It's a problem that's never going to go away. You can talk action, education, whatever but feral cats will always exist and will always cause problems. I lived in an apartment complex for 5 years. There were feral cats everywhere and the whole place smelled like it. I trapped about 15 cats over that time and male or female, took them to the local vet to get fixed. It worked, while I was doing it, the last two springs I was there I didn't see any kittens. But alas, I didn't get them all, or some non-sterile male and female moved in and 2 years later, BOOM, kittens all over the place, again.

See all it takes is two cats to out do all the work I did in 5 years. And you're not going to get people to do half of what I did. It's just never going to happen. People still have babies without planning, how can we expect feral cat populations to be controllable?

no price is excessive if you can sell it.

Yeah, I think I can go for all of these, except babies, not really a fan of the smell. When I was a kid petrol (gasoline) smelled better than it does today.

What I really love that isn't on here is brand new vinyl, like a shower curtain, or cheap beach ball. Though I heard that smell is carcinogenic, but I don't care, love it.

I also love rubbing alcohol.

Oh sure, but I slip naked photos of myself into the religious books at Border's and I get arrested! Sexism!

Agree with nihil, they aren't talking about uninstalling costs, but basically that this blubberbrain cost the school an extra $1 million dollars for being a dolt and a thief. Add up nihil's explanation and times it by 5000 computers and you can accept $1 million easily.

Unfortunately, this happens with all news, people focus on one aspect and fail to get the whole story. Like me, I volunteer at the local soup kitchen every weekend but am I Splint, the Soup Volunteer? No. I also play baseball or football with disadvantaged kids every other weekend but am I Splint, the Sports Guy? No. But screw one goat...

A CPU on standyby does not use as much power as one running at 100%. A CPU running at 100% causes the fan to run almost constantly. Fan failure is a very common source of mechanical failure.

That isn't the whole story, he also had thousands of dollars of school equipment at his home, downloaded pornography and failed to do most of his job as a sysadmin (did not install firewalls).

In addition, I think it's pretty obvious that SETI running on 5000 computers at 100% would cause quite a bit more cost in maintaining those 5,000 computers. Factor in fan wear, increased power output, hard drive failures and it's easy to see $200 per computer per year in extra costs.

Do servers really want to do away with tipping in favor of a living wage? I made tons of money through tips throughout highschool and part of college. I certainly made more money than if I got paid $12 an hour. Did I get stiffed a few times? Sure, but I also got huge tips more often than that as well. I'm guessing it's the mediocre servers that want to do away with tips.

I also like how the offer expires. We can't possibly offer a free can of pork and beans forever!

If this were in Detroit the ad would be "Buy a house FOR a can of beans."

I eat the shells.

Be careful, I'm stuck on a sex-perverts list now just because I did this without official approval.

Maybe having a daughter dying of brain cancer put the "make sure the dresser drawers and CDs are dusted" priority way down on the bottom of the list. If my daughter was dying I wouldn't spend time doing any more cleaning than absolutely necessary. Dishes and laundry, tops.

It'd be funnier if the Google driver called the cop a Nazi on Godwin Street.

Simpsons did it!

Ned: Whatcha diddely-doin', neighbor?
Homer: Aw, putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster.
