Alas, all attempts to let this guy know just how much of an idiot he was were met with threats of job termination over "telling (him) how to run (his) business".
Hmmmm. He had a business that was successful enough to amass wealth for himself and employ other people and you had what? A job?

Let's say I'm carrying my couch with me to keep the dog off of it while I'm gone during the day. Why, they'd be able to track my every move!
I'll either have to take up woodworking or get rid of the dog....
Actually there are several sysadmins that pre-date Ashpenaz. When Jehu engineers a hostile takeover he is assisted by two or three of them and it seems that they may have been using a GUI interface:
2 Kings 9:32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs.
...my impression was that they plan to get the dots really small, to the point where the eye can't distinguish them as individual points--then your eye just takes the average and gets whatever color was intended. They said something similar in the article with respect to getting clean shades of grey.
I thought they were talking specifically about monochrome at that point and the shades of gray were accomplished by percentage of the pixel that was allowed to show white (size of ink dot) only.
I don't want to watch video or 3D graphics on "paper".
Gee, why not? Have you seen the prices on the really nice flat panel televisions (big screen)? Why not paper a wall with this stuff and have a really big screen that will likely cost less to produce?
As a doctor, I can say that the evidence for this is weak, at best.
So. All doctors can make this assessment even if they did not participate in the research?
I'm not a doctor, but I sometimes play one on/.
People with permanent pacemakers use cell phones without problems...If they can't use the most minimal of shielding of equipment, cell phones are the least of their problems.
I have a picture in my mind of people with pacemakers wearing tin-foil around their chests...
Radios, pagers and cell phones and such should all be sanitized after any call they are used on.
Not necessary. It's not the call that infects the equipment. If it's the user that infects it you've got a different problem. It's only necessary to disinfect between patients. If a doctor/nurse/whatever examines a septic patient and then sterilizes equipment immediately, it should be perfectly fine to use repeatedly until the next patient is visited. It would probably be best to sanitize both before and after patient care since some patients (burn patients for example) are more succeptible to infection. In that case you're not trying to stop a particularly nasty pathogen from spreading, but ordinary day-to-day stuff from infecting a particularly receptive host.
What is it about mobile phones in a hospital that they get infected, when all the other wall phones in the hospital that doctors will use to return pages won't get infected?
Immediacy.
A pager is happy to wait until you've removed protective garb and washed up before you check it. A central phone at a nurses station will likely be answered by the unit clerk and put on hold or a message taken.
Cell phones ring for a short period and people tend to think they have to answer them or lose the call. I even see people who have voice mail act like they have to get the call before it's "lost". If someone's been playing "phone-tag" they also won't want to miss the "important" call when it finally comes.
You most certainly can. A gas autoclave does not use heat and is used for instruments and things that will not tolerate either heat or humidity. In fact, it is likely the moisture that would render your cellphone 'sterile' (functionally as well as medically) in a standard autoclave.

If your intent was a cathartic release you've likely succeded. If your intent was to communicate something to Darl McBride I'm afraid you've neutered any points you might have made (not that I think for a minute that he'd have actually received any revelation from it).
Doesn't sound like her mom is either. My point was that one has nothing to do with the other. Twelve year olds don't misunderstand the subtle nuances of shoplifting, vandalism or murder but you have them involved in those.
Before this goes much further, bear in mind that you're assuming that such an attack actually took place...
Right, I for one didn't notice any problems with SCO's web pages. Then again, the only time I've been there in recent memory is to look at the picture of the guy who's the most famous geek of all (sans his red hat).....
It doesn't imply universal guilt; however it might be indicative of institutional "guilt"...
No. It's just an indicator of individual guilt. Now, if a substantial percentage of Mormons began kidnapping young girls you might be able to make a case. As long as the percentages aproximate the population at large you can't make that implication....be it wilful or negligent (cf Catholic priests).
Now, if your Mormon kidnappers of young girls are being shielded by the LDS church you've got something.
Well, in the case of business correspondence, letters to the editor or to elected representatives the use of such terminology get's your precious prose dumped with the crackpots and conspiracy theorists.
It's not like I called him a "eunuch".
But I though Darl was all about protecting eunuchs....
"It's not like we were doing anything illegal," said Torres. "This is a 12-year-old girl, for crying out loud."
I've worked with lots of 12 year olds. Being twelve doesn't prevent kids from breaking the law. The two are not linked.
Hopefully, though, the public will see this as an extremely heavy-handed approach and the backlash against the recording industry will cause the dinosaur to rethink its business model in today's electronic age. I mean, even $3,000.00 for the smallest settlements seems steep. But supposedly they're only going after the most prolific traders who have downloaded hundreds of albums or thousands of songs.....
Read Zelazny's "Lord of Light" (I think that's the right one) where the techies create a society based upon an ancient pantheon (wherin the techs are gods).

if you enjoy hiking and being outdoors why not have a reason to go out there other than just to hike?
Um. If you enjoy hiking I would think that would be your motivation.
And if there's no one to grade your papers, you're missing a whole lot.
/. where there are any number of people lining up to tell you you're wrong....
What about moderated usenet groups or chat rooms? Just look at
You forgot some variables. The biggest being discretionary income. That needs to rise in order for an increase in C to occur.

It's also nice when the screen isn't at the same height as your nipples
What? You can't see from your nipples???
