I can easily think of 3 states off the top of my head with better roads: California, Colorado, and Texas.
DC highways are not bad, but if you haven't been here in a few years, you might wanna go take a run around the 495 loop and tell me how smooth those highways are.
(Nevermind the constant lane closures for "construction".
but for me, and my company, ludicrous to even consider. Laptops and Desktops and Servers are all throw-away* commodities these days. I have no use for this. But wow, it's pretty.
People don't work in IT for the glory. People rarely do anything for glory.
Man, I feel so bad for you folks who don't receive your fair share of glory. When the phone system died and I resurrected it, the office was LINING up to high five me, offer me beers, bong hits, their sisters, Ferraris, yachts, etc.
Fantastic. Top of the world ma.

Yeah, yellow is pretty much the constant. So, people are typically going "okay, it's a normal day, carry on then". If it's orange (I've flown once during orange) then there's a bit of tension in the air. Makes for a more unpleasant airport experience, but it also tends to make people more aware of their surroundings.
So sure, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. You SHOULD always be aware of what's around you and remain alert. It's not rocket science.
They don't appear to be claiming that they have a biological process that can change the half-life of a Plutonium atom by eating it in a clever way, though the headline-writer may have thought that.
Well, that's the issue. I've been researching this for about 2.4 centuries now and that means I have a pretty good understanding of the process. Now, I don't want to make your head 'asplode, so I'll nutshell it:
The bacteria eat the radioactive materials. The bacteria fart. A LOT. The radioactive material is released into our atmosphere, causing things like acid rain, seasonal allergens to reach all-time high levels, Britney Spears, MLS All-Star games.

those labels make people feel better about themselves. It lets them identify with other people who might be similar to them.
That's it.
I've met a few "Nerds" in my life. They're about as well-rounded as a square.
I miss the days when disputes were settled on the playground after school. *sigh*
Seemed a much simpler time, didn't it?
before the Bush administration gutted the rules and gave Verizon its monopoly back.
I believe you mean AT&T.

I bet most run-of-the-mill users don't know they have the infection and could act upon it if they knew.
I don't know about that. If I were Comcast, I'd probably do the pop-up thing with a link to a website with How-to instructions on virus removal.
Because if you notify the user, a lot of them are going to assume that since you made them aware of it, you have to fix it.
(which is obviously crap, but that's how a lot of people think...at least around these parts anyway. D.C.)
You're wrong on this one.

SLOWDOWN COWBOY, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVEN'T POSTED IN AN HOUR OR SO, WE'RE GONNA SAY IT'S BEEN 18 SECONDS CAUSE YOU MIGHT BE TROLLING OUR SITE! OH NOES!
I haven't gone to college, but when I do, I'll drink Dos Equis.
Stay thirsty my friends.
You're right. Bad day. My bad. Carry on with the shallowness. :)
Wow, your shallowness amazes me. Seriously, grow up.

no, it's perfectly valid. A little ugly, but valid.
this is not off-topic, this is the exact same first thought I had.
I'm not always under electronic surveillance, but when I am, I drink Dos Equis.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Huh?
Raising the floor?
Roasting the fatty?
Retarding the forum?
Rampaging through France?
Regurgitating the fruit?
Reconstituting the fluid?
Raping the flowers?
Help me out here, I'm struggle-ugle-ing*
*thanks, Joe Namath!

I'm waiting for IP version Kevin Bacon.
It's the only way to ensure your packet is going to positively absolutely get from point A to point B in a timely, efficient, and stylish manner.
Keep your stupid IP ver 6. Pffft. It's about as elegant as Lemur poop. IPvKB, on the other hand...now THAT'S a protocol.

The solution, as always, is Beano(R)
Sue company for "an undisclosed sum", then allow them to go ahead and make the movie(s).
LUDICROUS JIBS!
Or:
1) sue movie company
2) profit
3) allow movie company to make said movie(s)
4) profit again.
To hell with the underpants gnomes, this is the true 4 step process right here.
Wow, troll? Me thinks someone needs to actually READ what I wrote.
Yep, nothing says a nice evening home alone like "curling up next to the fire with the kindle"....
Oh wait. I would hate that. I already "read" a screen for 9+ hours a day, why the hell would I want to do it for recreation* as well?
*I'm not in school, any reading I do these days that isn't research is done via paperback.
Udderly Stupid
Moove along, nothing to see here.
