We had a project that was actually named FOOBAR. Until we had to take it to the mission office, and then it got an official scrubbed name. Kept the BAR part.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

FUBAR goes back to WWII, I believe, and it's F&%ked Up Beyond All Recognition. Related to SNAFU, which is Situation Normal, All F&%ked Up. Gotta love the military. they love their acronymns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is anyone here familiar with Google webmaster tools? It keeps sending me an email telling me that [link] is inaccessible, which it should be, because it's a malformed URL. But I can't work out where I need to go to delete that annoying (and initially hard to detect) colon.

Hey y'all. Just tried to update my iphone 4 to ios6 via iTunes - I figured it had been long enough that bugs should have been resolved. Well, it's bricked my phone. Tried a hard reboot, tried to restore on my computer and on D's, and it won't restore. Anything else I should try before visiting the Apple store?

Our wings are not tired

ita, to answer your problem from earlier, yes I had the same problem with large numbers of files in a commond directory on that NAS. It is appentaly a know flaw with them. I use it as a scratch drive when I'm handbraking things before I move them to my actual library volume. When I had everything in one common directory it could take minutes for directories to popluate. When I broke things down by season and movie, then the speed picked right up.

le n, none of that looks helpful. My phone is on and in recovery mode; I can start the recovery process but it won't complete. I'd like to dl a fresh version of ios6 and try again since my internet has been a bit wonky but I can't figure out how to do that.

Here are links for all the iOS. [link] You may have to google to find out which one you need. I can help you later if you can't find it.

Thanks, le n. I'm going to download a fresh copy and try one more time, and then head to the Apple store if that doesn't work. I can't be without a phone.
