Believe it or not, a funny story from Slashdot (and no, I haven't gone back tor eading it regularly, but

( We all know that advancements in technology can cost people their jobs. However, in the case of the building industry in Texas, the effect of introducing new technology can often be somewhat delayed. )

So, a 2,500 year old technological advance cost some poor guy his job. ...sigh...

In other news, still ill, still skint, turning in for an early night. OTOH, I did watch the entire 4th series of B5 this week.
