Tonight while talking with my supervisor at his desk, I was startled, when of all things, I saw written in big letters on his laptop..."EVO". My first thoughts were, what is he doing with Evo's laptop? How does he know Evo to steal her laptop? Why hasn't Evo mentioned the loss of her laptop? :confused:

Still not sure what is going on, so I am going to keep an eye on him, you can never tell about these mangament types.

So, Evo, do you know where your laptop is?

Was that created by one of those geeks who made a shrine for you? :-p
 
We are a "Compaq shop" around here so I hear Evo's name mentioned frequently. Sometimes it can be kind of amusing.
 
Am I reading these replies correctly? Does this mean that just maybe the company DID buy that labtop for him... (now why would my company but that brand of laptop anyway? :rolleyes: )

Does this mean that my boss is not a klepto? Perhaps I do not need to keep a hand on my wallet while he is arround... Whew... That is good news! o:)
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
