  1. Re: Slippery Slope on Mark Zuckerberg Confronts 'Hate Speech' In Germany And At Facebook (csmonitor.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not against "brown people" wanting a better life, as long as they work to pay for it. I am against being charged with yet more taxes to pay for they style of life, which is quite a different thing altogether. However, I do not mention only money there. And you are comparing too different things, we are comparing a different generation that came to work, to the current sad state of affairs where their middle class is paying a fortune to be smuggled to Europe because social handouts are better than the money they earn.

    While ironic or not, I also share his sentiments; and to further add to the question: the problem of that people is not the magical/cursed land where they live, but their culture. They cannot fled from themselves. Opening the floodgates here just means Europe will become another middle east. The system they pretend to mooch on is also supposed to work because people basically lend/pooled money to it in order to support themselves in illness and old age, and has simply not the resources to be (ab)used and leaking money in large scale to people who never invested a cent on it. Lets be realistic, it is called social support, not "free money from baby Jesus".

    You and other people please keep your eyes open. In Calais the majority of them were not syrian, but African. The media shut out filming them after a while just because of that. There are Iranian, Ethiopian, people from Malawi... it is all the floodgates open, no due process, no passports, all them entitled to go to El Dorado of the UK for the good life. Even as of this week, they interviewed a black guy here (syrian you say), that said verbatim, "we are all here in camps, and we ought to choose the country of our camps. If it were not to go to Britain, I would have stayed put in my country."

  11. We have all seen questionable things on Most IT Pros Have Seen Embarrassing Information About Their Colleagues · · Score: 1

    I have seen many funny things, and that even without trying hard, most of the things accidentally:
    - the manager that went all day long looking at tranny porn instead of working;
    - the secretary that had viruses with horse bestiality all over her folders;
    - the HR department that left a text file with ALL the salaries in a public folder;
    - the department that used the bank transaction system as a games console;
    - the consultant that used to spend the billable hours playing galaxians;
    - the ISP were 90% of the users had the same password;
    - people using sex meeting sites at work;
    - people running file sharing servers at work *extensivelly*;
    - users sending their VISA cards over the email system;
    - workers running joke emailing lists enterprise wide and then complaining about "email not working";
    and so much more. I actually preferred I had not stumbled over those things.

    I do not have an idea if Jobs had a technological vision. What I know for sure is that while he was a douchebag, he had charisma. He lusted for perfection. He was maniac in what touched organisation. He managed to get people doing what he wanted. He had presence. He had something that definitively captivated audiences. Now, the last WWDCs have always have some major glitches. Heck, either it was them crashing all the time, or in the last one, not putting on time the current one, and the web site broadcasting the new, and Apple TV the one of the year before. Timezone glitches? (...) Especially in the last one, my wife was saying all the time...my God, are THEY ALL GAY? ...and ending that launching the Weekend from San Franscisco...amauteurish. Women seem to have a more developed eye for that. Honestly I used to come on as soon the job allowed me too to see WWDC live events, now excuse me...Gay pride has a corresponding event, and bands are for MTV. I wont be hurrying up to watch more WWDC events. Will read about them in Mac Rumours. About buying Apple products...I see no match for the iPhone, however may next notebook may run Linux.

    It is not about pedophiles in slashdot, bloody idiot. It is about the erosions of our liberties. It is about CSI and TV series brainwashing us the police can do whatever it wants without respecting the constitution and upholding the law.

It is about a morbid culture and society.
