Comments on: The 404 306: Where just like the U.S. Postal Service, we're running out of money

Justin Yu returns to the show from his sojourn to Boston, but he comes back with some monster grandma glasses from the '60s and a $40 check from Airborne.

Uh...you actually did write "that" word. When you hover over Urban Dictionary you can see the link to that word. Maybe you should have done a tiny url?

Do some research, you wannabe geeks! Paper comes from trees that are *farmed for the purpose.* Stop making paper, and the farmers will cut down the trees and grow something else (maybe corn, to make ethanol fuel; who knows?).

"leaving your computer on at work apparently costs companies $2.8 BILLION dollars a year, but damn, we hate waiting 10 minutes for our computers to restart."

There are 300 million people in this country, that roughly works out to $10 per person per year, 10 min of wasted time every day for the average user with a 5 day work week and a month vacation means that there will be AT MINIMUM 12 BILLION wasted man hours every year by turning of the computers. I dare you to turn that into a dollar amount, jackass. What a price to pay for the color GREEN.

if your launching itunes and ALL your IM apps at work how much work are you really getting done, the 10 mintues to boot a PC is minor compared to the probably hours each day of company time you are stealing from your company... way co go crooks...
