In a couple months, I will copy all your personal data to a public open FTP, photoshop the pics of your family to something inexplicably horrible and embarrassing and sold any other personal information to the highest bidder.
STOP PUTTING YOUR PERSONAL CRAP ON THE COMPANY'S EMAIL.
As an IT leader/decision maker in a corporate environment, I would consider this a personal failing and an IT department failing. We (IT) are the experts. We have the skills and knowledge. If someone does not have the skills or knowledge to use a corporate tool (PC, server, network, etc...) it is OUR responsibility to provide training.
I have a "technology orientation class" periodically. 60 minutes of "do this, don't do that". It eliminates the "I didn't know" and "how do I..." problems.
It is arrogant, ill-informed and misguided to demand that an end user know how to make your job easier.
Also, since when did evolution stop? Who knows if in another 100 million years, the whales may evolve microscopic hairs.
Whales seem more likely to evolve a digestive system that drawn nutrition from waste plastic in water than microscopic hairs that make them more efficient swimmers. Evolution has to do with increased survival. Swimming slightly more efficiently would have less of an impact than the capacity to eat the slurry of waste we are dumping in the oceans.
People often confuse evolution with improvement. Evolution is adaption. Pure and simple.
Today, Slashdot.org, a technological news website published a story claiming that news stories could be automatically generated from computers. The absurdity of the story was not lost on the human rea...Attribute already declared at line 15, position 6 !.. Invalid I/O file..
And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here!
I have reviewed the other comments and agree that 30% is not much help and that it may encourage risky behavior from those who believe it to be a magic bullet.
Given all of that, I am still hopeful. We had a disease that until now we had made no significant inroads on controlling. Now we have something. We have a beta version or an alpha. Maybe some smart guy will come up with a beta 2 that covers 40%. Then 50%. Maybe in my kids lifetime this horrible disease will be gone......and I can start screwing total strangers with impunity again!
I thought exactly the same thing. We have no idea if life requires carbon or even matter (ala "They're Made Out Of Meat" http://baetzler.de/humor/meat_beings.html).
today is spelling optional day.
To communicate via writing, you must spell. Just not correctly. Perhaps "Today is spelling correctly optional day." would be more accurate.

You'll even have fantasies about alien civilizations as you requested; but in the end, back on Earth, you'll be lobotomized!
Did you seriously think you were going to get a sympathetic ear HERE? At /.?
Cryostatis meet reality. Reality, this is Cryostatis. You two should get to know each other.

Oh, yeah, apparently you can't be president with a whole brain.
...then it was over.
Thanks for wasting 3:43 of my life. The only justice is that the idiot who created this wasted a lot more and is that much closer to death.

I'd rather hide in my office and not take the pay cut...
This is right up there with the bonus content downloads with a Blu-Ray.

I can still teach my users to power cycle their own damned computers.

In the future, I will never appreciate a piece of fiction unless it is 100% scientifically accurate.
