    Hey, what if people started sending the /. editors the endings to all the -new- movies? It might cure them of their spoilerism.

    Tell nicely them you're leaving in two weeks, and they'll likely escort you out NOW. As you are leaving, tell them you are available for two weeks at $200/hr (for any part of an hour) to answer any questions.

    Tell them you need to be paid in adavance.

    Good luck in your new job.

    I worked for a guy who would do this. Once, I got a request for a feature and wrote it in a few hours, I handed him the printout (ah, greenbar paper!) and he put it in his desk and said, "I'll give it to them next week. It makes us look like we're working harder."

    Thanks for listening to my rant. I feel almost better now.

    NDAS is a good solution. Ximeta makes drives with USB 2.0 + Ethernet, (choose one) pretty cheap compared to plain USB/FireWire drives. Plug into your work PC with USB, take it home and use it to fileserve on your enet.

    No, an ARMED ROBBER came into MY HOUSE and BEAT ME WITH A HAMMER, and THEN I shot him, you IDIOT pACifist foreigner. If you have a problem with self-defense, I recommend you get yourself a white flag and wave it vigorously. Then, the criminals will assault you instead of me.

    Damn, I could have shot him in the head if I'd known he had my calculator in his pocket.

    I have that beat.

    An armed robber broke into my house, collected various valuables, put my TI SR-51II calc into his chest pocket, and I shot it with my .45 while trying to end his crime spree.

    Bullet went thru the padded case, bounced off the manual, and into his chest. The calculator was not even dented.

    I should make a jacket of those old TIs.
