The cross-country team in my high school was almost entirely nerds. Nerd != useless lazy sack of crap.

Except that for a lot of people, their company policy mandates that they buy the cheapest available seat. So you can't upgrade

It's what I do in my company, so there is one who does it at least

But in the scenario I'm talking about, it's during their workday, so it's not off hour work. PST, EST, GMT, and IST can pretty much set it up so that the outgoing shift overlaps a few hours with the incoming shift. Gives you 24 hour coverage, but keeps your support from working late at night, when people are less effective and more prone to mistakes.

That's one reason to have a percentage of your tech support in places where it isn't a holiday, or at least spread the time zones out through North America and Europe as to minimize the number of hours worked on the holiday itself

Quite the pet lover I see. Perhaps some fish filet is in order after the stir fry.

Most of these patches are happening on systems that are in some remote data center that's not in your physical office location anyway. So I see no difference connecting remotely to the servers from your house vs connecting remotely from your office

Inman has never denied being kind of an asshole on occasion. If he wasnt, his comics wouldnt be as good as they are.

Meet our good friend the pipe
It can be used to, among other things,| seperate values, | Eh|

It's not an excuse at all, but suggesting people who work 12 hour days aren't cooking due to boredom and the solution is to grab a tablet and watch tv while cooking is asinine. A better answer would be preparing large quantities of freezable meals earlier in the week to be used when time is short, and buying in bulk to defray costs.

The OP was talking about people who are working 2-3 jobs and dont have time to cook, and your solution is to take their $500 iPAD and watch pay TV while cooking?!? Talk about a lack of perspective.

The most basic cable packages are like $20/month. or like 4 hours of work at minumum wage a month. $20 isnt going to buy healthful food for a family of 4 for more than a couple days a month. Most people are going to look at it as something like "I can have two or three days of healthy meals a month, and still eat crap the other 27 days or so, or I can just stick with my crap food, and actually have something to do between my 3 shitty jobs that leave me so tired I cant do anything but sit on a couch"

I run dual boot Ubuntu and RHEL 6.4 at work with 99% of the time being ubuntu. I use a Dell laptop running OS X 10.9.2 at home.

Its best use is as more of a second display with the phone as the engine.

Or, you could use a pebble that syncs to your smartphone app, which gives you the benefit of not trying to awkwardly look at your arm or try to pull a smartphone out while running.
