    How the FUCK was this comment rated funny?
    I guess you were one of the FTC people that didn't get a go with one of the hot coffee chicks.

    No you don't understand. You see, the guys at the FTC were angry because they have never experienced a hot coffee scene themselves. So, Rockstar hired a few hot coffee girls at $11,000 per "item" and sent them over. A few hours later everything is fine.

  3. Re:Just for third world counties? on Working Model of MIT $100 Laptop a Hit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, I agree with you because I grew up in a third world county in South Carolina... ;-)

  4. It's happening again. on Apache down, IIS up · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now it's only a matter of time before the Apache are forced to live within reservations while their former home lands are turned into McDonald's and Best Buy lined freeways all running IIS. Really sad.

    Too bad he wasn't smart enough to put it away in the Cayman Islands or a Swiss account!

    He should have gotten a Nigerian Prince to find someone that can help him hide the money. That's what I would have done.

    I am a software engineer for a defense contracting company and last Fall I began telecommuting. I worked in the local office for about a year before deciding that I don't like living in a city, but that I prefer a rural environment. I talked it over with my boss and he agreed to allow me to work from home. So, we picked up and moved to the country. It has been the best decision I have made (other than to marry my beautiful wife ;-).

    Now, I completely understand the importance of having a life outside of your work because it really does make you much more productive. When I was working at the local office, I didn't have time for a life outside of the office because I was spending 2 hours a day in traffic, 8 hours working, 2 hours at the water cooler talking about crap, and the other 12 hours was "my life."

    Not only do I spend more time with my family, but I also feel that I am much more productive in my profession. Granted, I feel like I have to make more of an attempt at having a social life since I don't see coworkers at the office everyday. So, instead of going to work to meet people, I go to the local gym to workout and play basketball for my social life.

    To keep in touch with my coworkers we use Google Talk. If I need to talk to someone at work, Google Talk offers both IM and VOIP.

    So I guess the "secret to my success" is Google Talk and playing basketball at the local gym, while for some people it is raising sheep on a farm.

  8. Avoid the men, look for the women... on Fortune Magazine Profiles MySQL AB · · Score: 1
    MySQL's Mickos says, "Avoid young men without a wife or girlfriend...

    I bet he looks for young women with a wife or girlfriend instead! At least I would. ;-)
