Hmm, where I work, you're expected to be working when 8:00 AM hits. That means you have to get in a few minutes early to log into NT, launch the apps you'll need, and so on. I'd say my company owes each of us a few more dollars on our next paycheck!
I am offended by your characterization of "inept co workers." After all the smart people left, we didn't even try to do their work -- we didn't know how! Humph.
Yeah. I know that there isn't any sound in space. I also know that exciting orchestral music doesn't play over everyone's radio during a space battle, either. I try to not let those facts detract from my enjoyment of the film.
The problem for me is when a movie doesn't follow its own rules consistently.
I understand how the Babelfish is supposed to translate among speaking organics, but I don't understand how it translates machine speech or printed text.

Nah, that's easy. I just run "rm -rf /var/*" every morning.
I wish my phone would stop ringing.
...to alt.atheism and alt.fan.furry. You'll start getting spam up the wazzoo, much of it involving putting things up your wazzoo.
Red-somethinged!
I used to, but my "power cord" started bleeding after awhile.
In my case, I doubt it would help. I may have spare cycles, but my HDD is busy pretty constantly during boot.
Leaving the computer on is supposedly easier on the hardware.
Personally, I like running things like updatedb, backups, and my security scanners at night when I'm not likely to be using the machine.

Slashdot was designed?!
No, it's not! See, it's cooler underground....

Why? Just call the object's close() method in a finally block and forget about it.
That's not new. Teenaged girls have been doing this for decades.
Hmm, puncture wounds would cause bleeding....
Check it out! President Dubya reads Slashdot!
I'm impressed! What other techniques do you use to cope with your minute penis?
Why is focus-follows-mouse superior? I mean, in an objective sense.
Remember, though, that the Gnome project is trying to minimize the number of options to improve usability.
Yes, and so are your nails.
It informs people who otherwise may not have been aware of the issue. Besides, the sites weren't closed.
I've begun to think that "9/11" should be added to Godwin's Law, along with Stalin, Saddam Hussein, and Al-Queda.
P.S. Sorry to mention it. My bad.
Given his "I figured out...what pitch to shriek at to emulate commands from the remote", I'd say his parents probably got into the act, too. 8-)
Ah, you mean the radar displays that tell me that, in a 3-second perod, I can accelerate from 27 to 38 to 12 mph? It's a wonder I don't get whiplash!

I think you misplaced your decimal point. Isn't 0.2g greater than the Moon's surface gravity?
the security chief suggests looking cclose to the station for a body, since it would not get far simply being sucked out.)

Not that I really thought about it before now.
