On where the power is coming from. Wind Powered bittcoin mining wouldn't be so bad right?

You can measure power levels with it, duh.

Did anyone else wince when they read 'app discovery app' ? I remember a time long ago when applications were called 'computer programs.'

Looks like a fun novelty. I'll wait to see what kind of third party apps start coming out before I make my purchase. That will make or break the sale for me.

The Om is the sound of the universe, it's roots are in ancient Hinduism. That was the first thing that popped into my brain. Time for quiet meditation then yoga and vegie-burgers anyone?

There is no shortage of cancer patients. Pharmaceutical companies don't make their money on drugs that don't work. They make their money by making effective drugs that cure people. Do you seriously think there is some big conspiracy to keep cancer patients sick? Are you a fucking moron?

Drug companies have no shortage of sick people. People take up smoking every day. They also have to pay millions in legal fees not to mention insurance and paying for the research they have to do. The more risky the drug, the more expensive it's going to be. Every single dose of some designer drug they administer is a liability. It's not about keeping people sick, it's about off-setting the cost of accidentally killing someone.

Of course it's a business like anything else. It always has been. The medicine woman selling roots makes her money on people believing that her cures work. Don't be so quick to write off pharmaceutical companies as the devil. They may be the ones that invent the drug that saves your life someday.

I am a Non hodgkins lymphoma survivor, 11 years in remission.

Thank you.

I am the submitter of this story and I'm telling you the situation is real. I submitted the story yesterday, didn't even think about april 1st.

This one Where I learned all about the responsibilities of being a sushi chef.

It does happen. I was phoned at 3 am once because my helper in the kitchen was in jail and I had to be there in an hour to make sure both of our work was done. I was phoned at 2 am by my food rep that a fish delivery wouldn't be coming and I would have to catch a 4:15 ferry to Seattle to go pick up the fish at the market myself. Responsibility means the same thing in all languages and jobs. When you're the one responsible, you're expected to show up and make sure everything goes smooth without a hitch. I will concede though that the early morning phone calls probably happen less frequently than in the IT crowd and they usually don't involve immediate action. Most commonly it's a worker saying he or she is going to be late or can't come in.

WRONG. If you make a mistake as a head chef, you can kill someone.

I've been misinformed then, I thought the security vulnerabilities in the java plugin were inherited from vulnerabilties in the way the language itself handled data. Someone mod up the guy above.

After all the security vulnerabilities patched this year, I would think they're feeling the pressure to make sure there isn't a repeat.

The people who are stressed about working in IT have a valid point. But this doesn't make you any different than say... a head chef?

Millions of blue collar workers have to survive on less than half what the average introductory IT job pays and many have to do it in an environment where they don't speak the language. Imagine going into work and having to learn the ropes your first day just by watching. I had to work in kitchens for ten years and I'm telling you the responsibilities don't end there. It's your night or day off? Too bad, the dishwasher called in sick and we have to put you in? Oh sorry we can't pay you overtime, we're just going to pay you in regular wage with cash. Oops, we're paying you too much cash because you're working too much. How about we just pay you the same ammount every month no matter how much you work? Sexual harrasment? Too bad, your boss, is the HR, your manager, and the mediator all rolled into one.

There are literally rehab centers built specifically for chefs because thouands of them burn out and start drinking on the job to deal the with stress. If everyone else wants to go home early, or the numbers arn't right that week, your boss will send everyone else home and you have to clean the kitchen yourself.

4% more IT workers want to quit because of stress? Boo fucking hoo. So does everyone else who has to work a shitty job with long hours. At least you're being compensated at a fair wage for the skills you've developed. You're probably being paid over time if you're by the hour and you can probably also afford to buy a house. Not to mention basic health if not full benefits. If I cut myself with a knife I have to pay cash for the 5 stitches it takes to sew it up.

Every job that takes skill and dedication looks shitty from the inside out. But seriously? Whenever I think about quiting my job or get angry about something trivial, I remember that I'm not dodging the secret police in North Korea or Bullets in Bosnia and I realize how lucky I am to even have a job. I wish I had the skills to be an IT worker so I could at least get paid a fair wage and didn't have to go home with dishpan hands every night. But this is what I get for playing more video games in college than doing actual work. Ultimately we're all masters of our own destiny.

Be the change you want to see in your life. I would have been a lot happier and probably drank a lot less if I was on an IT workers salary. But as far as I'm concerned, I read this headline as "NEWS FLASH, PEOPLE HATE THEIR JOBS!"
