Naw! At a certain level, once you stop actually physically producing an item or providing a service to a customer and generating income, you are no longer bound by the constraints of 'performance' or 'results'. Instead, you get 'bonuses' and 'profit sharing'.
I've used the TV Tuner on my Mac server to stream live tv to my iPhone over 3G. It worked pretty well. I only have access to the 70 odd analog stations, though. Tuner can't get Comcast's digital stuff.
AT&T's helping me not use up my bandwidth by not having any signal within 5 miles of my house. But they did offer to piggy back their signal on my network connection, for just $150.
I will bury them under the stacks of My Little Pony and Barbie DVD's! I will shower them with Apple iTunes receipts! I will drink their blood from the skull of Ken Starr!
Yup. Even at work (remote tech support), I've gone from trying to answer every call and work as many problems at once to only working a couple active issues at a time and letting VM catch things.
I've also turned off all audible alarms for email, IM, etc.
For outside of work, I find doing anything with my hands (wood work, drawing, music) really helps stress relief and getting my concentration back.

But evidently funny.
Need some SCA armor?
Man, would hate for my member to be servered.
BUt then most /. stories are redundant.
There, fixed that for you.
Heh. Started BBS'ing with an ancient handset modem with my TI but not having a disk drive, just cassette, didn't do much.
Once I got a Mac had a Delphi account. Back then, with a Mac, had to purchase TCP software, Telnet, etc. What a pain.
And you try to tell young people this and they won't believe you!
I think I got my Ti99/4A back in 80 as well. Limewire was so late '90's college students who hand't heard of usenet.

Gee, AT&T is nice!
I do not like the number '6'.
What's the relation between Metric Asston and Imperial Buttload?
At least now I know Limewire is still alive and kicking. I hadn't thought of it in ages.
I would flip over to Syphy channel and watch this movie.
Except profits are parked in the Caymans and all they show in the U.S. are year-on-year losses.
Might go plaid.

My 750 GB movie collection won't fit on it either.
Am picturing an army of one armed zombies shuffling around sidewalks, bumping into things.
Teh interwebs is a static medium. Don' you be bringin' in any of that updates and additions stuff. Chiseled in stone is all the web rolls.
I'll be happy when I can have a 360 dpi 52" display for the AV setup at home. Whey are they still trumpeting 1080P HD?
You forgot the Apple Color Laser Writer. Every Kinkos got one but that's the only place I ever saw them. Was like a cubic yard of pain.

By fuel efficient, do you mean in distance driven per fuel burned or power produced per fuel burned?
I don't make enough money and my parents aren't rich enough for incompetence to be a plus for me.
If I screw up, I end up paying.
Dood! You're made out of star dust that has organized itself to form eyes and have time to look up at the sky.
