    'Does your pussy do the dog' is a better song.

  2. Re:Ah, the 1:1 fallacy on Women Still Underrepresented in Information Security (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I was encouraged by my college instructors to become a school teacher

    You should have been insulted. Seriously, somebody suggesting the 'school of education' for a student is the same as saying 'this person is too stupid to get a real degree.'

    Schools of education have been the laughing stock of universities for over 50 years.

    These days, with ubiquitous computers, if a kid isn't programming well before high school, the ship has already sailed.

    You've clearly never worked on/in a hen floor/industry. 'Supportive team' my ass.

    Do you have the same reaction every time the eurotrash bitch that America doesn't have passenger railroads like they do? You should.

  7. If you only have one client, what you say is sort of true. That makes little difference.

    If you have many clients, _everything_ is different.

  8. Re:Health care cost too high if his wife lives lon on Work-Life Balance: Cryptographer Fired By BAE Systems For Taking Care of Dying Wife (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    'Late stage cancer' is code for hospice. Relatively cheap, as their is nothing to do but kill the pain.

  9. Fast food managers work 60-70 hours a week. Just about all of them. It's a shitty job for people with no education or skills to speak of. They don't have any better alternatives or they would be working those jobs. Give them credit for working, not whining. Fast food managers are also often the worst of the world's petty tyrants.

    If your kid is ever working as a crew chief in fast food and gets offered a promotion to Assistant manager. They should say no, it's a trap. Their hourly will go _way_ down. Only a tiny fraction ever make it to manager and only a tiny fraction of those ever make it to district manager (assuming it's not a single franchise, in those case _none_ make it to district manager.)

    This is /.

    I guarantee you there are people here who have worked on industrial robots and associated safety systems.

    Much more experts than some shyster writing a press release or reporters submitting the same as an article.

    She was working on a cell boundary and only locked out one of them. Part paths are not generally protected by safety doors.

    If only there was some way to flexibly validate strings.

    We'll have to wait for millennials to reinvent something like regular expressions (and announce it's a breakthrough, never before considered technique).

    Nobody expects the spanish inquisition. But we should have. Posting facts is clearly trolling.

    In further consideration; my original post was slightly wrong. There are penguins that live in Vatican City as well as priests.

    Whenever this ship hits a port, locals should ninja in and 'fix' the name.

  16. 'Collateral murder' was edited in a very dishonest way. It wasn't CGIed, but the conclusion they pushed was clearly false.

  17. Most German products are well engineered and thought out. SAP, not so much. It's not the best example.

    Rs were voting for Bernie the same as Ds were voting for Trump in the primaries.

    They were also not publicising things statements like 'I support Castro'. Bernie is unelectable.

    The Ds will more than likely nominate one of the mainstream candidates that stayed out last cycle (it was the bitches turn), but if they nominate pocahontas or bernie, it will be a bad skunking for them.

    'don't work'. Duh. In fairness, brainfarts happen when speaking at least as much as typing.

    Bang the enter key 5 times to activate the default buttons on dialogs, now say 'OK' five times. What is the ease of use ratio? Navigate to one field on a form that needs updating and update it with voice. Now do it with a mouse and keyboard.

    It's better than an onscreen keyboard, barely.

    If you can't type much faster and accurately than you can speak, you need to learn to type.

    In my experience, they also pay all or a good chunk of your tuition in the semesters you work.
