... considering that if the distance estimate is right, its orbit is 1/10 that of Mercury. Better put on the SPF 1million if you go out on that rock.

that while Slashdot has covered 15 years of change in the online and computing world, change here seems... different. eh well, it'll all be Facebook in 3... 2... 1.... /6 digit slashnumber, seen enough changes already

If you have a laptop that has remote admin/update software like Altiris on it, you'll probably screw up the PC if you start messing with partitions, folders, settings, etc. Would recommend against that. My latest work laptop (c/o the Fortune 25 company I work for) has the disk encryption, but no USB block or oppressive admin rights, and no huge caveats except to not install unlicensed software on it.

As for general use, are you traveling a lot? Employees that travel tend to have a bit more leeway with the use of their PC, browsing should be no big deal, but I would still recommend not loading up games or media on it. Get a smartphone or 2nd PC for that. And have some common sense; no porn browsing, period.

OT: sounds like there are a lot of 'bosses' on this thread ;0

Does this mean that for the affected patients, more UV is reaching their retinas than before? If so, how could that be a good thing? Seems like more damage would be on the way.

guess I can't respond to the calls or automated alerts I get on my phone, the latter of which require keypad entry to acknowledge.

The next Dr. Who: Will Ferrell. Just shoot me now.

Clearly a problem of relativity. While you may not be able to see your anus, your doctor can, and as he shoves his gloved fist up into the brown dimension the observed properties vary with the distance and speed that his fist travels. QED.

X-COM, Terror From the Deep started? Leave it where it is!

I can hear the little kids on a field trip to the planetarium... "the stars are bright! I can see the Milky Way! Wow, the stars are hot and LOUD..."

damn, beaten to the punchline. Think they know they'll need interior defenses to keep the ghouls and nightkin down?

you're gonna have to let him touch the pipes.

really this thread is 'over in 1', as I totally agree with the initial comment. Ad-hoc servers on the net, you're lucky they don't give it and you the boot.

when badly coded MTA software would get a reply-to-all with embedded email groups in it, misprocess the groups, and go into a exponentially-growing loop that brings down the server (happened in an office where I worked, Groupwise was the app). That'd show those reply-all types.

At my current job tho, people hate being left out of the loop, so reply-alls are the norm, rather than the exception. "Think before typing" hasn't been repealed, people just act like it has.

The quarter-million fake accounts here can reply to the presumably equal number of fakes on match.com. Pardon me while I go register DNS names for virtual wedding sites; they're sure to be a hit!

A restaurant, maybe?

I see they haven't figured out our advanced potato cannon technology yet.
