You have got to be management.

At least hide the fact you need the data for your own personal use and are either job hunting and lazy or being inept at your job on reporting why no one wants the jobs to your higher ups. For crying out loud you even asked him to format it for you.

Try asking a legitimate question. For example : "Could you prove those cost of living allowance numbers? I live in the Denver metro area and that doesn't seem quite right? Also do you have a reference on those salary ranges or are you just making it up off the top of your head?"

Feel free to copy and paste into your own post or, seeing as how lazy you are, just reply with "ditto" :) If your joke was to pretend you were one of the management, it's to dead on for me to catch the sarcasm. Good show, sir. Good show.

What is the sound of one hand coding?

fap, fap, fap?

The truth is that a Mac is less likely to be targetted because it's a minority operating system.

I've never understood this assumption. It seems contradictory to say the minority is less likely to be targeted when IIS servers get popped a lot more than Apache when Apache is more widely distributed. Also, if I were to create a botnet, why wouldn't I target every OS I could? As a disclaimer I use NITdroid ;P

The good thing however is that 3d models have enough flexibility so that one could conquer many attacks

except for beer. Epic beer failure.

Badly written pages ... not only take up more bandwidth because they have a lot of crap code in them,

This has always been my argument against commenting code. No comments passed = less bandwidth.

a demand for them to be "humanely" killed prior to being cooked

Like cattle are? Lets just hit 'em in the head with a hammer. Just don't mess up the meat texture and flavour.
I want a study done into different types of death for animals and how it effects the flavour. I want to see some poor scientist testing "laughing to death" on a cow.

I tried out Goozex per a suggestion from another user on Slashdot in a comment. Worked out a lot better than I had hoped. However, my hopes were low after dealing with GameStop for years. Goozex is a game trading site not a rental site but if you rotate games in and out of your queue you could easily use it as a rental site with no monthly fee.

How about a space debris collector fabricated from a large percentage of aerogel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel perhaps in a giant sphere shape that we sweep through orbital debris fields like a big mug scrubber http://www.bsi123.com/pm-348-2-glassmug-spongescrubber-brush.aspx

It's light weight and aerogel has been used by NASA before.

IDK I'm just spit ballin' here.

"give it to someone who can't afford to purchase one "

good idea. I'll put it up for sale on Craigslist

All right I'll bite.

"Your civil liberties don't always trump the good intentions of the well meaning"

As one of the well meaning with good intentions, yes they do. I want your civil liberties to trump my good intentions. My good intentions are based on my moral/ethical code, not yours. Just the same as I don't want other's moral/ethical good intentions infringing on my civil liberties.
