    And we are in a continual state of war. War against {drugs/immigrants/porn/terrorists/offshore banking havens/....}. Pick one.

    You'd slug a female boss?

    Green engineer -> shiny new hardhat.

    Even engineers who get out in the field once in a while have worn looking hardhats.

    And thus the prophecy is fulfilled.

    12-7pm school? What about the poor teenagers that have to stay up until 4AM? They'll be lucky to squeeze in a decent 8 hours of sleep. Do you really expect every child to get up at the crack of noon?

    Italy. Ah yes. The cradle of Europe's industrial might.

    Don't impose your viewpoints on others. This also applies to wanting the schools to start later to suit the kids who go to bed late.

    Think of it as a lesson for later in life. When the boss says to get your ass in to work by starting time, you do it. Or lose your job.

    I recorded it and listened to it at work the next day. I'm sure many of my cow-orkers were wondering about what it was that I was LMAO.

  9. Re:Don't care ... on US DOJ Say They Don't Need Warrants For E-Mail, Chats · · Score: 1

    Illegally obtained == stolen

    When you vote for your judges (if you do), make sure you ask them during their campaign if they are willing to find police officers and departments guilty of violations of the law. And are willing to sentence them to the same terms as civilians.

  10. I'm not bringing it back ... on Help the OED Find a Lost Book · · Score: 3, Funny

    .... to the library unless someone gives me a break on 150 years of late fees.

  11. Don't care ... on US DOJ Say They Don't Need Warrants For E-Mail, Chats · · Score: 2

    ... what the DoJ says. What does the court say?

    The DoJ is the logical equivalent of the local cops. They are the 'hired muscle' used to bring suspects before the court system for trial and to prosecute them (represent the public's case in criminal trials). They don't make the law. Nor do they apply it to individual cases.

    Of course, the cops are going to claim as much power as they can get away with.

  12. There, there Steve on Ask Slashdot: Why Won't Companies Upgrade Old Software? · · Score: 1

    Don't pout. If you would have done a better job designing Windows 8, perhaps you could have sold even more than 100 million units.

    You show up on a job site with a brand new hard hat and you'll have the crew laughing you right off the job site. You must either be the new apprentice who needs the initiation rites. Or you are an engineer from HQ who has never seen actual construction in real life.

  14. PROTIP on Interview: John McAfee Answers Your Questions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For a disguise, use an old scratched up hardhat.

  15. Headline on The New AI: Where Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Meet · · Score: 1

    At first glance, I read "Where Neuroses and Artificial Intelligence Meet".

    So, are they working on an android named Marvin?

  16. 192.168.*.* on Dissecting RSA's 'Watering Hole' Traffic Snippet · · Score: 2

    There's that subnet again. It keeps popping up in our investigations. Perhaps we need to have the authorities raid it and shut it down. That should clear up a huge nest of miscreants.

  17. Social Order on India Rolls Out Central Monitoring System To Snoop On All Communications · · Score: 1

    That's a buzzword from back in India's socialist days. I guess the free market, democracy talk is just all a bunch of bullshit.

    The earth is 4,500,000,027 years old.

    They told my it was 4.5 billion years old when I took high school geology back in 1986.

    Are you referring to White House Down? That's clearly a work of fiction and bears no relationship to reality. I mean, come on folks. The president in that movie is black.

    Rap is computer generated for the most part, at best someone beats it out on a drum.

    No. Sadly, the drums are usually the first thing to fall before the machine.

  24. 75 MPH? on Why US Mileage Ratings Are So Inaccurate · · Score: 1

    You're kidding, right?

    I wish I could go that fast. Aside from a few trips on open roads, I'm lucky to average about 40 MPH on a freeway commute. And that's the difference between about 14 mpg (at 40 MPH) and 18 mpg (at 80 MPH) for my car.

    Now all we have to do is to spread a rumor that the Google Glass capabilities will be built into baseball caps, enabled when worn backwards.
