I wear no time piece at all ... except for my pager and two phones.

Keep up the pressure you copyright fascists. Bittorrent and file sharing in general will just become more distributed and encrypted. Here is an idea guys, feel free to use it, give the public what it wants, now and at a reasonable price and you wont have to worry about piracy. Duh.

Does Anonymous have a public humiliation arm? If not, does anyone want to start one?

Google has a better product and no one is forced to use it. Makes me wonder who paid the FTC to look into this. Could it be ... oh ... I don't know ... Microsoft?

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if I get laid of or let go because things are pretty grim where I work. There are only a few people left in the IT department plus one useless manager. If they get rid of me my revenge will be not answering the phone when they find out they got rid of the wrong person. Without regular maintenance of our geriatric hardware and systems things will start to break and the morons will not know how to fix them. Fine by me, I am ready for a career change.

Damn, I already cut my hair! On the bright side I am still a socially inept technical genius.

Individually, we aren't that stupid. As a species? Yes, we are that stupid.

Preach, brother! I am thinking of doing the same thing for the same reasons.

I am one of those poor sods that actually have to do IT work. I am the MacGyver of the IT department. If no one else can figure something out they give it to me. Guess what, I enjoy the status of unending servitude. My boss though is exactly as described. It is my opinion that he is a waste of perfectly good protoplasm and he just got rid of the one person that could back me up. If go on vacation, quit or get hit by a bus he, and the company, are going to be in a world of hurt.
