    "Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know," insisted the girl. "Do people want fire that can be fitted nasally?"

    During a talk at a cybersecurity conference in New York this week, Alexander revealed his plans to cut 90% of the System Administration workforce

    DERP
    holy shit, why not give them a warning that you're going to kick their ass to the curb before security comes to their desk with a brown cardboard box. Yeah, that's not gonna piss any of them off before you cut off access. At least the private sector has that one figured out.

    Alexander needs to go, yesterday. He's more inept than Ballmer.

    Like most people I do have a problem with secret warrants issued by a secret court all authorized by a secret law that if not in violation of the letter of the constitution, is most definitely in violation of its spirit.

    All perfectly constitutional, authorized by the secret clauses in the secret Constitution that Nicholas Cage stole.

    A not-so modest proposal (not mine, just some dude with a space blog)

  8. your music is bad and you should feel bad on Comcast Working On 'Helpful' Copyright Violation Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    Dude. You just got old.

    That may be true, but THIS generation, music has gotten OBJECTIVELY worse. And that's not even touching the whole subject of no-talent autotune jockeys.

    no, it's either Octoflare or Coronal Snake Ejection this time.

  10. Doctor, Where? on Peter Capaldi Unveiled As the New Star of Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else find it hilarious that in the movie World War Z, he had a role where he was billed as a W. H. O. doctor?

    Doctor What?!

    also, "aaaahhh, bloody giveaway!"

  11. Americanized rubbish on New Doctor Who Actor To Be Revealed This Sunday · · Score: 3, Funny

    As long as he can yell " RUN! " and wave his SONIC SCREWDRIVER around like a bloody magic wand, I'm sure whoever'll be perfectly adequate.

    Is this one of those cases where the state allowed them to put a surcharge on customers' bills for years before they even built the plant?

    I'm pretty sure I saw a documentary on TV just last night about some guy that knocked a UAV out of the sky with an EMP gun.

  16. THIS SHIT, right HERE on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    want you to keep your schedule free so that they can move you around at their whim.

    This seems to be a common pattern with many of these SHIT "recovery" jobs. They don't want to give you full-time hours, because they'd have to give you benefits. But they don't want to give you a stable schedule so you can get a second (or third) job to make ends meet. McDonald's is the specific case I remember hearing a report about.

    If those rat-bastards want full-time availability, they should pay full-time wages.

  17. I have changed the agreement. Pray I don't change on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 2
  18. crap job better than no job doesn't make it good on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this, right here.

    Amazon is contracting these jobs out so they are distanced from the managerial abuses, lack of benefits, instability, and poor working conditions.

  19. doctors & lawyers, you're next... on Obama Praises Amazon At One of Its Controversial Warehouses · · Score: 1

    I thought the "middle class" used to be the shopkeepers.
    You know, the people the Amazons and Walmarts of the world put out of business in the last two decades.

    It does seem weird to have an author on currency, but whatever.

    Well, it would be more fitting to put great financiers that benefited society on their currency.
    They just haven't been able to come up with any suitable candidates yet.
