Ralph Lauren: The Hits Keep On Coming

Although Ralph Lauren have apologized for their last outrageous bout of Photoshop exuberance, they still haven't apologized for the original DMCA their lawyers issued to this blog.
Which makes it quite difficult to resist showing you this window display from Sydney, Australia. Thanks to PG!

Ok, this one is DMCA proof, I assume.

Question Digested: 1451

Here's another question I asked with a very long answer in reply. My question is just a pun. I switch "Oracle" with "Ocular." Comedy ensues.

The answer is a clever and detailed parody of a digest for The Internet Oracle. So basically, it's an in-joke for people who get into this deeper than the average "question-asker." Don't feel bad if you don't get it.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

Oh great and powerful Oracle...

Hi, I'm The Internet Ocular. I keep getting e-mails intended for you. It doesn't happen too often, so it's not a bother. How do you want to go about dealing with this? I could just forward them to you when I get them or would you like me to just collect them together into a digest?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

Subject: Internet Ocular #0001-01

The Internet Ocular has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> The other day I saw a pirate dog, you know with a patch
> and a wooden leg. My sister said, "Look at that dog with
> one eye!" So I covered one eye and looked at it, but it
> didn't really look all that different than when I viewed
> it with one eye. What gives?

And in response, thus spied the Ocular:

} I see. Next time swagger up to the dog and say in your
} best John Wayne voice, "Pilgrim, I know who done shot yer
} Pa."
}
} You must see about giving The Ocular a salty dog, hold the
} the scurvy.

iTerm

I know how to fix it, I just thought this message was kind-of funny. I got the message after iTerm recommended doing an automatic update to the latest version:

'You cannot open the application "iTerm" because it is not supported on this architecture.'

Yes, I have an old 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 17" PowerBook (2GB RAM). And I haven't been keeping up with iTerm updates. No worries. I downloaded it manually and it ran fine. But it makes me wonder if a scenario will ever arise where I can't manually fix it because nobody bothers to compile a PPC or Universal Binary any longer. What it is, this laptop is the most relyable piece of hardware I've ever owned. I am on highly borrowed time as it is, so I can't say I'm truely worried much about this.
