I did, this was 20 years ago, it is just a story at this point. I no longer work there, not because of the poster I thought it was funny, but because of the double standard.

There is such a double standard wrt harassment. I saw a male peer be asked to change his desktop background while our female superior had a "Penises of the Animal Kingdom " poster in her office.

Btw the desktop picture was the face of a woman, neck and up not an ounce of cleavage. So, yup as a man you have to be more careful than as a woman and that's not cool.

Being first doesn't always make your product. But, it's a nice problem to have to be first. I can promise that if you are trying to raise money you will be asked, "who else is doing this and how far along are they"

If you was your time upfront and someone beats you to the market, who cares about the engineering!! If you capture the market for a new idea you can use a more formal process for v2 while your competitors missed out.

If you are building my pacemaker, then lets be formal from the start!!

Seems, dumb to make a one size fits all statement about hacking out some code vs. engineering.

He is Fucking Brilliant!

1) Invent machine to make people fat by removing the need for them to walk
2) Make bulimia fashionable
3) Profit!!!

Brilliant!!!

I let my kids know that the number of rules they have will be inversely proportional to how they handle their responsibilities. If they are doing the things they need to do, and getting good grades without a lot of hand holding they will have very few rules and a lot of freedom. If their grades slip and they don't take care of their responsibilities they will be going to school in a uniform and in bed by 8 with no electronics.

Putting them in control of the rules that they live by has worked out pretty well so far. If I'm lucky it will until the move out.....

A woman at work was having an affair with a man in the office. She wanted to send him a sexy picture via email, she accidentally sent it to the 4th floor distribution list.

She was gone so fast that I didn't even see her after the email, and she came back to get her things after hours.

Tell me where, I'll open an account!

Many years ago I was at a bar in NJ listening to a band. I had 1 beer over the whole 4 hours I was there. I was younger and dancing my ass off so no time to drink. I was pulled over on the way back to my apartment. When they noticed my MN drivers license they asked me to take a breathalyzer, I did. When I passed it, they had another squad car there and asked me to take another one. This happened one more time before I refused. I had been breathalyzed 3 times and was still afraid that if I refused they would rough me up for not following orders. But, I finally said no because it was obvious that they were just hoping for a misreading. Then they all stood in a circle and talked and let me go. I was about 22 at the time and it has definitely helped to make me distrust police.

our galaxy?

Anyone with some astrophysics background want to describe what this would be like? Is it directional? would we be fried if we were in the beam? or would it just look pretty in the day and night sky?

Just curious for someone in the field to describe it.

Hiding it in port is probably a great recruitment tool!!!

Exactly, the only downside is the steering wheel lock. But, that is still a better option than crashing at 130mph.

Should really be based on bodyfat % not BMI, since muscle weighs more than fat you could end up with some really unattainable bodies that according to BMI are obese, but look awesome and ripped.

Many sports models would be overweight according to BMI.

Yea, sorry I got the wrong agency. It was actually the DEA that uncovered the fact that the ATF was selling guns to criminals.

Sorry I got the wrong agency. Doesn't really change anything about what happened. And, BTW I'm not a right winger(nice flamebait from an AC). I voted for Obama and have been very disappointed in my vote, because he did not do the left wing things he promised to. Even the ones that were totally under the control of the executive office.
