In the UK at least it's illegal to employ a white male when a female or minority shows approximately the same level of competence. A white male must be without doubt the best candidate, by law.
Your defense of this ridiculous claim is to quote a wikipedia article that says:
. If the workforce does not reflect society's makeup (e.g. that women, or ethnic minorities are under-represented) then the employer may prefer the candidate which would correct that imbalance. But they may only do so where both candidates are of equal merit, and further conditions must be met.
Your increasingly racist, sexist, drivel goes completely off the wall here:

[all large organisations] are staffed by bullshit artists. They thrive and get ahead. The truly productive people wash-out due to the terrible co-workers and lack of support from management. I lived it and suffered the consequences.
But Gluen [sic] is no mere charter operator. In fact, as Al Jazeera reported, he is the head of a powerful movement in Turkey involved in “the most extensive and sensational corruption investigations” of that country’s recent history.
Indeed, the Gülen movement is "involved" in corruption investigations, in the sense that it's Gülen members who are accusing the AKP of being corrupt.
But this article seems to be being deliberately vague in an attempt to insinuate that it's Gülen that is corrupt.
I really wish for this reason Python had gone with a versioned binary name.
Using #!/usr/bin/python2 -ttu in a script makes me feel safe that it won't crash on someone.
It didn't?

What do you call it when AGW proponents use information they know to be incorrect? You call it the "Global Warming Scandal" from a few years ago,
What the fuck are you talking about?
however that never stopped the AGW crowd from saying "but their conclusions were correct, even if they manufactured the data"
What the fuck are you ralking about?
Only problem is, I haven't manufactured anything, and you call me a liar. It is interesting how AGW proponents are completely hypocritical about who is "lying";)
You provided this amusing factoid:
New evidence is that the arctic ice mass is much bigger. From the latest report
"It is the largest one-year increase in Arctic ice since satellite tracking began in 1978. "
without giving a source. Unfortunately for you the great gazoogle shows that the source you were quoting:
1. wasn't talking about ice mass
and
2. also said:
The experts added, however, that much of the ice remains thin and slushy, a far cry from the thick Arctic pack ice of the past. Because thin ice is subject to rapid future melting, the scientists said this year’s recovery was unlikely to portend any change in the relentless long-term decline of Arctic sea ice.
Well, considering the AGW propoents use 25-30 years of satellite pictures to make their proclamations, a blip on the geological scale, I'd say that is fair.
Of course you'd say it's fair.
You think that providing information that you know to be incorrect is a valid form of argument, hoping that no-one will check your sources.
Yup, a one year change means we can ignore the trend.
Splendid.
Funny you didn't quote more of your source which talks about extent, not mass:

No, it was redletterdave, as noted in the header(*).
Sockpuppet? False flag?
Or being thrust aside by a younger, fitter, more go-getting cow-orker?
Anyway, pull your socks up or you may end up being replaced.

Nae problemo.
A government-approved mobile operating system, especially in China of all places, reeks of its own backdoor exploits for governmental spying.

It's not a nit you nit. It reveals your post as the simple lie it is.
End of discussion you boring racist, sexist troll.

You've misread a "may" as "must".
I wonder why?

Hahaha. Dream on.
You missed the part where my anecodote confirms his.
He saw other people do like me, just cruise in, "looking the part" and getting the job that took him 6 years to work his way up to.
Would Steve Jobs have tingled your spidey sense? Then it works.
What, you preferentialy hire Arabs?
The first job I ever applied for the two other candidates were a black guy and a woman.
I'm a white man.
Who got the job?
Am I dumb enough to imagine that I was clearly the best candidate?
Not very long.
Um...22 years next Tuesday.
Noob.
Replace them with Eliza.
"My head hurts" with "Why do you say your head hurts?" A possible response to "My mother hates me" would be "Who else in your family hates you?"

Government is not magic.
So, once again American exceptionalism rears it's head - Americans are convinced that they are uniquely incompetant at things others take for granted.
I am a public school chearleader.
So, okay, one thing public school never taught me was how to spell. :-(
Years ago Lester Maddox said that if you want better prison systems you need better prisoners.
Naturally everyone had a cow, but he had a point.
So. as we all privately thought, American men a really into gay rape?
Nice to see it confirmed.
(Who is Lester Maddox? ... wikiwikiwki... Ugh, some kind of racist shithead.)
Also never seem to attend public schools. Usually these cheerleaders are wealthy, and wealthy families tend to use private schools.
I am a public school chearleader.
My grandparents attended public schools.
My parents attended public schools.
I attended public schools.
My children attend public schools.
I don't know what you think is wealthy (about 100 KEUR/year in my case).

How about no more taxes? Or at least making it easier to avoid some of the taxation.
So you agree with Stross. The "rebuttal" didn't last long, did it.

HTH HAND.
-40F == -40C. Clearly a pedant had to bother putting in the name of the scale used.
Now what's that in Kelvin (K)? That's what this pedant uses.
Cheers
Jon
If, as you claim, you use Kelvin, then you know what -40(F/C) is in Kelvin.
That idiot had lots of warning. Aluminum will require inspections with florescent dye, or you will get no warning when metal fatigue gets it.
