If this wasn’t a test, I suppose I’d be told to await further instructions from local civil authorities… who’d no doubt kick me out of my house, steal my guns, and herd me into the local shelter, where I’d be menaced by ‘reports’ of zombies, rape gangs, or possibly zombie rape gangs.
Sorry about that folks. There was a problem with the virtual server running Protein Wisdom. (Specifically, it had plenty of disk space, but was out of “inodes”, so it could access all the existing files but couldn’t create new ones. That caused the odd intermittent problems you would have seen.)
– Rather interesting reading the reactions over at HuffNpoop. Oh, and Fein-fascist didn’t let the sun set before issuing her usual “gun control for thee but not for me” bs, while she was busy making out the renewal application for her own conceal and carry. Dianne Hipocrit (D-CA).
For those who don’t know how *nix works, an “inode” is fundamental to the organization of a filesystem. When you create a file, even if it has no content at all (literally 0 bytes long), it is assigned an inode. As you add to the file, the inode keeps track of each disk allocation unit assigned to it, and updates fields like “last updated” time/date.
As the inodes themselves take up space, it’s important not to allocate so many of them that there are no data clusters left to assign to some of the inodes. But it’s equally important not to make the opposite mistake, which is what appears to have happened in this case. Basically, the average file size is smaller than was anticpated when the filesystem was created.
And if I ever get out of moderation, you’ll be able to read this.
Before the sunsets tomorrow, Aaron Alexis (le shooter) is going to morph into a sharp-shooter with triple agent background and kung-fu fighting skillz.
that thread was epic, though not necessarily in the good sense, cuz last I saw this morning was the lame-lament that Constitution be damned, our hatey-hate was why no gay should ever be conservative.
The Costa Concordia is back up on her keel, and blowing her horn. The starboard side is pretty well mashed in and she’s sitting down to her gunnels, i.e., not floating, but hey, that roll is quite a feat.
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin—just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it’s a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this—this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.” Winston Churchill said, “The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals.” And he said, “There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
We will keep in mind and remember that Barry Goldwater has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny. link
The primary purpose of the outward direction of these movements
is always, as we have seen, to have an impact on society, not to
affect the power structure, at least not directly and immediately.
Independent initiatives address the hidden sphere; they demonstrate
that living within the truth is a human and social alternative and they
struggle to expand the space available for that life; they help – even
though it is, of course, indirect help – to raise the confidence of
citizens; they shatter the world of ‘appearances’ and unmask the real
nature of power. They do not assume a messianic role; they are not a
social ‘avant-garde’ or ‘elite’ that alone knows best, and whose task
it is to ‘raise the consciousness’ of the ‘unconscious’ masses (that
arrogant self-projection is, once again, intrinsic to an essentially
different way of thinking, the kind that feels it has a patent on some
‘ideal project’ and therefore that it has the right to impose it on
. society). Nor do they want to lead anyone. They leave it up to
each individual to decide what he or she will or will not take from
their experience and work.
Please excuse Bobby from missing yesterday’s test.
He had been up all night preventing the Evil & Dark Forces of Leftism from Immanentizing The Eschaton in, of all places, Cumquat, Illinois and fell asleep while eating his Wheaties yesterday morning, and I thought it best not to bother him because he was still clutching a small tactical nuclear weapon.
Mr. Ceaser helpfully points out that contrary to the schoolbook teaching that geoffb’s link depicts [“Here is a summary of the rights guaranteed in each amendment: . . . “], we have the text!
*** Most people today fail to recognize what a great innovation it was for a nation to adopt and be governed by a written constitution. No other political order anywhere or at any time had tried or succeeded in sketching its form of government by an actual law that subsequently could be consulted by the public and by members of the judiciary.
The precedents here were the American state constitutions. As Thomas Jefferson observed in a letter to his friend John Cartwright in 1824: “Virginia, of which I am myself a native and resident, was not only the first of the States, but, I believe I may say, the first of the nations of the earth, which assembled its wise men peaceably together to form a fundamental constitution, to commit it to writing, and place it among their archives, where every one should be free to appeal to its text.” ***
For similar and demonstrable reasons, I believe it’s best to learn such things as our plane geometry from Euclid, rather than from third or fourth hand accounts of Euclid. Or our Chaucer from Chaucer, Livy from Livy, etc.
“Seriously? It’s like a hundred years old and stuff. They didn’t have the internet back then. How could it be relevant to today? ”
Also it’s made of dried up old rape, capitalism, and slavery and it wasn’t written by women, the poor, or minorities. Or Marx. Surely it is debris from a prior age, aching to be demolished in the dialectic struggle. It is the shit of resentful fatcats left in the shoe of history to defile the foot of the workers.

DAMMIT I DIDN’T STUDY!
I know you wrote “test,” but what you really meant was something racist, I’m sure, given that only white people do well on tests, you know.
good morning Mr. Jeff how are you I am fine

Test Tickle.
If this were a real tickle, ….
I got a 404 error this morning trying to access the blog from home. Was (obviously) able to access from work just now.
P- actual test is solid copy, we are oscar mike.

Still moderated. NSA? Is that you?

A moderated test.

Comment?
It works….
Dammit, I didn’t study! And I forgot my pants! And I haven’t been in school since…
Um… my dog ate my study notes??
At least you’re not immoderate.
May I be excused? I think I have to go to the nurse’s office. I have a tummy ache.
Don’t get testy with me!
Pass/fail? Or more like a Rorschach?
– All my comments are awaiting moderation…. since sometime yesterday…and there better not be any math.
I was told there would be no math.
The answer is “42”.

Should be all fixed now.
Good job, Pixy.
I was jonesing to talk about the shooter.

thx pixy misa

Testicles is my favorite Greek playwright; his works are very challenging and iconoclastic. But I find the plays of Mediocrates much more accessible.

Monster, it was the gay bakery thread that was the culprit.
I never want to see it again.
did the bakery thread go over 2000?

errr… btw, I just did a quick look and tried to rescue any legit comments languishing in moderation hell…
there were some spam things, too. Hopefully I got them all deep-sixed.
Darleen,
I took a peek at it yesterday and it was crossing into, “Because, shut up!!!1111!!!” territory.
Cripes.
I find his prose turgid, his characters stiff and his plots predictable.
If you look just to the left you’ll see my “saw that coming” face.
Yes, but he packaged it all very nicely and stood out from his contemporaries.
“??????? ?? ?????? ??? ?? ??? ????? ???? ?????????? ???” ??? ???????? was amazing.
Of course a lot of people think he was nuts.

Sorry for the non-English font fail. That should have read ” Kleísei to skasmó kai na mou dó sei píso gyro mou”

The answer is “42?

Do you know where your glorious heritage went? Yep, shed a tear.
Scott Johnson: Where is the Constitution?
Carl Scott: Constitution Day and the Democrats
Peter Lawler: Do we have to respect the Whole Constitution?
James Ceaser: Celebrating Madison in Jefferson country
Constitution? That old thing?
Seriously? It’s like a hundred years old and stuff. They didn’t have the internet back then. How could it be relevant to today?
Constitution? We teach that. Teach it real gooder. See. See how well we prep students for the AP test’s questions.
tracy says any old city councilman can pass law that supersedes that dusty old constitution.
