So the original (incorrect) post is modded at +3, while both mine and the guy saying I'm right are at +2. Thanks, moderators, for fact checking.

Wikipedia says I'm right and OP is wrong.

Nope. The guy they caught wrote a ransom note demanding $$$ to stop poisoning the bottles. He got caught and sent away for extortion. AFAIK they never did charge anyone with the actual murder.

I was 22-23, there was a guy at work 10-15 years older that hated me. Why? I don't know. But I was the kind of guy that anything you threw at me I threw 2x back. When this Tylenol poisoning hit I bought a bottle of Tylenol and put it on his desk. No note, nothing, just the bottle.

I ran into him some 20 years later. He told me he didn't know why he didn't like me and apologized for being an ass. I told him I put the Tylenol bottle on his desk, he said "shit Jim, I knew that as soon as I saw it".

Came here to say this. I was in my early 20s when I first got a 401k. At the time I had no idea what the difference between stocks and bonds were, let alone mutual funds, loads, past performance != future performance, etc. 10 years later I had enough free cash to learn about this stuff, but that's 10 years of poor 401k planning.

Dunno what else he stands for, but he just made a huge "hell ya" in my book. I'm sure I'll find out in the next few days he's a misogynist endangered species farker.

Seriously, dunno what else he stands for but his efforts to let this abomination die wins him major points in my book.

If I stuck a weiner in the beam (not mine, one of Oscar Myers'), how long would it take to cook it?

Any idiot knows to go in the back/side, and smaller items are easier to carry than larger items of equal value.

Back in the 80s my company was designing a new building for us to move into. Management was excited about the idea of a round lab in the middle of the building, with glass walls so everyone could see the engineers at work. Us guys were pretty unhappy with the idea, but the idea wasn't fully torpedoed until a female engineer said "so you don't want us wearing skirts anymore, huh?"

I find it amazing that not only is cable TV a "right", deserved by all, now broadband is also a "right".

90% of the cars on the road are single drivers, whom I really don't want to be "infotained". Especially when it's the drive they do every day while eating an egg mcmuffin and shaving.

The only time I can see this being A Good Thing (tm) is when you and your family fly into a vacation destination, rent a car, and need to drive for an hour or 3 (my typical vacation).

If you can't keep your SO/kids entertained for the typical 20 minute drive, then keep your distracted ass off the road I'm using to get somewhere safely.

when Powerpoint was new (and I was also new), I used PP to both hit the bullet points and prompt me on what to talk about next. I'd read the bullet point and my brain would go to "ok, why foo sucks and bar rocks". Somehow PP morphed into the end all be all of the presentation; see also: the posting of power point files on the internet with no supporting documentation.

Just a minute ago I was reading about trannie mosquitos, now I read the EU wants to protect the average brit's right to fap to trannie mosquito porn.

for one, welcomes our trannie mosquito porn.

Outside of CDMA and OmniTracs. They had digital cinema, MediaFlow, Globalstar, BREW, Miriasol, that deal with Ford 10-15 years back, etc. Outside of Omnitracs (since sold), and their CDMA tech I can't think of any branching out they've succeeded at.
