First of all, the end tag for bolding is this: . Feel free to use it. Second, don't think that I didn't notice that racial slur disguised as "laughter." That's against this companies values and mission statement. Come on, fella. Pack up your desk and get out of my office. You're fired. Goodbye, I won't miss YOU.
(See, I used your own end line against you. Man, I'm good at firing people.)
... so I said, "What do I care? It's only a little fertilizer!" HAHHAHAHAha..ha... whew! Yeah, that is pretty fun... oh, hello. What was your name again? Ah, it's not important. Look - your performance as of late has just been terrible. And susan down in accounting, well, she told me that she found you um, self satisfying yourself at your desk after hours. Well, guess what! You're fired. Get the hell out of my office.

It's the whole Netscape v. IE html tag thing (or Microsoft v. Apple v. *nix (insert favorite difference here)). They incorporate/add/change things in order to leverage their product. If they get something to be adopted that's exclusively theirs and people think it's super cool, they've instantly gotten a leg up. They don't care what a pain in the ass it is for the developers because developers will use whatever various protocols are popular (like focusing on DirectX or Glide instead of OpenGL or programmable vertex doo-ma-hickeys) because those manufacturers have a market hold and the developers want a piece of it. It's an endless cycle until everyone merges into one uber-corporation called "ALL (not the detergent)" and everyone has ALL brand socks and ALL brand computers that we type on to use ALL ONLINE to order more ALL socks (and maybe the DVD of ALL: THE MOVIE). Then ALL (the detergent) will sue them and make a fortune off royalties and... and...
...well, I'm getting ahead of myself. You're fired for trying to explain things rationally and undermining my authority. See Lisa at the front desk for the charred remains of your belongings.
First of all, this sort of filth is not the image we're going for in this company. Not to mention your unfair and unlicensed use of "New Slashdot Math" (50% man + 66% horse?) outside of a karma related function. That could get us sued! I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to take your considerable artistic talents (and by that I mean cutting and pasting someone else's ascii art) elsewhere. You're fired. Pack up your things and be gone by 5.
Now then, why exactly is the man naked and the woman clothed?
Good job out of you. Come on in, I'll have Betty make you some coffee.
In the meantime, is it my imagination or did this article just tell me how to place a file in the root directory of a webserver? If my employees ever did that I'd... well I'd.... fire them.
Your 219 comments and obviously decent karma? If you don't read it, what do you do - listen to it? You're only fooling yourself. Now get out of my office. You disgust me and you're fired.
I'll give you a great reason to go outside: You're fired. How's that? Now, go enjoy the sunshine and unemployment benefits. Maybe your next employer will be more lenient towards sixth post failing types.

By the way, this is the seventh post *and* you're fired. Not having a very good day, are you son.

I'm afraid you were close, but you assumed too much, and now your anonymous first posting legacy must come to an abrupt end. We've already taken all of your personal belongings and shredded them. Come on, I'll walk you to your car. You're fired.
What an unfortunate turn of events. You try to get a first post with #2000 and you end up short. You know what that means. You're fired. Get the hell out of my office.

Even your fancy foreign languages can't keep the truth that you've been outperformed in your job to get the first post. Come on, buddy. Pack it up. You're fired.
"Every manufacturer has had drive lines that sucked, and sucked badly. Most of them handle it poorly. And they all have lines that work flawlessly for most users as well. If you look over the last 20 years the drive that stinks rotates between manufacturers, as does the most reliable drive. The end result? Buy the drive that's priced right, has good performance, and keep backups. Because it's not a question of if it will fail - it's a question of when."
This is hands down the most insightful and true thing I've read here in a loooooooong time. Thanks for that.

In fairness, not a total dupe, but you're still fired.

Make a cursor theme that makes the cursor invisible or a single pixel or something. That's the easy way. And you're fired.

This is from the Linux-Kernel mailing list, not an Inquirer interview. Here is the post.
In celebration of this first post, everyone keeps their jobs tonight!

It's like no one is professional these days! Come on, pack your shit up and get out. You're fired.
