  1. Re:Loaded title. on Microsoft Claims 110M Devices Now Run Windows 10 (computerworld.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Well idiot W10 is a fine operating system, a true improvement even over W7, so if your pathetic fuck-faced bias keeps you from a better experience...

    See above.

  3. As a regular Groupon consumer on Groupon Is Closing Operations In 7 Countries, Laying Off 1,100 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My partner and I over the past few years have regularly used Groupon as a loss leader introduction to many many many restaurants in the Melbourne Australia area. First off, with but an exceedingly rare exception, the restaurants have treated us as first class citizens. Groupons customers who report otherwise arrived with a chip on their shoulders which is unfortunate and ultimately not my problem. They're dicks and should be treated as such. Second, several businesses have converted us to regular customers. And, truthfully, some businesses are so overpriced, they've converted us to strictly loss leader customers. Businesses that fail to deliver value -- even if rent prices force them into it -- must fail. But Groupon overall provides what they strive to, and we'll continue to allow them to introduce us to new restaurants.

  5. Re:Get Self-Employed on Debate Over Amazon Working Conditions Goes Back Years · · Score: 2

    People don't resent the rich nearly so much as the guy next door, especially if he comes from a different cultural background. If a bricklayer lives next door to a bricklayer, and the neighbor has two new cars parked out front, bricklayer #1 is going to be miffed, and this has been proved repeatedly. Nothing drives spending like keeping up with the Kapinskies.

  6. Re:Missed opportunity on GitHub Desktop Launches To Replace Mac and Windows Apps · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    C++ is that unmaintainable crap I jettisoned a decade ago because server- and client- and developer- time is more valuable than the semantics of RAII. Moore called, and he says to tell you your skills are obsolete. Shave your necks and move on.

  7. Re:Those making more than new minimum salary on Company Testing Standardized Salaries Is Struggling · · Score: 1

    As they should. The bourgeois that can't afford a cook along-side the maid and butler need to learn to cook their own damn burger. In Australia with $15+ minimum wage, it costs $10 per person to eat fast food, and $20 per person to eat pub food. And as it should be, a lot less service class food is eaten, as eating out has become precisely the redistribution of wealth it was intended to be. The last time I was in the US, I felt *terrible* paying $10 for a burger plate in a pub because I knew the staff were getting positively fucked in the process.

  8. Slippery slope avoided on NY Judge Rules Research Chimps Are Not 'Legal Persons' · · Score: 1

    Next would have been ruling separate but equal unconstitutional and the next thing you know after someone gets their ass and face chewed off some cop offs an unarmed chimp Detroit goes up in flames.

  9. Re:Physics still applies, if you pee at an angle i on San Francisco's Public Works Agency Tests Paint That Repels Urine · · Score: 1

    Amen. Pubs in Sydney had to remove breathalyzers because it turned into a contest to blow the highest number. Considering the laws there, I think that was the wrong response as they could simply cut off every bloke or sheila (yes, Aussie women also try to drink each other under the table) that blew say .1, win win.

  10. Rogue != Cowboy on How Developers Can Fight Creeping Mediocrity · · Score: 1

    A rogue as described in TFA prototypes, demonstrates, estimates the effort remaining, and gets buy-in. Getting the time comes from the same place where tech debt reduction comes from. In contrast, the cowboy pushes to completion and commits it.

  13. Re:Patent on Newegg Beats Patent Troll Over SSL and RC4 Encryption · · Score: 1

    Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

    An algorithm is as patentable (and copyrightable) as a recipe for spicy shrimp pasta. It's a statement of -- occasionally ingenious -- fact.

  14. Re: 25+ years on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 1

    You may be thinking NETBEUI not working over routers. The only real difference between a switch and a hub is the visibility of a CDMA collision.

  15. Re:im sure the meeting was interesting on Microsoft Officially Releases Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 · · Score: 2

    It's a no-brainer for me, not sure what the sour grapes are about:

    I'm far from propertied, but I'm sorry to say the majority of the rants in here smack of bitter jealousy. You have one vote, and short of beheading those in power, you're going to have to make the best of it.

  20. The hell I go through on On Managing Developers · · Score: 1

    Peer reviews, client feedback, is there anything you need from us, done. As long as peers and clients are happy, the conversation takes under 30 minutes.

    Hell is a pretty cool place.

  21. Don't study, write on How Much JavaScript Do You Need To Know For an Entry-Level Job? · · Score: 1

    Write a shopping list app. If you have a significant other, you'll be a hero, and besides todo apps are so 1990. Use a framework like angularjs to learn front end MVW, and learn how to consume web service calls that deliver json to populate your model. There will be enough javascript in this small app for you to wrap your head around it. In an interview, smugly say "I know jquery, but I avoid it". That much should at least get you out of the bottom of the pack.

  22. An open letter to SWABB on There Is a Finite Limit On How Long Intelligence Can Exist In Our Universe · · Score: 1

    Bennett and timothy are sugar-posters compared to you. Would you please in all sincerity fuck the fuck fucking OFF. Or die in a fire. Your shit-posts are an insult to any shred of intelligence in this finite universe.
