Not his own personal company; he was a Revere Group employee. At one point in the narrative one IT minion discusses how he went to the CIO's Revere Group superiors. When they outsourced IT they outsourced the CIO position along with it.
Actually, probably not. That's the beauty of this. Shooting gas at a satellite might cause some orbit degradation, but it'd be tough to do something really nasty to it. This only works against small pieces of debris, much smaller than any satellite. Which has, incidentally, always been the most worrying aspect of orbital debris.
The majority of calories burned each day whether you are an exercise nut or a couch potato is spent while sleeping and otherwise just living.
100% wrong. On average, a 75-kg body burns 75 kilocalories an hour just sitting. Walking at 6 km/hr burns 375 kilocalories an hour. Biking at 20 km/hr burns *600 kilocalories an hour*.
There have been numerous studies of motorcycle accidents that prove helmets save lives.
1) The numbers for motorcycles are probably different; their higher speeds likely mean helmets save more lives for them.
2) Nobody's denying that helmets can save lives directly. What's being argued is that the secondary effects outweight it--the people it discourages from riding suffer more deaths from lack of exercise than the helmets save.
Or it might be simply that the men have the possibility of appearing sexist more to the fore of their thoughts and thus move to higher salaries for women applicants to avoid it.
Users are even expected to open a web browser and navigated to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ to view installed extensions. Seriously. WTF.
I have to have a connection to the public internet in order to *see my local machine's configuration?* That can't be right. Somebody tell me that's not right.
If the recipe calls for 3 eggs, two scrambled and one sunny side up, and cook A already done one egg scrambled, he better let cook B and cook C know what he has accomplished. That's where version control comes in.
Aaaaand you've now convinced your manager that version control has something to do with cooking eggs.
You know, I was reading an article where it stated that socialised medicine would cost *less* than what what it costs to run Medicaid and Medicare (on a per person basis)
You mean, like all the articles that said it would cost less to switch to electronic records?
I believe your analysis is misleading. The density of the ice does not affect the change as long as the ice is less dense than the water and is free-floating. Only the density of the freshwater melt matters. The melt raises the ocean level 2.5% of what the whole of the ice on land melting into the ocean would raise; the amount of the free-floating ice above the water is irrelevant. You can calculate the expansion in terms of what ice is above the water when you know the ice's density (which you did), but changes in ice's density do not change the actual expansion as long as the ice floats.
Um, no. You've just shown you don't understand buoyancy. A given piece of ice, when it melts, *will take up only as much space as the part of the ice that was underneath the water.* Ice floats because a volume of ice weighs less than the same volume of water. It only displaces in water the volume of its weight in water, and so it floats. And therefore, when it melts, it shrinks exactly enough that the water doesn't rise an inch.

But that's just it: It *is* required. You can't turn it off.

You have to click the top of the desktop three inches from the left corner. The tutorial *explained* that to you!
That worked great--if you had a connection to the Internet. In Slackware's heyday, not a lot of people did.
Slackware --> Debian --> Ubuntu (sometimes)

The difference between the density of saltware and freshwater is only 2.5%. The level rise would be miniscule; probably not even detectable.
