Re: RE: Has anyone heard of "Mirror Accessible"?

Is Las Vegas laying odds on this? I've got a few bucks I would wager against...

This is not just unreasonable, but insane - even assuming that everything goes perfectly (it won't). It is more reasonable to assume that a horse is a perfect sphere or that the Israeli-Palestinian problem could be solved once and for all with a coin toss. Keep the Uzi around for a while after the upgrades. You may need it for self-defense when these same damagers come scapegoat hunting.

Don't underestimate the benefit of the "remotely" part. At least they won't hear you swearing at them and you won't have several of them in your cube at all times - looking over your shoulder, asking intensely stupid questions, and constantly talking on their cell phones relaying status reports! Also, if you have to make a break for it, you'll have a decent lead.

Only a few years ago, I thought that Dilbert was comic exaggeration. I have since come to the profound realization that it is subtle understatement.
