I was going to build a Jag that actually RAN and stayed running.

[corruptedjasper.livejournal.com]

There are people around that take tired old E-types, replace all the electrics, upholstery, etc, with working stuff, put in satnav, CD changers, etc, rebuild the engine -- while tuning it up to give a few dozen percent more bhp --, put in modern disc brakes all round, etc.etc.. Basically building a new car while using the old block, chassis, and bodypanels, and keeping the Look. These are, allegedly, among the Best Cars Ever. But they cost something on the order of 100.000 UK Pounds.
