Time for a cat scan!

Iz I the right way up for printing?

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..

Fax, Petr. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)

Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
LOL, Kevin.
- Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm
- Iphigenie
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-)

Bernie Madoff gets 150 years in prison, maximum allowable sentence.
Derrick, Kelly Mitchell, Alejandro and 23 other people liked this
Right before issuing the sentence, the judge pointed out that when a widow's husband had a heart attack and the widow went to him that he put his arm around her and told her that her money would be safe. This sentence likely ensures that Madoff spends the rest of his life in jail.
- Thomas Hawk
Traders on the stock exchange floors cheered from the floor when the sentence was announced. The courtroom also erupted in applause when the sentence was announced.
- Thomas Hawk
Judge called Madoff: "extraordinarily evil."
- Thomas Hawk
Thank God. Now they should go after his sons and wife.
- John Flynn
Judge noted that there wasn't a single letter of support from anyone in his file. No friends, no family, even his wife did not write a letter asking for leniency.

his wife Ruth Madoff wasn't in the courtroom when the decision was announced. Wonder how long until she's kicked out of the Park Avenue Apartment.

Good. Now let's impose similar penalties on corporate fraudsters, the CEOs who lie about their books and rip off investors just as badly as Madoff did.

I believe that one of the settlement stipulations is that he wife loses the NY Penthouse along with most of his and her money. I believe she will be left with about $2.5M.

that's what they said today that her settlement lets her keep $2.5 million. I bet investors will still try to go after that money though. Clarke, I seriously doubt he'll ever get out with a 150 year sentence. Even with good behavior he'll probably be in there until he dies.

Down To Business: This 'Gateway Recession' Must Transform IT -- IT And The Downturn - http://www.informationweek.com/news...
"This recession will be particularly disruptive for the business technology organizations that underpin the digital economy. In the previous post-dot-com recession, IT was taken to the woodshed for a lesson in fiscal responsibility--the calculus of ROI and the art of "doing more with less." Today's recession calls for a much deeper and more disruptive self-evaluation, where tech organizations must (finally) reduce the 70% to 80% of their budgets that goes to system upkeep to free up more money for investments that tilt the competitive playing field."
