  3. Blocked! on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 5, Funny

    Our sysadmin(s) blocked the site! They must not want to be appriciated.

  4. In return for something that I don't want to do. on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Typically, I will fix a friend's or relative's computer for them doing something I don't want to do. An oil change for my car, insulate my garage, watch my kids for a night.

  5. Re:Does this take into account slowing down? on Solar Super-Sail Could Reach Mars in a Month · · Score: 1

    How does one stop/slow down a sailboat? I would have to imagine that by positioning the sails at a certain angle to the wind can slow down the ship. Granted, a sail boat is working in a substance more dense than the vacuum of space and would eventually slow down without the push of the wind.

    Develop a space elevator, ride it on up, and fix the damn thing.

  8. Re:Seems Unlikely on The Worst Jobs in Science: The Sequel · · Score: 1

    Maybe it meant that each of the scientists who study anal warts has a 10% lifetime risk of contracting them. I took the definition of "us" to be the scientists.

  9. Is wireless an option? on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    How far out of Ann Arbor? I live in Ovid and get wireless access from this company:

    This is a decent alternative for rural customers. There may be something similar available south of here.
