  1. Re:Holy JESUS on Goldman Sachs Code Theft Not Quite So Cut and Dried · · Score: 1
    Mmmmm I think I could pick up what they need. I don't have it NOW and certainly aren't in the market for 14 hr days.

    But it does make me look at a lot of the development positions in the trading industry in a little bit of a different light.

    $1.2m a year to PROGRAM??

    I'm in the wrong industry vertical.

  3. how does this get around specific gravity? on What Questions Should a Prospective Employee Ask? · · Score: 1

    This method's fine if dilution works, but specific gravity still fucks you I think.

    Grab a seat there, boy. Want some dinner? Grab yourself an egg roll. We got everything here from a diddle-eyed-Joe to a damned-if-I-know.

    No thanks.

    GHETTO DRUG LORD
    No thanks? What does that mean? Means you ate before you came down here? All full. Is that it? Naw, I don't think so. I think you're too scared to be eatin'. Now, see we're sittin' down here, ready to negotiate, and you've already given up your shit. I'm still a mystery to you. But I know exactly where your ass is comin' from. See, if I asked you if you wanted some dinner and you grabbed an egg roll and started to chow down, I'd say to myself, "This motherfucker's carryin' on like he ain't got a care in the world. Who know? Maybe he don't. Maybe this fool's such a bad motherfucker, he don't got to worry about nothin', he just sit down, eat my Chinese, watch my TV." See? You ain't even sat down yet. On that TV there, since you been in the room, is a woman with her titties hangin' out, and you ain't even bothered to look. You just been starin' at me. Now, I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.

    I'm not eatin' 'cause I'm not hungry. I'm not sittin' 'cause I'm not stayin'. I'm not lookin' at the movie 'cause I saw it seven years ago. It's "The Mack" with Max Julian, Carol Speed, and Richard Pryor, written by Bobby Poole, directed by Michael Campus, and released by Cinerama Releasing Company in 1984. I'm not scared of you. I just don't like you. In that envelope is some payoff money. MyiPhone's moving on to some greener pastures. We're not negotiatin'. I don't like to barter. I don't like to dicker. I never have fun in Tijuana. That price is non-negotiable. What's in that envelope is for my peace of mind. My peace of mind is worth that much. Not one penny more, not one penny more.

  8. hi you're a callous douchebag on Security Flaw Hits VAserv; Head of LxLabs Found Hanged · · Score: 1
    It's not called that

    To borrow a hackneyed cliche: "Sex is like air, it's only a big deal if you're not getting any"

    regular sex does little to cure depression.
    More likely, the depressed individual will reach for any sort of escape (sex, drugs, alcohol, other) to alleviate said depression.

    Mostly it doesn't work.

  9. as a former Family Guy hater on Futurama Rumored To Return On Comedy Central · · Score: 1

    I think the "starter episode" should be "Wasted Talent". That will bring the appreciation of what FG was trying to do, and makes a lot of the other stuff more accessible.

  10. That's why Arrested Development failed on Futurama Rumored To Return On Comedy Central · · Score: 1
    The jokes built on each other to the point that anyone following AD through season 2 thought it was brilliant, while newbies couldn't get what the fuss was about.

    It was also the best show on television for a time despite that failing.

  11. David Foster Wallace wrote about Married With. . . on Futurama Rumored To Return On Comedy Central · · Score: 1
    I think DFW was too smart for his own good, but he asserted that Married With. . . Children was an ironic self parody of the sitcom.

    I was kind of blown away because that seemed way too smart/subversive for such a low-brow show.

  18. one of the major problems of Microsoft on Human Language Gene Changes How Mice Squeak · · Score: 4, Funny
    One of the most major problems of Microsoft is their utter lack of drivers for new technology. This was highlighted in Vista - remember "works with Vista?" Well, I bought into the hype and installed it in my newly built Death Star.

    But guess what?! DRIVER INCOMPATIBILITIES! It must have been a memory leak or something, because when I turned the thing on "low" and aimed it at Alabama (that'll teach you to deny my MBA application!), rather than disintegrating the state, it covered it in peanut butter.

    And not nice smooth peanut butter, either. Some extreme chunky variety that really didn't harm Alabama at all.

    So fuck you, Microsoft, and your shitty drivers.

  19. I pirate rarely on The Sims 3 Racks Up Over 180,000 Downloads Prior To Release · · Score: 1
    Just as a counter-example. I regularly buy albums from iTunes, games from Steam/Impulse, and I'm also not averse to downloading a record or two.

    I don't do it very often at all; I think I pirated 5 albums in 2008, and no games

    Honestly, I wish I'd pirated World of Goo. It was way too short for $20 I thought.

  20. OneNote's pretty awesome on Microsoft Rebrands Live Search As "Bing" · · Score: 1
    I don't know if it counts as something as generic as "technology innovations" but it's a damned fine piece of note-taking software.

    Pretty much the only app I wish I could have on my linux box, and have spent time looking to replace (unsuccessfully)

    Two distinct genealogies for Mary, with a differing number of generations. Matthew and Mark I believe? May be Luke.

    How about when man was created - before or after the animals? The J thread and the E thread contradict each other right in Genesis.

    In fact, tons of contradictions can be found just by following the J vs E threads in the OT - Noah is another easy one (was it 2 of each animal, or 2 of most animals and 7 of some others? J and E contradict each other here)
