    And not in the occupied part. Pripyat is up river from Kiev.

    From the "Raising things through the official channels is out of the question"... It seems quite possible.

  3. "Raising things through the official channels is out of the question"

    You can't even talk about it? Quit immediately. You don't deserve that kind of bullshit. Any company that can't talk about personel issues is not one you want to work for. Let them crash and burn.

    However, unless the douche is the owner's kid, I bet someone will hear you out. Start a new job search before bringing it up, just to be safe.

    That is exactly what I mean. I think it should be illegal to have deceptive marketing like this.

    Typical. Everything has "quantum" in the name to sound new and super high tech.

  7. They make people realize they don't care for giving these assholes money, and the warnings are a reminders to simply no go to the movies at all.

  8. Re:Heartwarming on Family Sues Apple For Not Making Thing It Patented (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of them either can't be built due to "Escher-esque" issues, or won't do what the patent claims if built, or contain text such as "given a frictionless bearing..."

    Oh so all those perpetual motion machines that have been patented are all ready to go? Cool.

    Right, so the existing military industrial complex doesn't have politicians in their pocket or gain taxpayer money either. Got it.

  11. Re:Good for SpaceX on SpaceX Moves Past Explosion With New Launch Plans (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because nobody at ULA makes any money, and they certainly don't have taxpayer paid launches.

    Might want to take a look at the dollar per payload on competing heavy lift platforms.

    They are trying to defend against Hawkeye.

  13. Re:Does it record? on Sling TV Accidentally Reveals Its Set-Top Box For Cord Cutters (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Sling silently dropped all support for their previous products (Slingbox) in the hopes of getting people to move to Sling TV. I wouldn't trust them even if it could record. (It can't, by the way.)

  14. Re:OTA programming + a la carte "premium" content on Sling TV Accidentally Reveals Its Set-Top Box For Cord Cutters (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Sing refuses to support their own app on desktop, which was pretty shitty to begin with.

    Do not trust them to make any promises.

    Coincidentally, I will be in DC next week. I would be right there to fight beside you.

    But I find most deniers are cowards and feel very brave on the internet, but in person will not say a thing.

    Exactly, I bet as people of that generation die off, there will be a new wave of holocaust denial. Or perhaps a strengthening of the current one as by Quakeulf as demonstrated.

    Sickening.

    Ancient history... you do know that people that there are people still alive today that were IN THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST?

  19. Re:Heard of "Check 21"? on Some Bangladesh Bank Officials Involved In Heist, Says Investigator (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It took a month of harassing the bank until they gave me my money back. In the meantime nearly every penny I had was gone. Luckily I make enough in a month to cover all my bills. In the end it was shaming them on social media that actually got a bank manager to call me.

  20. Re:Heard of "Check 21"? on Some Bangladesh Bank Officials Involved In Heist, Says Investigator (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It isn't the (eventual) recovery that is the problem. Its the fact that the system is so wide open that this can happen in the first place.

    All someone needs is your account number and they can empty your account. The check does not even need your (or your business') name on it.

    Banks simply have no interest in putting together a better system than the ancient check system.

    It is the same reason there is no security whatsoever behind paper checks. Bank's simply don't give a shit. It isn't their money.

    Interesting. I thought they would pay more like per-song like Pandora, but I suppose it makes sense for Amazon to do flat-rate bulk fee.

  24. Nice. The inversion is really a safety feature. Prevents the holder from being blown away, or the umbrella from being torn from his hands.

    Exactly. I don't understand why people don't see this. The contract makes sure the label makes money before the artist does. Those assholes will take any opportunity to screw over anyone, why would an artist trust them?

    I suppose once an artist gets a bit popular, greed takes over.
