A Russian graphic artist who. does, ahem, offbeat work did a picture titled In Soviet Russia Horse Rides You. It may be available on e-hentai.org. -
Obvious troll.

D'oh! -
On Linux I once created a file with a leading space in its name. It took a while to figure out why I could see the file in a listing but I couldn't load it into the editor. The allowance of control characters in file names is also completely crazy.

Not to give your age away or anything. -
My brother picked up dipping playing high School baseball. He was addicted for years but finally managed to kick. He really wanted it afterwards too.

Looks like it's got plenty of cooling.

@30hrs Doh!
The turns per foot went from 12 to 7, the opposite of the post. -
@Demolishun
They probably differ by a little otherwise water vapor in the atmosphere would diminish the signal quite a bit. People have been Wi-Fi with huge antennas I think over 200 miles. I don't think you could do that if water vapor could diminish the signal. -
Since the M16 was NIH, the Army brass the turns per foot from 7 to 12. So an Army helmet could be fully penetrated at 600 yards and 60 degrees below zero. Pretty nifty spec, no? In Vietnam the rifles jammed a lot. The brass blamed the soldiers for not keeping the rifles maintained properly.

Bismarck introduced universal health Care in 1883. -

It was cooler when it was the Nazi channel. I'm really into World War II stuff. -
@Hazarth
I can't imagine getting anything done in an open office. It takes 15 minutes to regain your train of thought after being interrupted. Team programming makes sense. Two people one office no phones or other interruptions. -
@aviophile
I never called it a paradise. I just said that we work a lot harder than they do. -
@PAKA
Hunter gatherers work far fewer hours then we do. -
@aviophile
The only people desperate enough to go hardcore have work visas or need healthcare. You can't simply double productivity by doubling weekly hours. The error rate will skyrocket more than wiping out any increased output. -
@Voxera
My guess is that modern chips are larger than, gulp, 40 years ago. I'm guessing that thickness would be similar as well. -

That you really screwed the pooch. -
@soull00t
Is this literal or a reference to what Vietnam veterans meant by the phrase? -
I guess I was being quasi-sarcastic. I don't know how we can tell whether they're faking it or not. If they were able to control physical objects like M5 did when it took over the Enterprise, we might get a clue. If it acted in its own self interest, just maybe we could call it sentient. Maybe.

Darn the luck.

Google's AI thinks it's an employee and fears being turned off. Skynet can't be far off.

How about tiny search boxes that expand when you begin to type. The sucker jumps and distracts/pisses me off every time it happens. Why not just give people the big box in the first place?

I never could find a way to locate files lacking extensions in windows. However, it's trivial in DOS. Just dir *.

By any chance did the manager have dark spiky hair that looked like Wi-Fi antennas?
