  2. If You Do Not Have Good Stories, Do Not Post! by $criptah · · Score: -1, Troll

    What the fuck? Some dude writes a bot that scans one fucking site for jobs and we are supposed to figure out how the market is doing? Are you on fucking crack? Seriously, please let me know if you need a calendar, because April 1st happened several months ago. Also, if you don't have any goddamn stories, don't post. Put a random ad or something.

    On a better note: If you are trying to catch a hot trend in IT, it is too fucking late. Indians and Asians can do it for a tenth of the price and no matter how you swim, you'll head to the bottom if you compete with them. Yep, even if you have a Nobel prize. Instead of trying to figure out if SQL is worth studying, you should simply enjoy what you do or get the fuck out. This is pretty fucking easy. Also, do not get me wrong, IT will stay here, but if you're looking for money and to make a killing, IT is the worst field to be in right now. Want to earn good money? Try sales :)

  3. First, there are far fewer liberals here than ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    think. There are a number of right-wing fasicsts here who, if you do not believe in everything they do, you become their foe. If you call a spade a spade, they will tear you apart if they do not like it. Don't like the answer, wellllll, too bad. Oh, do not write anything nasty about Bush here as you will be modded down. So if you call him a coward for avoiding 'nam, or call him a traitor for hiding a traitor (rove), or wonder aloud why he award the medal of freedom to somebody that he accused of being inept (tenet), or state that he has ran up a large deficit, or stated that he lied about his invasion of iraq, or that he is hiding information by putting a gag order on sibel edwards, or that he was inept in all his business dealing, or that he was yellow when this nation was attacked, or wonder why people like richard clarke and john snow would state that he lied about a number of things, or wonder how he just awarded ANOTHER unbidded 8 BILLION dollar contract to haliburton, or wonder why the F**K that last piece made Aljezera, but not main stream papers, or why UK memos state that Bush lied about Iraq, or why ..., . Well, you would be correct, but still modded down.

  4. Obviously an American user interface student by heroine · · Score: 0, Troll

    You're obviously taking user interface design at an American college because the amount of pure torture in checking off 20 checkboxes by hand and reading a tiny graph 1/10th the size of the page can only be explained by the sheer dominance in inferiority of that university system.

    Now if you went to an Indian college you would have allowed us to compare all 20 options at once on a readable graph without having to kill ourselves checking boxes. If you can't make it work, outsource it.
