And this is why I will never, never, never, NEVER leave big corporate IT for a small/new company. As much as I would love to be in a more cutting edge shop, the HR at a massive corp is just so worth it. They have no time for any of that bullshit and come down like the fist of an angry god at the first sign of sexual…

Every idea that's put forward in there is done so in the ALL CAPS OF DRAMATIC EMPHASIS. There are parts that make no sense whatsoever no matter how you discuss them. Most of…

haha, oh man. I can't unsee that.

haha, hearted.

Mmm, space donut....

If you start asking "what was the point" about most things in Prometheus, you'll be wasting a lot of brain cycles. I believe the point was "because the plot needed Holloway to die horribly to show that this bioweapon thing was horrific and bad."

haha, love it! I'm picking that up asap.
