  3. Physicists? on The Beer Tossing Fridge · · Score: 1

    Considering how well beer opens after being shaken, I'd say this engineer has a limitied understanding of Physics.

  4. Trip to the Zoo on The Coevolution of Lice & Their Hosts · · Score: 1

    There were similarities between our pubic lice and the lice found on gorillas. Sorry, that incident at the zoo was reduced to 'Just following too close.'

    Better yet, label your new INBOX as 'EMPTY'
    Then you can always say, my inbox is EMPTY.

    (probably depends on what the meaning of is is)

  8. Don't Organize on E-Mail Addiction 12-Steps Stumbles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't organize, just file everything in one folder. Use 'Search' to find everything/anything. a massive nest of folder's just gives you more places to have to search.

  9. Hammer Time on Astronaut to Attempt Spacewalk Record · · Score: 2, Insightful

  12. Overrated on The Rise and Fall of Blogs · · Score: 1

    I don't find even the other 2% to be all that interesting.

  13. On the Rise on The Rise and Fall of Blogs · · Score: 1

    I think any estimation of their demise is a little unrealistic, at least as far as serious news and policital blogs are concerned. I run a caption contest, on a voluntary basis, on OTB. Even though my role is more frill than substance, the blog itself contains a lot of serious news and commentary. A couple of others that seem to address a serious role in politics, news, and sometimes entertainment are: Wizbang Poliblog and there are a number of others more popular than these that seem to address politics and news in a more or less serious manner. (Just check some of the links from the ones above for
    Instapundit
    Michelle Malkin
    and others

    A: They can't find the zipper.

    (experiment to see how many males versus females receive moderator points)

  17. This really sucks on You've Got Mail -- Tons Of It · · Score: 1

    I work for one of the Big Three (automotive) that has a policy of deleting email messages after 60 days. (They don't automatically do it, but it is supposed to be self policing). All this does is let the F**king liars win. Numerous times in "corporate" life I've had people tell me that "I didn't get that", "I wasn't informed", "I didn't get that message", usually on messages that are greater than 60 days old. When they and their management get a second copy they usually change their tune. I understand the ability to limit lawsuit liabilities but they sap the energy of their best workers when they let the liars win.

  18. Obviously DWB is at work... on Distributive Worm Blocking · · Score: 1

    ...blocking me from getting all the moderator points I have earned from meta-moderating. (go ahead, mod it down, if you have the points)

  21. Didn't see the web site on A Camaro That Leaves A Wake · · Score: 1

    But I saw it on the news here in Detroit, The pictures don't do it justice to the action footage. If you've got about 150K to blow, why not?

  22. Re:Automatically rechargeable? on Tiny Surveillance Aircraft Fly in Tucson · · Score: 1

    I don't know, I've seen it used a lot in political blogs to censor out letter. I don't think anyone ever meant fook for f**k. anyway the sh*thouse cartoons don't seem to imply 'shot' as the operative word. Anyway why let facts get in the way of humor. (or attempted humor)

  23. Automatically rechargeable? on Tiny Surveillance Aircraft Fly in Tucson · · Score: 1

    Yeah but, can they automatically recharge by finding and eating sh*t?

  24. Ain't life great on Fighting the Forced Ranking of Employees? · · Score: 1

    As soon as you remove 5 of the 100 from the model, you got another 4 employees that you have to rank with at 5, to meet the 5% quota.

    When 'Dickie boy Brown' was CEO of EDS, during the continuing Black Days, He wrote a book that described the process of eliminating (or improving: see eliminating) the bottom 20% or the organization. They called this process thrashing. Only few of the employees ever read the book or understood that this is what it meant as it was all coached under phrasing like employee development.

    Former disgruntled employee looking for a company worthy of my loyalty.
