  1. I SAY "TEN to FOURTEEN" in the pen! on Blogger Spurs US Radio Host's Firing · · Score: 1

    If this horrible atrocity had happened anywhere else but in the disgusting racist United States of AMERIKA, this evil white dude man would have gotten several years in jail!

        It's a joke that the US of A tolerate this racism!
    I trust that the good women of this basketball team will be offered the necessary psychological counseling to get on with their lives.
        And I hope that the rest of their lives (including their basketball careers, so necessary in the US of A) will not be affected by this horrendous episode. My heart goes out to them.

    As for the aforementioned racist "sports" announcer, perhaps jail is not sufficient. Perhaps a gang of basketball players or even university students should break into the jail and LYNCH him! (after nappying HIS hair!)

        THAT will teach any man to call women "Hos". Thank goodness we people of colour do not exhibit this disgusting "old white-man" behaviour!

        Make sure this ugly representative of ..uhhh whatever.. PAYS FOR IT! We need to stop this genocidal rape of our brethren!

    Every time I see a bunch of blowhard diatribe against PETA, I wonder, "What's the problem here?"
    why do people get sooo upset at PETA?

    It reminds me of the axe-handle wielding Southern Gentlemen in the 1950s/60s that got so upset with them meddlin' Outsiders tryin' to integrate our schools...

    If PETA IS just a bunch of clowns, why are you so upset then?
    Do you have... ummm, some sort of problem?

    I'm a meat-eater too, but I always wonder why some people go into a rage when certain topics are breached.

  8. Re:IT director? Just tell them, pointy-haired boss on Using Two Monitors Makes You More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Go away.
    You sound like the pointy-haired boss in Dilbert.

      You probably got to be a 'director' in SPITE of the Peter Principle
      I've been using the 2 or 3 monitor scheme for YEARS.
        I tried to convince my (ha ha) director to supply the programmers in my company with a 2nd screen as I had - mine was purloined from a (cough,cough) 'manager' who wanted a bigger screen, presumably for his MS solitaire (He somehow never managed to learn Freecell).
        The director thought this was frivolous, and couldn't understand this nonsense.
        Now I'm 'retired', and still using four screens.
        The company? Textiles. They somehow went out of business, and the president took his millions and retired to Florida, my director (she's a granny, possibly a GREAT grandmother) is retired, and the rest of the staff are probably still struggling.
        So much for North American innovation. Lets continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.

    Well I NOT LIVE in Europe, or the USA for that matter.

  22. I shook hands with her once - on 100 Years of Grace Hopper · · Score: 1

    It was back in the late '60s, or perhaps early '70s.
    I was a COBOL programmer, and oddly enough, working on the ubiquitous payroll system (Was COBOL ever used for anything else?)

    I hated COBOL, and was trying to get into tech support, which I felt I already knew more about than the resident System Programmers, but they seemed to have some kind of corporate tenure.

    So I went to a DPMA (Does DPMA still exist?) meeting in Montreal with my IT boss, at which she was the guest speaker. I was awed, but he (obviously) had never heard of her.
    She was not yet an Admiral, just a Commodore, and her speech was on ... well, I forget what. I asked questions (I forget what) and she answered graciously (but I forget what)

    My only brushes with COBOL afterwards were when, as a Systems Programmer, I had to explain to dolts, that "NO, the COBOL Compiler is NOT wrong - HERE'S where you goofed".
    Not being a people-person, my terminalside manner was less than gracious.

    Huh! After being out of COBOL for 30 years or more, and retired in a state of f*#%ng penury, perhaps it's time I got back into it - but just for the bucks. Screw PHP, javascript and XML -
    This time I'll soak the bastards.
