First, we can't blame/. for the current = power statement. That came directly from TFA. Second, although I know that/. readers love nothing better than to find fault in others, I assume that what was meant was that the amperage generated was four times that of the total current of all electrical power generated on earth.
N.B. the article is a news release, not a scientific report.
Are you saying that you aren't sure if he is a person with great skills who speaks English, or that you aren't sure if he is skilled in the use of the English language? Your sentence was a little awkwardly worded.
I gotta admit I'm not a particular fan of HP, but in my experience they do have at least one strength - their stuff seems to be physically tough. From calculators up, if you drop most brands you just grab the broom to sweep up the pieces. HP, you grab a trowel to fix the dent in the floor and pick up your still-functioning consumer electronics.
Basically, looking at paper you are looking at a surface that is reflecting ambient light. When you are looking into a computer display you are looking into something that is generating its own light. Effectively you are staring into a light bulb, and the more ambient light there is in the room around you, the brighter that light bulb has to be.
Don't be too sure. The article doesn't specify the dates of the complaint and the employee's termination. It could have gone like this:
Employer calls employee into office
Employer: "We found that you are only working 3 hours a day and spending the other 5 hours per day posting sarcastic remarks on SlashDot. Clean out your desk."
(ex)Employee: "How did you find out?"
Employer: "We had a key stroke logger on your PC."
(ex)Employee: "That's illegal - you'll hear from my lawyer!
FWIW, in your original post, you demonstrated what you consider if not exactly malicious behavior, surely undesirable behavior, by posting a link that actually did the bad thing. I was using Firefox at the time, and so did not even see a warning message, but next time you want to do something like that, please include a brief message explaining that the link runs such code.
I realize the www can be a wild, dangerous place, and I don't think there was any ill intention on your part, but I would like to believe that/. posters are not putting land mines in their posts.

Ah, but then the redundancy is dark and stormy.
e.e. cummings pulled off the same comparison rather nicely in his poem "She Being Brand" - he just did it with style.
Haven't you ever been out in the woods on a bright moonlit night?

Finally, wuffie!

byte-ing your fingernails?

Your post doesn't take into account that when you are hunting, the deer haven't laid an ambush out for you, nor are they shooting at you.
Getting to kiss CatWoman....Priceless
Actually, they were only relatives because of Anakin's mom's marriage after Anakin left Tattooine.
Funny post. Especially because you misued the word "indigenous."
You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means....
In the future, all calls from telemarketers will sound like hot babes. All calls from my boss will sound like Mr. Burns.
