I've had the opportunity to review several poor Service Level Agreement (SLA) contracts, which include clauses shielding the provider as if they are an endangered species.

When Microsoft announced that it would ship Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 in August, the IE team also reminded web developers to ensure their stuff works by then, and supplied a couple of quick-fixes that can be used to tell IE8 to render a page in IE7 mode, which can be specified per-page, or even server-wide. This was done so that web developers could maintain their normal development cycle, so th

Podcast: Hyper Nonsense Date: April 4, 2008 Title: Hot bitches, fabulously fierce guys Download the show: HN 110 Normally, I avoid commenting on other people's blogs, because posting messages consumes scarce brain power, and for that matter, dilutes the value of the Turetzky Syndrome brand. I will make exception to comment anonymously in certain situations. For instance, if I visit a familiar left-wing political blog, expecting moral support, and instead find gratuitous pictures of the proprietor's cat, I might write, "Thanks so much for the cute photos of Fluffy curled up in your baby's diaper. Now I'll know which cat to run over with my car." And then I'll sign my name: "Dick Cheney." Now, in the rarest of circumstances, as with Hyper Nonsense, I'll contribute to blog discussions,

Hendry, 39, said it was "the craziest thing" he had done and "totally out of character". Hendry, seven times wo

Pontiac V10 for Spanish GTA – That’s Nonsense!Have you heard that the Formula 3 racing team GTA is developing the supercar?According to the initial information the car had to be equipped with a mid-mounted 700hp V10. Currently, however, it is said that the ten-cylinder powerplant of this vaporware supercar will produce approximately 800 hp. Furthermore it will be sourced from – can you imagine? – Pontiac.The idea that the General can produce a bespoke engine for the car that even does not exist is ridiculous itself. Add to this nonsense that the mythical powerplant would bear the arrowhead logo of Pontiac - that’s absolutely mad stuff!

One of the most important things to a photographer when using a D-SLR is having the ability to take full control of the camera at any situation. This becomes very essential when a photographer has to capture that perfect moment – the photographer cannot simply afford to miss a shot because he was caught unaware as he was fiddling with his camera controls, or if he simply runs out of battery power. This is where the Canon BG-E2N Battery grip comes in giving the Canon EOS 20D, 30D and 40D D-SLRs added controllability and a boost in performance. More »

Since beginning my third trimester, I've been trying to prepare more and more for the baby. Having a written birth plan upon arrival at the hospital seems to be all the rage these days, but it just doesn't seem realistic to me...Here's my birth plan so far:Soothing music - check. Baby out within five minutes of first contraction - check. Nothing rips or tears - checkNo odd or embarrassing bodily fluids leave my body - check.Deep down, I just don't believe labor is an experience one can really plan out. Type A mothers-to-be must have invented the "necessity" of a birth plan (not that I haven't be labeled type A, but I have parameters). It seems to be out of my hands how this miraculous process will flow, and I'd hate to set myself up for failure or disappointment.Where does one even begin a

God knows I've lost control of the thing. It's almost as if the Podcast Roundup has become a force unto itself; a golem that subsists on references to my music, my blog, my dissipated personality. Hyper Nonsense co-host Shawno exhaled meaningfully before he spoke, aware that he would only be feeding the monster.

I talk to photographers all the time, at seminars, conventions and in forums, about the amount of time they spend working on their images in Photoshop and trying to find ways to speed their workflow.

‘No Nonsense Internet Tips’ is a great blog about making money online, but it doesn’t stop there. The blog owner, Bruce Hopkins, goes into so much depth it almost draws people to continue to come back or subscribe to his RSS feeds. If you have been to money making blogs (which I’m sure you have), you seen tons of people write about the “how to’s”, but Bruce takes it to another level. He writes post series. Yes, “post series.” We have all seen television series, of course, once you watch the first one, you get hooked. At that point, you almost always have to watch the second, third and fourth till you see the ending. Well, Bruce’s “post series” is exactly like that. You definitely want to stick around! Bruce has not only been a great blogger, but he’s a pretty good guy overall. He’s just as busy as the next person but he takes his time to reply back to any inquiries.

