javachik: The idea of dressing to impress anyone whilst traveling was knocked unconscious the minute we had to start taking off our damned shoes to go through security.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

(edited for humorous effect)
sarameg - So I put in the complaint about my a/c still not working. Was told it was going to be fixed today. Was offered a cat (manager traps the young ferals and rehomes them) and was told I've lost a lot of weight.
Weird morning.
Sue - Was this all in the same conversation?
tommyrot - If only customer service representatives were empowered to give away free cats to disgruntled customers, the world would be a different place....
billytea - Especially if they could choose the velocity at which said cats were delivered.
Toddson - New sign - in honor of Kat's tag - "Disgruntled customers will be given a cat. Really disgruntled customers will be given a feral cat."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tommyrot (quoting): If you own a Jura F90 Coffee Maker, you can also buy a Jura Internet Connection Kit, which lets you program and set your coffee prefs via the network: however, its got a bunch of vulnerabilities that allow for remote denial-of-coffee attacks
Guess what - it can not be patched as far as I can tell ;) It also has a few software vulnerabilities.
Tom Scola: I'm completely boggled that they embedded Windows XP in a coffee maker.
Steph L.: Could be worse; it could be Vista.
Frankenbuddha: So if it fails, you get the blue liquid of death?
ita - Wonder if you can program it in Java?

Titanic is the tragic love story of a dude (SPY DADDY DODD EX!) and a ship. There's some B plot about whiny kids in star crossed love or some crap, and it takes up way too much time, but the dude and ship parts are weep-worthy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aims, on Teppy's girly-bits troubles:
Also, if it is a giant alien baby with teeth, we will welcome him with open arms and you will get all sorts of hand-me-downs so you won't need to worry about clothing it. Plus, think of all the money you'll get from SciFi cheannel when they make "Midwestern Alien Baby" the #1 cable movie next year.
