This site (www.bigdeadplace.com/) is dedicated to the stories of what really goes on at McMurdo. It's a very funny read; I haven't gotten around to buying the book yet.
So some weathermen that work for NASA say the world is ending? Why do this chuckleheads get more credibility than their brothers at the local ABC affiliate?
I'll be taking a nap. Call me back when they have evidence.
So you can't use your expertise to make a living for 5 years? Or does you contract have your employer paying you severance for 5 years? Two different things. I've acquired many useful skills in the 2.5 years I've been here and they will help me in the future. My contract prohibits me from starting a company that does X*. I'm not a software engineeer or IT guy. My situation is more akin to PepsiCo prohibiting an employee from starting their own soda comapny.
I won't get a severance, but I do get paid very well, with benefits.
My contract prohibits me from engaging in the same business as my current employer for up to 5 years after termination. It makes perfect sense though; why fill my head with Trade secrets and methods just to have me open up shop across the street.
Hell, that's how my boss got started. His employer didn't have a non-compete clause and he proceeded to run them out of business.
Competition is the core of good Capitalism but nothing says you have to help your enemies.
I don't see any indication that Activision will be giving Sony/MS a subsidy for their consoles. I also like spending other peoples money but lets be realistic.

Yeah, we have the most dysfunctional state legislature in the union. (http://www.amazon.com/Three-Men-Room-Betrayal-Statehouse/dp/1595580328)
My apartment is a few blocks from Joe Bruno's office and I stopped in to give him a piece of my mind, for all the good that will do.
That said, all you down state bastards need to do your part too. Us folks in the sticks can't do it alone. http://www.nysut.org/cps/rde/xchg/nysut/hs.xsl/contactelectedofficials.htm
Man this chucklehead hasn't eaten more mod points over the last few days than the Cloverfield monster. Can /. ban his IP address?
I think this "backdoor" story would be an appropriate time for the Goatse link. Where is that dude with the ASCI picture?
Actually, color of socks may not apply.

And people expect them to make Federalized Healthcare work. I guess its all about what agendas you push.
Good points though yagu.
I think this links back to the story earlier about sex with robots http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/14/1555245/.
Although sex with my female Troll from WoW would be kind of awkward.
But you incinerated your faithful Companion Cube in record time. That should make her scared.
I thought the "Couric" was the unitof measure for tartness. Go figure.
You mean "certifiable" for using Vista.
I thank the FSM everyday that the IT department didn't pick me as the "Vista Tester".

The key is to that their faces are up...damn I failed. Can we start over?
No kidding, the line between "Funny" and "Flamebait" moves depending on how constipated they are.
Good job you moose fuckers! I salute you.

Sounds kind of like Blockbuster FUD.

MS wants to give me a cool mask and let me eat beans from a can? Do I have to keep the journal too?
This should be like the youtube debates, only more asinine.
I think they stole this story from the episode of "Denver the Last Dinosaur" wherein Denver disguises himself as a mummy to avoid capture.
Another example of my childhood being recycled. Maybe them can get Michael Bay to crap all over the live-action version.
"OSHA has requested that they remove all chairs from the premises for employee safety."

Ballmer didn't read the "Evil Overlord" rules very carefully. "Never try to absorb an energy field larger than your head."

I think its because he eats them all. Grinding mens bones to make his bread wasn't enough.
