  1. If a bus passed by my place I would take it for free. I would even pay. But I am a rural kind of guy, so I drive.

  2. Re:Five is plenty on Short Sleepers Might Be Benefiting From a DNA Mutation · · Score: 2

    The Palm sisters?

  3. Re:A long time coming... on China's Stock Crash: $3.5 Trillion Wiped Out, $2.6 Trillion Frozen · · Score: 1

    That's the thing about extremes. No matter how opposite they may seem, like a piece of string they bend and end up meeting at the same place, in politics and economics.

    and you could even get a Canadian VPN just based in another province. This stuff is so lame.

  5. Re:Like whizzing in the ocean on The Underfunded, Disorganized Plan To Save Earth From the Next Giant Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Right! Duh....missed your context there. :-)

  6. Re:Greece has one huge industry: Tourism on Greek Financial Crisis Is an Opportunity For Bitcoin · · Score: 2

    As someone who has been to Greece I can say that they were very pleasant hosts and a wonderful people. I am not only talking about the ones working in the tourism industry. Regular citizens in general were very welcoming.

    Is that a risk? Digging back to grade 4 science here, but isn't that supposed to happen in a few billion years or so?

    At which point you can upload a copy of your thoughts and live forever. Maybe this is how we find immortality.

  9. Re:I say you (plural) have already failed on Ask Slashdot: How To Turn an Email Stash Into Knowledge For My Successor? · · Score: 1

    git is awesome for documentation. I do this.

  10. Huge respect for you sir. This is how an IT professional behaves. Since it is Outlook I would just throw it all into a pst to preserve the information. Put it on a USB stick and give it to your current boss. Even if he doesn't understand or see the value in it now he will one day. Do not leave the building with the USB stick as it is all company information anyway. You could even send them a signed email from your personal email account on what you have provided them and why and how to reach you should they need anything in the future. I think the comments on consulting are fair game at that point.

    A professional never leaves the old shop high and dry.

  11. Re:The 90's all over again... on You'll Totally Believe Why These Startups Failed · · Score: 1

    Why can't you do it? Life commitments? I know when I was single with no kids I would be ok living out of a storage locker if I had to. But today, it's not only a matter of can or can't but also wanting it. Life perspectives have changed for me and it is impossible to be totally selfish and make other sacrifice a pretty good life. No regrets either way.

    Hope you get a chance to develop your idea. Cheers.

  12. Re:Thanks, but life is too short. on Building Hospitable Open Source Communities (Video) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Seriously, get help.

  13. Re:The same skills everyone else needs, IMO .... on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Skills Do HS Students Need To Know Now? · · Score: 1

    Check out reddit and the types of questions you get in Linux and Programming related subreddits. Simple google searches would eliminate the need for about 90% of the posts.

  14. Up Yours Microsoft and Apple! on Microsoft To Teachers: Using Pens and Paper Not Fair To Students · · Score: 1

    No conflict of interest here. Nope, no sireeee.

    We called it failure at OSI level 8.

  16. War Amps tag on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Keychain? · · Score: 1

    Key, starter and WarAmps tag. If you lose them someone can put them in a mailbox and The WarAmps will get them back to you. Save my butt twice.

  17. Does your house need them? on Will Robot Cars Need Windows? · · Score: 1

    No, but who would want to live in it. Why would you want to drive around in a coffin.

  18. I am pretty sure they will run on Linux on Will Robot Cars Need Windows? · · Score: 1

    But you can always install windows on them if that is what you want.

    It's not their DNA being rewired. They would pass down the same genetic material that their parents passed onto them.

  20. Expert Users? on Is IT Work Getting More Stressful, Or Is It the Millennials? · · Score: 1

    Give me a break. They have a high percentage of clueless users like any other generation.

    I agree with you and is the reason I didn't purchase the propane generator. Seemed like trying to solve one headache by inducing another. This, however shows promise.

  22. Re:Gamechanger on Tesla Announces Home Battery System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I priced out a backup propane generator as a backup for my home that cost about the same thing. Never went with it. This could provide a home with good backup power in case of outage. (keep the sump pump or the furnace going anyway)

    This is so true, we have tonnes of them. I would say HP and DELL both sell a heck of a lot of notebooks and servers.
