    "Oh, I'll just fix this computer after hours... should take me about an hour" = Four hours overtime! :P

    I have the best of both worlds. I'm salary AND overtime eligible. My company is awesome.

    I'm the worst of both worlds! Stipend!

    You should steal everything at the office. EVERYTHING.

    Holograms in Halo Reach are the greatest thing ever.

    Nothing beats someone getting the drop on you, retreating, tossing out a hologram, and them wasting an entire magazine and melee on it while you just mow them the hell down.

    I even enjoy being tricked by it myself. Elite comes with a sword comes charging for us bzzzam huh?

    and then we all get dissected

    You mean like Dead Rising, only with more history than the Zombie-pocalypse of 2006?

    Too bad it's such a crappy office. I don't think paper clips and file folders go for much on ebay.

    Although we do have a hefty supply of print cartridges!

    I was presented with a problem.

    There are infinite potential hypotheses. If you falsify a set of these hypotheses, any arbitrarily large set, you still are left with infinite potential hypotheses. So how can you be getting any closer to the truth by doing so?

    I'm thinking the answer has to do with bounding the set of hypotheses.

    Bummer. I was off work all day yesterday and couldn't get a single person to join up.

    Granted, there were... like... two people on for most of the day.

    I did satisfy the daily challenges yesterday, and in a few days I will also get the weekly one.

    Are you looking for a practical answer like "In the process of eliminating false hypotheses we also gain information with which to start predicting the likelihood of remaining hypothesis to be true"?
