    Linus Tarvoldo!
    Yes, all magic incantations end in "o", but you must put a semicolon at the end for it to work... unless its vbscript.

    I was thinking, with all the "drug wars" going on in Mexico, visiting there may be the end of the world for some people.
    A Y2K bunker, Cuban Missile Crisis bunker, or hole in the ground would be safer.

  3. Re:Dumb ass on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 1

    As eloquently as stated by the AC, you are going to have to give up your work without compensation.
    Now you may be able to trick your employer into giving you the Copyrights, but that would be the limit.
    If you need previous case history, just look at snap-on. A guy worked in his garage to invent the "snap-on" dynamic.
    However, he was salary, and he was working on something specifically for work. Therefore, the company owned said invention.

    Agreed, i too was surprised by their accountability and resolution process.
    I also liked that they warned users to change passwords elsewhere. It tells me they are concerned for their users.

  9. Re:Queue the screams of hysteria on The Fjord-Cooled Data Center · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I wonder if someone would calculate how much power/heat would be needed to raise the temperature enough to affect it.
    I would be more worried about the marine life being affected more than the heat generated.
    And speaking of marine life, remember how environmentalists were worried about such things as salmon and dams?
    Remember how environmentalists are worried about eroding soil and hurricanes?
    You know what... look at the history of what "environmentalists" have saved us from, and then come back and say something.
    If it wasnt for them, we would be drinking firewater(literal firewater), sucking in coal ash, and dealing with randomly placed toxins.

    You presume too much about me with your statements.
    I know about the trials and tribulations of the communities when HIV was found out and pointed out as being "god's punishment" by those whom are uncaring and hateful.
    But such hate and ignorance doesnt mean I cant joke about the hate or ignorance.
    If anything, it points out our history... much like blackface, hooded cloaks, and hitler of which you see many jokes making fun of these topics.

    I am going to get a little mean here, but if a company is doing this they are looking to outsource you because they dont understand.

    I laughed, because its true.

    I have ignored bugs, not because it doesnt need to be addressed, but because it is low priority.
