Bonus Check? by aburnsio.com · 2002-10-22 03:47 · Score: 4, Funny

...to help you decide how to spend that Christmas bonus check!
You obviously don't work in the IT industry, I can see. Perhaps you're a superhero from another dimension who's crimefighting organization still gives bonuses?

  No, he's just a management goon who's getting the profit bonuses from laying off 50% of his staff. Very dislike superheroes, except for the spandex of course...

  What we need is an auto-reply along the lines of the famous poll option:

Don't you mean that Christmas Severence Check? Or even more likely that Christmas Unemployment Check?

Because other than Steve Jobs, nobody gets a Christmas bonus large enough to afford the clear plastic and Apple logo.

"The first manufacturer to go to an all-LCD lineup?"

What's that thing in the eMac?

A fifty-pound, vacuum-filled, beam-addressable LCD?

(I guess "CRT" is just an Apple trademark for Color Raster Technology).

what does the LCD have to say to my computer?

"Hello, I'll be your primary display today. I am a Brand X LCD display and can do 1280x1024@60Hz natively. I can do 32bpp, 24bpp, or even 16bpp if you really want, via my digital interface. My black-to-white response time is 20ms, so you can take advantage of that if you like. I have dead pixels at 334,125; 4,85; and 942,223. Hope you can compensate for this. Incidentally, I am DRM-enabled, and you're not registered, so don't even try sending me any copyrighted content. Have a nice day."
