And the one where if you post a reply or follow a link it takes you to the top of the page when you come back. Does any other site do it? There might be a reason for that.
On the pro side, it would allow us to see the networks of mutually supporting sockpuppets that keep the creimer trolls and AmiMoScope high enough to post.
The downside is, like others have suggested, that it would set off a retaliation war.
The best thing to do is reintroduce proper metamoderation, where the moderation is judged and not the post.
I was thinking the same thing. GP's premise seems to be based on the assumption that the Earth has always been how it is now. I can think of one pretty major thing where that definitely isn't the case.
In fact, the definition of extremophile is largely subjective. They could say the same about us: how do they cope with the cold, and all that poison in the air?
Anyone remember the emotional intelligence fad back in the old days? There was a best-selling book which I confess I have, somewhere.
In a nutshell it was basically "You might not be able to find your toes - let alone count them - but if you can smile nicely and tell people what they want to hear you can have a good career in sales/politics/management,"
Your telepathy skills need some work. A bunch of shysters called Cohen & Grigsby offer seminars on how to game the system. It's pretty famous. Or rather, infamous.
The H1 was created as industry said the USCIS is slowing down hiring too much for Greencards and the companies needed a faster way to get foreigners over here to work. It was also part of the WTO negotiations where India bargained for access to the US services market in return for US companies' access to the Indian domestic goods market.
Interesting. Why is it then that of the couple of dozen H1Bs I knew back in the 1990s none were Indian? They did it as a favour to the British, Dutch & Germans, perhaps? How kind.
Some staffing agencies seek hard-to-get H-1B visas for high-skilled workers, only to contract them out to other companies. There's nothing inherently illegal about contracting out visa recipients, but the workers are supposed to maintain a relationship with their employers, among other requirements.
The employer is the agency. It's no different to what Toilet & Douche, Cowboys & Lowbrows, Pricey Whorehouse or any of the others do.
There are problems with the H1B system, but this ain't one of them. Make the applicant actually have the skills requested so they can't put things on to block locals - "must be an astronaut & Olympic medallist in 17 sports, plus an Oscar" - and have the applicant own the visa so they aren't captive.

I assumed you moved to a systemd based distro and there was a missing unit file.
That's like saying height doesn't matter as long as you're tall enough.
I thought a ten year sentence was something a judge hands out until I read that post.

You could fix the asshat(TM) quotes bug though.

And for retarded shit like that.

It's debatable whether anybody does.
They brought in a new sysadmin who was recommended by the editors.
Maybe they're using an old phone as a webserver?

Does your definition of "friendly" include the presence of free oxygen?
Are you saying that they *are* all smart? Because that's not what the dictionary - or my experience - say.
Or are you saying that they might be, but they might not? In that case you aren't really saying anything.
You reckon? I've met a few but never one that was really justified.
Usually, they'd just been there a long time and/or survived at least one major reorganisation.
How did it go? Did they decide that it was your fault for not having a "can do" attitude?

"Half the work is debugging the spec."
I forget if it was Isaac Newton or Ben Franklin.
The ones with the smallest tits?
Was there a single point of disagreement? And did you make up afterwards?

Their legacy remains, hewn into the living rock ... of stonehenge.
Comprehension fail. He says that someone else claimed to have passed one, so it's that someone who thinks it.
Imagine I say that my science teacher told me had a bottle of phlogiston in the storeroom. It says nothing at all about my opinions on it.

What the hay. A good time to bale out, I think.
"Cryptographic information" sounds like information about encryption. Do they mean "encrypted information"?
