One question I've always had about this technology is: How often do you inadvertently make one of your programmed gestures with the mouse? Do you find yourself browsing the web and all of the sudden a new window is opened, or you accidentally close the browser window?
Make sure to keep all potassium chlorate away from these drives!! "The metal is not attacked by hot or cold acids or aqua regia, but when potassium chlorate is added to the solution, it oxidises explosively. "
you sure about that? i've learned from my experience dealing with customer representatives is that these underpaid, under-appreciated employees usually don't give much of a hoot about the company. They have no stake in the company, therefore they feel no ownership, therefore they really don't care that much. They get paid to man the front line, and part of their job is absorbing the occasional bullet.
hopefully i'm wrong, but i'm skeptical with your approach.

you are soooo right. when i go to work, i expect to be just another cog in the corporate engine. i try, by all means necessary, to suppress any notions that my superiors are wrong; because, after all, they are my superiors and they must know what they are doing. in a truly successful company, everyone must blindly do what the bossman says...after all, if you're not a lemming, then why are you there?

something stupid like an email setup
when you get out of high school, go through college, then get a job, you will find out that seemingly stupid things such as "email setup" can cost companies millions of dollars.
heh, no kidding. I think this is just another Katzism: I never knew there was mass confusion around the word multimedia. Actually, I've found quite the contrary. Most people I talk to, tech savy and computer illiterate, have a firm grasp of the word multimedia and all of its coherent themes. jeez.
for starters, you can test how your business applications will run in a stressed environment. It may be hard to imagine, but a lot of software (custom code especially) works a bit differently under stressful conditions. Think about applications that have dependencies on data from other applications...how do they react when such data takes a bit longer to arrive? btw, this is only one example out of many;]

Have any facts to back it up? Being built from the 'ground up' means absolutely nothing to me, as I've seen software built poorly from scratch. but at least it was from the ground up, right?
>and now a story about some antique piece of hardware that i've never even heard of
Hypercard is not hardware. Hypercard is a software that Apple released in 1987 that was the first widely available personal hypermedia authoring system. In my opinion, the software had huge influences on a lot of the stuff you see these days and even acted as a pre-cursor to something you may have heard of: WWW.
In a society where it is quite chic to be a Microsoft-hater, how do you deal with the ill-informed, naive, wannabe [insert OS of choice] zealots?
The people I am referring to are the folks who will try to argue about how much they think Microsoft sucks when they really are just rehashing things they have heard or read somewhere. They have no real experience or knowledge to share, yet they command a lot of attention.

Nice to see there are still visionaries in science.
I don't get it. Are you implying that science currently lacks enough visionaries?
I'll ask before I argue, and you're right, that passage is beautifully written.
