  3. Re:Obsolete on Detecting Chess Cheats Taxes Computers · · Score: 0

    Yes, they are all obsolete. If you are doing it only for it's artistic value with no other purpose then yes it is obsolete. Not that art isn't a good thing it just isn't required. Running really fast is no longer needed to feed the hungry. Painting is no longer needed to capture historical likenesses.

    "If you have all your commercial software boxes n' licenses"

    They will do you absolutely no good in a BSA audit. If you don't have original invoices that show where you paid for the software any number of pretty stickers or boxes will not satisfy the audit. Believe me, i know. Been there. Done that.

    With the dangerous levels of toxins in a CFL I take them individually, in safe handling boxes, on separate trips each to the land fill using a different route each time. CFLs will KILL you if you are not extremely, extremely careful.

  9. Re:Just pushing out the horizon! on Solving Climate Change By Bioengineering Humans? · · Score: 2

    Let's say we all turn into hobbit-sized vegetarians and reduce our footprint.

    If we turn into hobbits wouldn't our footprint be larger? Or at least the same size but our bodies smaller?

    More applicable example:

    Maintain 100 servers with 100% uptime for 1 year.

    Crash 1 of those servers due to a personal, bad, and visible mistake.

    Will your boss remember the 100 servers with 100% uptime?

    It's very likely that they're introverted egotists. They feed their own ego to their own ends. They get the satisfaction from seeing what they do in the news even if their actual identity isn't attached to it.
