    Yes, let's honor a "man" who was a billionaire who refused to acknowledge his daughter's existence for 17 years, while she and her mother lived paycheck to paycheck. While this was going on, he named a computer after her.

  8. /. is now a Party Apparatus on How the U.S. Sequester Will Hurt Science and Tech · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "After all, the sequester is just one-half of 1 percent of GDP. It amounts to 1.4cents on the dollar of nondefense spending, 2 cents overall." Even with it, this year's expenditures are still more than was spent on last year's federal budget. A possible 5% reduction in discretionary spending after a 14% increase since 2008 will surely mean calamity: parents will be eating their children, Westboro Baptist and the KKK will merge, we'll finally know what the definition of is is, etc.

    They told me if I voted for Romney, we'd see an administration that threatens journalists like Bob Woodward, and they were right!

    >US military glamorizing their profession through television and news adds.

    You're right. They shouldn't advertise. The gubmint should make service mandatory. This would only be a bad thing when those republicans are in office though.

    >stop putting rifles into the hands of teenagers

    The average age for most military personnel is nearly 30. http://www.statisticbrain.com/demographics-of-active-duty-u-s-military/

    The largest number of troops are stationed in first world Europe, South Korea and Japan.

    You're reasoning isn't consistent but at least you're conformist rebel attitude is.

    The first is that the Goracle accepts $100,000,000 of dirty oil money. The second is they closed the deal before the end of the year to avoid higher taxes. I thought democrats wanted higher taxes on the wealthy?

  14. HR will be HR on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 5, Insightful

    HR is always a bunch of ass-sucking sycophants. That is true in every industry. Never count on meeting an intelligent person is HR. And NEVER count on them as an ally -- they are there for the company, not you. They ONLY time they might take your side is (if they are capable of understanding you) when you explain to them their managers have fucked up so badly, they will likely lose a lawsuit.

    Fuck HR. It is always a pink ghetto.

  15. Re:Dear "gun control" advocates on Using Technology To Make Guns Safer · · Score: 1

    Thank you for asking the correct question which no one else could be bothered to.

    The top is an SKS, a semi automatic military surplus rifle (chinese model). It fires a 7.62x39 round, same round used in the "ak47/akm/type56". The bottom is an ar15, a semiautomatic civilian firearm that fires the .223/5.56x45 round. Both have legitimate defensive and sporting uses. The joke is though, the top gun does not look as "scary" because of the wood furniture. While the bottom one looks like a big bad full auto baby seeking assault rifle, which it is not. Both as of now are perfectly legal to own in the US.

    tl;dr kneejerk liberals think we should ban the bottom one because of looks while the one on the top is ok because it looks like a hunting rifle, but it is just as capable of killing shit.
