Sense of humour fail.

Well, in the name of all that is holy, don't watch I Robot.
It was terrible.

Money can't buy you lungs that convert CO2 to oxygen

No, but I bet I could buy a shitload of trees with $18B and trees are pretty good at converting CO2 in O2

Killer app... Awesome, now we can all feel better about being spied on, and/or killed because the drone doing it is running open source software. I know I feel better already. :)
What a time we live in.

Running IE is like kids playing with a loaded gun?

You are right. IE is far more dangerous, than mere children with a loaded gun. :)
I don't have any kids... That is probably for the best.

you can "ignore" passengers in person more politely than someone over the phone.

To words, "Hold on."
That said. Put the Damn phone down and drive!

Good idea.
The last time I took a week off, 2 days in my phone started ringing off the hook. I was in a museum at the time.
I correctly diagnosed the problem over the phone and told them what to do to fix it, but when I got to work the following Monday. The problem still had not been fixed. I don't think anyone did any work that week.
Sadly, they learned nothing.

When I took over my current position, I leaned heavily on my predecessor. It wasn't until he took a months vacation that I finally had to make the job my own.
So be there for the new SA, but make sure that after a certain point it all becomes his responsibility.
Something along the line of:
First month, training
Second month, I will help
Third month, I will answer questions. If I remember
Past third month, Moral support.

then you are cast iron evidence of what a non-digital watch is - jewellery.

I have about 30 watches and you are partly right. Watches are definitely jewellery.
I have worn a watch since my grandfather gave me my first watch almost 40 years ago. So habit is a strong influence for me.
They are also a brilliant piece of mechanical engineering. I have never been able to resist a brilliant piece of mechanical engineering.

I doubt very much that I will buy a smart watch.

God I loved that show! I found a torrent of the movie a few years ago, but I have never been able to find the series.
Hell, at this point I would even pay for it.

I agree with you, but you and I don't get a vote. The next time someone convinces someones grandmother to give out their bank password there will be one more story in the media about evil hackers.
Perhaps it is time to surrender. I gave in when they started calling this "." a dot. It hurt, but I got over it... Mostly.

I eat lunch near that convention centre almost every day. But there is still no excuse for using Bing.

The homeless I see often near my work.
Crying baglady. (Always on the same corner, amd always crying.)
Shirtless birthday guy. (It is always his birthday, and he moves corners.)
Homeless HIV+ guy. (He is so unflaggingly upbeat and positive, [pun intended], that I have given him a few bucks once in a while.)
I need to get to $PLACE to see my daughter. (I fell for it the first time I saw him. Now I loudly call him on his BS.)

Just think about how it will be if you are drinking your starbucks that was heated by burning cow dung..

Well, it might taste better. :)
I love good coffee. Therefore I can't stand Starbucks.

It would be great if people could request an update on a specific location. Possible way to monetize that would be that a person could pay to climb the queue.
