I just wish that the stock market would represent what it's supposed to represent: a place where people can invest in our real economy.
I purpose the the stock market should really go back to its roots, and that every share should be attached to a genuine item of stock - be that cow, pig or chicken. And that you are responsible for housing and feeding all the stock that you own.
This would also have the interesting effect of changing our perception of Bull and Bear markets.
Eventually, he had no option but resorting to invectives.
I disagree that he had no option. He could have easy had said "I'm cutting you off", and it would had been done without invective. I'm not denying the need to cut Kay off, by Linus had a choice in how to do it.
As noted, it wasn't Linus that started the blow-up. It got to this point because Sievers was ignoring more professional, less blunt instructions about it.
Just be cause it crossed the line doesn't excuse Linus' behavior. If there is a history of incidents like this then Linus had ample opportunity to take this guy aside and deliver an ultimatum of "This is what happens if you do that again", and then have the balls to quietly act on what he had stated the next time Sievers tried to pull any crap. Instead Linus chose to ignore the history and let things get to the point of blowing up and telling the guy he is a fucking idiot in a public forum. Read any decent management book and they'll tell you that that is not the way to act. Such management styles are immature and ultimately unproductive, and any decent manager can chew you another one without resorting to displays of anger.
Have you missed Linus' on-going history of verbal abuse? Did you miss the part in this story where Linus admits that he has an ongoing issue with Kay, but only chooses to deal with it by blowing up and throwing a mini tantrum when something breaks?
If it wasn't Linus, would you take that sort of crap from $Generic_Manager? And if not, why is allowed to act like that?
At best you are stupid. At worst (and that I expect), you are a paid shill of the US intelligence community. What you claim is totally disconnected from reality and a nice example of disinformation tactics.
Oh please mr smart man.. please enumerate on the reasons why you posted that response.
Linus is providing that which is severely lacking in open source projects. Discipline.
Why are you confusing Anger with Discipline? Discipline is getting people all on the same page so that they don't do stupid shit in the first place. What Linus did was get angry - not create or engender discipline. However he did discipline the contributor by providing punishment, but the jury is still out as to whether it will result in a changed behavior.
OK first of all I have no clear idea as to the technicalities at issue, but I do agree that Linus is in control of the finished product.
With that said, if Linus had an on going issue with this guy he should have addressed it directly instead of the starting with the sweeping generalization "By their you mean ".
Waiting for something to break and then throwing a tantrum and saying "its my ball I'm not letting you play with it now", is as childish as it seems. A good manager should have pulled this guy up a long time ago and said "Don't try any of that shit any more. If you do here is what is going to happen..". A bad manager blows up about it in public.
The first point of the quoted FAQ still applies, as do pretty well most of the others.
And why the fuck do we care about micro-optimising the Burning Man departure queue? If the Burning Man forums don't care (and I take it that those forums are where all the affected people hangout), why should/. suddenly decide that its an intellectual problem worth solving? It just smacks of Karma Whoring and being butt-hurt from being rejected by the Burning Man forums.
There is a similar issue with Civil war artifacts in the US. Relics are worth $$ in the collectors market, but by law you are not allowed to use things like metal detectors on known battlefields. However a couple of years a local guy started doing exactly that. He found, dug up and sold stuff, but with no regards to keeping any records. When he finally got busted the historians didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they now had access to a huge collection of artifacts, but with zero provenance.
Can't say the same thing about Lando's dance moves though. That first number with the dancing stormtroopers and the supporting Ewoks was painful to watch. Though I'll give him props for trying it at his age and with the physical issues he has.
But the NSA would be free to mention that fact and thus explain away their denial. But, they didn't.
What? And rob the NSA of the chance to say in public "See.. we aren't really that bad. And all those other companies were complicit with what we are doing".
It sounds like a classic deflection move by the NSA to try and move the conversation away from themselves.
Some of the more stressed components might find suitable low quality substitutes given that we will NEVER load the fuel or try and launch.
Until the day comes when the plucky hero/heroine realizes that a "nearly ready to launch" Space Shuttle is located at Exposition Park museum in LA, which will do very nicely for ramming the mother ship of the baby elephants, thereby forcing them into submission.

There is nothing illegal whatsoever, since the trades are public. It's just that the HFT optimized their routes.
Sure not illegal per se, but only a finite number of people can get that sort of access, so now the playing field isn't level.

That is all you have? Pathetic.

So where is the gratuitous sex between the Researcher and his mother? It can't be a Heinlein rip off unless there is gratuitous sex somewhere.

The first rule of NSA data collection is that you don't mention NSA data collection or the NSA .. ever.
Unless you want to be tried by a secret court and end up somewhere you really don't want to be.

Which is why I run Windows 7 under a VM on Mavericks (well actually multiple VM's with different versions of W7)
