  2. middle age is 45 on Is Middle Age Evolution's Crowning Achievement? · · Score: 0

    if 90 is the lifespan. "middle-aged" is what you are called by people 10 years younger than you. when i was 15, 30-year-olds were creepy old. really bad creepy old. not middle-aged.

  8. Re:Reflections on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 0

    four extensive experiences with IT. three were very, very bad. i've eliminated the everyday he-said she-said stuff. one to the good: IT explained, click-by-click ("push button down and hold down") how to make it work. 1 bad: never returned calls. calls...voice to voice...live. never happened. 2.bad: the one IT in-person meeting was full of 13-year-old 'dismissive' body language by the IT people. (rolling of eyes, etc....if you're a parent, you know it when you see it.) everyone noticed and still refers to it as a Career-Shortening-Gesture. 3.bad: Christmas Party of 2007.

  9. Re:Predictions? on Ask The Bad Astronomer · · Score: 0

    where i live, there has already been an earthquake, hurricane, locusts (cicadas), etc...maybe the Mayans wrote the Bible but were off by a year. oh yeah, i forgot about the masses of little tree frogs in August and the rivers running red (ish) with the clay dirt runoff after the hurricane.

    In This Corner: wearing the green tie.... Abdul the Accused! and the returning Champion: YOUR Mighty Morphin Power Prosecutor...Sam Waterston! realistically, this could apply to the National Spelling Bee or Competition Eating. there are over 1000 cable channels and even more on sat. they need programming! cross-examination drinking games? China trials? twitter is already there..... GrandMa and GrandPa need video and a grandchild to set it up.

  20. nuke 'em or Stuxent 'em on Iran To 'Remove Fuel' From Bushehr Nuclear Plant · · Score: 0

    nukes provided the armageddon shield. the 'intranets' might do the same.

  21. weird facebook = no jury duty? on Lawyers Using Facebook Research For Jury Selection · · Score: 0

    well, that means the 90% of my relatives who don't have any social media awareness, will now pay the neighbor's 9-year-old to "set up something" which could relieve them of jury duty.

  22. cliche after cliche security on Industry IT Security Certification Proposed · · Score: 0

    "moves the ball down the field"...what exactly and specifically does that mean? there are so many more...but, the "value of the company" being the upper limit of cyber-security (indeed, all security combined) expenditures is spot on, even if the breech involved threatens much more than the total value. i look forward to the day that a USA company declares Chapter 7 due to a security breech which threatens to exceed the value of the company.

    who cares about proof? it's another way of hooking up with hot babes. they ALL love to be scared or a part of the experience of being scared. proof? well, lots. extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. that guy.
