If it wasn't the insidious company in question, I wouldn't be nearly as skeptical and suspicious that there's something deeper and far more nefarious going on here...
Hi,nice to meet you. I'm neither a shill nor a fanboy. I'm an ass - I don't expect you'll have any difficulty trouble telling me apart from the others.;)
He manages to work trade schools and/or apprenticeships into everything, from global warming to tactics against war elephants.
Bit of a fucking loony, I reckon.
Dunno about you... but I, for one, would be very intrigued to learn how I can utilize trade schools against my enemy's war elephants. Schools are, after all, rather large objects; I always suspected there was a good use for them...
If you're technically skilled and so's your customer, you'll obviously find it easier to demonstrate your level of proficiency. On the flipside, if you're attempting to sell yourself to an HR manager, the only way to prove anything to one of them is with a brick to the side of their head.
For some reason, that reminds of once when I had a ringtone of someone with a squeaky little, gnome-like voice yelling "Let me out of your pocket, let me out of your pocket!" Well, my buddy hadn't heard my ringtone yet.... and he'd just had one bong hit too many when my phone began to ring. "What the fuck was that?!" His eyes were the size of saucers and he'd gone completely pale; it was beyond priceless...
If I owned a company that hosted videos, and someone posted something blatantly racist about black people in America, I would take it down in a heartbeat.
Nice strawman, dude. None of us have any say-so in our race or genetic make-up whereas the same can hardly be said for our beliefs (beliefs that are regularly forced upon others, often violently, nearly always hypocritically). Cultural relatively is a politically-correct load of horseshit: some belief systems are just a little bit more enlighted than others (to say the the least!).
...but speaking from the heart (as someone who wishes fundamentalists of every ilk would just slit their wrists and off themselves right now), I say "Hooray for the First Amendment" and "Go, Google" (you guys're.75% of the way towards redeeming yourselves but hey, its a start, right?).
Do you really think that you could stand up against your government that way?
Nope, not for an instant. Nonetheless, in certain liberty-minded areas of the United States (Montana and New Hampshire come to mind), the government has demonstrated by its actions that it very much considers the citizens of those states to be a threat. If I were them, I would certainly take that as a good sign that now isn't necessarily a good time to disarm. To quote Thomas Jefferson,
When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
I think it's rather self-explanatory, really... but those who've already been neutered might feel better about their lot of life if they tell themselves otherwise...
It's only futile if we assume that their objectives are, in fact, what they claim them to be. I, for one, don't have that much difficulty seeing through their bullshit...

While I do feel it is annoying that Intel is pushing an Anti-Linux platform, it doesn't make sense to trot out ancient CISC/RISC myths to attack it.
Bingo.
AMD... fuck you, too.
A 16GB USB drive costs $15.
Newegg had a 32GB for that price a day or two ago...
...he founders of pirate-bay, deserve what the get - let's not make it political...
Someone should cut off your head - but let's not make it violent! :)
... the hacking was an incredibly stupid thing to do.
For who to do? Because for all we know, it could have been you. Fucking asshole.
But they for the (enlisted ones) they also have well rounded general killing skills as well.
It guys who are Marines, definitely. IT guys from the other three branches? Not so much...
I also don't know how to check for typos...
Why Phone Companies Overcharge For Data
Shouldn't that read "How Phone Companies Overcharge For Data??"
(I would think the why would be obvious to anyone who's not a mouth-breather...)
It's getting hard to tell who's who around here.

Mod parent up. Same exact thing applies with the military IT guys I've known; if the military was their sole source of knowledge, then forget it...
med school gives you real knowledge
From the dozens and dozens of doctors I've worked with, it's clear that it sure as fuck doesn't impart any wisdom...

Lot *IN* life; pardon me. :)

The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War

Mod parent up.
....And eventually the fuedal system failed.
Nope; the rulers just wised up and now rule by proxy (parliamentary system), from behind their curtain.
Im sure judges are getting tired of all these patent suits...
Replace "patent suits" with "briefcases full of cash." Nope, I don't think they're getting tired, yet...! :p
