I'm no expert in this field, but I'm not sure why Kodak is coming n for any more criticism than anyone else for investing in this - they're hardly alone. Their shares have soared, and they have a long queue of people wanting to get on board with them. Furthermore, they themselves are only investing in the technology, not Bitcoin itself - that's down to the individual miners who buy in to it. IF BC goers under, Kodak can still put the blockchain technology to other uses, if they want. And, they have their own power generating plant which is under-capacity at the moment, so can run these rigs relatively cheaply.
Can't say I'd invest in BC myself, but there you go...

No.
Crypto's are drowning out each other, their worth may fall rather quickly.

Kodak mad the best Bridging Camera (a.k.a. SuperZoom). I have a Z990 and love it. Now the logo's licensed to so junk company.
My Z990 has a 30x Schneider lens & uses 4 AA NiMH batteries. I compared, side by side, their stuff to a Nikon . . . no contest.
OK - I only get a couple hundred shots on a set of batteries, between charges, if I use the flash, but a spare set is US$ 6. Beats the crap out of proprietary Li-ion batteries.

One of my DBA's is forwarding me e-mails from some programmer guy we hired a couple of months ago from some outsourced department. It's not the profanity that bothers me, it's just that every time I want a new report, I will have to go through mediation with the HR department.
Yesterday I remember, there was this email from an indian company about outsourcing data mining, sounds interesting, let me look into it.

So I'm a DBA entrusted with securing the nations's data and some new guy downstairs has been sending increasingly offensive emails trying to cajole me into giving him crazy levels of access to sensitive data.
I have reported him to my superiors and I guess he'll be getting his marching orders later...
[EDIT] Just seen the bugger drive away in some crazy looking Mustang. Noisy as hell - must be wasting gas on a monumental basis!

Hahah - your comment made me think of Being John Malkovich - in the restaurant after John has entered the portal into himself. I swear I understood that scene perfectly once or twice. 
Malkovich? Malkovich.

Of course it is. I am staying out of this fight in case the bullets start flying!

I now see his post below this one, that's him indeed !
But his last post is relatively mild, normally guns and bullets are mentioned and he uses more explicit language, well guess he's getting older and milder ...

Our department has our own physical database server, on which only our department has access.
Our department supervisor tried to run a Qlikview app that uses stored procedures, which may or may not use functions as well.
Only me and two other people have execute permissions on OUR server, and the department supervisor is not one of them.
So, I send an email to the DBA(sshole) downstairs and request that our AD group (which only includes the people in our office) be given execute permission on every database and stored proc/function.
His response: "Are you sure you want to do that?"
After another half-dozen exchanges:
Him: "Can you give me specifics? Which database stored proc/function are they trying to execute?"
Me: "Really? You want to do this one-at-a-f*ckin-time? Fine - I can play that." and I gave the db/func name, ending with "This is f*ckin absurd."
I'm sure I'm gonna get a call from HR, but these idiots are standing in the way of us doing our jobs.
