    "The Final Countdown" is easily Asia's best song.
    Didn't Asia do Africa? ...or was that the sequel to Debbie does Alice?
    No, that was Toto. (Once he left Kansas, because he was a wayward son. I'll stop now.)

    Seriously, though, Toto was the band that performed the song "Africa". It's a favorite of zombies, but they always get the words wrong. "I ate some braaaaaains down in Africa..."

    Well, it might have been, except it was a Europe song, not Asia.
    Hm. Europe's a band. Asia's a band. America's a band. Africa's just a fucking song. So is Australia.

    You'll notice there's no comma in "It works Tim." Clearly, whatever "it" may be, it is working Tim. Tim is the direct object, not the addressee.
    I thought Tim was an adverb. How does it work? It works Tim. In fact, it's working so Tim right now I had to throw up a dialog box to tell you just how Tim it's working.

    ns2.on.net must be a transcendental DNS server then. (192.231.203.2)

    Hint: 172.[16-31].x.x and 192.168.x.x are private networks, not the entire /8.

    "Explode" is a function that unpacks an old-type file archive.

    Specifically, it's the obsolete Zip Implode/Explode method, and the error message means it has either an invalid compressed Huffman table (if Implode uses that) or an invalid LZ78 dictionary. In other words "compressed data corrupted".

    Does anyone else find it somewhat disturbing that Facebook apparantly saves your old passwords as well?

    It seems to only do so for a few weeks. I had to change mine a few months ago, and as humans do, I kept entering the old one. After about 7 days, it stopped saying "old password" and said "incorrect password".

    Zemm:

    Yes - if you need /8, you need 10.0.0.0. Sadly I have seen software that gets these private ranges wrong. Including some (cheapish residential grade) routers. I mean it's not rocket surgery to look them up, is it?

    National Rail Enquiries seems to have a different definition of "cheapest" from most other people.
    The latest round of fare rises has probably caused a few overflow errors.

    Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.

    Unless you count Afrika Bambaataa. Australia is also a major motion picture. I'm gonna call my next band "Antarctica".

    "Some people call me...Tim?"

    This is what happens when someone throws an alert() dialog into a page on a production server to diagnose a problem. They know a few people are going to get the message but figure no one will care.
