Being good at making and delivering coffee says a lot about how you well you'll do in the future - as an errand boy.
Yes, it's nice to stroke your ego by having a young person act like your slave, but if you think it has some professional purpose you're just lying to yourself.
Yes, MS should have hidden it in a shell company that was hard to trace back. Then they could get a loft and hire some trendy interior decorator to design the layout. Then they'd need to hire a 20-something male model who can talk technology to be the "founder". Kind of a "Jobs" the next generation.

Anyone who gets 2/3rds of their previous salary in unemployment benefits wasn't making much money. There's a fairly low maximum payment you can get from unemployment.
"They have the moral right to point fingers because they took action."
Well, people don't always agree about what is or is not moral. In my book if you've been doing something wrong for a long time and just stopped it, it's time to hang your head in shame and hope for forgiveness, not to act self-righteous about the fact that you've cleaned-up your act.
Of course, MS is a competitor so it makes the holier-than-thou attitude even more swarmy.

You misunderstood. He wasn't trying to break into the assholes industry.
If a high school student can afford all that stuff working 30 hrs/week at minimum wage, they must be spending a lot more years there than I did.
Why, do successful people in the film industry adopt young Jewish students interested in film even if they are christian themselves?

"Would you like to explain the technical process by which they managed to cause everyone to go gaga?"
If we knew we wouldn't tell you. We'd be too busy starting the next Apple.
You make it sound like a poorly-shaped dildo.

You mean the pre-iPod market? What makes you think they failed?
I know I like to have a markup language at my side while watching TV.
Yes. I hope that phrase was an attempt at humor rather than an indication of Slashdot editors lack of knowledge about the history of computing.

No, just the machine.
"because enough monkeys pounding on typewriters will eventually write Shakespeare."
Yes, but who wants to volunteer to be one of the monkeys who read through the results looking for Shakespeare's works?
After all, they're both mythical beasts.

Sorry, you have to obtain the incriminating photos of government officials before you submit your application.
But first, the tranya.