Buddha said: "I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot.I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons.". text credit via dis and pandemonium blog. photo credit: MysticLens

Opponents of evolution want to make a place for creationism by tearing down real science, but their arguments don't hold up. Rather than re-hash all the arguments the Creationist keep bringing up here is an objective view of the whole thing by Scientific American magazine. After all, if you can't trust them, who can you trust?Guest post By John Rennie. When Charles Darwin introduced the theory of evolution through natural selection 143 years ago, the scientists of the day argued over it fiercely, but the massing evidence from paleontology, genetics, zoology, molecular biology and other fields gradually established evolution's truth beyond reasonable doubt. Today that battle has been won everywhere--except in the public imagination. (And U.S. public opinion - ED.) Embarrassingly, in the 21st century, in the most scientifically advanced nation the world has ever known, creationists can still persuade politicians, judges and ordinary citizens that evolution is a flawed, poorly supporte

We have listed a few do-it- yourself tips to get you started. Ø Pay more than the required minimum: It is important that you get over the habit of paying only the required minimum every month. The fact is that the more time you take to pay the outstanding amount, the higher the interest you will be charged. This leads to more agony as you will have less cash at the end of it all. (more…)

Jesus is coming back soon!!!”– of No Religion, Just Jesus published a couple of pieces that caught my eye. First, the light fair. The Lord of the Rings star, Ian McKellen, has admitted to removing the pages of the Bible that speak against homosexuality. He has admitted publicly to doing this since 2004. The verse that he says he does not like is Leviticus 18:22, “‘You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.” He says that he does not like the verse or the fact that the punishment for it was death. He says, “I think it’s rather obscene and pornographic, and shouldn’t be there, so I remove it.” Lord of the Rings Film Star Rips Out Bible Pages That Speak Against Homosexuality What amazes me is that McKellen takes the Bible seriously enough to bother dismantling it

Your monthly sales are up. The demand of is growing, so you produce more. You’re on top of the world. What’s next? A high volume merchant account. If your business has monthly volumes costs more than $10,000, then your business is considered as high volume. Normal dealings Since you have a business that accepts credit card payments, standard procedure tells you to open up a merchant account. When you have a merchant account, you throw in a couple of cents per transaction that comes in. So the charge in the transaction fees section of your monthly statement depends on how many transactions come in. let’s look at the pros and cons, on one side, it feels good to see that you have a high amount of transactions, which means business is doing great. But you will also pay a lot for the merchant account statement bill because of the per transaction fee charge. Balancing act Opening up a high volume merchant account can balance the situation. Through this kind of type of merch

I recently (a-rhetorically) authored an article wondering if merely writing about certified cyber heavyweight phenomenon Ron Paul would bring web traffic to my theretofore untrafficked website (this one). Well, it didn’t take long for the Paulites to descend upon me and remove any doubt that it in fact it would. So does this mean that catsandbeer is a rebrand away from becoming the web’s #1 source for tracking Paul’s all-but-assured rocket ascent up to the low-mid single digits in the polls? No way. Why not? Because here’s the way you get REAL traffic on the Internet: Adorable nonsense and pro athlete puerility kick the absolute shit out of Ron Paul. But before we bid adieu to Paul once and for all, let’s give the man his due. The Ron Paul Effect Writing about Ron Paul WILL increase your web traffic … provided you have no web traffic at all to begin with. Take a look at this chart: Whoa, doctor!

