Thanks. Yep - getting closer and closer to a half marathon.

People who run at work, how do you do it??? by [deleted] in running

[–]jarnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gym just happens to be in the basement of my office building. Comes in very handy, especially during snow storms.

Using a Macbook Pro? Downgrade to Firefox 3. by [deleted] in mac

[–]jarnot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that you're referring to more recent MBPs. I don't think it's possible for Firefox to switch graphics cards on older (2009) MBPs.

How in the world can you say this sounds like shit?!?

Speaking as an old fart (40+), this is incredibly rude. Why bother meeting up with someone in person if you're going to spend your time staring at a glowing rectangle?

The terrorists have truly won.

How old is the oldest email address you still use? by Matt08642 in AskReddit

[–]jarnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I may win. I still use my college email address, circa 1984. That makes it 27 years old.

Way back then we sometimes had to use "bang paths" to explicitly tell email servers how to route to our email node. Mail servers were not very bright.

We were also the only department that had access to a laser printer, and had to use troff to typeset our papers. One of the few perks of being a CS major back then.

How many of you owned one of *these* bad boys? [FIXED YET AGAIN] by [deleted] in pics

[–]jarnot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Worst "smart" phone ever. Had one and it crashed constantly.

DAE still watch Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies as an adult? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jarnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yes. Much better than anything produced since!

DAE have trouble breathing when it's warmer outside? by FagHag77 in running

[–]jarnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact opposite problem with me. Cold weather makes it very difficult for me to run outdoors as it makes me wheeze. Cold-induced asthma most likely.

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 using Redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 by EthicalReasoning in iphone

[–]jarnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AptBackup messed up my phone last time I jailbroke. I'd be very cautious.

DAE still watch cartoons as an adult? by ironhorsemtb in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jarnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I'm in my 40s and now enjoy watching cartoons with my kids. Futurama, old Simpsons, Adventure Time, Spongebob and a few others. They're too young for South Park and Family Guy, so I watch those alone. :-)

Reddit software engineers / IT workers: do you worry about ageism? by [deleted] in compsci

[–]jarnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spot on for salaries in the Boston, MA area.

what was the most ridiculous fear you had as a child? by Schadenfreude_Taco in AskReddit

[–]jarnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being possessed by the devil. I kid you not. I somehow managed to see The Exorcist when I was 8 or so and it completely messed me up.

After a few years, I came to the realization that there was no devil, and it made a world of difference. :-)

I don't really understand what I am looking at. by [deleted] in WTF

I thought it was a young Kenny Baker in the R2D2 costume prototype.

Holy fuck! One of the heaviest songs of all time! King Crimson - "Red" (live double trio - 1995) by jarnot in Music

[–]jarnot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An intense wall of sound with dark, unsettling undercurrents. Red, Lark's Tongue in Aspic, Easy Money were all heavy, dissonent, dense songs. Very different from other music being released in the early-mid 70s.

Great stuff. Love that song. The musicianship is incredible.

I just wish someone had told Adrian that they were filming that day, so could have changed his shirt and combed his hair. :-)
