JFGI

JFGI is new acronym is sweeping the web and it has a straight forward if somewhat ironic meaning when people don’t know what it stands for: just f*&king Google it.

According to the Urban Dictionary, JFGI is used when people ask stupid questions without asking Google first but with a punch, for example “I had to google jfgi to see what it meant. The irony is overwhelming.”

A second entry claims JFGI was brought about “by the interminable need of a transnational company to have employees acronym everything and anything. The more obscure the better.”

There’s even a polite version GISY, which according to one source means “Google is your friend.” Personally I think I’ll stick with JFGI, but you can take your pick.

Mays, 50, was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to Mays' residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Simo Hayha

QUOTE

Who Was He?

Simo Hayha had a fairly boring life in Finland. He served his one mandatory year in the military, and then became a farmer. But when the Soviet Union invaded his homeland in 1939, he decided he wanted to help his country.

Since the majority of fighting took place in the forest, he figured the best way to stop the invasion was to grab his trusty rifle, a couple of cans of food and hide in a tree all day shooting Russians. In six feet of snow. And 20-40 degrees below zero.

Of course when the Russians heard that dozens of their men were going down and that it was all one dude with a rifle, they got f***ing scared. He became known as "The White Death" because of his white camouflage outfit, and they actually mounted whole missions just to kill that one guy.

They started by sending out a task force to find Hayha and take him out. He killed them all.

Then they tried getting together a team of counter-snipers (which are basically snipers that kill snipers) and sent them in to eliminate Hayha. He killed all of them, too.

Over the course of 100 days, Hayha killed 542 people with his rifle. He took out another 150 or so with his SMG, sending his credited kill-count up to 705.

Since everyone they had was either too dead or too scared to go anywhere near him, the Russians just carpet-bombed everywhere they thought he might be. Supposedly, they had the location right, and he actually got hit by a cloud of shrapnel that tore his coat up, but didn't actually hurt him, because he's the f***ing White Death, damn it.

Finally on March 6th, 1940, some lucky ******* shot Hayha in the head with an exploding bullet. When some other soldiers found him and brought him back to base, he "had half his head missing." The White Death had finally been stopped...

...for about a week. In spite of having come down with a nasty case of shot-in-the-face syndrome, he was still very much alive, and regained consciousness on March 13, the very day the war ended.

Pidgin 2.5.3

old_calculator — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:02:22 +0800

Well, we finally kicked Pidgin 2.5.3 out of the nest, two days late. It's spreading its wings and flying.

Noteworthy in this release are that 58 bullet points are in the ChangeLog (not counting the headers for libpurple, Pidgin, Finch, and the protocols) and 85 tickets were closed, 40 of which were marked in trac as patches. Also of note is the insane amount of work Mark Doliner put into our MSN and MySpace plugins, which should resolve a number of crashes and the MySpace "doesn't sign off" issue.

A few big items to summarize:

* Mark did massive code cleanup in MSN
* Mark fixed a number of shortcomings in the MySpace IM protocol as well as doing code cleanup.
* We accepted a ton of patches.
* ICQ typing notifications should work for some third-party clients now.
* XMPP resources now default to the empty string, causing modern servers to assign us a resource via a bind. In the event of an ancient server such as the one DreamHost runs, we will detect the lack of this capability and enforce the default "Home" resource if a user hasn't set a resource.

* XMPP resources can now include __HOSTNAME__ as a special token that will be replaced with the hostname of the machine being used. For
example, if I run Pidgin on my MacBook and configure the resource on an XMPP account to be __HOSTNAME__, the resource sent to the server will be
"macbook", since this is the hostname of my MacBook.

* Some long-outstanding patches have been applied for Gadu-Gadu, implementing IM images.
* Apply some patches for Zephyr, enabling autoreply when away to emulate zaway and some bugs with the 'use tzc' option.
* We no longer get certificate errors for rsi.hotmail.com when logging into MSN and retrieving offline messages.
* Many, many other things best read about in the ChangeLog.

Enjoy this release, which I'll call the "Thank-a-patch-writer" release!
