I work at a larger SF based company (1000+ engineers). I was full-time up until recently, and switched to hourly contracting work. I typically bill between 10 and 20 hrs a week. The really surprising thing for me was how willing my company

Yeah thats a good point - I personally have the bad habit of clicking "yes" to that dialogue whenever I see it, since it does sometimes spuriously appear. I certainly wouldn't attempt a teardown of all of the equipment curren

I bet you could make a Mysterious Hum detector that worked by having a camera and microphone installed in the theater that compared what it was seeing and hearing to what it was supposed to be seeing and hearing. But I agree with you that i
