Well, I guess that'll put the skids on the Armenian Genocide play set...

I would have done better than 3.72 if it weren't for that ill-considered Piano I class.

Think about it - a programming student sitting at a keyboard, spending weeks trying to find the CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys.

So I'm out with the astronomy club with all our cool glass and tubes and stuff and have people looking at Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, M-13, fun stuff like that there. Someone asks, "Which star is Sirius?" I pull out my laser pointer and show them. Little kid says, "Whoa! That's COOL! Mom! Buy me one!"

I tell the mother, "No, do not buy him one. Laser is not toy. Can blind himself or a friend with it. Under no circumstances should you buy him a laser. Buy him a UV flashlight to look at centipedes or something."

Lasers are cool, but only for grown up kids.

I see nothing wrong with the goggles... I see NOTHING! AAAAAHHHHHH

In Soviet Russia, laser puts in the cooler you!

Be even funnier if they find a lot of methane stored in these asteroids, under a layer of dust.

"hey, we could pipe oxygen up from Earth and run big space engines!!!"

Meanwhile, reports from the 1950's showed certain cigarettes didn't cause significant throat irritation. In other studies doctors recommended certain brands of cigarettes.

I guess it's just a matter of finding the right people to .. uh .. doctor your results.

What, and show you all the spots they've put on them? That kind of ink isn't cheap, you know!

Maybe if they knew the right people in Anonymous...

j/k ... I think.

probably produced by a bunch of people who knew their jobs were going to be cut.

More like Microsoft may see their future survival as hinging on collaboration rather than confrontation.

Lord knows they've dropped the ball, missed the bus and done everything they can to paint themselves into a corner in the past few years.

XBox was supposed to be the gateway to them providing all the information services you need in your home (like anyone really needs to live like they would in Bruce Wayne's Bat-Cave.)

Sounds rosey, but honestly the paradigm wasn't how we used information in the house, that happened over 20 years ago, it's that we take it all with us and Apple has been eating their lunch.

These days people like to put the success of their projects on their resume. If only prospective employers followed up on these things.

"So how did it work out?" "It was deemed a waste of resources and scrapped after they left, further it damaged team morale, which took a lot of milk and cookies to restore."

Probably half of all students are already on some sort of grant, scholarship or other financial aid. I once worked with the financial aid office at a college and about half were getting at least some assistance there.

Who did the marketing research and how much ganja were they smoking when they did it?

The loss on this reminds me of an ill-considered plans where I worked ages ago. Someone bought a $20,000 system and contract to move EDI packaged records between institutions around the state. I has it foisted upon me (make it work, you peon) and spent the next year chasing down contacts and attending seminars. After a year the person who "bought" the product angrily wanted to know how it was I hadn't made any headway - this because none of the other institutions ever went through on the project and it was effectively dead. Then I had the gall to ask, so how much work are we saving by doing this anyway, and found we would move about 4 records per quarter. 4. End of project. That person should have been sacked, but was promoted. Go figure.

my wheel barrow broke I just said, "Dang it!", went to the shed and invented an anti-gravity lift to move the manure around the back lot.
