"This is why I kept telling people to delete emails. Don't save everything, get rid of it. Set Outlook to auto delete on exit and don't give people the option to delete."

Exactly! There is no philosophical wisdom in there that could benefit mankind.
Only dickpics.

"My company deletes emails after 90 days unless you jump through burning hoops to save a limited number of them. And has IM logging forced to disabled. This REALLY sucks when you want to go back to refer to something. "

Is sending a BCC to a personal account and a filter to forward incoming mails to the same account also forbidden?

Submission + - NASA's New Horizons to arrive at Pluto with Clyde Tombaugh's ashes (techienews.co.uk)

hypnosec writes: NASA’s New Horizons is bringing with it the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh – its discoverer – as it cruises towards the now dwarf-planet or ‘plutoid’. The probe will be close enough on January 15 to start observing Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh discovered the ice and rock-laden Pluto in 1930 and one of his final requests was that his ashes be sent into space. Tombaugh died on January 17, 1997. Fulfilling that wish NASA has fitted the upper deck of New Horizons probe with a small container containing Tombaugh’s ashes alongside a total of 7 scientific instruments. “Interned herein are remains of American Clyde W. Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto and the solar system’s ‘third zone'”, reads the inscription on the container.

"My favorite is when seeing a (seemingly) healthy person get out of a car from a previous hard athletic workout, with a smoothy in hand, and proceed to walk into the Target store. This car is allowed for handicapped parking.

Either this person is borrowing the car of a person who truly is handicapped, or the entire system of what defines someone as handicapped is more broken then they are."

Or they come and get a person in wheelchair in that persons' car whom they brought earlier.
That's how I do it.
I'm aware of the looks that people throw at me.:-)

"The problem with online casinos (the ones that are not regulated) is that if the online casino decides you're winning too much, they can just decide to make you lose when you're betting the most (this has actually happened a lot)."

And in the regulated ones, you play against 3 teens that in reality are sitting on the same table and showing each other their hands.

"The issue is that ignoring the betting element of poker when claiming a system is perfect or optimal is nonsense. A 'perfect' poker system would need to be able to decide based on opponent behaviour etc the right amounts to bid to minimise losses and maximise winnings."

The botoxed face, sunglasses and cowboy hats don't mean anything, those work only to impress newbies.
