  1. Snail mail? on Ask Slashdot: Suitable Phone For a 4-Year Old? · · Score: 1

    Technology is cheap and easily accessible, making it the ideal solution for most of our social interaction problems. No one knows what this real reasons are for not being able to see his kid, but why not write letters, include photos etc, someone should be there to read them to the child and the plus point is that they will have something to treasure from a parent that loves them.

  2. Sign of the times? on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Work Schedule Make You Unproductive? · · Score: 1

    The company I work for stretches devs and testers over multiple projects simultaneously, but still expects on-time and high quality work. The way they sell this to everyone, us and the customers, is to use the word agile and scrum multiple times. Unfortunately this seems to be the norm in Holland at the moment and the only way they pull it off is having a loyal workforce. However the truth of the matter is that slowly-but-surely the good devs and testers move on.

  3. Bad News! on Squirrels Evolving to Suit Global Warming? · · Score: 2, Funny

    For NASDAQ that is, they have been hit twice by those cute furry things. Once in 1987 and then again in 1994.

    In the UK office we still joke about it, much to the annoyance of the management :)

  4. Speed of Light! on Intel Says 10GHz By 2005 · · Score: 1

    What will Intel do when they reach the speed of light? May be they'll have to change the laws of physics otherwise they'll go out of business :) Still the size of their processors by then should be able to create a blackhole.
