You're embarrassing. Basically this guy didn't have the right to fool around with someone in college because he knew his roommate was homophobic and might respond? If this would have been fine if there were a female and Clementi, then obviously there's a problem.
Sorry, this is bullshit. The purpose of hate crime legislation is to attempt to balance a situation that remains unequal. It's pathetic that white males are getting up in arms about the perceived slight, as if they haven't been on the gravy train for hundreds of years.
Yeah. The LGBT community has so many nefarious goals, but only tells folks about one of them -- to be equal to everyone else. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.
If you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't say things that were patently false. It is not a difference of opinion, it is flat out ignorance and stereotyping. For example, you're ignorant enough to think that you file grievances against members of your own union. When you insult an entire class of employees based on the sole fact that they're a member of a union, I think that counts as "slamming an entire workforce." It has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing, it has to do with painting people you've never met and know nothing about with a broad brush, you fucking ignoramus.
Ah! So you don't know what you're talking about and have no experience with unions, but you remember something from when you were a school-aged kid and are pretty sure that entitles you to slam an entire workforce because of it. Sounds legit.
Hell, if you DO need color, go laser. Even used color laser printers are worth it (I have a discarded Color LaserJet 2500 -- had a common problem that was relatively easily fixed). I used to have inkjets -- every time I went to print, the ink was dried out.
A movement to specifically organize IT would be interesting. We were just organized as a consequence of having organized the nurses and then following with the rest of the processional staff (it's a healthcare union I'm a part of).
Why don't you come over this way and tell that to the union reps that have been fired by my organization over the years? I'm sure they'll be happy to hear it was all a misunderstanding.
The reason government can't get anything done, generally, is there's always some jackass out there questioning whether a thing is needed because it happens not to be exactly what they want, or why workers cost anything at all since their life is in the shitter so why should a government employee make money either?
There is a significant interest in this country in starving government, and then mocking it for under-performing. That's a combination of arguments only an imbecile would make.
What was removed that took out support? I'd think floppy controllers are still supported -- was there something special about those drives vs. current drives?
Now I don't even remember the last time I actually went into Start Menu folders. I just tap the Windows key, type the first few letters of whatever I want to open, and hit enter. Even if there were multiple files that fit into that filter, it's still more convenient to pick the right one from the list than to go through the All Programs menu. It's of the few innovations I actually liked about Vista (of course, 7 took that and improved it even more).
Windows 8 got rid of that entirely, and made a whole bunch of design changes that actually impede usability for anybody without a tablet or touchscreen
I'm gonna go ahead and recommend you try the thing you're talking about in Windows 8 before anyone moderates this comment too seriously (spoiler: the behavior is exactly the same, there's just no indication that it is possible).
It is not the same thing. I suspect warships are using binoculars to identify foreign objects. Identification was not needed on Titanic -- it didn't matter what it was, they shouldn't have been slamming into it. I can't find anything specific and detailed online, but I've heard a number of times that generally you look with your eyes and then take out the binoculars to look at something you've already seen. Another factor I've heard is that with the temperature and wind, eyes would have been tearing up making it harder to spot something anyway.
I've seen a few places that excess slag in wrought iron rivets was what they found the cause of that part to be... the steel was alright for the time it was made.

No, it's intimidation as a direct result of thinking "unapproved thoughts."
No, perhaps it was 300 hours community service wrong. But he decided that he did not owe anyone that.
Guy could have plead guilty weeks ago and gotten 300 hours of community service. That choice is what he has to blame for his jail time.

Yeah, because /that's/ what happened here. Brilliant work.

Thank you. BTW, that's not a slur. Why is it a badge of honor to some people to be as spineless as possible?

Pipe down and let the adults talk.
A union isn't necessary until it's necessary. If all bosses were wonderful, unions would be almost completely unnecessary.
You're hired to do *a* job, not ANY job or several jobs.
Why don't you come over this way and tell that to the union reps that have been fired by my organization over the years? I'm sure they'll be happy to hear it was all a misunderstanding.
If you've seen the news, I'm not luckier over here.
Oh SHUT up.

You say this as if it is stupid, when surely you know it is the faux outrage from taxpayers that causes this shit.
My union covers our IT personnel (I am chair of the union's IT committee).

No, generally they don't. I actually don't know why people keep saying that.
