    I hear that Slashdot is another way to do that, too. Especially the brittle, whiny aspiring despots.

  3. Yes.

  4. Got it, thanks.

    Graphic design classes teach Adobe products for the most part. Adobe has historically been a lot easier to work with with educational pricing than Quark.

    I hear that drug dealers often offer the first hit for free. /s

  5. Since the fall of QuarkXPress...

    I'm not in the graphics or website industry, so could you please elaborate? QuarkXPress seems to have an active release. What was "the fall"?

  6. Not if you are in a State that is solidly red or blue. You can do whatever you want, and it's not a "vote for Trump". Unless you vote for Trump.

  7. That's a recurring problem. That's why people like Mitt Romney keep binders of women.

    ...gaslighting asshole managers.

    Had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    "...a form of psychological abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity..."

  9. These gigantic internet companies consume smaller companies and spit out all the parts they don't like. In many cases, that's most parts.

    Yes.

    I have an axiom that goes something like this: "If it takes 'N' people to create and sell a widget, then that widget has no business being owned by a company with 100*N employees. That way lies disappointment."

    It happens over and over. Little company makes something cool. Big company buys the shiny little company for "diversification". Big company shits on it all.

  10. As for Apple's desktops, they should get out of that market entirely because they won't be able to make the margins they are accustomed to in the future.

    Never underestimate the allure of a white case with rounded corners. To some.

    Pro Tip: If your company says "employees are our most valuable asset" start looking for another job.

    Super pro. I wish I had some mod points for you.

    "Windows is a steaming, smelly pile of pure, unadulterated bullshit!"

    That was actually their initial tag line.
    Then they tweaked it.

  13. And now, a word from Pinocchio on Windows is the Most Open Platform There is, Says Satya Nadella (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Gartner: Is Windows the most open system?
    Pinocchio: It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect.
    Gartner: So it isn't an open system?
    Pinocchio: On the contrary, I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably do or do not know how it shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't how it isn't. Even if it wasn't what I knew it was, that'd mean I'd really have to know what it wasn't...

    ... a San Francisco start-up that has developed an electric self-balancing motorcycle...

    Because, when you are lit, your motorcycle had better be self-balancing.

    "Just drop a python under the house and it's taken care of."

    Good fix for a lot of things.

    Roommate takes your snacks? Python in the cupboard.
    Girl Scouts selling cookies door-to-door? Python on the porch.
    Phone solicitors? Python on the ph...no, that did not work.

    Given this other article on Slashdot, I'm thinking the UK has more in common with the EU than they care to admit:
