Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages?
Ant writes "Popular Mechanics mailed a bunch of sensors on an epic journey to find out which American shipping company is the most careful with your packages. From the article: 'One disheartening result was that our package received more abuse when marked "Fragile" or "This Side Up." The carriers flipped the package more, and it registered above-average acceleration spikes during trips for which we requested careful treatment.' Here's what they found."
you believe "slashdot" has the ability to "reward"? what would make you think that or care if you weren't a marketeer attempting to sway public opinion?

The only whiny bitch here is the spoilt brat who spews random abuse behind AC because no-one will treat his precious Macbook with the respect it doesn't deserve while on a journey half way across the continent and in return for a price well below what it would actually cost to carefully move it from A to B to C to...
The guy is doing the job he is paid to do. You want to pay him to do what you think he should be doing, why not offer him a reasonable wage and working conditions to do it? Or do it yourself, you lazy little man.
You are the guy who shouts abuse at the waiter then gets piss in his soup. Actions have consequences, my spoilt princess. I'm also a privileged cunt and I've never had to do manual labour, though I did once do unpaid helping-out at a cybercafe managed by a friend, possibly the least difficult place in the world in which to wait tables. But it was still tough and I still learnt more respect for the guy at the other end of the transaction.
Sir, I wasn't so fucking insecure about my abilities that I felt the need to mock people for not having the "smart" to excel in higher academic education, in the same way that I don't mock the artist for not being a Fields Medallist or even the wheelchair-bound for not running a marathon. We're born different, we develop different strengths, yet we each have something to contribute: either enjoy the world or go back under your rock and dream about how you'd like your peasants to behave, you snivelling bedroom dictator.
That's why the people shipping it TO YOU are supposed to insure it.
Please learn to read before insulting people. The bit you failed to read was even in the text you quoted!
tl;dr Arbeit macht frei, right?
