  1. Re:Supply and demand on Ask Slashdot: Why Are American Tech Workers Paid So Well? · · Score: 1

    Of all of the things that are not true, what you just said is the least true.

    Well, in my school we learned the differences of political systems ... and social systems as fashism

    Did you though? Did you really?

  3. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Paypal didnt create anything of value??? The vast majority of fintech innovation is coming out of the US and UK, with Australia (here) starting to build up a head of steam.

    Reddit uses a similar model (Reddit Gold), and it works just fine and lots of people use it.

    No, no it doesn't. And no, no they dont.

  5. No such thing. Radelaidean reporting in.

    Ha, this guy knows whats up.

  7. I'm calling Poe's law - No one can be this retarded to set up such a straw man.

    No, I havent.

    Non-trivial as in large-but-predictable. Or currently too-complex-to-estimate? Because the former can be broken down and the latter can take a spike to get clarity on whats required so it *can* be broken down into manageable chunks. If you look at a problem and say "I have no idea how to do this, but lets hack it untils its done" - Just leave, like GP said.

    I logged in specifically to thank you for mentioning Edward Bernays - I'd never previously heard of him or his work.

    IT in most places....

    I've dropped the rest of your misandrist, apologist bullshit. If the majority works effectively in a particular way (your own quote that this is a majority says it does) then you can get fucked with a tyrnannical minority. Seriously, kill yourself now.

  15. Re:The IRS is not a *kind* organization... on Our Low-Tech Tax Code · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but when the GST was bought in (June 2000) the top tax rate was cut from the 48% as it stood at the time, and a bunch of Sales taxes (woo, Coke got cheaper overnight by a bunch as it had a "Luxury tax" of 22% IIRC). It was just a redistribution that they should have gone all the way for and killed all income taxes. In ten years time when all the baby boomers are on a fixed income, good luck trying to convince the voting public to scrap income taxes and increase consumption taxes!

    Do you think banks use .NET (or any MS framework)?

    Why yes, I'm in the middle of a project developing middleware for a supplier of core banking systems to various south-east asian banks.

    First article, First comment I read on a Monday morning and I'm already angry (and haven't had my coffee yet).

    Mods: Any comment that attempts to put a legal argument to be with such categorical statements that do not contain IANAL are to be modded -1 Clueless.

    For the uninformed, Australia is not the 52nd State:
    http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/DTLJ/2001/1.html

    (Albeit decision was held in the Federal Court, and this case is being heard in the High Court so a new precedent could be set, but Australian Courts have held that any non-trivial compilation can be held to have copyright subsist in its own right).

    IANAL but IAALS.

  18. Re:Just another sign of the Microsoft apocalypse on Microsoft to Give Away Developer Tools to Students · · Score: 1

    The real issues stem from the close minded cultural and social attributes of most professors I know. Nearly every CS class I sit through includes the instructor making at least one Microsoft bashing comment. I suspect it's simply that they're smarter and better informed than you. Those that can, do. Those that cant, teach.
