Uh, your fish are dead.

He's doing very well for himself in a job that didn't exist just a few years ago. If he's smart he'll invest that money. There's no guarantee he'll be able to make the transition when the next content platform or even new game comes along.

You realize this is possible today, right? Commercial trucks that cross state lines are generally required to carry at least $750,000 in liability insurance, and most carry higher limits. I would argue that it is even easier to get yourself rear-ended by a big rig driven by a human, compared to a computer with an instant reaction time. Trucks today also won't have all the sensors and cameras recording every aspect of the accident.

So their assumption was that you were smart enough to do the job you were hired for, AND capable of building a cute colorful hydrogen bomb, yet dumb enough to announce your nefarious plans via screensaver? Yeah, that sounds like HR.

Just do all your browsing in Lynx.

So? GP isn't wrong. Helvetica was the default font for Mac OS for many years. I certainly associate the two. The fact that Apple didn't create Helvetica doesn't mean they're not associated.

I'll attend if Cowboy Neal will be there.
