Not really admin-related, but I stumbled across an amusing law this morning while reviewing part of the Oregon Revised Statutes: MISCELLANEOUS 166.645 Hunting in cemeteries prohibited. (1) Hunting in cemeteries is prohibited. (2) As used in subsection (1) of this section “hunting” has the meaning for that term provided in ORS 496.004. (3) Violation of subsection (1) of this section is a misdemeanor. [1973 c.468 §2; 1987 c.158 §30] Only in Oregon would we need a law banning this… Also, sorry to any Ghostbusters in the state, but you’re going to have to find a new career.

Random IRC quote:
<WingLover> Argh! Why does a video capture device for a computer *have* to be called a webcam even though it won’t be used to send pictures over the Internet?
<dagbrown> Because 99.975% of them are used to send pictures of half-dressed 15-year-old girls over the net.

Who in the hell puts a “Windows XP Compatible” sticker on a digital camera box, then:
- Includes a Windows 98/Me driver on CD in the box
- Has an instruction manual addendum offering an “XP driver download” online with a URL to visit
- Only offers the online driver download for purchase, not for free for a brand new product
HP, that’s who.
XP compatible, but you have to pay an extra $30 for the privilege. Fuck that. Took it back to the store and bought a Sony instead.

“So, what do you do for a living?”
“Oh, I’m a UNIX systems administrator and network administrator. I manage email and website hosting servers as well as internet connectivity for a wholesale ISP operation.”
“What does that mean?”
“I maintain our network and servers and fix them if they break.”
“Oh, good! Can you look at my computer, it runs Windows Me and has been acting weird lately…”
*ack*
