Yeah, I can see that happening. But my first reaction is still, "Damn, son, stop taking things so seriously. You're not a thoracic surgeon saving lives around the clock. Seventy or more hours a week so some pimply-faced script-kiddie can seed porn torrents and r00t another bot-net droid, or so Grandaddy Mike can email a 300MB video clip of grandbaby number 2 feeding itself dog biscuits to 49 of his closest friends, or en1arg your p3ni5 now! or, ... Christ, you get the picture." If that's the life you're forced into, you have my condolences. Truly. If that's the life you've *chosen* for yourself, <SLAP> now go to your room and reflect on that a bit.
