Disk (well, array, but anyway) crash. Data lost and has to be regenerated, not restored (it's a temp work area.)

I'm training on some stuff and it looks like something went wrong last I did it. And I'm sure I did it and the folder was modified at that time and...

SCOTUS upholds partial birth abortion ban, 5-4

Fuck. The thing that's so terrifying to me about this is that it's basically based on the procedure sounding yucky. Well, the other procedure available sounds at least as yucky, if you describe it in anti-abortion terms. This is a very slippery slope.

Oops, are my politics showing?

Ugh. I'm sure the decision will make for some hair-pulling interesting reading.

Not work - my sister's b-day. But I'm totally brain-dead today for some reason so I'm drawing a complete blank. She's going as Buffy.

Joan Jett?

ITA. Terrifying is exactly the right word.

Grump. I have to come up with a costume for this weekend - you're supposed to come as your favorite bad ass. Suggestions? (That I have a hope in hell of pulling off?)

Completely random question: Who here has the powers of 2 memorized? How high do you have them memorized?

The highest I do is 2^13 = 8192.

Key powers of 2 to know are 2^8 = 256 (because a byte has 8 bits, for a total of 256 possible numbers) and 2^10 = 1024, as a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, etc. (unless we're talking about marketing and HD size).

Oh, tommy. We are so, so different.
