"Successful geeks have really hot wives (with possibly no intellect whatsoever) -- so perhaps science accounts for success and rewards success and punishes failure?"
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!
Successful geeks have hot wives because those "hot wives" are predators and the geek is their prey.

The New Boom

· Score: 2, Informative
I remember when Wired reported on this back in the late 90's. They referred to the past few years and next few years as "The Long Boom".
I don't think it (the economy) was referred to a bubble until after it had burst.

Helping me read my email, get weather reports, stocks quotes, mapping the human genome, curing cancer, etc, etc. Then I remember such memorable quotes from the TERMINATOR such as:
Kyle Reese: Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Kyle Reese: You still don't get it, do you? He'll find her. That's what he does. That's all he does! You can't stop him. He'll wade through you, reach down her throat, and pull her fucking heart out.
[At a gun store]
The Terminator: The.45 Long Slide, with laser sighting.
Pawn Shop Clerk: These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else?
The Terminator: Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range.
Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal.
[the Terminator is loading a rifle in the shop]
Pawn Shop Clerk: You can't do that.
The Terminator: Wrong.
So who's with me? We need to go take out these companies like iRobot - before their Roombas take over the world. And while we're at it, lets get USR - U.S. Robotics, before they actually start making robots. Cyberdyne Technology needs to go too before they offer us SkyNet. Who's got the C4?
I work in IT Production Support for one of the largest drug retailers. We have over 5,000 servers installed at our locations. They are predominately installed with Seagates.
Probably not, unless it involves levitation, vehicles that "fall up", transporters, or warp drive. We are sufficiently immersed into technology right now that any new technology won't be that incongruent to what we already know.
The days of your great grandmother being afraid of the telephone, I think, are past us.
Did you actually read the the arstechnica review? They did do a "sitting on iPod Nano, whilst in back pants pocket test". It passed with flying colors.
"Fortunately for me I bust my ass and provide a lot of value to the company I work for. I know for sure that if things were downsized, there are several more people in line ahead of me who would be cut."
Yeah, I thought like you do back in 2001. Wham, my UNIX Sys Admin position got outsourced. They hired three people to do all of my jobs at 1/3 the pay. go figure.
Just in case anybody is wondering: I am working again at about 3/4 what I was making in 2001. Ouch! That hurts!
Screw sniping the civilians in Mercanaries. The best is sniping friendly and enemy helicopter pilots. Done just right, and you got a shiny new helo to go on missions with.

Don't email them new password. Have them use the new and improved password changer - fdisk. :P
That's ok with me. I block all AOL email anyway.

That's Wendy's.
I would say it would be comparable to a Swiss Army knife. But that would be giving M$ too much credit and giving Swiss Army knives a bad name.
It's called "pR0n".

That LCD would suck. No, really.

I used to work at Norwest Banks in the 90's, they were predominately Sun back then.

Does any have a mirror for these photos? I think livejournal has been /.'ed.

Or maybe: viPod?
Its sooooooo obvious, I'm surprise no one has thought of it. The son of iPod will be called:
vPod - for Video Pod.
Duh.
