  • extending down to the anus

    Brings a whole new dimension to the phrase “shit for brains”.

    But on a somewhat more serious thought, could we possibly see evolutionary pressures for adding extra gyri folds in the digestive tract to beef up ENS neuron numbers and density? I wonder if anyone has looked into it from an evolutionary biology perspective yet.

    In the future, could we all have a secondary hind brain like they used to theorize sauropods had, or possibly turn into Krang with his android body if Gordon Ramsey is the next step of human evolution?

    Layer 8 is colloquially the User, as that is the next “layer” up above the application. Only really used in a troubleshooting context indicating where the issue took place, it’s the networking equivalent for an PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair). For this analogy, layer 8 would probably be physics itself though.

    I felt the OSI model was pretty relevant because while speeds and latency has improved astronomically, it is all still run off of the Ethernet framework and the humble copper twisted pair and fiber optic cable aren’t really substantively different than they were in the 70s.

    Another way to look at it is comparing water to electricity itself. No one is complaining that going from the electric light bulb to vacuum tube logic gates to semiconducter logic gates to q-bit logic gates is just “using physics to direct electrons again”.

    Boiling water is just the layer 1 physical transport, all the cool stuff is happening at layers 2-7. The real mind blowing breakthrough would be if they finally did something to fix layer 8, but I ain’t holding my breath.







  • God, I almost trauma blocked the driver situation for that first year or three. My q6600 and 8gb of ram ran like greased lightning, and disabling Aero made it even more responsive than 98SE or XP. (I am a latency and user experience fluidity whore though, so sacrificing eye candy for performance was and still is A-OK with me). The Aero design language was still killer even with the bells and whistles turned off.

    The main reason to jump from XP (or 98) was the 64 bit jump and breaking the 4gh ram limit. XP x64 was kinda hot garbage, also due to driver issues if I recall correctly.



  • Vista honestly wasn’t as bad as we all said/remember, but it was the start of Windows optimization downturn. It worked great on top of the line systems with tons of power, and was the best looking Windows Microslop ever developed.

    It just happened to also coincide with the start of netbooks and low power computers going mainstream, and marketing thought that the F1 requiring OS should also be sold on a 3 door hatchback with 60 horsepower.


  • It’s a scientific fact that legs cannot be or get cold. Much like birds, the legs of Midwesterners, Rock Mountain statesers, and Canadians evolved separated blood supplies in their legs that just exchange oxygen within the thighs to preserve core temperatures.

    P.S. the best time to go to the beach in California is over Christmas, because you have the whole place to yourself and can laugh at everyone wearing coats in 60° sunny weather. Come on in, the water’s great!
