    You should have been paid anyway.

    Double pay on overtime to ensure that if it's ordered then it bounces the cost. Triple if it's on weekends.

  3. It gives you cancer due to all the solvents.

    You mean that YouTube in reality now just WAS Slashdotted!

    Shouldn't that also be an 'Airplane' reference.

    And the modern mobile phone networks started actually earlier than that - in 1981, which means that it was 37 years ago.

    Why would I care? - I use Vim!

    But don't dare removing regexp from Vim.

    I don't need the live bookmarks, but the search function is needed often.

    I'd prefer if they remove the built in pdf reader instead and just stick with an external.

    That was still just code. Imagine to have to code around bad hardware designs.

    After which you get a new set of problems instead. A lot of people from the 'humanities' sector takes pride in not understanding technical issues and look down on tech knowing people. Especially if they are artistic designers.

    What's the problem with Concurrent Versioning System aside from the fact it's old and newer alternatives are better?

  14. Then you should set up a bot using the Microsoft Tay chatbot to do political calls promoting Nazis. Then that loophole would be plugged.

    At least the lawyer seems to be pretty smart for a change - let the user determine the number to call. That way a relative or the elderly care service could be called instead.

    That's at least going to be fun! As much as I agree about the existence of systemd being a headache for many you'd probably have better luck resolving it through other methods.

    Meanwhile - I think that Reiserfs went out from the kernel a while ago.

    I'm a user that only uses it as an address book and a lot of mails that appears are irrelevant contact suggestions along with the fact that the database is aged now means that I could lose it. The management of Linkedin should really consider that to make people stay it should be more strict and not suggest any random contact. It used to require intent to add a contact, but now it's going facebook. And I don't do facebook.
