    Facilities maintenance decided to place a web cam on top of the building so anyone could "check the weather."
    We have a somewhat lower-tech solution to that - it's called a "door" or a "window".

    "FBI officials also said at the meeting that some bureau employees have already been granted immunity from prosecution in the investigation." If this is true, I honestly don't know what to say anymore.
    Well, they didn't say why, did they? It could be something as innocent as providing immunity in exchange for information on a bigger fish.

  9. Re:Planting? on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 1

    Mars will never be habitable for us earthlings to live comfortably. Our bone density would suffer too with a year long round trip and 6 month minimum stay, that's 18 months away from Earth's gravity.
    I'm not a biologist or a physicist or anything, but I think it's a remarkable display of hubris to assert that the technology we have today will not be improved upon at some point in the future.

    I heard the next release will be called some really esoteric Swahili word. It will be pronounced "The boss is a cock", and everyone will wonder why users will be slow to adopt it.

    One of the biggest challenges of being an engineer is realizing when there is a simple solution to your problem - especially when the thing you need was made for another purpose.

    I disagree. I believe that what you have just stated is *the* fundamental attribute of an engineer. It's what seperates us from the retards in accounting - they ask for a shovel, we ask for a hole.

Being lazy is one, being an idiot is one, and just liking to have the freedom that comes with a wireless connection is another.

    Most evolutionary biologists believe that eating meat was what provided the necessary ingredients for humans to be able to develop our brains, language centers, and the other things that make us who we are. This explains why most vegetarians are so fucking stupid.
