The Wrong Trousers.

You just can't take *BSD seriously when its fronted by losers like these. Would you buy software from them? I don't think so! You BSD groupies need to find some sexy girls like her ! I mean just look at this girl ! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox . As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx . I mean are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass ?!

With sexy chicks like the lovely Lt. Gay Ellis you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of Linux if she told you to? Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight deamon or a gay looking goat ! Don't you wish you could get one of these ? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty !

I didn't post this as AC, so I must not be trolling.

Purple-haired moonbabes run LINUX! And that's good enough for me.
props to the Ceren/BSD troll.

What is the obsession with getting robots to look and do things like humans?

It's a small step towards having your own personal Lieutenant Commander Data.

original captain of the Enterprise, referred to repeatedly as William F---ing Shatner.

I thought someone would have noted that William F'ing Shatner played Capt. Kirk who was not the first commander of the Enterprise having been preceeded by Capts. Robert April and Christopher Pike.

I remember hearing that there are lots of engineers who were initially inspired by the work of Mr. Mongomery Scott.

Leonard Nimoy: "Up walked this woman with long, dark hair, whom none of us had ever seen before. She paused to listen to Walter, then said helpfully, 'I think they're across the Bay, in Alameda.' Her reaction was so ingenuous and perfect that we included her in the shot, and wound up negotiating a contract with her, so that we could pay her for talking. It was a wonderful accident, from our perspective as well as hers."

William Shatner: "An awesome Godlike image appears, surrounded by angels, and demands that the Enterprise transport him back toward more populated sections of the universe. Kirk then challenges 'God,' and an argument ensues. As it escalates, 'God' begins showing his true colors and his image begins to transform, ultimately becoming unmistakably Satanic. The angels simultaneously change into hordes of gargoyles, the Furies of Hell. At that point, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, still suffering from the effects of their first real adversarial relationship, split up, with each man running in a separate direction. McCoy falls, breaking his leg, and is surround by the Furies, as is Spock. At the same time, however, Kirk has broken free, but even with a clear path toward escape, a last look back at the fates of his friends convinces Kirk to go back, risking his life in an effort to save them. Spock is first, and when he's been successfully freed, the pair immediately joins forces in an attempt to save McCoy, who's already been carried away by the minions into Hell. Descending together into the river Styx, Spock and Kirk fight off their hideous attackers and save their injured friend, with Kirk carrying McCoy on his shoulders as they flee."

1. You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy. From this day on, your loyalty will always be in question.
   
   You should make your employer aware you are unhappy! How else will anything get fixed? Of course, you should have already brought this up in your last review ; )
   
   
2. When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember who is loyal and who is not.
   
   This can go both ways. Your new employer might question your loyalty because you jumped ship! Or, your old employer might feel you're even more loyal because you stayed.
   
   
3. When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutbacks with you.
   
   Not if you were so underpaid to begin with. Sure, if you were whiny about making so little, when in reality, you were already the highest paid employee, then I agree with that one.
   
   
4. Accepting a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride; you were bought.
   
   And what were you before your acceptance, hmmm? Slave labor? Sometimes the only way for even your boss to get you to the level of compensation they feel you deserve, is for them to present the offer to upper management. I would consider the counteroffer a compliment - they thought highly enough of you to actually do something about it!
   
   
5. Where is the money for the counteroffer coming from? All companies have wage and salary guidelines which must be followed. Is it your next raise early?
   
   Early raise? Why wait? Also, in a company with even a few employees ( > 10 ), your increase will truely not have that much of a negative impact when following guidelines.
   
   
6. Your company will immediately start looking for a new person at a cheaper price.
   
   Doubtful. Unless you are in a low-skill position, why would they bother with a counteroffer? They've probably invested time and money into making you a better employee through training and the like. They don't want to start from scratch, that would be far more costly.
   
   
7. The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a change will repeat themselves in the future, even if you accept a counteroffer.
   
   Of course they will! They would have at the new job, too! It's part being in the work force. Part of your responsibility is to let your employer know your concerns. Without change, there will be stagnation.
   
   
8. Statistics show that if you accept a counteroffer, the probability of voluntarily leaving in six months or being let go in one year is extremely high.
   
   Statistics sited of course. =/ I can see this being true, as the folks who are part of the study weren't happy where they were to begin with - the reason for that are probably varied, going beyond simple dissatisfaction with compensation.
   
   
9. Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy with your co-workers will never be the same. You will lose the personal satisfaction of peer group acceptance.
   
   If you are making significantly more than them now to start with, I can see things going sour. But, if after the counteroffer acceptance you are end up making about the same as the rest of your peers, it might actually improve, and earn more respect!
   
   
10. What type of company do you work for if you have to threaten to resign before they will give you what you are worth?
    
    Who said anything about threats? In larger organizations, radical alterations in pay need extreme justification - where even Montgomery Scott-like performance (miracle worker) doesn't cut it to upper management.
    

Here is some biographical info on the beloved "Scotty" of Star Trek.
