    What's the point of that? They won't obey any of it.

    Correct. If you eat out of dirty dishes chances are you'll get a dose of Montezuma's revenge and the pounds will literally fall out of your asshole.

    Some of them *write* better than you, though. Uppercase for names of countries & their derivatives.

    With open source, you have the option--no, the power--of getting a second opinion. From someone you select and fund, instead of whomever the original vendor hired.

    Better yet, from one of their competitors.

    what's hilarious are the whacked out ideas europeans have of socialism.

    We're perfectly aware what it means. People on your side of the pond use it to mean anything you don't like. If I was you, right now I'd be cursing Craig Joubert, the neighbour's dog and the weather for being socialists.

    'nazi' literally means national socialist.

    Greenland literally means "A country that is green". Doesn't alter the fact that it's predominantly white.

    There is a connection, anybody know what it is?

    Then there's the insane social and economic policies of places like sweden, where man-hating feminists rule the roost, and citizens pay 75% of every kronor back to the state (50% income + 25% vat).

    You can't just add percentages like that. Protip: when dealing with percentages, consider what they're percentages of.

    If the people you select aren't on average statistically representative of those groups who bid

    Nobody said anything about selection. Go fuck your strawman (sorry, strawperson) and burn it - not necessarily in that order.

    then it means you're selecting people based on their genitals.

    No it doesn't.

    Do you claim that the NBA (and NFL) selects based on epicanthic folds?

    You should really consider choosing people based on their skills, ability and qualifications, not on arbitrary accidents of birth.

    Why are you saying things you don't believe? Nutbag.

    Systemd has it built-in. However it stores them in binary (when it stores them at all) but this is better because text is for luddites.

    By "standardized curriculum" do you mean what they should know is mandated (e.g. factoring quadratics), or that plus the method (e.g. by drawing a face), or the preceding plus they use a specific textbook?

    People seem to use the term to mean different things, and I'm not sure which (if any) is correct.

    I hope that they'll give preference to projects that are minority friendly. Not giving such a preference would be tantamount to reinforcing the phallocratic caucasiopatriarchy that dominates the IT profession today.

    Which isn't what happened.

    The fact that such a thing is even possible could be taken as a metric of just how broadly the Internet has affected our lives.

    Not sure what you mean by this, if indeed it means anything more than "life is like a glass of beer". There are at least four interpretations.
