  1. Re:Grow up ... and learn about Engineering on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Becoming a Complacent Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    That's how virtually all development was done circa 2004. Maximum complexity was encouraged "so we don't ever have to change anything".

  2. Re: Seems reasonable on CBC Warns Canadians of "US Law Enforcement Money Extortion Program" · · Score: 1

    Back in the 80s it was decided by the U.S. courts that the constitution does not matter when it comes to the War on Drugs. Any law enforcement action that would otherwise be unconstitutional is O.K. in the name of the War on Drugs. Sure, this isn't precisely what the rulings stated, but it's what was strongly implied. For example, the 4th amendment does not apply if you are pulled over in a motor vehicle.

    Your remind me of those cowards spitting on soldiers returning from Vietnam. I bet you'd never have the balls to say any of this to an actual soldier.

    Actually I got quite a rise out of you, douchbag. Anyone can be anything they want on the internet, hence you are not from New York. Well, an upstate suburb perhaps.

    It is YOU who grew up in a lilly white suburb. All you know about minorities was spoonfed to you by liberal publications. You likely rebelled against your conservative parents and embraced all things liberal. I on the other hand grew up in numerous different places, and know that reality is often not politically correct.

    Be honest, have you ever actually hired someone that you found via your ATS? Nobody has.

    It's called being a realist, you moron. Reality isn't always pretty, or politically correct.

    Too bad the European pussies won't take care of any of the atrocities occurring right in their back yards, making America be the World Police by default. Europe had better be concerned about the spread of the plague of Islamism, since it's coming right into their countries.

  9. Re:This happened to me on 3 Recent Flights Make Unscheduled Landings, After Disputes Over Knee Room · · Score: 1

    The flight attendant was absolutely right. Do tall and wide people pay extra to buy clothes at the Big and Tall shop? Yep. Do fat people pay extra for more food? Yep. Cough up the $$$ next time you fly. But I do agree, you never should have had to share your seat with a fat person. Put the armrest down and tell her to pick up her rolls.

  11. Re:And well they should. on China Gives Microsoft 20 Days To Respond To Competition Probe · · Score: 1

    This only works in large CYA-driven companies where upper management is clueless to anything technological. In startups, there is no time for the blame game. Hence, startups tend to eschew Microsoft/IBM.

    Any version of IE is outdated. Why does anyone continue to use this POS?

  14. Re:Continuous improvements to IE for Windows 7 on Yahoo Stops New Development On YUI · · Score: 1

    The fact that your company is a dinosaur is not anyone else's problem. Microsoft does not care about losing your "business", which would consist of upgrading away from Windows 7 in 2019.

    Who would you rather have know your browsing history? Google or Microsoft. No way IE doesn't have some secret phone home feature.

    LOL, good luck suing Microsoft when Office fucks up and causes you some sort of damages. They are liable for nothing, and might eventually patch the bug if they deem it worth fixing.

    This stupid Republican troll once blamed Republicans for rent increases in San Francisco! As if Republicans have any power there whatsoever.

    This is one case where I enjoy seeing the lawyers rake in the money at the expense of their asshole clients (both sides). Why Apple and Samsung don't settle this pissing match is beyond me. This can't possibly benefit either company.

    Now that Comcast will soon be the nation's only cable company, why don't they just tell the networks they will no longer pay for their channels once the current contract is up? What are the networks going to do, lose nearly all of their viewers overnight?

    It's the airlines. The only "service" industry job where you can treat your customers like shit and keep your job. Well, that and working for Comcast. Any customer service oriented company would can this abusive bitch on the spot.

  24. Re:No real surprise on People Who Claim To Worry About Climate Change Don't Cut Energy Use · · Score: 0

    "Climate Change" has nothing to do with actually cutting energy use for big business. It only exists for big business to profit from trading carbon credits, etc. The price will be paid by the consumer, in the form of higher prices for everything you buy. Startup companies will soon be a thing of the past (except for stupid social networking/advertising companies), as only large established monopolies will be able to afford the required environmental impact fees.

    Whatever the issue, France can always be counted on to do the dumbest thing possible. Why does anyone even do business there anymore? The meager amount of business they would get can't possibly justify the hassle.
