    The poor and uneducated people where I live still manage to drive around in their Mercedes and BMW's.

    walked right up to me and said "You're sexy."

    We both have really fantastic jobs, but ...

    The jobs aren't that fantastic if it doesn't pay you enough to live where and how you want.

    So, move and add 3 hours of commuting to the day, at the end of which I still have to find parking, or make it 4.5 hours on the bus. Great Idea

  7. Re:Solution seems obvious then on Someone Is Trying to Sell Those Stolen Three-Screen Razer Laptops in China (geek.com) · · Score: 1

    The 150,000 yuan is only $22K US. It's a scam or fake news.

    But tell people they can't text or make phone calls of a personal nature while on the employer's clock and they go hysterical.

  14. Re:Reasonable expectations. on Ruby on Rails Creator Supports After-Work Email Bans (signalvnoise.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you have no problem conducting personal phone calls, texting, personal emailing and maybe some Amazon while on the clock THEIR though. Even though that is THEIR time and THEIR money at that point.

    Except that it's not a straight-up comparison between the employee and the machine. When the machine doesn't make fries, it's idle. When the employee doesn't make fries, they're cleaning, etc.

    Go use a fast-food restroom and check its' cleanliness.
    While there, notice that it takes 2 minutes to get hot water to wash your hands, which means none of the employees has actually used any hot water recently to wash their hands...

    If the NSA can do it, it would probably not be allowed as evidence in court. If the FBI did it, maybe it would.

    Can we get the data for years 10,000 BC to 1848 as well please? I'd like to check against those numbers.

  21. Obviously not true on FBI Alleges Security Researcher Tampered With a Plane's Flight Control Systems · · Score: 1

    The day after the "shoe bomber" tried to down a plane, we were all removing our shoes at the airport.

    If it was actually possible to control critical plane functions via an ethernet jack under the seat, all electronic devices would be prohibited on board until further notice.
    You can still get on board with a laptop and ethernet cable, so we know it's not actually possible to do what the guy and FBI seem to be claiming.
