Just today I had a female co-worker hovering over my shoulder as I was accessing a server. I needed to change the URL in the browser so I highlighted the address bar and mumbled, "OK, we need the testicle server." She thought it was the greatest thing, howling in laughter. But then again, this is the same woman who keeps threatening to show up with a strap-on due to the gender discrimination.
It takes few lines of code to make it appear native on any platform. There are many third party LNFs available, some for free. What you say is stupid, lame, and untrue.
I have to admit that these memes are fun, and sometimes really funny, but to blow this up to profound importance almost makes me want to vomit. It can be viewed as a form of art and expression that is somewhat valuable. I have been enjoying the new Romney memes--seriously funny stuff.
You forgot the obligatory pictures of toddlers that get posted because.....drum fucking roll here........they got fudge-cicle around their mouth! FTW! YEAH! Give me some more of that shit.
Here we go with this fucking shit again. STFU docuhebag. Just let the statement pass. This just makes you TV watchers look bad when YOU flip a wig every time someone mentions they don't watch TV. This is 2012 after all, not 1972. There is other shit to do besides fucking wasting your life on Pavlovian responses to regularly scheduled programming.
Another alternative is to get hired into Microsoft in hopes of goading Ballmer into throwing a chair at you. Then you can sue for assault and battery. Its a lose-win situation.
[Side note: How come the spell checker suggests "Ballgirl" for Ballmer? Damn Chrome.]
...you also get the burnouts and hangerons that work the system and can stay for years doing nothing...
So it's not just my college......
On a side note, just noticed that about half of our classes (265 of about 600) were cancelled for the Fall semester. The stream of students has dried up and FinAid just changed to prevent students from taking any classes outside their major. It WAS very common for students to maintain full-time status taking extra classes (because some req classes are usually unavailable), but no more. The revenue is drying up and staff are starting to "disappear." The party is winding down or it may even be over. Oh yeah, and were dropping 10 million on a new campus, and sitting on two very underutilized campuses as it is! Should be interesting to watch, I hope I get let go.
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea what was going on as I had a sterile automated Amazon fantasy land in my head. I'm truly appalled at this and it makes me want to stop buying anything. This makes me sick.
They are removing a portion of the burden from government which is the point of all of this. Normally, the government would use a Pell grant to pay for a vocational training program. This slices a big portion off of the (sorry, our) government's expense in those cases. They don't mention time off for the training do they? This is a blatant attempt to head off government regulation. The Healthcare bill has set a compulsion precedent that is probably going to address education soon. Notice, Obama just made a move to allow bankruptcies for private sector education loans (which total 10% of debt, the government ed loans--90%--are non-voidable).
Philosophy doesn't work on the pocketbook over the whole economy. People buy the cheapest available equivalent product, period. I always chuckle when I see "buy local" signs because it is such a naive idea that is completely detached from reality. How do I know that when buying local that I'm really creating any benefit? I find it silly to adjust my spending based on something that is not rooted in obvious economic value. If you want better treatment for workers there are two possibilities: unions or government regulation. The government union/regulation introduces the economic incentive to act in the interests of the workers.

Is the release of this project an outcome of Oracle losing the lawsuit against Google for Android?
You are trying to do too much in the morning. I made the same mistake. It can't be your main workout--no strength training, for instance.
Firefighter? Usually has me breaking into a sweat by 8:15am.

Now get off my lawn!

I don't watch TV programming (cable) but I do own a large modern LCD TV. One in which I control the programming.
Thank you, someone else brought up the opiate addiction thing. I was too lazy to get into it.

My god that is so lame. I keep forgetting about it but /. keeps unearthing it.
You know what? I wasn't at all attracted to the notion of working at Microsoft until you mentioned the janitor position. Now that sounds like fun!
Do you use actual flowers on the resume? Seriously, I need to know.
Developers, Developers!, DEVELOPERS!!
Wow, just wow. I'm having trouble processing this.

No rigor in Econ, WTF top 3 school is this because the Econ program I've been considering has me nervous.
Oh Snap! We consume so much time fucking with smart-boards and other toys that get ruined. Don't even get me started on the mobile labs!

There is always She-ra too. Maybe she is too nice though, but she does ride a unicorn nonetheless.
