I left a job once that I hated, and though I wanted to burn the bridges and give them a big middle finger, I took the mature route. I did my two weeks, and helped to close out some of my projects and give some training on specific knowledge I had.
Two years later I found myself unemployed with a low bank account and a couple of mouths to feed. The job market was crappier then than it is right now. They took me back in. I have no doubt about what would have happened if I had acted like an asshole.
Simple solution... just don't open your eyes until the deed is done. Save the screams of horror until after you get off.

I believe the core argument is that the numbers inaccurate. Not why they're inaccurate, but simply than they're inaccurate. It could be a simple piece of hardware used in a large percentage of the machines with some fault skewing the numbers.
The elections could have come out wrong without there being any kind of conspiracy. Failing that, if anyone wants me in on one of these conspiracies, Dunkin Donuts makes this great blueberry donut. Make sure we've got some of those.
I might have investigated more ways to get there if I hadn't been booted. I really wasn't mature enough 10 years ago to put in the effort needed for college.
True enough, though a determined soul could technically get to pretty much anywhere in NY without crossing the Hudson, though you might not necessarily want to.
I went to school for a little while at RPI (in Troy) and I always went up I-87 to get there, so Troy still counted as upstate for me.
Having lived on Long Island my whole life, upstate always meant (to me) any part of NY that I need to cross 2 bridges to get to. Or, in other words, anything past Tarrytown on the Thruway.
They do. I know of specific instances in the past where comments I made were 'silently moderated' (no reason for the mark-down given, the comment just shifted to zero somehow.)
That's got nothing to do with editors moderating. If I had mod points right now (and oddly I've been getting them WAY more often recently than usual, but at this moment none) I could select 'overrated' as the moderation option for your post and it would not list the reason next to the number. You'd just go down to zero.
However, if you click on the comment itself, it will list the moderations you've been given along with a very rough percentage of how much of each moderation your post has received.
It seems that you haven't had any recent zero moderated posts, otherwise I'd link to one of yours to point it out.
"'I know that the Minister for Creative Industries and also the Minister responsible for the industry are very happy to meet with him and stakeholders to discuss it. It's obviously an important issue. I know there's a lot of concern about it. It is, I think, right to say that the video games industry, or certainly a very substantial section of it, have made significant strides and advances over the last few years, but he's quite right, it's important that's maintained,' Blair said."
That just totally cleared up Blair's position for me. Glad he took the time to say that.
Wow, now there is an unsubstantiated leep if I've ever seen one. Geeks have genetic quirks? Smart people are automatically genetically defective? It would be about as fair and accurate to replace "geek" with "Democrat".
Actually this is the part he may have gotten right. My google skillz apparently aren't up to snuff to track it down, but I had (semi-recently, as in less than a year ago) read an article that showed that parents of autistic children were more likely to work in math or science related jobs.

It's the thing that all of the 'save file' icons look like.
I think my new word of the day is email.
Email: n, electronic mail. Contraction of electronic and mail. ex. Bob, did you get my email with all the blond jokes?
Mmmm. Email.

One thing that confuses me here is the 180 days and April 13th...
180 days from today is July 9th.
180 days before April 13th is October 15th.
And (just for completeness) April 13th is 93 days from now.
Is someone's math wrong at paypal? Or is this being reported months after the fact? Or what?
Yeah, I found it pretty remarkable that out of all the stupid things celebrities have said, this batch was the worst bunch of quotes they could find.
And she did actually say 'man-made chemicals'.
I like NYCountyLaywer...
Somewhat offtopic, but every single post I can remember seeing that references his userid seems to miss one letter. Country. Everyone does it.
Those are illegal. It's just that no one actually cares enough to enforce it.
It's possible. I've been tailgated when there's no room for me to go anywhere. I can't imagine what they might be trying to accomplish.
One is 'take this value and convert it to an integer' (your version).
One is 'take this set of bytes, assume it's integer data, and tell me what value you get when you dereference (their version).
They won't necessarily render the same result.
I haven't looked at the code, but depending on the type of X, it could provide some wildly different results.
I've always wanted to put Tetris pieces all over the place, especially people's faces.
Out of all of Microsoft's staff, you don't think there are at least a dozen or so gay guys?
Personally, I'm a good deal more worried about being eaten by DINOSAURS!
I went to RPI for a bit too in 91-92.
I'm a whippersnapper then... 96-97 for me.

I believe that would make Canada our second most populous state.

I thought it would really neat if your post went unresponded to, but the joke is probably way too subtle. So I replied instead.
Maybe you should just try and ignore it.
Maybe in America, however in the UK the common term is "photocopy/copier" and "tissue"
Don't blame us just because you have funny words for Xerox and Kleenex.
Actually, that's not too far from one of the existing approaches:
