It has indeed been around for a long time. Some years much, much better than others. Unfortunately, over time, things got much less subtle, and far too repetitive.
I hold out hope that the two of them are getting air time not because they could win, but because they are more interesting than Clinton v. Bush. Plenty of time for that boring crap later.
Without knowing the GS/contractor divide at OPM, it's hard to say who is ultimately to blame. If OPM gave carte blanche to the contractor, the latter is generally the one at fault. If the government micro managed the contract and ignored suggestions, the blame is back with them.
No, I'm in agreement with you here. As much as I don't buy from ThinkGeek anymore (unless they have a really, really wantable T-shirt on sale*...because I'm cheap as hell), having something akin to an Amazon Locker is a boon and a win for them.
It's a heck of a smart business strategy and it's going to be interesting (to me at least) to see how successful it is.
*I have a "Fhloston Paradise" t-shirt, and alas, no one ever recognizes the reference. That causes me to be bummed in almost unreasonable amounts.
If you weren't too fucking lazy to read the article, you might know that it's a combination of $37 million and $20/share. You don't deserve your low ID.
While you were busy 'reading articles', he was busy getting a low ID. BTW, UID 1 never read an article.
It's Seattle. "a new neighborhood" means "30 more minutes from work, minimum".
To be honest though, I don't see why someone would be upset about the design of the homes... the buildings look fine, and don't even look particularly out of place for Seattle architecture. They're not old, that's about it.
'Old'? I bet our European friends will be laughing their asses off at this descriptor.
At least the political stuff, the spying stuff, etc. is 'stuff that matters'. This? Just bandwagon jumping clickbait. Is there no way this story could have been spun to include testing standards, analysis of effect on the game, or something even vaguely, remotely applicable to the audience of this site?

Vendors cannot be held responsible for stupid (or non-existent) engineering and policy.

Jim Webb doesn't strike me as particularly interested in the office.

Well the bureaucrats who are likely regulating this are probably overworked and understaffed. So it's unlikely they can effectively regulate it.
If they don't have enough people to help, maybe they should consider some H1B's to augment the staff?

I blame the immortal queens going around decapitating the other immortal queens.
"There can bee only one."
"Here we are, born to be kings, we're the princes of the universe!"
Ok, but how did it become fashionable to tie an onion to your belt?
I'll trade you some Glint for some Gleemonex
Are either of those like Plutonian Niborg?
I'm in favor of the doggy goggles, that would be awesome.
They exist.
Thanks. I had a feeling this was the case.
I'm too lazy to do the math, but how likely is a sample of 48 from the population likely to turn up that kind of accident rate?

It's the end of the world!
I feel fine.

By then, I'd usually lost patience and just turned to my vast collection of ASCII porn stored on a tape drive.
Those were the days......
The 'normal' level of vitamin D has also crept upwards over the years.
If you can't find a picture of me online with 30 seconds on the googles, you need to stop eating the paintchips.
Can somebody buy that guy some clippers or tweezers to solve his problem of having only a single eyebrow?
no, but mitt romney does?
No, but he can become one in the afterlife if he has enough wives on Earth prior to his death.
I would switch, but then I'd have to rewrite my hosts files.
