Find a Computer Job in the United Kingdom

London is the only one with lots of listings.

Most of those cities have only one listing: Oracle.

I find that deeply disturbing. I'll go hide from Larry Ellison now.

Look up aphasia in Wikipedia

I'll let you know what the doc says

Second because I had a brain fart when I built then didn't test GM Candidate 1:

The Mac OS X Installer said "Mike had a brain fart when he built me" right at the end of installation.

After burning some sage, praying to the voices that speak to me in times of trouble then meditating for a solid hour while quietly chanting "Nam Yo Ho Rengye Kyo" I added a chown and a chmod to the script that executes pkgbuild.

Extra Credit: QA is getting Build 4 because in Build 3 that chown and chmod set the perms and owns of the wrong file.

This is the kind of thing that happens when one has organic brain damage. Perhaps I've been in a vehicle collision recently. I wouldn't rule such a collision out but don't really know because I have no memory of any recent injuries.

Did I ever tell you about the time I almost melted a Firewire Link-Layer chip because I set a CSR bit incorrectly in my driver?

Bill Cosby Found Guilty of Sexual Assault in Retrial

Bill Cosby Was Found Guilty on 3 Counts of Indecent Assault. Here's How Much Time He Could Serve

Cosby, who is 80, faces a maximum of 30 years in state prison.

The verdict prompted an outburst from Cosby in the Montgomery County, Pa., court house on Thursday, as he called District Attorney Kevin Steele an “a—hole.”

The three counts each carry a sentence of up to 10 years in state prison, but it remains to be seen how much time Cosby, will actually be sentenced to serve, and whether he could serve those sentences at the same time.

Methaqualone (Redirected from Quaaludes)

I like to break up my morning commute by hanging out at a Starbucks on Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square. At one time I would have asked the Barista for a Grande Pike's Place Roast but 9 days ago I decided to avoid coffee for a little while because my very first cup in the morning made my stomach queasy.

The resulting withdrawal symptoms convinced me to swear off coffee for good. If a substance would have such a profound affect on my mind and body I don't want to consume it anymore

So now I have a cup of ice water and something to eat, usually an egg, sausage and cheddar English muffin sandwich. But concern for my health led me to try their very small, expensive bowl of oatmeal with fruit, nuts and agave nectar.

After I flunked a Hematocrit test agent I went to give blood they advised me to consume more iron in my diet.

Grains, meat and eggs all have lots of iron but the form that is in meat and eggs is more bioavailable than the form in plants.

So which wil it be?

- The overpriced oatmeal

Or:

- The cholesterol sandwich

Only time will tell

Toronto van attack: Calm actions of police stun US

The calm actions of a police officer who arrested the Toronto van suspect without firing a shot have prompted praise and, in some quarters, astonishment.

Video from the scene shows suspect Alek Minassian pointing an object at the officer and shouting: "Kill me!" The officer tells the man to "get down" and when the suspect says he has a gun, the officer repeats: "I don't care. Get down." Videos on social media show Mr Minassian lying down as the officer arrests him.

Many in North America are asking how the suspect did not end up dead in a hail of police gunfire. It contrasts with incidents in the US where police have shot and killed unarmed people.

"Research has shown that Canadian police are reluctant users of deadly force," says Rick Parent, a criminologist at Simon Fraser University in Canada's British Columbia. "An analysis of police shooting data over many years revealed, that in comparison to their American counterparts, Canadian police officers discharge their firearms far less, per capita than US police. However, like American police officers they take many risks in protecting the public."

One US-based academic told the BBC that the officer would have had a "duty" to kill the suspect, if the object he was pointing was a gun.

I just registered the most amazing dot-com.

I can't tell you what it is yet because I do not yet have the samoleons to register the dot-org, the dot-net, the dot-io or the dot-co. But I will when I get my next paycheck which I will devote primarily to Hookers And Blow but there's a lot of room in my budget for a few dozen small expenditures.

(soggy.jobs sets me back $159 per year. I expect that's because in my studies of Google Trends as best as I am able to determine "jobs" is the single most searched for word there is.)

That's really sad.

I've been contemplating a certain product for several years. My older and vastly wiser friend Stefan Youngs feels that it wouldn't be a commercial success but I have always disagreed.

But what to call my proposed product? The best of all possible domains is already in use by a tangentially similar product.

I've been puzzling over my product's name for quite a long time, more seriously just in the last month or so.

That tangentially similar product's name really would have been better but my new dot-com is plenty copacetic.

I have learned the hard way - numerous times - that it's a bad idea to preannounce a new product. I will tell you what I'm doing when I release the public beta.

I'm not going to sell the product; it will have either the GPL or the MIT license.

As someone suggested for another product - which is complete enough for my own personal use but not yet for widespread public use - I'll create a bounty campaign in IndieGoGo.

I will tell you that it requires the use of an Internet server. I'm going to operate one that uses the product to provide a free public service to the community.

I'll post a radar link as well as an Open Radar link after I get some ZZZs.

Summary:

I clicked a link to a website of ill repute. I have visited that URL before with no problems, but this time the page caused Safari to open a vast quantity of Untitled, blank tabs with blinding speed.

I shot a couple videos with my iPhone that I will attach tomorrow (it's late). Safari had slowed down quite a lot by the time I was able to start shooting.

I will also attach a sysdiagnose report.

Steps to Reproduce:

I will have to post the steps in a reply tomorrow. I'm just going to let Safari keep doing this until it either stops, it crashes, or it panics my Mac.

Expected Results:

Clicking that link should have taken me a file sharing site where I could download a video.

Actual Results:

Thousands of Untitled tabs opened.

      $ ls -s /var/vm
      total 6291456
      4194304 sleepimage 1048576 swapfile0 1048576 swapfile1

I'm puzzled that there are only two swapfiles after all this.

Version/Build:

I'll post the Safari version in a reply tomorrow. I'm going to leave Safari running all night to see what eventually happens.
