  1. I can't speak for Intercept, but it's typical theodp.

    If there's no proof of corruption, that's proof of a cover-up. Plus the shadows are wrong and steel doesn't melt.

  2. Or a hipster brat who bought an AWS instance with his mom's credit card.

  3. Wrong. It's actually pretty much the same in the UK. There's a lot of controversy over this in the construction industry at the moment.

    P.S. before pontificating about language maybe you should learn the difference between "then" and "than".

    I bet you know all the verses to "Kumbaya".

    Back in the real world, if you accept that appearance is a crude proxy for genetic makeup, and people of the same race tend to appear more similar to each other, any gene that caused people to favour people similar to themselves would have a huge survival advantage.

    If Linux wants to be a main stream OS, then it needs to be more (non-power) user friendly.

    It should ideally work like this: you download it, put it on a USB stick or a memory card, plug it in your 'puter and away you go. They could give it a nice friendly name, maybe a herb or a chewing gum flavour.

    But no, the neckbeards don't like that because it's not "733t" or something.

    I think it unlikely that one would be able to close an account and walk out with the equivalent of millions of dollars.

    Depends how much of it you "accidentally" leave in the manager's office.

    P.S. if he says he needs some extra to cover "fees and expenses", he's not ripping you off. That's for the police chief.

  9. Another thing they do is employing fucktards who don't know the difference between "formally" and "formerly".

    While reading /. you aren't breaking anything, giving incorrect information, or making unfeasible promises that someone else will be expected to fulfil.

    Based on some of the oxygen-thieves I've encountered that puts you in a respectable lower-mid-table position.

    I'd also question the contribution to society made by most people's employment.

    I reckon 10% of employees don't even contribute to their employers, let alone society. If they did absolutely nothing, it would be a bonus - other people could do something useful rather than fixing their fucked-up shit.

  15. And yet most Americans can't tell the difference between it and Socialist Worker.

    That means you end up working your entire life in an unskilled job because you can't afford the risk of starting your own business, or going to school to learn new skills.
