Pre-coffee amusement

Well, concurrent coffee amusement at any rate.

From comments on the (old) Good vs Evil post on The BileBlog, with a bit of trimming and formatting of the attribution lines to make the separation between comments clearer. (They're picking, by the way, on JSF - JavaServer Faces. Among many, many other things.)

Why are you guys picking on the Joint Strike Fighter? Its an amazing machine!

Also, what does any of this have to do with car struts, your boss Jay, the Apache indians, solar eclipses, ideas, ants, tom-cats or coffee?!?

Or am I way off base?

Ohhhh I get it now!!

I had no idea it mattered which way my Java Server Faces!!

South would be down, the devil is said to be down below, so south sounds bad to me. The devil is evil, right? West and East both face the sun at some point and I wouldn't want my Java Servers Face in the sun.

I guess that only leaves North or perhaps standing on end facing up??

What do you guys recommend? I am very concerned.

I find that if you put the server upside down, it runs better, because all the electricity runs to the CPU.

BileBlog also has the "ultimate summary" of every discussion thread ever at TheServerSide. A bit rude, but funny. (That pretty much sums up BileBlog most of the time, I think.)

From my inbox, because I thought some of y'all might like to know:

Introducing Saucy, Bookslut's First Sister Site
http://www.saucymag.com

From the Letter from the Editor at Saucy, which debuts today:

This is not a website for picky eaters. If you’re cutting carbs, eating at McDonald’s, or buying margarine, this may not be the site for you. But if you love all kinds of food like we do, Saucy is here to entertain and enlighten.
[...]
I want Saucy to encompass many issues – from the political to the technical – and still remain a celebration of food. In the coming weeks you’ll find articles on why buying locally grown produce matters, or how a co-op grocery is built from the ground up. We won’t tell you why French food will or will not make you fat, but we will tell you which French cookbooks are essential to every collection and which will leave you sobbing in frustration on your kitchen floor. Saucy has assembled some great, original voices, and their columns will entertain you with tales of food gone both good and bad.

Saucy will be updated daily, Monday through Thursday. Let us know what you think.
