    Sorry to disagree, but the fact that someone has mod points does give them the right. They aren't _praise points_, after all.

    I'm no expert, but isn't shedding expenses (in the form of employees) a standard way to prepare for a merger? Then you can say, we don't envision eliminating any personnel in the course of this merger....

    Mod parent down. Obvious case of karma whoring.

  10. Rocket launch? on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 1

    I think of Buzz Aldrin setting a busted off circuit breaker with a felt-tip pen that happened to be the right diameter so that Apollo XI could get off the moon.

    My uncle told of a legend where during a launch preparations the computer asked for a cookie. The operator asked his supervisor what to do, and was told to give the computer a cookie. As the legend goes, that worked and they launched the rocket.

  18. Re:Room for improvement. on Looking To Better Engines Instead of Electric Vehicles · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do turbines or rotaries have a place anymore? Once the seals were fixed on the rotary, there was a concern over emissions. Is this an inherent problem or can emissions be reduced if anyone cared to throw some money at the problem?

    ...I just absconded with every stealable asset in the company leaving the company with a massive debt to asset ratio and making the stock completely worthless.

    Rather than use up 26 precious words to describe a hypothetical business disaster, couldn't there be a shorthand using a standard keyword. Let's try it:

    Suppose I'm the CEO of some publicly traded business. And in the news today, we find out that I Zuned. Stability means that the market continues to trade the stock a[t] a considerable price even though everyone knows it's gone. Unstable markets would react quickly to reflect what happened.

  24. Re:Hitting the brakes slows you down. on Rounding the Bases Faster, With Math · · Score: 1

    The article points out that the fielders would make sure to park themselves in the most efficient basepath.

    I will have to watch on television to see if hitters/baserunners ever go outside the outer chalked line that guides the runner outside of the diamond on the way from home plate to first base. It is mandatory that the runner stay outside of the diamond on the second half of this leg except for touching first base, which is inside the diamond. If the first baseman keeps to the inside of the base, there is little chance of a collision with the runner. As has been stated in comments, the runner is free to collide with the other basemen as long as he is heading directly toward the base.

    The kids I played baseball with would never have thought of going outside the outer chalked line even on a sure double, but there seems to be no rule against it.
