For all that really matters in this world at this time, mod the parent of this comment up, and the grandparent way down to troll!!!

Not over 4000 Kcal, though...

I know that I will be quite indifferent to the disposal, once it is to be effected, but I guess that the ones left behind would like some notion of what would be "in my spirit". As a natural consequence, though, if they opt for a spot in a cemetery somewhere, I won't be around to argue.

In any event, though, I have registered myself as an organ donor with no other consent required, so whatever it turns out to be, it will be after harvesting my organs, if they are still of any value...

Not likely, since it's believed to be the ancestor of modern cows, so my guess would be "even tastier" :-)

Aurochs, the "ochs"-part meaning "ox" and the "aur" being a nomer for something like "original" or "ancestral"...

Read... The... Fine... (wait for it) Article!

Spoiler alert!

He developed a highly efficient library for arbitrary precision floating-point number calculations, capable of having a desktop machine best a supercomputer. Now go change your signature to "For lack of a better question..." ;-)

...unless you also count the time required to set it up...

I'm sorry if I appear dumb, though I suspect I might in the following, but I guess it would be due to the difference of cultures...

Here goes, however: True, some people might not be in need of this protection, but that, however, does not invalidate it's existence (at least to my mind), as long as "some people" aren't a full 100% of the work force...

Secondly, under employment regulations here in Denmark, and unstable job simply isn't "the only way around", since it's illegal in the first place. How is a bad job situation better than the same job, but with better protection, from the POV of the employee?

Finally, we also have an unemployment system, so it seems to me that you are promoting a system of a lesser degree of respect for the employee over one that matches every opportunity for said employee and adds job security, barring direct violation of the job contract (the content of which is subject to regulation limiting the employer's power), and thus, I fail to grasp your point...

Interesting point, but why would an employee willfully subject herself to the possibility of being laid off because the boss has a bad day?

Actually, I stole it from a (non-attributed) signature here on /. but I'm glad to hear where it is from. How do you suggest I attribute it? Just a "- MIT Dormline telephone system" below it?

Agreed! I was mainly replying to his suggestion that people who use what they pay for should pay extra for that :-)

Fortunately, there *are* countries where an employer doesn't have such power :-)

Yes, and it didn't really make sense...

How have I been trolled? If you are suggesting that he was joking, I honestly can't see the point...
