If you post something negative in your blog about something/someone in your place of employment/education, and someone reads it that either likes the person you're ranting about or dislikes you, they will report it. Students read other students' blogs, coworkers read each others' blogs.
And chances are, you'll never know who reported it. I know a girl who got fired from her on-campus admin job because she posted some (rather mild) comments about her boss and someone told the boss. She suspects a catty group of girls, but she'll never know.
According to the first article, the island represents "massive revenue potential". If there was someone insane enough to buy a few bytes for $26.5K, there quite likely are at least a few people who are insane enough to buy property lots from him.
The premium article, naturally, is the worst of the bunch. It reads like the introduction to a Software Engineering textbook, padded with endless definitions of "regression testing", "open source", et al and contains almost no actual content. It may be interesting to the Economist's readers, but I doubt it is to very many people on Slashdot.
the GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB, with the best price/performance going to the 6800 128MB. The 128MB version is $150 less than the 256 Ultra and only did significantly worse in one category of one game - Farcry 1024x768 with 2.0 shaders.
It's much harder to find people who are intellegent and creative than to find people who can just get stuff done. You likely need both qualities to be hired at Google.
Google won't be hiring everyone who does sufficiently well on the GLAT. It's not a horrid idea to try and get smart and creative people interested first, and then weed them out from there.
"Booo!"
"Booo!"
"That was the worst thing I ever heard!"
"It was terrible!"
"Horrendous!"
"Well, it wasn't that bad."
"Oh, yeah?"
"There were parts of it I liked."
"Yeah I liked a lot of it."
"Yeah it was good."
"It was great!"
"It's wonderful!"
"Bravo!"
"More!"
"More!"
"More!"
"More!"
Whoever wrote this has a great sense of humor. There's a number of things snuck in here and there - I read through a second time just to try and catch the humor.
I would like to emphasize that some foreign language skills plus computer skills can make you VERY valuable to the right employers, especially eastern languages like Japanese/Chinese/Korean. Many positions require (near) fluency, but the pay is good and there's little compitition (in my experience).

1 and 2 were never real rules anyway. 34 is the only true rule.
Tag suggestion: preys
A review that begins with "not batting an eye as we eagerly slided the player down our pants"? Even slashdot has standards.
If I recall, The Hammer had something to do with these regulations.
He advertised exclusively in upstate NY but never set foot out of Florida.

Or spent $8000 to cover up the breast of Lady Justice, if you need another example...
How about:
"In our industry, one doesn't make hostile moves because our value lies with lying to people."
It's terrorists, obviously.
Go figure.
He could end up making us look like the fools.
The link died so fast that even the Coral cache is the error message.
Evolution has no purpose. It just is.

It saddens me that people like this are considered "experts" worthy of testifying before congress thanks to the fundies being in control.
Also, remember 90% of statistics are invented to suit your point.
If you ask many (me included), Broken Saints *is* sludge. I can't imagine anyone actually paying for it.
"We grind employees until they quit" becomes "mediocre performers are not tolerated".
"We force everyone to work insane hours whether they like it or not" becomes "employees work long hours because they love the company".

If he didn't, the government would just take it in taxes - might as well do something that makes you look good instead, right?
You'll find few multimillionars or better that don't donate a ton to charity - they desperately need the tax break.
The videos still download at over 1.5MB/s. That's going to be a hefty bandwidth bill.
Or maybe just fertilizer.
