It doesn't take a lot of brains to be in the service.

My department is spread over 3 jurisdictions. Whether I work from home or from my desk at the office makes little difference. Actually, that's not entirely true, since my office tend to be noisy, and the commute is a bitch, I'm far more productive working from home.

He probably should have toggled the Cheating Bastard check box.

Just mentioning the "cloud" should be legal basis enough for having your testicles yanked out with extreme prejudice.

Room temperature here is > 30C (Caribbean). Anything below 26 C will get you complaints.

Wrong box, kitty.

If Iran is truly threatening to "nuke" Israel, then they will stop doing so the moment they actually acquire their own nuclear capabilities

Israel is so small that it would be relatively simple to dessimate the non-Islamic population centers without necessarily worrying of a considerable reprisal; what would Israel target, after all, Iran's central governing cities? (Which would be emptied, likely, before an attack.) Their non-central cities? (Where it is known, especially in Israel, that many people are more liberal--more 'live and let live'--than in the countryside which supports the Iranian regime?) What does one do on a sub when one's country has vanished, nuke or move-on? Nuke to show 'you shouldn't mess with [that which no longer exists]'? I'm probably looking at this too simply, I'll grant you, but again, 'Israel ain't big', and more importantly, 'one needn't target all of it, just certain population centers'.

You're very quick.

Is it green by any chance?
