(e:tinypliny) the thing about multiple stuffed animals has nothing to do with being stoned. Have you ever seen a Person who has only one stuffed animal. In my case it started out with these free Bears I think from Fuji film and now Wrestlers and well a couple of them where Work Give aways. I have some wrestler ones. I don't play with them they just sit there, oh yeah one of them is a green monkey from wick'd. I think I know what my next photo project might be Ha.

(e:terry) is mean, i would buy it for you. next time i see you we can go to the store and you can pick out a tiger, and for (e:terry); nothing!!!!
tinypliny - 11/20/09 23:29
You get one, you get more - yeah, if you are stoned definitely hahaha
metalpeter - 11/20/09 19:50
Walgreens has this huge tiger that I want that looks like that but is white but I have no place for it. I get that it takes up a lot of space and it doesn't fit the house, and that there aren't any other stuffed animals, and once you get one you get more and that is so not the style of your house. However there is one place it and the white one would go perfectly that fixes all those problems "The Cage", Well unless some has sex in it, if someone has set with a stuffed animal is it still beastitality or does it have to be real? HA

Boring life
Category: body
All I do is program, work on the house and work out. The programs are
awesome and plentiful, the house looks awesome minus fuscia and I am buffer than ever but I am bored to death. I think it is reflected in
the fact that I have nothing to write about.

The dorm windows and detail
Category: linwood
The dorm windows are back in after a month long of repair. Somehow
three panes are already cracked again. I guess it is their happy
state and they securely in place.

Next spring we are going to rent a cherry picker to fix and finish the
tops of the dormers.

microsoft patenting sudo?
Category: computers
I seriously can't believe that microsoft got a patent for running commands as an administrator. Are the judges in these matters at all knowledgeable of the subject matter? The best part of the article was learning that sudo was developed at Suny Buffalo. I wonder how that factoid escaped me for so long.

Microsoft patents sudo system used in Mac OS X, Linux?

The USPTO recently granted Microsoft a patent, No. 7,617,530, which describes a method for running a command as an administrator. The filing has sparked outrage by many, including Groklaw blogger Pamela Jones, who believe the company has simply rebranded the sudo Unix command developed in the 1980s by members of the Computer Science department at SUNY/Buffalo.

The "rights elevator" patent covers "systems and/or methods... that enable a user to elevate his or her rights." Microsoft focuses on an embodiment utilizing a graphic user interface presented when the current account lacks the proper privileges for an operation. The interface then identifies accounts that have administrative privileges required for certain tasks.

The patent terms have lead to speculation that Microsoft may be attempting to receive licensing revenue from companies utilizing forms of sudo in their operating systems. The technology is currently integrated into GNU/Linux systems and Mac OS X.

Others argue that, while the patent includes sudo references, it is actually based on the graphic interface which only pops up after the user attempts to perform a task outside of their account's rights. Similar systems, however, are common to most operating systems.
