Imagine what you'll look like when you're stabbing air with your Wii wand or sneaking around your couch in an attempt to impale some grandma with a digital shard of pipe. One pro of this whole Wii revolution is that all you serial killers out there are going to be well practiced for your big day.
When Manhunt 3 comes out it will come with a sensor laden blow-up doll so you can actually beat the thing up... Wait a second, that's actually a great idea.
First you buy an industrial walk-in deep freezer, you then armour the entire thing with asbestos, about 4 inches of iron, some air space, four more inches of iron, more space, and then 1 inch of 2000 series aluminum for BTU conductivity. You then flood the second space with cooled water being generated on the roof, or the other side of your plant. Heck, you could set your office up in there if you wanted too... Direct technical support. They could shut down the industrial equipment every few weeks to let you out for a walk.
*..** At those temperatures Water cooling systems will burst, unless your using heavy water (what they cool reactors with), air conditioning will be totally ineffective (the equivalent of blowing cool air into your oven), and the only thing a fire safe will do is keep the melted hardware from pooling on the floor.
I agree with a past comment that you're in way over your head. This is the type of issues that hydro engineers and aerospace deal with. Call NASA and see what they come up with.
Finally someone has realized the dangers of school-yard sports...Sigh. I wonder what they'll do when someone chokes to death on a hackey-sack? I'll guess our kids will all be signing waiver forms for hop-scotch and eating with utensils in a couple years.
"Mommy, can you call Betty's Lawyer and see if we can play marbles?"
Sigh, this hits close to home. I hate our IT department:
"I'm sorry, your network won't be ready until we de-fabulate the mother-processors."
"Oh, well... Wow... That sounds complicated."
[...]
"It is."
I proposed that we eject the whole department into deep space, and hire several entertaining animals which would more or less perform the same function. Until then I'll secretly work on my personal laptop at work.
And in hope for us all: Don't quit! Fight the good fight and establish a productive environment!
Well, I guess we had to go somehow. Its only a matter of time before some terrorist programmed super-bot decides to off us all.

I'll do my part now and wish our kind well, we did have a pretty good run. I wonder if Slashdot will be considered historical data to the new robot civilization?

Later.
Played so much Carmageddon I started sizing people up for points when I was driving around.
style + gore x speed = points
You could listen to the soundtrack in the car to, which is really a scary option.
Carmageddon was just released, and I had a beefed up 486 that was up to the task. I installed the game and didn't leave my room for a day.
The only real issue was my drive to work after, I kept on looking at people as I was driving trying to size up how many points they would be worth if I hit them (style + gore factor x speed).
I figured I was in for a cool 10,000 pts. if I powerslided a group of preschoolers over the rail on the highway overpass.
It didn't help that the game had an awesome soundtrack that you could play in the car.
Man, what a great game...
If I were a 'hippy' I would not be defending the tech industry. It seems that missing the obvious point is your forte.
Kudos to ignorance, and the inability to read.
"grow in your own career" also typically means "sell out".
I would like you to elaborate on the term "sell out". Technically anyone who works "for the man" earning a living above board (paying taxes, eating non-organic food) is a sell out. And really, you work to either create a product or provide a service, and for what? For Sales! Low and Behold if you are a functioning individual in this society you are also a "sell out".
"Grow in your own career" can also refer to the earning of respect, and knowledge for what you do.
The only way I would respect any word dropped into your commentary would be if: You were a dirty 'techno-hippie' living in a dark cellar out of Botswana - never having participated in any sort of Western Culture. If not, go eat a pizza pocket, play your video games, wear your Nikes, and reconsider your terminology.
On average every corporately released 'anti'-ware, codec, or encryption tools are cracked within 24 hours of their release. Last year in Poland a 13 year old was arrested for cracking a new DVD encryption within 8 hours of its first sale. This is possible due to the simple fact that the same caliber of people writing the security software makes a living from cracking it. This applies to most smaller pieces of 'Anti-Whatever' code on the market - let alone Windows. Windows is the biggest software target in the world. All this piece of sh.... er software will do is eat RAM and convince our parents that MS made the internet safe once again. Its amazing what a new icon in the lower right hand corner does for for some people:
"Look its blinking, that means our computer is safe!"
Then again I'm not out there programming any 'anti-spyware' tools - so I guess something is better than nothing. At the very least it will kill all the standard spy-ware out there - and thats not bad.

We're all gonna be in jail one day.
Okay, I'll take the bait.
