So, think about it more closely. H1-Bs now have your jobs. And are slacking off while working and reading Slashdot. But the April 1st jokes are not funny, and the H1-Bs do not understand them. So, they are not laughing like you used to.

So . . . you win!

I think.

It depends on how long you cook it. Horses ordered "rare" are still a bit bloody inside, "medium" are pink, but "well-done" are greyish.

I'm waiting for Windows 11. Most OSes only go up to 10, but Windows will go up to 11.

Well, now he is saying:

Basketball players
Basketball players basketball players, etc . . .

I am no fan of the NBA, but if it lured Ballmer out of the IT industry, and keeps him out . . . I will love the NBA . . .

It's not a watch. It's a fashion accessory. And nobody who is somebody would be caught dead wearing a $350 version . . . Apple is going after the folks who will dish out $10,000 for a watch: http://www.engadget.com/2015/0...

$350 for a watch? How vulgar and ordinary!

This is an excellent marking tactic. For that price, Apple wants to make sure that you get the feeling that the iWatch is "exclusive". Not every ordinary dweeb can walk into a store and buy one. It's like getting a membership in country club or other exclusive club. You're not just buying a watch . . . you are buying a legacy. That's how the ultra expensive Swiss watchmakers advertise their watches in The Economist.

So, in order to sell it to dumb rich folks, you need to wrap the purchase process in a wee bit of prompt and circumstance . . .

. . . or fry Washington, DC or Moscow . . .

Take a look at "Diamonds Are Forever" for all the details.

That's why F1 never really interested me: I don't want to watch a race where all the cars are the same. I would like to see a "no holds barred" race, where you could enter anything from a teenager on a skateboard with a jet pack, to the Mammoth Car. How about a Russian T-Series tank with a MIG Fighter engine mounted on it? (That actually exists. The Russians used it to extinguish Gulf War oil well fires).

Now THAT would drive real innovation, and be a hoot and a half, as well, when folks came up with some wacky ideas, that went terribly wrong. Think of those old black and white film clips of the first attempts at powered flight.

Convince the entire world, that someone else will have to pay the tax, and that the entire world will be exempt from it.

. . . you forgot the part about how she is going to lay off Americans . . . revoke their citizenship, and force them to leave the country, and try their luck elsewhere in the world.

She also ditched the old concept of "The HP Way". I'm guessing that she will change the "Pledge of Allegiance, to the Flag" to "With Freedom and Justice . . . for the Rich".

"Hi, welcome to your flight to Hell! Our flight attendants will now show you our emergency procedures!"

"There is no life vest underneath your seat. If you would like one, they are available for rent for this flight for an extra $50."

"If the cabin loses pressure, oxygen masks will fall down. However, oxygen will only flow through the mask, if you have purchased our oxygen plan, also for $50. First, pay the flight attendant. Then put the mask on yourself. Then share the oxygen with any infants or incapacitated passengers next to you . . . "

Oh, with these cheap, low cost, discount fliers today . . . yes, it sure feels like retail!

The last thing you would have seen on the Germanwings video, would have been a piece of black tape being pasted over the camera lens.
