  1. Learn to use your boss on Unlock Internet or Risk Losing Staff? · · Score: 1
    I looked at the error logs, ran some diagnostics and looked up some error codes, had the problem isolated in 10 minutes, but ended up getting written up for "using the internet" on company time.
    This is what your manager is for. Tell him what resources your need to do your job (Internet access), and tell him to go get it for you. One of the most important parts of his job is to make sure you have what you need to do your job.

    Some people really don't know how to "manage up."

  2. Sounds like you need to find yourself on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you need to find yourself a lesbian dermitologist.

  3. Re:War on Drugs or War on Sufferers? on Morphine Relief Without Addiction? · · Score: 1
    Yeah, it has definitely changed. After my wife gave birth, the nurses were giving her percocets like they were candy and sent her home with a bottle of them.

    I think that in certain medical fields, there is a recognition that they are going to prescribe a lot of pain medication. Really, it's more important to go after the ophthalmologist writing Oxy scripts for people he's never treated.

  4. Re:Might have something to do with the cops lying. on Wiretapping Charges Dropped · · Score: 1
    I think I can better serve our rights by allowing a search and then, after being let go because they didn't find anything, filing a complaint about the unecessary, and rights infringing implications of not allowing the search.
    File a complaint about what? You invited the cop to search you, and he searched you. Your rights were never violated.

    On the other hand, had you refused the search, and the cop searched anyway, then your rights would have been violated, and you could attempt to pursue some type of remedy.

  5. Two things on Pirate Party Launches Commercial Darknet · · Score: 1
    Two things:
    1. Use Google checkout instead of paypal. They give you credit toward CC processing for the money you spend on AdWords
    2. You should link to your product in your slashdot sig and homepage. Free advertising.
  6. With apologies to "Coming To America" on The M.S. Degree vs. Everything Else? · · Score: 1
    Sorry, but your post really reminded me of the following quote:
    Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. And pretty soon, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in!
  7. If you asked me such a lame question on The M.S. Degree vs. Everything Else? · · Score: 1
    If you asked me such a lame question, I'd probably give you a blank stare as well. But the blank stare would be me wondering if I accidentally wandered into the wrong conference room and I was mistakenly interviewing for the "high-school intern" position.

    If I were interviewing you and I held up 3 pencils and asked you how many pencils I was holding up, would you be able to stammer out the word, "three"? Or would your jaw have dropped too far through the floor at the prospect of getting asked that?
