  1. Lame for the sitters on Standing While Working Results in Better Work? · · Score: 4, Funny
    Please have consideration for the sitdowners before you ask for a stand-up desk.


    I sit next to a guy with a stand-up cubicle. The walls of the cubicles are about four feet tall so all day long there's this guy's head looking down on me. He's also a loud talker on the phone so there is a loud phone talking head staring at me all day long.


    Have I mentioned his sneezing, coughing and his constant eating of corn nuts? So I have a loud phone talking, coughing, sneezing, corn nut breath head leering at me 8-10 hours a day.


    Oh! and he's also a mouth breather.

    However, it's supposed to be a free world and if morons want to remove the bloody scenes from Saving Private Ryan, then they should be able to. This world is beyond retarded.
    Now I know why Bush sent thousands of American troops to their deaths in Iraq - he watched the bloodless version of Saving Private Ryan and thought "hey nobody died, I think I'll try that."

    I agree - freeze his head and when it becomes technologically possible, bring him back to life and stick the fucker in jail for the rest of his newborn existence. When he dies a second time, bring him back again. Repeat endlessly.

    I've had glasses since I was 11 months old, and as much as I'd like to get rid of them, getting flaps cut or 'ground down' just dont sound very appealing to me.
    The only pain I can recall from the surgery was some eyebrow hair was pulled when the doctor removed the eyepatch after the procedure.
  6. Re:Maybe I have a lack of knowledge... on Procurement Fraud in the IT Sector · · Score: 2, Informative
    How does this qualify as fraud? If I have a day job with Company A and form my own LLC as Company B that sells product to A, isn't that perfectly fine? I could see it qualifying as a "conflict of interest" by A's standards, but otherwise I see it as a regular business transaction. I mean, I have seen tons of companies set up so that the same person manages one business that owns some piece of land on which his other business, an accounting firm, pays rent back to the first, and those transactions seem legal. In the example given, there was some interaction with working for and selling to the government, which I could see as illegal, but in all other cases with private organizations, I would say that things are fine. Does anyone have any details on the legality of this action?
    From the article,"Typically, procurement fraud involves an employee working with an outside vendor to defraud his employer through bogus or inflated invoices, services and products that are not delivered, work that is never done or contract manipulation."

    Jesus H. Christ on a crutch... are you fucking dense or what? I didn't think anyone could possibly be as obtuse as you seem to be and still be capable of operating a computer.

    How on earth do you possibly equate the statement that "Redirecting a URL is not vandalism" with "It's ok to be a dick to your neighbor." Are you just pretending to be stupid to troll, or are you really that incapable of critical thinking?

    There are two statements made here, that you seem to have tried to graft together to support your ludicrous point.

    The first statement is "Redirecting a URL is not vandalism." It's not. Please tell me how you think it's vandalism. Once you have that thought in your head, try to keep it there while you go look up what exactly vandalism is. Now compare what it IS and what you THINK it is. Are they the same thing? Go ahead, give it a shot, I'll wait.

    Now that you've done that, I could have saved you some time, the correct answer is 'No, they are not.'

    Good, now that we've got that fact out of the way, lets see the other statement you are using in conjunction with the above, "So redirecting a DDOS attack from Blue Security to communityhosting.net seems to be consistent with your statement that it is not harmful or wrong."

    Where did I say that it is not harmful or wrong? Oh... that's right, I didn't. I said it wasn't illegal. I said "your neighbors will probably think you are a dick." I also said that it is unethical (read: NOT OK, duh) to do so.

    oh so great one, of which I am not worthy to dwell in your cyberspace.

    You're goddamned right you aren't worthy to dwell in my cyberspace. Fucktards like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer, much less on the internet.

    Your disapproval haunts me and leaves me flaccid, I fear I will not be able to perform my carnal duties to your wife. That saddens me because I so dearly wanted to be your friend.

    Ahh, a wife joke. That's almost as good as a "Yo mama" joke! Wow... dude, do you write your own material, or does someone from the 3rd grade write it for you?

    I know you wanted to be my friend, but I am far, far too manly for you. My balls are so huge they dwarf the largest ball of twine in Minnesota like the earth dwarfs the moon. They are so large, they have their own gravitational pull. There is simply no way a mere mortal like yourself could ever comprehend the entire granduer of my sac in one lifetime; it would take you at least ten. I don't have that kind of time... so no, you can never be my friend, nor can you ever know me. You are simply not evolved enough; you are not on the same plane of existence. You can not comprehend even a fraction of my awesomeness. I am sorry. I truely am... but you should probably just go kill yourself now... the crushing depression you will feel after reading my words that I have deigned to bestow up on you will eat at you for the rest of your short and pitiful life.

    Bow before me, and I may allow you to gaze upon a small portion of my granduer for a moment longer.
