My bet is that you're at least as insufferable in real life as you are on Slashdot, which means I'd imagine that MOST people who spend more than 15 minutes with you want to lynch you, castrate you, draw and quarter you, or something else equally violent.
You're overlooking the fact that I was the token white dude in class. Since I'm also a fat white dude, violent-prone people thinks it's morally acceptable to target me for whatever sexual and/or violent fantasy that they're entertaining. I'm used to that.
I know I would cheerfully choke you out, and I'm a white dude.
Get in line. Another asshat wants to rape my mouth with his puny little dick.
Hmm... white man gets frightened being around black dudes and women... and yet nothing bad happens to him... sounds like the traditional tale of the white man's plight.
Nothing happened because the instructor physically intervened to prevent violence from taking place. College is supposed to be a safe place for everyone. Violence has no place in the classroom.
I think you still have to engage in some hardcore imagination to understand what it's like to be a black dude cast into a white ocean.
When I took black social studies in college, I was the only white dude in the class. A classroom discussion got out of hand and the instructor had to intervene when three black football players wanted to lynch me on the spot to atone for black subjugation.
When I took women lit in college, I was the only white dude in the class. A classroom discussion got out of hand and the instructor had to intervene when some of the women wanted to castrate me on the spot to atone for women subjugation.
I took both classes in the same semester.
I'm the only white dude in my apartment complex. I'm the only white dude on the express bus. I'm the only white dude at my job. I think I can relate to a black dude — in an ocean of brown people.
You got kicked out of university for playing too many games of Magic The Gathering? Maybe in your dreams.
Magic: The Gathering was huge back in mid-1990's. I had a bruiser (black and blue) deck that prompted my roommates to buy cards by the boxes to rebuild their deck.
You neglected your work, don't be a fool about it.
Playing cards into the wee hours can do that. Plus breaking up with girlfriend, running a Wildcat! BBS and hitting a wall in calculus. The 1994-1995 school year wasn't a good year for me.
My favorite Silicon Valley startup book is, "Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure" by Jerry Kaplan, about the first pen-based handheld computer in the late 1980's that got screwed over by Microsoft ("Why aren't you using Windows?!"), Intel ("Why aren't you using the 386 processor?!"), Apple ("We invented that with the Apple Newton!"), and IBM ("We don't know what we're doing but sign these forms anyway!").
It isn't that hard, it should take less than a minute.
True. But if you fix it for one person, everyone else you know wants you to fix it them as well. I've gone through that fixing PCs in the 1990's. When I announced that my going rate was $300 per hour, no one wanted to pay me and stopped bugging me about their PCs.
You know, if you actually tried being good at your job and working hard, you might be able to make more than $25/hr at a real job [...]
With 10 paid federal holidays, 20 PTO (Paid Time Off) days, and an extra month of pay as a Christmas bonus last year, I'm making $30 per hour.
[...] and not have to find ways of scamming $50 a month in advertising revenues.
Asshats like yourself have been driving people to my personal blog (click the Homepage link above my comment), where they can visit my author website, author profiles at Amazon and Smashwords, and social media channels like YouTube and Twitter. For the extra ad revenues and ebook purchases for this month, I thank you. Keep up the good work!
Trump, if we don't return to the Moon, the Chinese will carve "Made In China" into the lunar surface that can be seen from Earth. Wouldn't you want to see "Made by Trump" instead?
I know a kid right now who's literally _wiping old person ass_ for a first job.
I had friends who dropped computers for healthcare after the dot com bust. They make more money than I do but changing bedpans and wiping ass is all they do.
Wow. $50/month is all the incentive you need to troll Slashdot?
I'm actually tracking $75+ for this month and $100+ per month looks quite doable. For planning purposes, $50 per month is a conservative number. That amount will also offset the cost of my monthly subscription to The Wall Street Journal.;)
No wonder you are such a fat slob. Try standing once an hour instead instead of rolling those ham hocks to the candy drawer.
Just kidding, we know you eat it by the bag before it gets to the drawer.
My work office doesn't have drawers and the overhead has a bag of sunflower seeds. I don't allow food in my home office.
I read that the initial levels for the video game Doom were created on a grid pad and the coordinates for each wall or object defined in a text file. This was before level editors became commonplace.
I had to install ClearCase when I did help desk support at eBay. Half the time it didn't install properly, requiring a reimage of the system. If it did install properly, it didn't have the proper configuration to work correctly. The only thing worse than that was reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite.
Maybe diversification includes hiring whites, now?
Possible. I had interviews with Indian companies. I even had a job offer from an Indian company, but it was at a lower pay rate with no benefits and the other two offers I had were better than that.
creimer has a post quota on slashdot that he has to reach. Sometimes* that requires posting only vaguely meaningful content.

I'm not longer wasting my time on correcting the asshats who misrepresent my positions.
I believe the context to "LinkedIn" programmer" was "a programmer who got hired off of LinkedIn" and not "a programmer who works for LinkedIn."
I've worked on medical devices (as a hardware engineer) and the QA on them is astounding. So bugs like that are exceedingly rare in the final product, even if they aren't any more rare than elsewhere in the first prototype.
Assuming, of course, they're on a separate VLAN and a dedicated team keeps them updated. If they show up on the general VLAN, they become a vulnerability in the Nessus scan and need immediate removal. Especially the Windows-based medical devices.

I've seen this problem only on my iPhone. Not seeing it on the PC.
She's not a blonde like the majority of Fox women. I'm surprised she got hired in the first place.

How many wheels did you reinvent before you discovered that someone else has been there and done that before you did because you didn't know already?
You have a space between 'opinion' and '?'. This example of bad grammar has completely invalidated your argument.
I wouldn't go that far. A space between the end of string and the input question mark was common in some versions of BASIC. Old habits die hard.
Have you ever tried using GTKRadiant?
I've used the BSP Quake Editor during my Quake 2 days. I'm familiar with the all quirks of the editor and compiling maps.

Java is getting long in the tooth. Time for it to become the new COBOL.

If it's imitating you, even "Artificial Intelligence" will be too smart by half.
Most implementations of AI, at least when it comes to video games, stands for Artificial Idiot. Yes, my AI script will probably be smarter than me. :P
Well, at least we won't have put up with you much longer.
I'm planning to live until I'm 120-years-old. Since I don't smoke, drink and keep my pants zipped, I'll probably outlive you.
At three hundred and fifty pounds... you're not going to make it through your sixties.
That's what they said when I was 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-years-old.
Rage harder, keyboard warrior, that deflated prune you call a heart can't burst soon enough.
I haven't had high blood pressure in 30+ years and my heart beat on the treadmill is 132 BPM.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
That's my reaction when I saw garage openers on the Nessus scan.

No one ever told you about VCRs 20 years ago?
I stayed away from VCRs. Otherwise, everyone would want me to fix their blinking 12:00 problem.

So LinkedIn is working on medical devices now?
I believe the context to "LinkedIn" programmer" was "a programmer who got hired off of LinkedIn" and not "a programmer who works for LinkedIn."
