That's because your employer is paying to you work. So whatever you do on the company's time belongs to the company. At University, you're paying to go and learn. I would expect to own anything I created while at University.
For the first, I don't drink. Second, I'm one of those guys who has a hard time functioning in crowds. Too much input and I tend to get headaches and migrate to the edges, then out the door and into the cool, dark night. Even when gaming at the local shop (think loads of kids playing Pokemon, Yu-gi-o, Magic, Warcraft, or Ki-ju-do (sp) depending on the day) and I can only handle a couple of hours and only when concentrating on the game in front of me.
And heck, if you want to go that way I could just find a prostitute. It might even be cheaper:)
I'm not sure why the guy would care. My comment reflects my[0] experience dealing with the opposite sex, especially when it comes to sex. It's a long complicated process of wooing and courtship just to get to the point where you have the opportunity for sex, then further complexity in the relationship with more courtship and ritual posturing to again have the opportunity for sex.
Honestly, while I do enjoy sex. It's really a complicated and time intensive process that rarely turns out like I'd like. All things being equal, I'd rather be debugging a tcp session (which has been fun, let me say) or crafting a new function on one of my website projects (very satisfying).[1]

[0] Just to emphasize, this is my experience. Your experience may be totally different. You might have a mind meld with your partner and have glorious, orgasmic sex nightly with no emotional baggage or brain chemistry imbalances. Not everyone is like me, not everyone is like you. [1] Which might explain why I've been divorced twice;)
It's the same issue with smartphones. I have an iPhone. I haven't paid a lot for the apps I have, but I'd still have to rebuy them if I went with an Android even assuming the same apps were available.
I've had my xbox360 since Dec 26, 2011 and had no problems even though I play Rocksmith for an hour or two just about every night and most weekends. I don't play any other games though (I do have Battlefield 2 and Doom 3 but have played both one time I think).
I know I prefer it. Nothing screws up good sex like a second (or more) person.
I do like how you associated not being interested in competing with twitchy 13 year olds with nothing better to do all day with being anti-social. Like being "social" is interacting with someone over the internet. I think you really need to get outside more and be "social" with people and not a disembodied voice over a bluetooth headset.
Did you read the linked blog article? It actually says that it is true. That there is a gap. It might not necessarily be 72 cents but that depends on how such things are measured (they used 23 cents for annual wages but 18 cents if comparing weekly wages).
Final sentence: "The pay gap isn’t a myth, it’s a reality – and it’s our job to fix it."
Honestly, I have both an Android phone provided by work and an iPhone that I bought and the lack of a physical keyboard has driven me to fling both phones across the room more times that I care to admit (and autocorrect can die in a fire). I have two cracks across the face of my iPhone and am reluctant to upgrade to a new phone just because of the frustration of dealing with the lack of a physical keyboard. I used to have a Blackberry and really liked that it had a physical keyboard.
Corsair 750W CMPSU-750TX power supply. In monitoring the system using the UPS software, it never gets much above 200W power usage even when gaming (can't speak to boot up though). I've sent the cards back and they've been returned as not having a problem. I've gone through various driver versions, some of which don't let the system come up at all and I have to downrev using ccleaner and other tools to completely wipe out the ati drivers. This has been happening on XP Pro and then Windows 7. The bluescreen does occur and shows the ati driver as being at fault, not to say it's not blowing chunks because of something else of course.
I recently came into a different system and intend on putting the ATI cards in it to see if it has problems as well. Different motherboard, etc just the video cards to be swapped out.
Anything's possible. It does seem harder to locate a life partner that doesn't resent your hobbies though, especially as hobbies aren't static and interests change.
Still complaining about my AMD cards. The drivers cause the system to bluescreen and boot several times before the system steadies down enough to come up. Once up it seems to be good, although enabling crossfire causes the system to crash and I can't even get into single user mode without opening the box and removing the ribbon cables.
So yea, AMD drivers still suck.
(and you can flamebait it as much as you like, it doesn't change the fact that it does blue screen).
I'm running a physical server in a colo. Unfortunately about 6 months back my server sent a burst of about 5,000 spam messages. I was getting bounce messages on my admin account but with no information as to which account was breached in the bounce message, I'm scrambling about on my system, first shutting down mail, then trying to figure out if I was even sending it or just a victim of a one of the spam tricks. I did see entries in my logs, but I wasn't able to track it down to a specific account. During a second spam run about a month later, being suspicious, I had a copy of all outbound messages being backed up and discovered there was a script someone had uploaded into the root directory of a forum my wife has set up for her hobby. I tracked it down from one of the headers in the spooled messages. I found and killed the script, then did some further work to lock down the directory to keep it from happening again. So far, according to logs, nothing further has gone out.
Unfortunately now I'm on several (dozen?) dns blacklists with no apparent way to get back off. Some will let me query their records (and sure enough I'm in there; I'm not disputing that) but many others just leave it in place based on the bounces I'm getting from pretty much every mail service. So even though I've found the problem and killed it, it seems I can never send e-mail from this IP again.
I've investigated moving to a different ISP but none really give me the control I want (I have full root access to a physical system). And pricewise it's less expensive than a virtual machine at Amazon.
Unfortunately, until the distro is supported on the various agents that are required (Netbackup, OpenView, OpNet, Data Palette for example), we'll have to stick with a tuned Red Hat distro for our virtual environment.
No no, it was an expensive, complicated broom actually. A carpet sweeper was just a couple of rollers that brushed dirt and crumbs up into a receptacle. That's all a vacuum cleaner is really. A powered carpet sweeper. It's more efficient because it sucks up dust and dirt (the smaller stuff) along with the bigger stuff the brushes dislodge from the carpet.

Depending on where you're at of course. Some have the authority to have it done for you and bill you for it.

I didn't even know there was a 4, much less a 5 coming.

Why not, it's the same reasoning. 'gas' from 'gasoline' vs 'petrol' from 'petroleum'. And 'gas' is one syllable vs 'petrol' which is two.

The problem here though is they're just going to clean the lab (killing off any remaining animals) and restart their experiments with new animals.

Really? I haven't had a land-line in my house for... almost 10 years now. I mean, there's a line in the house but there's no phone connected to it.

I do that now with VirtualBox on my Mac. I have Windows XP installed because work has requirements for IE.

Debian distros aren't supported for the agents we require in production environment.
