    That's nothing new. Consoles and PCs have been warping time and reality for decades.

    That's nuttin', St. Jobs has warped reality for decades.
    The residual field is still being felt years after he expired.

    I wonder if the Nazgûl of late is as persistent as Nazgûl of old?

  8. not even rock star on Laid-Off IT Workers Worry US Is Losing Tech Jobs To Outsourcing (www.cio.in) · · Score: 2

    A coworker in my former life was doing jobs of two for pitiful pay. One day when another coworker left, she was told to do the job of the departed in addition to the two she was handling. When she refused, she was written up for insubordination. A week later, she landed herself a job with normal work load and 50% increase in pay, and promptly left. That company ended up hiring three people each with higher than what she was paid to do the work she did.

    The one thing I know is you can not have a rational discussion with them about gun control. They genuinely believe that the right to bear arms is a good thing and the deaths that result, while tragic, are the price of freedom. I realise that any critique of US gun control or freedom means I will now be modded down.

    People with hate in their heart will just as easily use a machete, a baseball bat, a crowbar, or even a vase or broken beer bottle. Gun control is irrelevant for this discussion.

    "Well, the best defense is a good offense. Do you know who said that? Mel the Cook on Alice."

  12. companies forget that loyalty goes both ways. when management demonstrates zero loyalty to employees, employees felt compelled to reciprocate. the first lesson learn by their cheap guest worker replacement is the very same.

    With an small download cap!

    In USA, we much rather charge more for less than build out infrastructure.

    Ability to doublethink is highly valued in the legal profession and in politics.

    I'll admit, since I started aggressively using Yahoo's kludgy abuse reporting system, I'm seeing a lot less spam from the "at yahoo dot com" domain. Will this incentivize the current leadership at Yahoo! to finally fix their busted crap?

    You forgot to mention that, at least by default, they are toggled to the "don't kill all humans" setting.

    The problem is they hired the cheapest programmers they could find in India and between when the specs where developed and the programmers got them that setting got changed to "kill all humans". You get what you pay for when you just base quality of the programmers on how little they cost.

    I am just waiting for a disgruntle coder to slip in "take a chance" in their programming...

    Remember this company used to be called GoldStar, best known for substandard product and nonexistent customer service in the 90s. The brand name was so thoroughly trashed they renamed themselves LG.

    I'd pay triple for a car with that feature, so I could run over retards and then say "It wasn't me, my automatic car did it, sue them.".

    Considering that the vehicle will probably have wireless network to facilitate over the air firmware update, I bet real money some 1337 h4x0r script kiddie can't resist the idea of changing that 5 mph to 50 mph... somewhere there will be bookies taking bets on how far the the ... target flew following the impact.