I read BNT’s recent post The Hardest Part Of A Journey Is Coming Home by Brendan Moran and found myself quietly, emphatically nodding along. Especially to bits like this: Maybe I’m naive, but I was hoping for a “eureka!” moment on the trip where all of the sudden my life would make sense. I would find my calling and hopefully some peace. Maybe I’d be on a boat somewhere watching the sunrise, or laying in a hut listening to frogs chirp outside: something cinematic. While nothing quite like that ever happened, after a year away, I think I’ve become a different person. I’m more sure of what I want and less angry. I take better care of myself and I feel more in control. … and this: While we were gone I tried to stay unplugged and happily ignorant about pop culture and other non-weighty matters, and now that I’m back, I realize I should have done that a long time ago. My interest level for “shallow things that do not matter” remains below zero. Then, righ

Mrs. Bill Clinton continues to rant and rave about those evil CEO’s and how much they get paid. Her comments, however, are completely devoid of any criticism of how she plans to level the playing field with respect to Entertainers. They can keep their money in "Hillary World," but those who actually create organizational productivity and value cannot.But, I digress. Mrs. Bill Clinton’s statements are unfounded and include no insight into her husband’s own administration and the ramifications it had on executive compensation. The 1993 Clinton tax hikes lowered the amount that corporations could deduct from their executive’s salaries to 1 million dollars. While team Clinton didn’t do their homework, markets certainly did as they adjusted. The Clinton tax code allowed for even greater tax deductions when corporations paid out compensation on bonuses and stock options. The result: exploding executive compensation. Let’s be clear, this explosion was a direct result of actions ta

This is an article from the July 2002 issue of Scientific American and still remains in my mind one of the best summaries of the issues to date. Anyone interested in the debate between Evolution and Intelligent Design would do well to read this. To help with answering them, the following list rebuts some of the most common "scientific" arguments raised against evolution. It also directs readers to further sources for information and explains why creation science has no place in the classroom. Evolution is only a theory. It is not a fact or a scientific law Natural selection is based on circular reasoning: the fittest are those who survive, and those who survive are deemed fittest Evolution is unscientific, because it is not testable or falsifiable. It makes claims about events that were not observed and can never be re-created Increasingly, scientists doubt the truth of evolution The disagreements among even evolutionary biologists show how little solid science supports evolution

If Stevie Wonder was ever convicted of a crime, I’d want the judge to tell him that it’s time to face the music. Do fortune tellers always play their cards right? I quit my job at the zoo, because my mother told me not to be involved in any monkey business. Isn’t it bad luck to name your restaurant “A flash in the pan?” Doing the 6 AM news has to be one of the worst jobs, because who wants to get up at 4 AM just to report to the world that Al Sharpton just got highlights in his hair? Use a gun… killing two birds with one bullet - now that’s a trick. Only Palestinians try to kill two birds with one stone. Someone told a girl that my friend, Seth, has a great sense of humor. So she came into the room and said, “Seth, I hear you spit gold.” “Only when he’s dating a blond,” I replied. A spitting image As a side note, this is what happens when people repeat something they heard from someone else, without thinking: A

My friend is confused about the difference between an allusion and a reference. But it’s simple. An allusion is what your boss performs to make you disappear, when he finds out your references were forged.

... we now return you to the previously scheduled program...The Amalgamation of Soundz are yet another one of those producing teams that are just a couple of faceless, yet most assuredly dorky, dudes who for some reason cannot miss when they put out a tune or remix... and they've put out plenty, on a number of different labels. This here track is the first one on their second full length album (creatively titled Part 2 - I guess they used it all up on the music), and what a starter it is... super smooth, atmospheric breaks... The Amalgamation of Soundz - For Real Ya know, it's hard to come up with a funny, relevant anecdote for such relatively anonymous artists... so here, for your comedic portion of the blog today, is a guy ghostriding his whip into a telephone pole...That's gonna leave a mark! Boing!

[…]Read Part 1 If the technicians were already confused by the VORTEX cannon technology. The Newly Promoted Captain started changing the external alloy of the ship with a metal ore he called the QuartzTinium ( Quartz because of the look of the metal and Tinium because of the property from Titanium allowing it to crash and take back is original form ) at first the man wanted to call it Gundaminium but then he said « If i was back in 2000 someone would sue me for copying an old serie IDEA! » This new alloy allowed a complete radar cloaking and visual cloaking and also offered a stronger resistance than the shield themself. After the Technicians that were onboard started discussing about this to the other ship’s crew eventually the whole army wanted those upgrade without the higher ups knowing of this change. In a few weeks he earned the trust of all the captains and they all rallied under is leadership. At that moment he became the Emperor of the supreme commander’s

