I emailed the founders of Sys Admin day a couple years ago, and asked if helpdesks were included in the appreciation. He said no, maybe we can get our own holiday.
We are the gatekeepers. We're on the front lines, sweating it with our phone headsets and standard issue network access. Meanwhile the big wig admins kick back in their air conditioned servers rooms.
Me: Hello, this is Scott, can I have your membership ID # please?
Customer: *beep boop bop boop* (touchtone sounds)
Me: Hello, this is Scott, can you tell me your ID #?
Customer: *beep boop bop boop*
Me: Hello? I'm not a machine, I'm a person. You can read your ID# out to me.
This ruling was on the very case of the very employee who was fired for playing Solitaire. The headline only mentions web browsing.
And oh yeah, I posted the same article earlier and it got rejected. Plus I posted from a local source.
Most folks don't realize having adware and a 3rd party (non-browser integrated) pop up blocker running at the same time just slow down the system even more.
I hope if the robots will be, for lack of a better term, "anatomically correct". Like, would the thing we see on screen really could fold up into a Volkswagen or a stapler.
Let's not forget scale. I really don't think Soundwave could suddenly fit comfortalbly into someone's jacket pocket (as he often did in the cartoon).
Plus I just want to hear "Oh shit, Grimlock" one more time.

The last photo of the "Mars Face" makes it kinda look like Abe Lincoln to me.
I wouldn't know. I'm in upstate NY. I've had jobs moved to other countries though.

I smell another Monopoly Playmaster.
I promise you, it's 100% authentically true.

Try saying that headline 5 times fast!
I'll bet these vouchers are only good for "approved" digital sets, with DRM and broadcast flag enabled by default, for your "convenience", of course.

I'm curious about your special effects experience...What movie or TV scenes can you point to and say "I made that happen."?
OK, can't warn them. Just block and delete.
Warn them. Block them. Delete them.

That's what Calimari say when they get caught like that.
What, you think the sysadmins have time to fix the PC you haven't rebooted in 3 months, cause all you ever did was turn off the monitor?

Can't I just remove the color cartridge and avoid detection altogether? Or will someone cry it's a DMCA violation?
I print most of my documents in black & white draft mode anyway. The only stuff I print in color are bootleg CD covers. (I keed! I keed!)
I was looking for a list like that to beef up my original post. Thanks.
But I think that's just a setup feature, not an automatic update. There would still be the issue of the VCR automatically adjusting for DST.
I liked it; sounds more graceful, requiring more diligence than just bashing into a network.

Any others?
But if it is real and available, and priced worth it, I'll talk someone else into buying it as a present.
