  1. English-only implies not French on Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games · · Score: 1

    "English, motherf*cker, do you speak it?" - Jules

    I can only hope that the author's French is better than his English.

  2. Re:If you are asking this question on Best Grad Program For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No. You're wrong. Managers make decisions for engineers. That's what they do. And they cannot do that if they don't grasp what the consequences of their decisions will be.

  3. Re:Update on Fundraiser For "White Male" Illness Dropped · · Score: 1

    The only problem with giving the money back to the students is that they probably don't deserve that kind of reward for racist, sexist thinking. But they could scrap the whole charity thing altogether....

  4. Varsity sucks the fleas from a dead donkey's arse! on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm a 22 year old sysadmin at a university and part time student. I've been working at the university since May 2000 and got a full-time, permant appointment in December 2003.

    Working at the university has it's benefits, but at the moment I'm considering quiting so that I can just get on with my life. You see, I'm still trying to get a degree. I can assure you that I'll be out of there as soon as I get it!

    You see, at a university, you will not get the level of recognition, monetary or academic, that you deserve, unless you're part of the teaching staff and have a high academic qualification.

    The stress from the bussines world doesn't scare me at all. In my current job, it happens all too often that I have to sit for hours and fix some cock-up so that students can hand in their assignments, when I really need to work on that exact same assignment. And then everyone wants to know why my grades are shit and when I'm going to finish the degree!?
