To toast the achievements of Canadian athletes — and only Canadian athletes, unless they’re feeling philanthropic — Molson Canadian has installed a Canadian-flag-red refrigerator in the Canada Olympic House in Sochi filled with its sweet, sweet mass-market lager.

Mad hax0r skillz
It takes a certain amount of skill to write a 3 line shell script like this:
#!/bin/bash source [FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST] service [EXECUTABLE NOT CONFIGURED AS A SERVICE] start
It takes an ever greater amount of still to have this as part of a well known, large-scale code project, where the controller scripts can point to possibly conflicting (or sometimes empty!) configuration files.
The nightmare continues.
Expectations vs resources
True, how very true.

I want a penguin as a pet!!!
Lala the King Penguin was rescued from a fishing line when he was a couple of years old and when he was fully recovered, he refused to leave. He’s been the family pet ever since (he was 10 in 2006, when this was filmed). One day he went shopping with them and got very excited about the fish shop (understandably!). Since then, he goes off on his own to pick up fish from the shop for the family, which be brings back in his little penguin backpack, having nommed his own fish at the shop. And when he returns home to his Japanese family’s house, there is a custom-build, air-conditioned room waiting for him.

Olympic Gay love
“The hotels are lousy. The Olympic village is a mess. The food is horrible. And, well, that’s what happens when you tick off gay people.” –David Letterman
“The Olympics start Friday and Russia’s implementing the most intensive security in Olympics history. The government will monitor every email. They will monitor every social media message and they will listen in on every phone call. In fact, people are now comparing Russia to the United States. That’s how bad it is.” –Jay Leno
“Today, the Olympic torch arrived in Sochi. But Vladimir Putin immediately put it out because he thought it was too flaming.” –Conan O’Brien
“Germany just unveiled its rainbow-colored Olympic uniforms, which seem to be a subtle protest against Russia’s anti-gay laws. You can tell how much the world has changed when Germans are the ones who are saying, ‘Discrimination is just wrong.'” –Jimmy Fallon
“Russia also has the Winter Olympics, and that’s a big mess too because, you know, Russia is really, really anti-gay. You know this? Seriously, they said they would arrest any Olympic athletes for “promoting” homosexuality. In a related story, figure skating has been canceled.” –Bill Maher
