  1. A programmer sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and feels thirsty. Soon, he thinks of a solution. He will leave 2 glasses next to his bed. One full of water, in case he wakes up, and he is thirsty, and one empty glass, in case he wakes up, and he is not thirsty.

  2. Haikus continued

    I'm sorry, there's -- um --

    insufficient -- what's-it-called?

    The term eludes me ...

    * * *

    Printer not ready.

    Could be a fatal error.

    Have a pen handy?

    * * *

    Wind catches lily

    scatt'ring petals to the wind:

    segmentation fault.

    * * *

    The Tao that is seen

    is not the true Tao, until

    you bring fresh toner.

    * * *

    To have no errors

    Would be life without meaning

    No struggle, no joy.

    * * *

    No keyboard present.

    Hit F1 to continue.

    Zen engineering?

  3. Error message haikus

    * Windows error messages in haiku

    A file that big?

    It might be very useful.

    But now it is gone.

    * * *

    The web sit you seek

    cannot be located, but

    endless others exist.

    * * *

    ABORTED effort:

    Close all that you have worked on.

    You ask way too much.

    * * *

    Windows NT crashed.

    The Blue Screen of Death.

    No one hears your screams.

    * * *

    Stay the patient course.

    Of little worth is your ire.

    The network is down.

    * * *

    Three things are certain:

    Death, taxes, and lost data.

    Guess which has occurred.

  4. Reasons kids don't do homework:

    I accidentally divided by zero and my computer burst into flames.

    You didn't initialize the essay length, so I defaulted it to zero.

    My homework made itself read-only, and I didn't have root access.

    My mother redefined my doTheHomework() method with { doTheDishes(); }.

    I outsourced it to China , but they were sleeping.

    I accidentally invoked my do() method on the laundry instead of my homework.

  5. Premium members can get an email notification of publishing pretty much right when it happens. If you do not want to pay, all you can do is constantly keep checking the cache pages closest to your home, looking for the "new" sign.

  6. There is no reason to wait unless the owner specifically instructs you to (which I've never seen happen.) FTL is by some considered as much of an honor as FTF, but what many people care about is that there was a find to start with, so they're not rushing to get FTF when there have been two finds already. Not to mention, later you might forget.

  7. Well to really tell I need the series name (etrex, nuvi, etc. Looking through the search results for "Garmin 250" I can't seem to locate one that will work for caching. If its meant for a car it will kind of work, but only for the "driveup" caches.
