The Boss : “there has to be some civility in the world”

For crying out loud !

Internal Affairs Agent : Hang on ! (zooms in with binoculars)
This is one screwed-up crew…

Special Agent Derrick Vann (Samuel L. Jackson) : Alright… just so that there’s no confusion, here’s the deal : you’re in my world now not yours and in my world your responsibilities begin and end with me.

Andy Fidler (Eugene Levy): And what would these responsibilities be ?

Special Agent Derrick Vann : Well these guys think you want to badgun from them. I need you to meet them one more time and set up a bass so I can bust their ass.

Andy Fidler : Okay, I… I.. I’m developing a slight phobia about meeting these guys. The whole meeting thing, quite franky, is getting irritating – I have to be honest.

Look, I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do. Why can’t I go ? Why does any of this have to do with me ???

Special Agent Derrick Vann : Because everytime these guys meet somebody new, they look out for the man. And you, most certainly do not look like the man.

Andy Fidler : Oooh I don’t look like the man… well thank you because that clears up… absolutely nothing ! Who… who’s the man ?

Special Agent Derrick Vann : The he, the pig, the poh-poh, 5-0, the undercover agent that’s gonna bust their ass ! You’re such a white ray son of a bitch these assholes trust you !

Andy Fidler : Well, you know, people do trust me.

Special Agent Derrick Vann : That’s not a compliment shit-stained !

Andy Fidler : Okay, you know what ? Why do you swear so much ? Do you think it makes you sound tougher ? When you just swear all the time ?

Special Agent Derrick Vann : Fuck you.

Andy Fidler : Okay that’s good. That’s really good. Really quality.

You know I could go around all day saying “f*** you”, “f*** this” and “f*** that” and “f***ing this, you motherf****r” but I don’t because there has to be some civility in the world.

So really there’s a trick you can use to curb that habit : everytime you feel like saying the f word just go ahead and say it and then add “crying out loud” :
“Fuck crying out loud”.
“Fock crying out loud”.
“Fock crying out loud”.
And before you know it, you’re saying “ooooh, for crying out loud”.

Why people believe Americans are stupid

Trouvé au hasard de mes pérégrinations, un petit micro-trottoir aux Etats-Unis sur des questions d’actualités et de culture générale.

Le reportage n’est peut-être pas entièrement subjectif mais il faut bien avouer que certaines réponses sont vraiment édifiantes. Cela va du comique à l’inquiétant, en passant par le pathétique.

Mettre à jour un forum IPB

Ouf ! J’ai encore le sang qui bat dans mes tempes et un rythme cardiaque proche de 140 bpm…

La raison ? Je viens, en tant qu’administrateur d’un forum, de réaliser une mise à jour d’un forum IPB et ce, pour la première fois de ma vie.

On ne peut pas dire que je sois novice en la matière mais ce cas de figure diffère un peu des situations auquelles je suis habitué : on n’a pas tous les jours l’occasion d’avoir entre les mains une base de données avec 25 000 membres et 110 000 posts ! Le simple export de la base SQL avoisine les 130 Mo.

Autrement dit, on n’a pas vraiment le droit à l’erreur : un schmilblick SQL et c’est 130 Mo à réimporter morceaux par morceaux via PHPmyadmin (horreur absolue).
