It's still theft of service, same way it is when you mooch the home wifi of people who aren't knowledgeable enough to add a password/encryption - it's unlikely there will be consequences, but if someone cares enough to track you down, then yeah, it's technically an offense.

I had a boyfriend in the 90s who was *eagerly* awaiting this technology... he's probably in porn heaven now. haha.

Double standard notwithstanding, men in general can be objectified all day long and they're not taken any less seriously in their field. Show a women with a great rack or a great ass, and suddenly that must be the only reason she's successful.

Sexual harassment on the job? Let's see here. There have been a number of incidents over the years, but this was the worst of the bunch:

I've got nothing on some of you ladies, but I've had a few.

The Baltic countries (above: Tallinn, Estonia)

I've worked in office supply retail for 14.5 years. I always have stories. Probably the craziest is the dude that came in brandishing an eight inch knife...

I have no real horse in this race - I've always used nVidia cards because I'm a longtime WoW player, and for the longest time, AMD cards did not play well with it. It's not a brand thing with me; I just went with whatever technology worked best with the games I wanted to play. But I was pretty pissed at nVidia for a…

Shaving is a racket, period - but that's what happens with consumables. I used to complain about a three pack of Mach 3 blades being $15+, until I was in Sweden, saw a package at the register, did the conversion from crowns to bucks, and they were $25. guh.

Pfft. I was a troll and emailed MY job a photo of Estonia from 35,000 feet and may or may not have included comments like "nyah!"

This is how I operate. I bought an HP 1020 floor model seven years ago, and I haven't even run out of toner yet - and it was a starter cartridge! I use it to print out whatever crap I need - recipes, directions, boarding passes, etc, and if I need something in color, I take it to work and pay for what I need. Waaaaay…

We only ask if the person is at least 18, because a. several of the contraptions in the building require users to be 18 or older, and b. the 16-17 yr old folks have restrictions on the hours they can work. Other than that, we don't ask.

The best hummus I have EVER had was in Santo Domingo - in some hole in the wall bar in the Colonial Zone, and in some tin shack restaurant in the middle of the city. Savoury and plate-licking good. Mine is not *quite* that good, but it's still damn good, and this is what I use:

I refuse to watch the movie, but I've read the book a number of times since I was in third grade or so (uh so many years ago), and it never fails to make me cry!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

It's also important to note that if you want to put a discrete card in a retail PC, you need to consider replacing the power supply as well; you often only get 250-300w, which is just enough to run what comes inside the tower. The added drain of a card may cause problems. Depending on the card, you can probably get…

I'm naturally predisposed to language, but I'm hearing-impaired, which means pronunciation and speech are complicated. I pick languages up very, very easily - as long as it's in writing. I can only process spoken language if I also have it written down in order to make sense of the phonetics. Immersion definitely…

I take a P-T-A shower every 2-3 days in winter, every 1-2 days in summer, depending on how dirty/sweaty I've gotten. I only wash my hair every 3-5 days though - I have massively thick hair, the kind that makes every stylist I visit go "oooh", and it takes a while for the oil really get into my hair; usually my scalp…

What is it with trolls who just want to be whiny little bitches about something not even related to the topic at hand?

When there are three seats to a row, the dreaded middle seat is also known as the bitch seat. (particularly when you're flying by yourself, when there's no one next to you whom you don't mind being in your personal space for two hours!)
