When I bought my places ($100k-$150k range), the first loan place I went to, the guy I talked to tried to convince me to get a more expensive house (you are approved for up to $350k! You should look at something nicer!)
I would *not* be able to pay the mortgage on such a house, let alone cover food and utilities. He didn't care, they were just going to sell the loan to some other company, they would make their money, he'd get his commission.
Glad I went with another company. That was obnoxious.
Really, it is only embryonic stem cells that ever have an issue here with banning/restriction. That isn't nearly as much of a setback now as it was 3-4 years ago. Even if you ignore the ethical issues, the setback is probably worth it - it has accelerated the development of techniques for "undifferentiated" adult stem cells so they can create more cell lineages than they could have naturally. Why is this a big deal? What kind of rejection issues will you have to face when your new transplant comes from another person's tissue? Now, what if it comes from your own? That's the advantage.
I can see it being "OK" for a tablet, like it is "OK" for a phone (not great, and I'd struggle to call it "good"). However, for a non-touch screen, or a screen that is large enough to hold a decent amount of text, this interface is a horrible, inefficient waste of space.
yes, but prior to being off the clock, you can work to make it easier on them, once you are off the clock. Not everyone will dump you when you are redundant, especially if they make a point of keeping backups in positions, as another user mentioned. Even in the places where you are still too redundant, many employers will try to reshuffle you to other positions you can fill. Not all employers are cold, heartless bastards.
Yes, but not every employer will do that, and (in my experience) most will only do that if you give them a good reason, or they have no viable alternative.
Weird. That's the first I've heard of any university doing that. Here (and most others I've heard of) it is bundled with the dorm cost (like phone service). It is probably so they can, at any point, enact such a restriction policy, but we've had such access/bundles here for 14 years at least, and they've not done any access restriction yet.
Usually if a university has restricted access, they will mention it. Also, since you aren't specifically paying for the internet, I expect Net Neutrality rules won't apply.
And you forgot the biggest screw up of the GPs analogy.
GGP: They don't have what you want, appeal to a higher authority GP: Why are you suggesting they break the rules?
What post did you read? The GP said that the issue needs to be brought up to the appropriate group to get the rules changed, not to break the rules. I'd advise you get some more ADHD medication, and a bit less caffeine...
That's the way we work around here. I'm pretty sure my university doesn't block anything.
Except: I have a friend who works in a research lab, the computers there do have nanny filters on them - but I think that is due to the PI of the lab, and not the university, I worked in an associated department that shares a "local" IT group, and we never had such filters.
Yes, but I was giving the logic of why those fanbois want to call it GNU/Linux, it has nothing to do with X11, and everything to do with the userland tools (I should have added GCC, since that's a big one).
I have to admit, for those tools I do find that I like the GNU variants better for the most part (a little less consistent with the switch to say 'use regular expressions' in tools such as grep/sed, which always seems to be the same across BSD tools, but otherwise more easy to use).
regarding the "[sic]" - fanboi is used as a derogatory, typically emphasizing the particularly silly nature of the fanaticism in that case. From when I've seen it use, it's meant to be a bit meaner and condescending than just '"fanboy".
I knew a couple who never got married, even though they'd been together for 16 years - basically they'd seen many have marriages or whatever the "equal to marriage union" of the time was called, and all of them ended up breaking up, so they were happier just to stay boyfriends.
No, we don't (at least not all of us). My parents were divorced and I've seen to many messy divorces to think that kind of crap doesn't happen. I think getting all of those is a bit on the 'bad' side of the spectrum, but not exaggerated at all.

The loan reps aren't exactly blameless either.

In Soviet Russia, your vote changes hackers!
Note the presence of IT and and lack of cthuloid, crustacean or anthropomorphicasied-crustacean, or whatever the hell hie is...
And if you had to use the calculator to get to the control panel, your analogy might actually be accurate.

yeah, but you can't blame the people that are there, now, for that.

There are plenty of people who are literate who don't give a fuck about spelling errors, either. Literate != pedantic.
I thought it was that. The spell checker in Firefox disagreed. I trusted the spell checker since my spelling has always been horrible.

That's what the Nigels think, but what about the Bruises?
I've been watching too many Top Gear reruns...
An opinion, by nature, cannot be "correct". It can either agree or disagree with the opinions of others.

To an extent, but it I've seen it refer to people who have good reasons, and just go to far. With an 'i' it usually means they are just raving loons.
For any given entry on that list, I've seen at least one person go through it. For many of them, multiple people (including my father).
Some places are better than others, but there are still places where women get some major favoritism.

OK, then they majorly fixed up the non-flash site, because I don't have flash on this machine, and it is working wonderfully right now.
Well, their knowledge base search sucks, but honestly, that's always been less useful than a magic 8-ball.
