I sincerely hope no one asks this douche a question. And shame on /. for sinking this low.
Its like Slashdot themselves are trolling us.

In as much detail you care to provide, how did you get where you are today?
Interpret that as you will.

Martin,
Is all of the irrational hatred you receive as a result of drawing attention to how the medical industry reconciles drug patents and generics with the FDA worth it? People who read past "ZOMG PRICE HIKE" learned that the FDA makes the process to genericize drugs like Daraprim harder than it should be. The idea being that perhaps if the FDA wasn't so obstructionist the market on Daraprim would never have been cornered in the first place.
Follow-up: What's it like to be so based?
What you did makes me want to bash your skull in. Whether it was lawful or not, whether it adheres to capitalist principles or not, it takes QUITE an amount of egoism and delusions of grandeur to pull that off without losing sleep.
So my question is this: If you think basic human ethics don't apply to you, why should I not come over there, kick your teeth to the curb and take from you whatever I damn well please?
Emacs or vi, you excrement-coated human enema nozzle?
That is all.
There's no fixing sociopaths. It is an underlying neurological condition that leads a person to have no empathy and be highly narcissistic. In general, the only thing that keeps sociopaths in line is to demonstrate to them that behaving properly is in their best interests. But unfortunately, modern finance at least temporarily rewards sociopaths, because they tend to be charismatic, make grand claims and even grander plans, and by the time anyone figures out that the sociopath was full of shit and saying whatever it took to get what they wanted, the company is already been damaged, key employees have already left (usually after a lot of bullying or worse by the sociopath).
It's largely why I feel anyone diagnoses as a sociopath should be banned from any position of authority; whether that be a manager, a police officer, judge, or politician.

The absolute asshurt in this article is hilarious. Actual questions getting modded as troll, crying and screaming and "lol kill urself!" getting modded to +5.
Crying and screaming to not give him attention, yet that is exactly what you're doing by crying and screaming about it.
