Why 7 years? Is your new career path related to your IT work? I read in the "What Color Is Your Parachute?" books that you should take either of two paths to change careers: switch job then industry or vice versa. Switching both job and industry in one step is usually too difficult to get your foot in the door.
1. job A in industry B 2. job A in industry Y 3. job X in industry Y

Science experiments all start with a hypothesis. So Randi's hypothesis is that psychics are fakes. If his test is unfair or unscientific, then let the "psychics" create a fair, scientific, repeatable test. I didn't think so...
Making Photoshop "native" would mean rewriting most of the code to use a portability layer, probably it would mean rewriting the UI code to use GTK+ or Qt, which is highly non-trivial, and finally you'd have to rewrite a lot of the documentation.
Considering Adobe has ported Photoshop to Windows 9x, NT, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X, I'm sure they already have a portability layer.
What about porting of landline phone numbers to cell phones? Is this possible, even between carriers, especially if the carriers like to claim the phone numbers are bound to a geographic region?
What do they do if you try to record "alternative" lines that include vulgarities?:-) "Minnie, you beyotch!!1"
When I was on the Splash Mountain ride, my friend and I took off our shirts, in preparation for the photo finish. Right before we reached the drop, a disembodied voice politely but authoritatively boomed "Please put your shirt on." Those Disney people watching, always watching...
What would prevent a "unique Jesus" from visting multiple planets? There is only one of me, yet I can visit multiple states and countries. (I'm still working on the multiple planents thing.)
I once made a $50 math mistake on my 1040 tax return. Even though the error was in THEIR favor, the IRS notified me. I was surprised and grateful, but this just demonstrates that since they are going to double-check my 1040, there was really NO reason for me to waste my time in the first place! >:-\
The paradox of monopolies is that their huge revenue is so enticing to upstart competitors that monopolies ATTRACT competition. For example, Microsoft has a defacto monopoly on desktop OSes, but the huge market makes Apple, Sun, and Linux drool as they fight for a sliver. A small sliver of a big pie can be very profitable for a small company.
How many educated people work for the old school telephony companies? These companies are not innovating much these days. They are just laying wires. Those educated people laid off from telephony companies can get jobs at those VoIP companies or IP-support companies because the demand on IP software and networks would have increased greatly. Great news!:)
Correlation is not causation. Maybe chemists are less likely to smoke than the general population? Maybe chemists are less like to get STDs than the general population?;-)

What Linux version are you running? If it's 241 days old, then it is probably missing quite a few kernel security fixes.
Just wait until your cash has RFIDs. The EU is already planning this for the Euro.
William Beaty studies traffic for a hobby. He created some "traffic experiments" and describes his results and theories in "TRAFFIC WAVES: SOMETIMES ONE DRIVER CAN VASTLY IMPROVE TRAFFIC". It's pretty interesting stuff.
"think about what you would smell like coming home from sweating 9-10 hours a day working in sewage. EVERYDAY!"
Yep. Good thing a vast majority of plumbers do not experience what you are talking about.
yeah, but some of my office co-workers do!

I am coding drunk.
I am about to check in.
Hope I don't fuck up.
I am drunk. I am still at work. I am still coding. I'm about to check in. Please wish me luck!
Do you think those Charlie Murphy stories are true? They are almost too hilarious to be real..

maybe their mobile news web site will be news.com.com.mobile?
People are already racing to register goatse.mob.
damn, do they check that you wear clean underpants every morning? Who cares if you wear headphones if you are productive?

Maybe Mars was Eden and Adam and Eve were exiled to Earth and Eden was destroyed?
If he really wanted to be a parent, he could adopt a human. Dogs are cheaper and easier to care for and more fun than human babies.

Thalidomide is also being used to fight cancer. Thalidomide sales in the US topped $100 million last year.
