  1. Low carb and moderation will end acid reflux.

  2. Most game are network now and your 'stuff' is online, so hacking the game isn't nearly as fun.

  3. Would you hire a lawyer that doesn't use computers as part of their practice? I am a pretty good programmer, but if I don't have all my resources in front of me I have a hard time talking about it (ie don't interview well)

  5. I've worked with many fine Indian immigrants(green card, work visa) over the years and even they have half-jokingly talked about how they could be replaced by H1-Bs.

  6. ...and 'greed is good' turned employment into a zero-sum game....

    You don't know what your talking about. The aluminum film oxidizes and the CDs 'rot'.

    The cds I bought in the mid 80s died 15 years later... I have 50s records that play same as when they were new.

    Not real fond of hamsters, domesticated rats are much better pets. Less likely to bite and quite a bit more intelligent.

    LoL that Owlet is cute. Back in late 90s the equivalent thing was the size of computer case and we had to wrap a strap around his chest.

    Our first son literally stopped breathing 10 minutes after he was born (~10 lbs and otherwise healthy) and spent a week in ICU. We used one of these monitors the first several months. There are actually legitimate uses for these things....

    They aren't a technology company they sell toys for man-babies. According to their latest earnings announcement they have nowhere to go but down.

    I actually used to make a living with Director a few decades ago. There was a period when interactive CDs were really popular (at least to sell as a service. I don't think anyone actually watched any of them). We made things like training modules to go with stuff like printers or complex animated sales presentations. Shockwave was an attempt to provide a plug-in to play Director content in a browser.

    Flash was a completely different product and code base...

    So tired of Apple apologists. If the company disappeared from the earth, there would be no impact. If milking masochistic consumers is success, than have at it.

    Believe it or not, large amounts of cash reserves is not a good sign. It indicates the company is stagnant and doesn't have anything to invest in internally to make the company grow.
