    It's DOD work, but you might check L3, up by the 5/805 junction -- I don't know if they're hiring, though...

  5. I had one guy who had unbelievable chutzpah on Want 30 Job Offers a Month? It's Not As Great As You Think · · Score: 1

    This asshole cold-called me... AT THE OFFICE.... When I don't have a direct line, and he had to go through the front desk to get to me.

    I told him to never call me again.

    Apparently, the asshole was scraping LinkedIn, because the next day, he called about 90% of the office. You'd have thought he'd have got a clue when the secretary started hanging up on him.

    It was his Scottish eccentricity. He was supposed to be from the University of Edinborough.

    And besides, going back to TFS... How could it be patented in 1980? We all know that it wasn't "discovered" until 1986.

  10. Re:How you drive: on The Engineer's Lament -- Prioritizing Car Safety Issues · · Score: 4, Informative

    If someone has a BAC of 1.0, they're probably dead, so I'd be very surprised to see them driving...

    On the other hand, I would agree with your argument for .10 BAC

    ESPN is great if

    1. You're a fan of the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox

  12. Re:Who can forget the Z8000's on When Exxon Wanted To Be a Personal Computing Revolutionary · · Score: 1

    I worked with one of those for about 5 years. Loved it.

    We were developing an artillery control system and used a Z8000 as the CPU. We did development on the S8000 under ZEUS.

    The Z8000 was really a nice chip. Much nicer than the 286.

  13. Re:the lips acquire stains on Using Adderall In the Office To Get Ahead · · Score: 1

    No, I remember that Thufir drank the stuff, and the red lips were a trademark of the Mentat.

    However, in the book, they drank it because they *BELIEVED* it helped (placebo effect). It was never explicitly stated that it did help.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  24. Re: mode of death on Being Overweight Reduces Dementia Risk · · Score: 1

    "... and *OTHER* neurodegenerative ..." (emphasis mine)

    Have you ever seen someone die from ALS? It's sort of a "reverse Alzheimer's". The body shuts down, while the victim remains mentally aware, trapped inside her own body, knowing what is happening to her.

    Remember, Alzheimer's and Dementia are not the only neurodegenerative disease.

    Or in other words..... CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION.
