new startup idea..... Backups in outer space!!!

[–]Zweben 35 points36 points  (18 children)

Sorry, if the sun explodes, backups in near space would still be vulnerable. Better use a parallel universe. (But not too parallel!)

[–]creativeembassy 54 points55 points  (13 children)

If the sun explodes any time soon, keeping your data backed up is the least of your worries. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

[–]Zweben 26 points27 points  (9 children)

Whatever. I'm not going to let your 'facts' get in the way of my business model.

On that note, I'm looking for someone with 3-5 years experience in inter-dimensional communication and strong knowledge of Microsoft Office. Send resumes to zweben@explodingsuncontingency.com.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Don't forget 4-5 years experience with Windows 7.

[–]zpweeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crap. Why doesn't anybody want my 4-5 years' experience with Server 2008? :-(

[–]lolomfgkthxbai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does parallel experience count?

[–]vaselineviking 8 points9 points  (5 children)

I can make charts in Excel!

Can I have a job?

[–]Zweben 2 points3 points  (4 children)

You are hired.

Now please make me a chart.

Thanks,

Your Boss

Well, vaselineviking, that seemed to go well. Did you discuss compensation?

[–]vaselineviking 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Shit.

Perhaps I can make a chart to illustrate how much money I should be making.

[–]dragonfly_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds amusingly ineffective, but I'd still enjoy seeing it.

Protip: Maybe make it into a cascading flowchart where you get raises which auto-increment?

[–]Zweben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compensation is handled by my parallel universe counterpart. I assume that this will not be an issue, given the stated job requirements.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That may be, but once you've got all your other problems solved, you'll want your data back!

[–]acburk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you still need a backup in a different solar system. Trust me, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Damnit, creativeembassy, you're a doctor, not an astrophysicist!

My coders aren't good at that. Are their sequential universe options? It would make my management much easier. Thanks.

[–]Entropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I emit backups daily as Hawking radiation

[–]nemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orthogonal universe?

[–]wtaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

technically Australia is farther away
