When my mom was a kid, she and her friends used to play in the clouds of DDT spray from DDT trucks. It didn't seem to have much of an impact on her, which amazes me since it can't possibly be good to breath it in right??? Though it might explain quite a bit about me....
It is all downhill from here by the way. At least until you hit 40, when it is more of a "plunging off a cliff" aging process; just think of your 30s as the hill before the plunge. I can see the edge of the cliff already.....
... the FTC charged the companies used "false pretenses, fraudulent statements, fraudulent or stolen documents or other misrepresentations, including posing as a customer of a telecommunications carrier to get the phone records.
(Emphasis mine)
So when is the FTC going to charge carriers with improperly handling private information? I hope they don't forget to nail the carriers to the wall for handing out this information in the first place. If they wouldn't just give the information away to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that called without verifiying they are who they say they are, there wouldn't be as much of a problem would there? Some simple ways to avoid giving the information to the wrong person might include calling them back on their cellphone or sending the information to the address that gets the bills. Selling this information is wrong, but the carriers are just as culpable for giving it out without proper verification.
I wish Walmart would start selling self-assembled microwaves for $10. Talk about a quick way to clear out some of the genetic driftwood in this country.
By the way, I have a Entropia bridge for sale. No really I do. It goes up for auction on ebay next week. God P.T. Barnum would have loved this. Next up: ebay auctions for Entropia dollars.
My retirement plan is the "work until I die" plan. Basically I will be spending the second half of my life making up for the poor money decisions of the first half. One upside of this plan is I have no incentive to live terribly long, so I can eat whatever I want. In fact, it kind of encourages me to eat poorly so I don't live too long. If this plan doesn't work out, I will have to go to plan B, the "mooch off my kids until I die" plan.
What is the "fair market value" for a +15 sword of the undead?
That depends on how many vampires you have lurking in your neighborhood. As far as I know I don't have any, but it would probably look really cool over the mantle.
Keep careful track of time spent on working on "non-company" PCs; if your boss wonders why you aren't getting work done, show him the numbers. Hopefully this won't impact your job much, but if it does you should let the pointyheads now how much time this leeches from your day. They are pretty good at understanding "we spent 40% of ellem's salary fixing employee's home computers".
You will find the next phase of the project particularly useful, where you get to write stuff on to user's brains rather than just read it. Won't it be great to program in to their brain next week's downtime so they don't come bug you to ask why the mail server is down while you are working on it?
Now I know which monitor to recommend to that cute neighbor next door. "Sure, I would be happy to help you set up your new monitor and wireless router!" Which reminds me, which wireless router would be the best for streaming video?
Ironically, the last time my boss had problems with Exchange was the day he decided to hire someone to migrate all the services the company cared about to Linux. So in a way using Exchange did lead to a more stable mail system. Yeah for me!
1. Sit at airport with scanner 2. Watch as families enter security to depart on trip to Disneyland or wherever 3. Use list of families now on vacation to compile a list of addresses so you can pilfer their houses
I am sure there are plenty of other ways to abuse this, but this is just the first one that popped into my head.

I am almost afraid to ask, but what field is this again???

It would be a convenient shame if it fell on Iran's nuclear facilities for example.
Actually I just tell people I am almost 30 years and 84 months old; works great for me.

They need to learn from Spiderman; this just can't turn out good.
I just know the issue where they make all the superheroes pile into a giant naked pyramid will be a big hit.

The article doesn't have any pictures; one can be found here.

Ironically they will use the money they ripped off from the artists to defend themselves.
Or maybe they are just planning on migrating services to Linux? Where their announced expenses 5-20% higher than expected?

I bet I would have a harder time convincing my neighbor to buy that for her house, much less get her to let me set it up for her.

It might be useful, since we could stick to whatever layout you are used to now anyway.
So then can we assume this will be the long desired porn-centric distro we have all been waiting for?

I don't think anyone has seen the Token ring since that hobbit lobbed it into the volcano a few years ago.
I will bet anyone any amount they want as long as I get to hold the money until we discover the outcome in a few million years.
