You completely lack critical thinking skills. This guy had killed numerous cops already, and was threatening to kill more. Negotiators had been communicating with him for hours, so its not like police didn't have some idea what he was thinking. People like this typically don't plan on surviving the encounter, so why should he have been allowed to take out a few more cops rather than simply being blown up? This was by far the safest way to end things, for everyone who mattered.
Wait a minute, so you're telling me that some dodgy, illegal (in the United States anyway) gambling website hosted by a couple of YouTube clowns might not be legitimate? And that I shouldn't just send them my money, in hopes of winning big?
Companies prattling on about being "leaders in the fintech space" are simply selling huge heaping piles of bullshit. Just like "cloud" and CRM salescreatures of prior years.
That's because whenever a government agency decides to "save money" they do so in the dumbest possible way, which almost always costs them more later. Not that corporations never do this, but with government bureaucracies they seem to be a special kind of stupid.
Yeah I've been paying my bills on my own for 20+ years now without giving companies direct access to my bank account. I'll be just fine, but thanks for your empathy and concern.
Find me a cable company I can trust and I'll switch in an instant.
Damn it, look what you did. You brought up the McDonald's Hot Coffee lawsuit on Slashdot, which always elicits 50+ posts of pedantic nerds re-debating the merits of the suit. Let it go, people. That was years ago.
Backwards 1990s way of working. Modern development happens way faster than this, plus many things now are cloud-based. How exactly do you do web development without internet access?
I see you missed that part about "The pile of people Microsoft just laid off were definitely in the top half if not the top 20% in their respective fields"
Funny how all of the "evidence" you cited comes from ultra-left-wing sources.
Would you consider foxnews.com to be a credible source? I highly doubt it. Yet you have no problem linking to salon.com, one of the left-most publications in existence.

"If a shooter is holed up and alone, can they be qualified as an imminent threat to life?"
In this case, definitely yes. Obviously a blanket judgement cannot be made for all cases. Each situation is entirely different.

Wow, I learn something new every day!

You should patent this idea.
The "don't taze me bro" got exactly what he was looking for: attention. He made damn sure someone was there to record it.
Good luck there buddy. I'm sure you'll do awesome against the Apple lawyers.

This is why you don't give asshole companies direct access to your bank account.

I only need $32K per year for living expenses in Silicon Valley.
So you're homeless?
And if the dumb hipster designers would quit dumbing down the UI, making it devoid of useful information.

Does it work differently in any other country?
The more expensive laptops still have all the same shit installed. Nice troll.
" Unsecured creditors are higher up on the BK ladder than employees."
Could you be any more wrong if you tried?

A verbal agreement is only worth the paper it's printed on.
Why not just keep your phone in a Faraday Cage at all times?
Does not apply to members of congress, obviously. Just the worker schmucks.

Local car dealers constantly work with city officials behind the scenes to make public transit fail.
