So, in response to IBM’s request for the source code that it is supposedly infringing upon (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can browse the Google news for it), SCO provided IBM with a PRINTOUT OF THE CODE totaling a million sheets of paper. A million. sheets. of. paper. What a great lawyer tactic! (from boingboing)

To put this in some context, a million sheets of paper is:

Over 4000 inches tall
Over 333 feet (twice the height of the Statue of Liberty) if stacked
Just a bit over 6 tons
374000 cubic inches
216.4 cubic feet

I feel sorry for all of you still stuck in the throws of finals….ah, who am I kidding? No I don’t…I’m too happy BEING DONE!

WOOOO-HOOOOOOO!

…welcome our new library robot overlords.

A Japanese team of researchers has developed a robot that could help browse for books in a library by receiving instructions via the Internet…Using a laser to navigate between shelves and other barriers, it can select a book, open it and flip through pages with its own hand, while taking and sending pictures of contents.

A short list of search queries that led to my blog, from my referral logs:

“burninating”
“i am completely fucked up”
“tea hand picked by monkeys”

and of course, the very best (someone out there did this on purpose, you funny people, you…)

At least about librarians…from this month’s American Libraries:

“Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books. That’s rubbish, of course, but it does wonders for the image of librarians.” – Guy Browning, The Guardian, Oct. 18
