Too true. Between '98 and 2003, my (large international) company went from calling the travel office for places to stay in someplace you've never been to, to "so which hotel do you want us to make reservations for?" They were only there so the company could get the discounts; you had to do all the legwork. Same with flights. As long as you didn't pick 1st class, they didn't even check if your route was $10 or $1200 (depending on the airports used). They didn't care, so I didn't care, so I took what was the easiest route for me. Often cost much more. Sorry, but I have a job to do, and I don't get paid to spend 4 hours optimizing my air travel costs.
Except you didn't provide any good/valuable knowledge yourself. Using the words "obvious," "trolls," and a variety of derogatory terms over and over again do not make good posts.
It would suck if it was the Japanese version of "John Smith." Typing my name ends up with "megacool," "sex master," "ninja," and "cyborg hibachi chef." That reminds me... I should take down those websites before I look for a new job...
I randomly disable and enable my FB account. Drives people nuts. And if someone wants a password for a deactivated account, more power to them. I'd like to see them try and force me to open an account. "We won't hire you unless you have a FB account." Yeah, nothing illegal there, bucko.
Also someone who only approves of hobbies that satisfy his sensibilities. How dare this 16-year-old not go out and buy a breadboard with a bunch of simple TI chips and FPGAs to built a Cray. Madness!
Pennsylvania is a lot like this. All liquor stores are state owned, so of course the prices are way higher than NJ or Delaware. During the holidays, the state troopers stake out the borders looking for people that cross over the border just to buy booze and bust them on the way back. You'd think the Quakers were still in charge here.
Mr. Cranky Pants. There's no reason to keep going back to the peak of Everest, either. It's his money & his life, and if finds a new monster, he can call it Cameronzilla, and wouldn't you be all jealous that you don't have a supermonster named after you? Who knows, maybe he will find something interesting. Slim chances, but we never really expected to find life in/on/around undersea volcanic vents, either. Cheers!
"If that dewar contains more than three ounces of liquid, though, you'd better touch your toes and think of Freedom while I get the exam glove." Why would I be touching my toes while you are getting rectally probed? Is this like a wrestling tag team match?
Who says you have to continually host it? Pull out the archive drives and store them. Still costs some money, but how many TBs could you stuff into a moderately sized broom closet? Besides, knowledge is power, and when you know more about them than they know about you...
For the Prez, about 1 year or so. If you include all Fed elections, maybe 6 months. Once you add in state stuff, might be 3 months. Kind of depressing, actually.

I guess you didn't hear about the kid in Florida walking home that was shot to death? Look up Trayvon Martin.
Gaia got sick of her kid living in the basement and kicked him/her (does the moon have a gender?) out. But only to the backyard.
It's a battle station!
This is why you don't work in HR- you have common sense and a work ethic.
Sure America is special. Short Bus Special.

Then I took a space arrow to the knee.
Witnesses are not sure if it is due to Venus or Uranus. Mars had no comment.
Thank you, you beat me to it.
And the "Tron" game I remember had a few other games, to boot.
Cool project, bad naming.
It's not perfect for all people. Who woulda thunk it?
Because we want to sell really expensive shit to the same people.
Seriously, there is dick level and then there is DICK level.
and drive with my feet on the wheel. (I have a pet monkey push the pedals)

Replication costs are slightly higher due to tighter standards, but the process is basically the same.

Yes, everything is always cheap when you are not the one buying it. Go hook up cyber with a few dozen TBs for him.
They're digitized and stored forever. You think they toss fingerprints?
