I figured kittens from Japan could serve a dual role of source and provider (of neutrons) here, but when I googled "Japanese kittens" the prices I saw were around $2000/hour.
I think that any civilization on that planet would logically deduce that life and intelligence can only exist in solar systems with closely-orbiting binaries.
Not strictly true. Couple of alternatives that could completely or partially remediate after the fact.
Partial - static archive copies (e.g., tape)
Complete - those data tracking systems that note all changes to blocks and let you restore back to a point in time.
Not 100%, since nothing it, but you can get as close to 100% as you care to pay for.
"There's no magic. All we're seeing is stupid people getting burned because they didn't use basic due diligence."
Due diligence becomes attenuated and more difficult to successfully apply. I'm sure the victims heard the same tales of massive backend redundancy that I'm currently hearing from cloud vendors. It's natural that a smaller portion of customers will successfully complete due diligence in a case like this versus for systems under their own control.
Note that this isn't a good excuse (based on the results in this case....).
I just went to my McAfee account and used the forgot password link. Either my password was stored unencrypted or it is one of those rare words that hashes to itself.

Good design. They are pretty much simultaneous to the intended "user" of the lightning.
We're all DOOMED!

"Litter"ature or "liter"ture?
Surely the SF community and authors can devise a suitable vengeance!
True. Most of the time when you 'hold up' an employer (whether or not maliciously) you end up gone within the year.
Aaaaarrrrgggghhh!!! Satan!

Oops, posted too soon without reading the previous posts about milk, etc. Now, kittens AND milk could be the way to go.
Can't you infuse it with milk from Japan?

If he wants you to cut back on programming hours then that's his choice.
Healthcare, economy all mere distractions until he can get his hands on a Death Ray. Following in the steps of Ronald Ray-gun?

Too bad it's WD - hope these don't have the huge failure rate (2 of 19) that our last bunches have been having.

Close. Hackers know better than to use IE for all the obvious reasons nobody else should use it.

We'll miss Vista kind of like the latenight comedians miss having Clinton in office - and for the same reasons.
File a patent disclosure, I believe that gives you 1 year to file a patent. Consult somebody who knows more than me your mileage may vary.

Whoa! Does this mean if I send them some money my O/S will start running better?
