  1. Re:In the UK on Did Your Ex-ISP Purge Your Personal Data? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Couldn't one also come up with a good reason? What about keeping previous customers informed of services which could draw then back? Or ease of reinstating an account for a returning customer? What happens if I purge all data on an account that went deliquent and I never want that person again to receive any service? How do I make sure that same person doesn't come back a few months later and tries to get service again? If I've purged the info, I have no easy way to check out if this is that banned user.

  2. Re:Oooh! Oooh! I know! I know! on Alternatives to Cars? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know about that, I know in my day I used to walk in 3 feet of snow/rain/100 degree heat to work...uphill both ways. It was tough, but we survived.

  3. Re:"Women tend to cause these fires" - Urban Legen on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 1

    I'd worry less about women and more about comedians and musicians, notably Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor and any member of Great White.

  4. Re:Could You Choose Beta Release Medicine? on Cure for Cancer? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, but I let you test it and it kills you, your family will sue me for not only every penny I own, but every penny I would ever make plus infinity.

  5. Scrabble on Cryptic Code Stumps Experts · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for it to become an acceptable term for something totally unsolvable. I'd make a killing on a triple word score in Scrabble.

  6. In reverse on Privacy in the Woods? · · Score: 1

    Would what also be great is if it also worked in reverse. As one passed it updated some device that I'm carrying. If I get lost, instead of hugging a tree, I could use the device to take me to the nearest sensor. Although, if I had the money for something like this, I'd probably have a GPS anyway, which would make the whole idea moot.

  7. Commercial on Directed Sound · · Score: 1

    Guy turning around in circles, "Can you hear me now?"

  8. My advice to you is...start drinking heavily on Computers/Keyboards + Dorm Room = No Zzzzzz? · · Score: 1

    I thought that was one of the main activities in College anyway. "Nothing's over! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?!"

  9. Re:It escaped!! on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    And they turned off the radio because some study claims that it contributes to 80% of accidents.

  10. Re:AN/MSQ-114 Sat Control Terminal on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    Put up a similiar system in Graf, up to my nuts in snow while some moron screwed with the the oil/gas ratio for the pot belly stove, the thing lit up the GP medium like a roman candle. Luckily my name wasn't mentioned in the report of survey.

  11. Re:The time-tested solution for such situations on Sharing IT Problems with Executives? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the absolute worst thing to do. I did this once (who can pass up free booze?) and although I had one hell of a time, I soon found that I was no longer being assigned plum projects.