«People don’t deserve my trust nor my hate… they simply deserve “the nothingness”. As a bright soul i shall shine throught those “liars” and bestow my own judgement upon they poor soul. They deserve no pity nor charity… Death to them would be a gift… Hell’s fire don’t want weak souls such as them… Paradise don’t see them worthy… But whatever they say, Hell’s isn’t beneath earth… it is earth itself. Humanity is a living Hell… » Those were the quote of the man codenamed God Of the Realm. As i grow older… i wish to let my human side take Over. A mutant who hide himself under human laws, who disguise himself as an average human. Then a day… humans learn of is existence… at first they try to control him… then seen they cannot make him obediant like a pet… they try to kill him. For a long time they will fear him but then rely on him and finally acc

I’ve written before that I believe the blogger’s code of conduct is a commendable but ultimately unimplementable idea because the trolls simply don’t care. However, now Tim O’Reilly and and the rest of his posse, who can’t see beyond their ostentatious intentions, have drafted a code of conduct, complete with badges that you can stick on your blog if you follow the code. I will not put one of those badges on my blog! First off, I couldn’t comply with the code if I wanted. Rule number 3 just screams “wrong” to me: 3. We connect privately before we respond publicly. When we encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in the blogosphere, we make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved–or find an intermediary who can do so–before we publish any posts or comments about the issue.  Much like Scoble, I won’t solve issues behind closed doors when they’ve occurred in public. Third

It’s Easter Sunday, Resurrection Sunday, a holy day to many, a day for chocolate and presents for many more. I’ve been thinking for a while about what I wanted to say about today. I’m well aware that not everyone who comes across my writings here believes in God, nor do many believe in the Bible or Jesus Christ in any way as authorities. I’ve appreciated those who have stuck around and interacted with me despite my off-the-wall radicalism and extremism at times, and have taught me many things I would not have been able to see myself. I’ve been trying to think of what brilliant thing I could say to allow me to acknowledge my belief in the resurrection without being written off as a complete fool and a loony. Whether you or I believe in the Easter Bunny or not, in no way affects whether an Easter bunny really exists. Someone said they found Jesus’ bones a few months ago, but whether you or I believe it has no effect whatsoever on whether they really a

What is rubber-stamp testing? Do we actually need any software to do rubber-stamp testing? Can I raise 100 defects concurrently in Loadrunner? If I’m using a rich AJAX application do I still have to hit F5 to update the page? If I record a podcast is it mandatory that the sound levels of the two presenters have to be totally different? To do a podcast do I need to get the worst microphone available? How do I use classes in Cobol? Can I do unit testing with Loadrunner? Do EDS systems ever work, or are they just hopeless at IT? Does Accenture provide value for money? Are IT agents really Human Resources in disguise? What’s next due in a bloatware version?

So I thought, while I was eating my extremely delicious big hamburger, about the absolute girly stupidity of my SEOCONTEST for girls post. I won't remove it because I should have to suffer the shame, but I want to. I want to hide it like I do with pictures that make me look fat.So let me tell you about this burger: It was a bacon cheeseburger with mozarella cheese on a ciabatta bun. And I also had french fries with gravy on the side and the french fries were the kind that are really wide and flat... I think they are called beefsteak or something like that (but beefsteak is a funny name for french fries because it makes reference to beef twice but says nothing about the potatoes, I would call them steakpotatoes). Yum. I wish I had another now. Or a soft taco supreme perhaps.Can I find nothing else to comment on than food anyways? Probably not. Maybe I should mention my shopautodotca seocontest blog? Naw.So Easter is coming up next week, for those who celebrate it. I am not a religious

The last two days hits have been really healthy. Loads of people seemed to appreciate the social services cartoon, and the two fuel contamination cartoons. This one has been floating around my sketch book for some time. Not topical (unless someone called Dave starts a swimming school), but hopefully amusing.
