I don’t know if you have tried to parse an URL yet for some sort of application. You might think it’s a relatively trivial excersize in string parsing. However…take a look at this: <scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>;<parameters>?<query>#<fragment> Here is a tutorial on the structure of an URL and all the characters and parameters that go into constructing one.

Peas in a pod? Evidently it’s true, this US Congressman thinks that Guam is going to capsize. I notices that CBS News posted this on April 1st, so I’m hoping it’s an April Fools Joke but I doubt it. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is raising some eyebrows with a comment he made about the U.S. [...]

It’s not going to stop until they control our lives 100%. “They” always know better… Here is the snip that has my panties in a bunch today: “the Institute of Medicine urged the Food and Drug Administration to start regulating the amount of sodium in foods, since simply telling us to eat less salt hasn’t [...]
If you know anything about Neil Armstrong then you know it’s uncharacteristic for him to speak publicly much, let alone come out with both guns blasting. While I think “blasting” and “rebuke” are a little harsh for what I read of Armstrong’s comments, I came away after reading them with a sense of pride and [...]
As loyal readers of The Minority Report know, I stea…uh…quote from Ghacks regularly enough and this morning when I read their tutorial on burning DVD’s using Imgburn I thought I would throw my two cents in. I use Imageburn almost weekly and it’s never let me down. It’s freaking awesome!! There isn’t too much that [...]
This could suck ass. The A.V. Club has an interview that they’ve done with Justin Long of the Apple I’m a Mac vs PC commercials. He talked about his work on various projects but the one that we are most worried about are the continuation of the “Hi I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” [...]
Everything is explained in the clip but just imagine how Castle Wolfenstein would look!! :P In all seriousness, Google Chrome is fucking awesome just because they are pushing the edge (beside Opera but people actually install Chrome…) and that is pushing all the other browsers. Even IE9. The new crop of HTML5 web browsers are [...]
George Takai is the shit. I’m not against gays and really don’t pay much attention to their issues but even if you are a hardcore fag hater, you have to admit that George Takai is the shit. What this “Be Counted” U.S. Census video. George Takei & Brad Altman YouTube — BE COUNTED — George [...]
Looks like I’m not alone in my opinion, based on the Guardian article on James Lovelock, that he is a socialistic idiot. Anybody who calls for a suspension of the worlds’ democracies in order to fight climate change is an idiot. Don’t get me wrong — it’d take that (and more) to actually do anything [...]
This is an essay written by Jeff Bigler back in 1996 after speaking to a friend at MIT. Jeff thinks that “geek” can be substituted for “nerd” and I agree. Very interesting and explains a lot of my interaction with people including my geek friends. What do you think? All people have a “tact filter”, [...]
Now you can have your nuggets and eat them too! Scientists reported the development of a “smart” roof coating, made from waste cooking oil from fast food restaurants, that can “read” a thermometer. The coating automatically switches roles, reflecting or transmitting solar heat, when the outdoor temperature crosses a preset point that can be tuned [...]
Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades. This is the stark conclusion of James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory. … “I don’t think we’re yet evolved to the point where we’re clever enough to handle [...]
I think this is unfortunate and sad for both parties however, Eric Schmidt needs to get on the right side of the privacy issue. Eric Schmidt might advocate for making information “even more open and accessible,” but not when it comes to his mistresses. We’re told the Google CEO’s aggressive lawyers brought down ex-girlfriend Kate [...]
Look close. You may be staring at the end of cancer. Those tiny black dots are nanobots delivering a lethal blow to a cancerous cell, effectively killing it. The first trial on humans has been a success, with no side-effects: … The most amazing thing is that you can send as many of these soldiers [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
