Thursday Sept 16th, Highway 101: It was a calm day on 101 until Jim Bob, a.k.a. Bubba parked his pickup truck on the side of the road and declared enough was enough. Jim Bob was in search of an answer.
After several failed attempts at flipping the billboard to uncover the google mystery that "plagued his journey from hayfield to that darn toot'n city", Mr. Bob used a TNT to detonate one side of the sign.
Sadly Bubba never did discover the answer. Bubba leaves behind his dog spot, and rover.
A memorial service is scheduled for Friday Sept 24th.
We're currently working on a patch for the gigantic hole we left in our code and then sent on to you as enterprise grade software. We consider this security breach a code Dark Golden Rod, we're not sure when this might impact you but don't worry in 1-2 weeks we might have a patch for you. In case of panic cover your entire machine with duck tape and plastic wrap your disk arrays.
Usually manufactures put in these little things called fuses, diodes, etc. to protect whatever low voltage electronic equipment is on the other side. This issue has already been solved in numerous ways. If linksys is really cheap they'll just let the microelectronics in your HomePlug card fry, that'll protect your computer pretty nicely -- they usually go first (before the fuses, etc) anyway.
I whole-heartedly agree with mandating that under cover cops be aboard all aircraft. Why not? We have under cover cops on trains; I think it's a good idea to start doing the same on planes. Offer military personnel, cops etc free airfare so your not paying the wages of Bob the lazy sack of shit rent a cop, but rather giving free airfare to a dependable law enforcement official who has real training. And if you argue against this because of the cost, try to remember that the measures the FAA just placed on all national airports (especially Logan - yeah what security?) will most definitely cost more anyway.
2 years of non-repeating music is a nice idea, however I dare you to find 2 years of non-repeating music worth listening to.
Oh sure, the first month would be great, its the next 23 months that would be a bitch. Somewhere in the middle of the second month you know your going to be hearing is the words to all of Barry Manilow's music, then Christopher Cross, Dionne Warwick Paul Anka, etc... and worse yet, you hit the random button and your forced to listen to this shit while you track skip your way to a decent song.
Yeah, it sounds cool but guess what, it isn't.
on the average your not actually working 50 hours a week, lets be a little more honest with the numbers here. If your "at work" for a 10 hour day, your probably on the average putting in 7-8 honest hours of work. The rest of the time is spent jagging off. From my experience it is typical for those people who are in the office for 50, 60, 70+ hours a week usually they've either at the gym or getting their hair cut or off to a 2-3 hour lunch, or perhaps just running that errand that is more convient for them to accomplish near work. So be honest, and stop whining that your at work forever. If your jagging off at work shut your hole and get back to work. To those who this does not apply -- get another life.
It pains me to see that people actually think combining technologies into one big 'ol device is a new idea. Remember the ENIAC, it's now a wrist watch, get over it. "Oh it's such a great thing, now we can rewrite DVD's and CD's on the same device" uh huh, yippie fuckin skippy. What great thing have they done here, you could have purchased the equipment to do this awhile ago, but I fear for those of you who were "slot challenged" this was not an option. Apparently there exist a lot of slot challenged people out there, and them I say, buy a friggin bigger box.
I'm not attacking you personally, I just don't see why this article is such a big deal, or for that matter why its an article at all.

The volume of customers requesting services is down, they needed a new market.
