Comment Re:You're welcome to them. (Score 1) 402

It may not have been wise for me to spend years training vi into my muscle memory, but it's done now, and I'm not especially interested in giving up that advantage.

Always good to know vi, since that's the one editor guaranteed to be on all Unixes. At a previous company, all the other devs only knew emacs, but the customer's flavor of UNIX didn't come with emacs. They had to request that emacs be installed on the servers, and it took the customer months before they finally did it.

Comment Tiger Woods (Score 1) 550

I heard Tiger Woods had LASIK done around 15 years ago, and since then he's had to have 3 follow up procedures since his vision keeps gradually getting worse. What happens when there isn't any tissue left since you've had the procedure done so many times? Do you just have to wear glasses, or are the consequences much worse than that?

Comment Re:Black hole? (Score 1) 277

Hole in someone's head, maybe - after all, a simple spreadsheet to track something this basic or a reminder in a calendar with alerts with someone assigned to keep an eye on things would take care of things like this. They're lucky it wasn't held hostage...

I'm sure someone that spreadsheet with a calendar reminder, but then they probably got laid off and didn't bother give the info to anyone else.
