    Kill two birds with one stone and just sterilize them (cut off balls).

    I don't know, you can't have 100 million people dropping pencil shavings--best to set an example.

    This is deeply ingrained in Chinese society. I read about ancient Chinese civilization that forbade people from turning in their family members for crimes. The family member would be punished for the crime of course, and the person who reported them would be publicly whipped or something like that. Good shit. If you went around the office talking smack about someone or defaming them they would also whip you publicly--god knows how many times I've wanted that to happen.

    In the US you can be a scapegoat without fearing for your life. What a great country.

    They just need reasons to kill people in China. In the US we just put the unwashed on government healthcare and set a limit.

    Yeah, Python. I got excited about it becasue the web was a-buzz with Python love. Installed it, started playing, about puked, uninstalled it. Fuck the white-space shit. Are brackets really annoying that many people? Is there a reason to break away from C-block formatting?

    Indeed it is extremely simple to pick up and therefor fills a person with joy at the power they have acquired. The joy quickly fades when you realize what you have to go through to build a real application. I'm interested in Laravel.

    Powershell was created for people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Sysadmins. As a developer it looks like fucking Greek to me.

  11. Commoditized Apple on Samsung Launches 3200x1800 Pixel ATIV Book 9 Plus Laptop · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have noticed the Apple brand getting eroded in the market from a disparity in price. I see quite a few iPhone ads offering free iPhones with carrier plans (AT&T/Verizon) while the carriers still ask good money for a Samsung or Motorola Android device on the same data plan. If this were my brand I would want most consumers seeing my old designs being hocked off in troves for free while the competition is selling for at least two hundred dollars each. I think this would influence the customer to think that my product was "cheap." The opposite image of what Steve Jobs busted his ass to create. I give Apple five more years before they're getting bailed out by Microsoft again.

    but what about downtime when they are between projects or tasks, and have nothing to do

    This is the mentality that makes me hate IT. You should be identifying what is around the corner and preparing yourself and your systems to address those issues. Not browsing fucking facebook.

    I didn't realize why but when I joined my current company the sysadmin always said remarked how nice it was to have someone to talk to. Just yesterday he remarked/confided that he was having a nervous breakdown and that he has guns at home. No one thought it was funny.

    The business doesn't really care, but who else has puked in their own mouth watching a Windows admin work? I'm so sick of even talking to these dumb fucks that I loath the IT department because of them.

  23. Re:Disagree about ease-of-use on Java API and Microsoft's .NET API: a Comparison · · Score: 1

    I agree with your comment but it really sucks when you have to wade through .NET docs. It is easy to track down the API documentation for Java and get examples. In .net you have to spend a half an hour on google to get a simple sample code snippet. Ask a question on stackoverthrow and get flamed about your question. "Is this Winforms, WPF, ASP---what are you using!" Winforms. "Winforms sucks why the hell are you using that?" "What language?" VB.NET. "Why can't you use C#?"

    In Java you go to the docs, see a plain hierachy with links to every class with full docs and possibly examples. If no examples are present you will find many examples very quickly with a simple search and no drama.
