I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Somewhat relatedly:

And somewhat relatedly to that, did I ever tell y'all about my exboyfriend who was obsessed with Bill Moyers? Boy would have set up a Chuck Norris Facts-like website for him had such a thing existed back then.

Anyway, one day, mom and I are in an argument while he sits on the couch uncomfortably. I'm sure I probably screamed something like, "YOU'RE NEVER HERE! WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO YOU!" and she yells back, "WHO DO YOU THINK FEEDS YOU? WHO DO YOU THINK PUTS A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK!?!"

At which point J.C. enthusiasticly pipes up, "BILL MOYERS!"

It still amuses me.

Hivemind simple question -- I've forgotten how to do screen print. I know that you have to press some key(s) with the screen print button, but can't for the life of me remember.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Alt + PrtScn will print just the current application. PrtScn by itself gets you get the whole screen.

Either way, the result ends up in the clipboard, so you gotta paste it somewhere.

edit for more info....

edit some more to fix bad info....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Anyone around who can look at my resume? It's basically the same as it was a year ago (and I was quite confident about it then), but I feel the need to have other eyes look at it.

Ok, off to start on the cover letter.

I almost understand the rationale that if specific goals are mapped out under which we will leave, that forces might ensure those goals are met so that we leave and then they take action again. Almost. But what's the alternative, aside from "we have always been at war with Iraqistahn"?

The problem is that their rationale fails given the premise that the surge is there to provide enough security for the political process to work. If the violence abates because we have announced a goal (this makes the assumption that the majority of the violence is the result of a coordinated effort) then the political process still gets enough security for the political process to work.

In the olden days of DOS, PrtScn did send the results straight to the printer.

Ctl + PrtScn

I thought that was Alt + PrtScn.

Ack! You're right. And I just tested to be sure before I posted. Apparently the Ctl-V I used to paste got stuck in my brain.
