] 100% of the chunks in the amount of uptime needed to

... WTF kind of sense does that make!

http://www.thisisatest.com/a/long/path/filename.html?x=1&y=2

Should parse to:

Protocol: HTTP
Host: www.thisisatest.com
Path: /a/long/path/
File: filename.html
Query: ?x=1&y=2

Not:

Path: /a/long/path/filename.html
File: /a/long/path/filename.html?x=1&y=2

WTF is wrong with these people?

URL.getFile() is the sux

Me: And whats this vision clause cover?

I was able to see this show while on vacation last week, and it was incredible. Live orchestra with opera singers, plus the acrobats on tightrope, trapeze, trampoline, BMX bikes, giant wheel thingys, human pyramids and more.

If you are in Orlando, you need to see this show.

Dear Eric,

Here is how I read your email:

Dear Acidus,

I am a thief specializing in stealing people's identities... ... I mean... ... a "doctor" who is doing "research." Please tell me where I can get illegal information and stolen account numbers. Also, please ignore the fact that, while I am a "doctor," my command of the English language is on par with a 11 year old Pakistani orphan.

I sincerely hope to make you an accessory to my multiple felony convictions soon.

Regards,
A flaming piece of shit.
