Passport's Pocket Picked

    Yes folks, I'm tired. Getting modded up at 50 and getting nothing from it is such a bore. Bouncing around in the high 40s just isn't worth it anymore. In fact, you might even say I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

    That's why I'm going to blow my Karma brains out, right here on national TV, err... um... international web... err.. whatever. You get the idea.

    Heck, I might even go for negative karma. I mean, VA Linux, err... um... VA Software or VA Chicken Processing or whatever business they are in this week is going to fold soon anyway. What difference does it really make? So go ahead mods, do your worst.

    While I'm waiting for the form submission timeout, let me tell you a little fable. Once upon a time a man heard that there was gold in seawater, but no economical way to extract it. So, he studied chemistry for years, earned a PhD and worked secretly on it in his spare time, neglecting everything including marriage, parties, and anything remotely resembling fun. One night he went out in a boat to test it. Because he forgot to move a decimal point, he didn't realize how fast it would work. He went to sleep, and overnight the electrode got so heavy that the boat sank with him, his idea, and his pathetic life on board.

    The moral of the story? Well, this is /., so "Bill Gates is evil" is the moral.
