I'm sure Darl and some of the other officers have a tidy sum stashed away. This will likely only be embarrassing for them and not an economic hardship. To get what they deserve, the Judge would have to go after Darl's personal assets and I thought that was only possible when a crime has been committed to "pierce the corporate veil".
Thanks for pointing me to that search engine. I quite like it. My plan is to use it for a week and see if I miss Google all that much. This is one of the coolest aspects of frequenting Slashdot; all the cool links and tools I would never find on my own.
I meant nothing condescending. You've read far too much into my post. I was laughing at the joke along with you.
You had pointed out the humor in the previous post and I pointed out the portion you left out. Don't worry too much; some ass-hat moderator flagged my post as redundant.
I think the real story is not that an unscrupulous company is defrauding customers of their rebates. What is interesting to me is that people seem to still shop at Fry's!!
That is one of two places I refuse to ever step foot in again. You should see the customer returns go right back to the shelf. And don't forget the frisk at the door. Yeah, they really value their customers.
Well the "Great Leap Forward" did cause major famine and death. Whereas in the Soviet Union there was a lot malice at work, the Chinese suffered from incompetence. The result, however, was the same.
3 megabucks per passenger would not pay for it even if they had the lift and an orbiting facility. Gosh, 2012? It is going to take longer just to figure out cheaper launch vehicles. Also the first time a rich "astro-tourist" gets killed (1st or 2nd flight), the whole operation sinks.
Now that that R&D has been sunk in these new devices, Asia can step in and clone everything for pennies preventing a dime of profit in the United States.
We will see Chinese-made disease breath analyzers in drug stores by Fall.
This is a clear example of galaxy reproduction by fission. Our very own Milky Way galaxy was spawned in this manner. Unforunately, no peer-reviewed journal has accepted my paper on the process yet. The old institutions are always slow to warm up to new theories.
Don't get upset with me but I seriously doubt the authenticity of this anecdote. If it is true, you have some serious deficiencies in management and development staff.
Marketers and ad agencies are very smart, and whatever conclusions they come up with about peoples' attitudes I, for one, will at least give serious consideration to
New Coke? Crystal Pepsi? KTM screwing McGregor and Boorman? You have to be a motorcycle fan to get this one...
Actually, you have to treat the devious wenches as lawsuit bait from the moment they set foot in your department
I concur wholeheartedly. I have witnessed people go down hard because the organization chose to prevent the possibility of a lawsuit by placating a female by firing a male for the most banal, unsubstantiated fluff.
My personal protection mechanism is to interact only much as necessary for me to remain employed. It's sad to act this way but reality is harsh. I really like women, too. There is just no way I can afford to jeopardize my livelihood on perceived harrassment.
People are no more satisfied now than they were during the rule of Rome
Which reminds me of Monty Python's "Life of Brian"..."what have the Romans ever done for us!?" The the members of the People's Front Of Judea respond "The aqueduct, roads, civil order..."

Very clever and very believable....too clever.
That noise at the door is the Government coming to confiscate your computer, incarcerate you, and stage a gas explosion at you home.
Talk to me when you do a Baudot/ASCII conversion for Ham TTY gear. Of course, it was in firmware and not written in C# but close enough.
:)
Oh, and I DID walk up to school both ways when I was a kid...in the snow
I got the joke and thought it was hilarious, even if the mods didn't.
Well, not so fast.

did you get ....."far too lightly" ?
Negative. Your information is incorrect.
I think the real story is not that an unscrupulous company is defrauding customers of their rebates. What is interesting to me is that people seem to still shop at Fry's!!

The M-60 was phased out. The new 7.62MM machine gun is the M-240G. It is an Austrian design and a good one.
Yeah, I did 20 in the Corps.
Othewise companies could allways sacrifice empleyess whenever anything goes wrong
Don't they?
Why, yes!
I did just install Adblock to my FireFox installation. Now I don't know why it took me so long to do it.
So yeah, that campaign is pretty much backfiring in their faces.
Well the "Great Leap Forward" did cause major famine and death. Whereas in the Soviet Union there was a lot malice at work, the Chinese suffered from incompetence. The result, however, was the same.
...Which they will reject out-of-hand. Remember, they play by THEIR rules.

Correct,
This is a clear example of galaxy reproduction by fission. Our very own Milky Way galaxy was spawned in this manner. Unforunately, no peer-reviewed journal has accepted my paper on the process yet. The old institutions are always slow to warm up to new theories.

Again, sorry.
Dude, come on.........
I mean I REALLY like women.

Crystal Pepsi?

I was wondering when political favors would get called. Took 'em long enough.
Write one. If it's good, sell it.

Sorry,
It is a CONST further up in the code.
