I love how the "sweatshirt" has been remarketed as the "hoodie".
Kaczynski wore a sweatshirt, not a hoodie. Sweatshirts are for psychopaths. Hoodies are for mall rats. Like I was saying sweatshirt/hoodie, psychopath/mall rat. The difference is but nomenclature.
There's a nice article up on Bloomberg Professional (thus unlinkable) this morning titled "SCO's McBride Carries Gun, Faces Death Threats in Linux Battle". Among other things, the article claims McBride is "more hated" than Bill. The article makes mention of/. and the posting here of McBride's unlisted phone number. McBride wouldn't specify what type of firearm he carries, but says it is licensed. Apparently he went to Brigham Young and was/is a member of the the Latter-day Saints, so I'll bet he can hit what he aims at. Yikes!
Ah. Mea culpa. I have a legacy US Worst account and hadn't looked at their service offerings in about two years. Looks like it's time for a new account, since I doubt they'll simply transit the ISP.
I hope their next step is to get rid of MSN as their manditory DSL ISP. Outlook Express blows and it'd almost be worth switching to Comcast just to not have to use it.
Or, if a meeting is useless, but manditory, bring work. If you read intently, or scribble away on a yellow pad, no one will bother you during a meeting. You can actually get a lot done and then go home early.
They're probably going public so the investors, founders, and employees can sell some of their equity in the business. Public listing makes their ownership both more fungible and more valuable.
I'd guess that the business managers at Google understand what their magical franchise is, and that they'll do anything they can to avoid screwing it up.

In a way, we have that. It's called the Nelson Ratings. To watch is to mod up.
And as you point out, the average American watches total crap.

They don't have to *see* the tinfoil hat; there are tinfoil detectors everywhere. Fortunately Saran Wrap sheilds against tinfoil detection rays.
He's smoking a large doobie, that's how he came up with such a *great* idea.
Have you ever really looked at your hand...?

It's not Timothy's fault; the CIA is feeding him duplicate stories.

I like The Clash too, but I also read, and can use a dictionary (sort of).
>>so I could listen to more radio talk shows
There is something very, very wrong about this.

Well, apparently they could hear just fine at 49k miles.

Yup. Just go the NSA website and download your own copy of Echelon, citizen!
So then they'd have a Ferrari in this life and a Fiat in the afterworld?
Yeah, but Ferrari cars (and the laptop) score high for pulchritude if nothing else.

>> to get laid
I suppose that's one reason to go, but not really the sort I was thinking of.
>> ...it's difficult to make a case for going to a college or university.
College has benefits other than just the occupational and pecuniary.

This would be a great joint-marketing opportunity:
Mindstorm Hubble
You could build it, and then see what happens when you bring it out of high orbit from the top bunk bed.
If they want more funding, NASA can't afford to *look* like wasters.
