Use your unwanted mod points here! I'm gladly going to Karma burn for this...
People that are modding my post "flamebait" just show how screwed up/. has become. I pointed out FACTS in Ryan's record and pointed out an essential hypocrisy in his character. If you think that's flamebait just take your ass back to your radio and listen to Limbaugh and forget about talking rationally about anything.
If you are going to accuse someone of some sort of sexual deviance when the entire NSA and black ops establishment is pissed off at them there better be DAMN good proof. If not whoever makes the accusation should be held with the highest suspicion you can muster. If you think the US if puppeteering people everywhere you must be naive.
Well, as I've said before we need to uncouple job training and university study again.
University studies were meant for people that wanted to learn and study. Right now the whole meme is that you go to university to get a better job. There is nothing wrong with that, but that isn't what universities were created for. Not everyone should go to a University and there should be no shame in that.
Well.. Paul Ryan in particular. The government helped him through his tragedy with social security payments which he smartly used to get through school, and now he wants to be sure no one else can pull themselves up in the same way.
If your instructor is doing something like this to you, he/she is an asshole. If you can run FAR away or, if you can't avoid the person teaching, be cautious at every turn. If a prof is inflicting this type of B.S. on students then they another jerk you need to avoid in getting your education.
The unis that I have worked at are trying to avoid this every chance they get by developing their own online course system or (ugh) using Blackboard. Most profs I personally know do things to try to avoid extra costs to their students. This type of behavior is the mark of a jerk.
They cut off a one time unrepeatable event. Not everyone can "get off their ass" and get to a con for a whole multitude of reasons. It's a pretty god damn bad outcome.
This isn't an externality. They interupted a legitimate stream for what turned out to be a bogus reason with no recourse. It was bad business and they are directly responsible whether it was done by a bot or a human. And they will probably suffer for it in the long term if the "market" really works as the market lovers on slashdot says it does. I certainly won't suggest anyone use it ever again.

Not in our lifetime. The CEOs and the politicians all need new Ferraris!
Keep arguing against ghosts there, dude. To mix medaphors, keep fiddling while everything burns down.
Unfortunately it's probably the uni applicant... because H.R. drones are too god damned lazy to do even a simple google search.
H.R. is one of the worst "professions" out there and it's ignorance helps create just about every corporate mess that's out there right now.
I want a power exoskeleton to fight of Xenomorphs.
Or at least a power loader.

Dr. King would be in the Supermax right now.

Maybe we should all kick in so a $10k check can be included at they will actually read it.
And no change to my point was needed.

Oh.. and if the DEPARTMENT is requiring this (like we see in other comments here) I double down and say the whole DEPARTMENT is shitty.

Hey Kids!

Or, you know, actually limiting human rights to *actual* people, not legal fictions.
It's only hurting the "little people," so good luck getting it fixed.

If they're going to indescrimately cut streams using bots maybe they ought to be.
It's either that are they're just not interested in being fair to their users, which is another good reason not to use them.

Or, you know, someone at UStream actually paying attention to the goof.
Do they really have no humans working there over a holliday weekend?
But it won't be by Harlan "PAY THE WRITER!!1!11" Ellison.
It was a convention and it was for fans... so I don't agree with you on this.
UStream aren't even bothering to respond to complaints.
This is the sort of thing a site deserves to get a black eye for.
> it is similar to shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre.
No it's not. Not even close.
