Or they could stop rewarding millionaires with stock options, spend that loot on upgrading their POS network and make everyone happy.

When things ARE broken is a much more appropriate option. I fix hardware and have to examine error and debug logs frequently...BTW using the terms loosely cause Im probably wrong about the debug term. How else can I prove it is your shitty software jobs and half-ass PERL scripts causing the problem without examining the code manuals? What does the poll writer think hardware geeks deal with all day? Does he/she think I really have time to become an expert in all the languages the customer uses? Even if I would completely ignore my family I could never master all the necessary coding skills to be an expert without the manual.

Duke Nukem Forever to be released Q4 2009.

The EFF strikes fear into the Rotten Apple!!! Couldn't get any better. At least someone is looking out for the users.

I will still go onsite to fix your nodes, blades, and servers when the hardware fails. Clouds, Rainbows, and Dreams all have powersupplies.

I like that by following the link of "Go Daddy Sucks", their google keyword ad is still on the right selling domains for 6.99. I wonder how many clicks they just got?

Even more boggling is when ISP's refuse to blacklist these zombies. Kill the modem after you send out a nice letter stating their box is hosed and must be repaired before they are allowed back on the pipe.

I chose it to relive a nightmare of my past. I was 14 years-old and I thought playing with He-Man was still cool. They were my friends and went through funerals, church (secretly of course), and a lot of other meaningful events. My best friend, or so I thought, brought a couple of girls over and I broke out the He-Man. They started laughing and left. It was this moment in time when I realized the fun innocence of youth was forcing me out. It just seemed I was about three years behind the curve. Fuck it, I still got those figures and they are still more loyal to me than anyone else.

There is no price/performance contest in comparing AMD Phenom Sexcore processors versus competitors. You could build a whole system around DDR3/i7 architecture, but it is unaffordable in large clusters. BTW, I am an AMD fanboy, especially after upgrading a cluster to the new Phenom chips. It was able to work perfect with DDR2 and saved a fortune just upgrading CPU's to get about a 15 percent performance increase. This only helps AMD.

Gnuwife. Otherwise we wouldn't have any money.

I think God built in many fail-safe mechanisms for destruction in case he forgets to push the red button. The earth colliding with Mars? Bring back the cosmic death movies on television!!

Surrounded by 1024 screaming 15,000RPM fans in a cold room with my tech bench. Noone can hear you scream!!!

I will gladly do hardware support for system developers and admins both. Break the machines all you want, you are under maintenance with my company, who unlike devs and admins, doesn't treat me with the least bit of respect. The random "failures" caused by experimentation keeps my job interesting. Only my customers at any IT job have ever respected my skills.

I just completed King's Quest III again. "Gwydion the chickens need feeding!" I miss the old Sierra Studios.

A hoax? How could you be such a pessimist when you know those two guys just unveiled the frozen bigfoot they caught? :D http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200834/1806/Shock-Bigfoot-claim-is-frozen-hoax/
