  1. Re:"Appeared" to be on Facebook Admits Flaw in Image Moderation After BBC Report (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. I would throw "three strikes" laws in with this as a subcategory of zero tolerance-type laws.

    So, would you say you have zero tolerance for zero tolerance laws?

    Two can play that game. "Younger applicants are lazy millennials. They don't have families, so they have no incentive to keep their job since we pay them dirt. They just go to the bar after hours."

  4. Re:Old = expensive. on Commentary On How To Make Novice Programmers More Professional (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it was fairly small.

    I once worked in a big software development division at a huge corporation and it was much like that. Employees are an expense not a resource, squeeze margins until they squeal. Hire contractors so they can be let go without any strings attached.

    When they moved on to offshore, I jumped ship... so to speak. I will not work for a company that does offshoring ever again.

    Funny sarcastic comments can be interesting.

    I learned early in my career that I don't want to work at companies that moan and whine about how much software staff costs. This extends to non-programmers as well. "Why should I pay for a professional QA person, when I can just pull someone off of the line and pay them peanuts?"

    I remember sitting in an IT staff meeting getting a lecture that we were lazy overpriced bums. "You are 20% of our staff, but make 50% of our wages!"

    Yeah, asshole, its because we have degrees (mostly 2 year, because they were cheap bastards) and your line people did not even graduate high school.

    I realized at that point that as a programmer, I do not want to work in IT ever again.

    Of course there has to be a limit, there is only so much bandwidth available. But, they shouldn't fucking advertise it as limitless when there is actually a limit.

  9. DU is kind of heavy though. I propose we refine it down to only the isotope U-235.

  10. Khaaaaaaaaaaan!

  11. Obviously we will use rockets to get the DU to the moon.

    You don't have to clock out if you just take a dump directly on your manager's desk. You can call it a "productivity meeting".

    I know the fire codes in my city specifically ban space heaters in office buildings.

    But everyone does it anyhow, because the building management keeps the the place ice cold. (I mean, except in the summer when the AC is "oh sorry it is 95 degrees indoors")
