Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments II - The Domino Effect

The guys from EepyBird are back, with 251 bottles of Diet Coke and over 1,500 Mentos mints. In Experiment #137, they did a mint-powered version of the Bellagio fountains. This time, it's one giant Coke & Mentos chain reaction that has to be seen to be believed.

SiliconBeat: My jet's pretty big, how big is yours?

This is a pretty funy set of comments on the rumor that Brin and Page have purchased a Boeing 767.

Struts Error Messages

Ok. So after looking all over God's green earth to find documentation on how to print out an icon next to the field that fails validation, I've finally come up with something. This seems so common it should be flashing in red from the Struts home page. None the less, I will post my solution here so that others can avoid the anguish I went through trying to find this documented. I'm sure there are other ways, if so please share so we can all learn, but this is what I came up with. I added a new "td" to the table and gave it a width="17", and either print out the icon or a non-breaking space, this keeps the fields from moving around when errors are found.

I'll cut right to the chase assuming you have properly configured the struts validator and ApplicationResource.properties file and have the errors printing where ever you put your "html:errors" tag.

explanation: this tag is pretty straight forward. The property corresponds to the name of the property which you want to print out your error indicator. The content can be whatever you want to print out when that field fails validation. We choose to print out an icon.



Hopefully this will help many people out there who are having the same issue, and based on my Google searches, there were many looking for this and no one seemed to know how to do it.

Doctor's Office Etiquette

This is a great little story... enjoy.

An 86 year old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As
he approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what
are you seeing the doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick," he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into
a crowded office and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.

The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some
embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is
something wrong with your ear or something and then discussed the
problem further with the doctor in private."

The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room
full of others, if the answer could embarrass anyone."

The man walked out, waited several minutes and then
reentered. The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The
receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her
advice.

"And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't piss out of it," the man replied.

The doctor's office erupted in uncontrollable laughter.

Cold Fusion

This article does a great job of describing nuclear fusion and why it's cool. It seems some scientists in LA figured out how to make fusion happen at room temperature. Good read, check it out.
