And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Completely random question: Who here has the powers of 2 memorized? How high do you have them memorized?

The highest I do is 2^13 = 8192.

Key powers of 2 to know are 2^8 = 256 (because a byte has 8 bits, for a total of 256 possible numbers) and 2^10 = 1024, as a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, etc. (unless we're talking about marketing and HD size).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, tommy. We are so, so different.

I don't have them memorized exactly, but I roughly know 2^15, 2^16, 2^31, and 2^32 because of short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Grump. I have to come up with a costume for this weekend - you're supposed to come as your favorite bad ass. Suggestions?

You're blonde - go as ita! (Even though she's not blonde anymore.)

Even though she's not blonde anymore.

My worldview has completely changed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, tommy. We are so, so different.

Hee.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Awesome! You know how many bytes in a megabyte....

Now I'm trying to think about who's a bad ass. I mean, there are badasses like in Kill Bill, but also maybe Rizzo from Grease, Annie Oakley, Condi Rice?
