A teacher was doing a study testing the taste senses of first graders,
using a bowl of Lifesavers.
The children began the study and as they received a Lifesaver candy
responded;

“Red………….cherry,”

“Yellow………lemon,”

“Green……….lime,”

” Orange ……orange,”

Then the teacher gave each of them a honey Lifesavers. After eating
the candy, it was obvious most of the kids were not familiar with
honey and none of the children could identify the taste.

“Well,” she said; “I’ll give you all a clue; it’s what your mother may
sometimes call your father.”

One little girl looked up in horror, spit out the remains of her
Lifesaver and screeched; “Oh My God!!!! They’re assholes!”

This is a fantastic website about physics, our reality, and many other things.   Click here to go to the site.

An excerpt from the site:

This website is about truth and reality – about how you and everything around you exist in space. We have an extensive collection of pages on many of the greatest minds from history, with thousands of brilliant quotes that are both inspiring and profoundly important. More than this though, we provide a simple solution to many of the problems of knowledge that have caused humanity so much conflict and confusion.

And yes, we do realise that people are skeptical of websites on truth and reality. But the solution is obvious once known – it just takes our minds a while to adjust to new ways of thinking.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Grandmothers and Grandfathers?

 Well, here it is:

    There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son’s family on weekends. Every Saturday morning he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time — just him and his granddaughter.
    One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn’t feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed.  Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive.
    When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed.
“Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?” he asked.
“Oh, yes, PapPap,  it was really wonderful.  We didn’t see a single asshole, blind bastard, dipshit or son of a bitch anywhere we went!”

Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

With the new iPhone version 4.2 Apple has made the Find My Phone feature of MobilMe free. If you have the old ID style login and not an email address you will have trouble logging in. The fix below worked for me. I found it here on the Apple forums.

Easy Fix that worked for me that you can try:

Follow these steps:

1. Visit http://store.apple.com/us. Login using your normal iTunes login
3. Click on the “Account” link next to the shopping cart basket
4. Now Click Account information
5. Next view Apple ID field and complete it with your normal iTunes Apple ID email that you always use example joesmith@yahoo.com
6. Check that all info and password fields are completed and click continue.

Apple will now verify your account. You can now go back to your phone settings menu and follow the steps here http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/
Again, I hope this helps a lot of folks and it amazes me still how there is no official response regarding this setup issue although they left a small unclear hint on that setup page…

If you have an iTunes Store account or have ordered from the Apple Online Store, you already have an Apple ID.

So, you don’t need to create new accounts, you just need to edit your existing one through the Apple online store to reflect your full email address.

Also you will need to update your App Store login to match your updated settings or else you will get a wrong password message.

1. Goto Settings and chose “Store” from the menu
2. Sign Out of Store
3. Now log back in using the full email instead of just user id

This is the coolest device yet from Apple. OMG I must have it. lol

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel ,
“Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you
to the Promised Land.”

Nearly 75 years ago (when Welfare was introduced), Roosevelt said, “Lay
down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the
Promised Land.”

Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price
of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about healthcare plans, the
economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement
funds, etc. I called a Suicide Hotline. 
I had to press 1 for English. I was connected to a call center in
Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal.

They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck……

When I first migrated to Windows 7 I noticed that I could not get the Microsoft Exchange tools and tabs to show up in Active Directory Users and Computers. I finally found this walkhrough on the site linked below and low and behold I can now manage it from my Windows 7 desktop. A beautiful thing.

When you buy a new PC, laptop or server and install a Linux you want to know what hardware is actually in the Linux box and more importantly which piece of hardware is supported by the kernel out of the box and which needs special tweaking with modules to get it work. Here is a list of commands which should help you to troubleshoot your hardware and find some information about it.

Please Note: some commands may not be available for your platform after default installation as well as some commands may be distribution specific only.

Ok so I have had a few times now when nobody remembers what the VPN passwords are as we just exchange profile files. If you want to go back and look them up you can’t as they are hidden both on the client and on the firewall ends. This cool little page will allow you to take the encrypted string from the .pcf file and decrypt it back to the original password. Very slick.
