I remember being flabbergasted when I worked at the open source development lab and we got our first itanium system in, a multi-core, multi-rack nec system, with its own windows pc to boot up in order to get to linux.

if you're into MUD history, I ported the latest source I could find from SillyMUD to work on modern systems: https://github.com/jerrysievert/sillymud it was quite a bit of fun, and the 3rd or 4th MUD I worked on.

heck ya! I often have electric minivans come up next to me that have the "nod". I typically snort back and let them take off the line - they're a ton faster than me, but I'm the one enjoying the drive!

beyond the other explanations that some have given, lego direct order releases ship from more than one warehouse, even in the US - my bricklink western train set shipped from Vegas, and others I had chatted with either got them 3-4 days ear

I've always wondered if Baskin Robbins is a front, I used to see them everywhere in Oregon, where they were always empty even during the summer made me wonder how they stayed in business. as a kid I always thought it was a mob front.
