You either lay-off [identity redacted] and replace her with me, an operator 100x better that she is oppressing....
I fly at least 10x as many places as this loon on 1/5th of the budget,
Unwar*anted perhaps, but at least he's trying to be quantifiable. They should at least give him the chance to show his work in getting those numbers.
I'd like to know how he flies 10x as many places on 1/5th the budget - is he also a travel agent, own a plane, sleep in his rental car? Also how is *she* oppressing him - as opposed to the company? [ Can't wait to hear his justifications for better treatment from his fellow inmates in prison. ]
I just read the dictionary. All the other books are in there.
[ Apologies to the comedian I can't remember who said that first - though it sounds like something Steven Wright would say. ]
Merry Christmas to 65% of you, Happy Holidays to 28% of you and What the Fuck is Wrong With You That You Can't Just Pick One to the remaining 7% -- which probably includes me, sorry. My wedding anniversary is Dec 23, would have been our 28th, but Sue died in Jan 2006, so I don't really feel festive this time of the year anymore.
Already one of Big Cable's best friends in Congress, Marsha Blackburn, who has taken more than $600,000 from the industry, is pushing for legislation....
That's how our political system works. You need bribes, -cough- I mean campaign contributions, to get elected. Once elected, you have to do what your donors want you to do, even if it's at odds with the best interest of your constituents or the well being of the country.
Both parties are doing this, so this isn't a Republican or Democratic thing.
Yup, getting re-elected and maintaining party power is more important than actually governing for the/your people.
As Veronica said in Better Off Ted, Season 1, Episode 4, "Racial Sensitivity":
"Money before people."
That's the company motto engraved right there on the lobby floor.
Just looks more heroic in Latin.
The way I see it, this looks like the smart money pulling out and doing so in the middle of the night as to avoid people seeing the drop, panic selling their bitcoin in response and thus triggering and even bigger drop in the average sell price.
Assuming you can find someone willing to buy your coins while they're also seeing the value drop.
Then you say "username incorrect" or "password incorrect" as appropriate. You generally do the username lookup first anyway so the logic could be short circuited.
And if the mistyped username actually exists, but isn't yours - and you typed your password correctly?
The movie was fine, but full of problems that detract from the story. The best review I've read discussing those problems is 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': The Full Shapiro Review (spoilers). The review also discusses good parts and things that work toward the bottom, but that list is way shorter than the list of problems.
Ya, I'm aware there's more to the expense than the co-pay - I forgot to include that, and the part paid by insurance obviously varies - but the total price paid is negotiated by the drug maker and insurance company and is less than the raw list price -- though our co-pays are often based on that list price. I was simply using the BS/BS and Optima co-pays as references that probably reflect, to some extent, the total negotiated price paid by the insurer.
... while every private insurance provider will negotiate low costs or threaten to drop them from the covered list, Medicare has no choice but to pay whatever the asking price is.
Here's my complaint. After my wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor (GBM) the day before Thanksgiving 2005, she was prescribed Temodar for her chemotherapy treatment. The list price for one month of treatment (literally, one bottle of pills) was $11,000 US. The price using my BC/BS was $1,100 (10% copay) and the price using her Optima HMO was $40 -- and she would have required several months of treatment. If the drug maker can afford to sell drugs at the reduced/negotiated price to those people with insurance, they can afford to sell it at that price to everyone. Anything else is simply greed.
Susan died seven weeks after diagnosis in Jan 2006, having never finished that first bottle of meds. Remember Sue...
A side note about that particular medication. The label warned to avoid handling the pills and breathing any pill dust as it can cause lung cancer. Really nice stuff...
It was a joke web site Larry Ellison put out during the dotcom boom. They had a new company called "heyidiot.com" who's only product was their stock, which could only go up forever.
Meh, hasn't been my experience. I've got close to 40 years of software development experience, but I only list the last ten on my resume, because that's all that's relevant...
I think that's true to some extent for many (most?) positions, but I have about 35 years experience - about half and half software engineer and system admin (on just about everything from PCs to Crays) - and found that my employers liked that I have a very wide breadth of experience to handle just about anything that could come up. For those employers, showing that on your resume helps. In many cases, I'm not trying to complete with youngsters who only know the latest new thing and I offer experience in things they really don't know - like "why" things work the way they do (or don't).
In fact, one of the reasons my first employer, a very small software development company, hired me was because I took LISP in college and spent two years as an undergraduate research assistant doing LISP and Prolog work on a NASA grant investigating automatic programming techniques in LISP. I also ported the Franz LISP interpreter/compiler (written in C, Assembler and LISP) from 4.3BSD (VAX 785) to SunOS (Sun 3). The company didn't do any of those things, but the President (who interviewed me) liked that I studied and did things out of the ordinary while in school.
After leaving a negative review about a hotel in Indiana following a weekend getaway with her husband, an Indiana woman was charged $350 and threatened with legal action, WTVR reported....
On Dec. 15 the attorney general's office filed a lawsuit alleging the hotel violated Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act.
... your company offers actual retirement benefits and/or pay and you will need those, you need to research the company's policies / recommendations about timing. Often it takes a while to get the retirement paperwork processed and the benefits started. This was true at my company and the school district where my wife worked.
As for getting fired for announcing your retirement, any company that does this is (a) stupid and (b) probably breaking the law. I've known several people that retired from my company and my wife's school district and none were treated like that.

When it comes to Thunderbird the need/use for plugins isn't really there, it works pretty well standalone.
True for me; I only use two add-ons in Thunderbird: CompactHeader and Disable "You".
But hey, keep blaming other people for your inability to perform.

I would love to be greeted by a oral sex from every single 20 year old woman that weighs less than 150 lbs. But that is not the issue.
Not really sure that's the best pool of candidates, but to each their own. Merry New Year.

How Do You Avoid 'Information Overload'
Watch Fox News or CSPAN - no information there.
50%: what, Lithuania is a country? other 50%: what, Lithuania is in Europe?
No, it was a British ocean liner sunk by q German submarine in World War I.
... most people find it annoying to have to adjust their clocks twice a year.
Set your clocks ahead one hour, then six months later set them back - so annoying.
Thankfully, there are so many other things we get to do way more often.
OR we could have everyone keep time on their phones and have the phones automatically change the time by a few seconds every day!
This is probably my greatest idea ever.
Please don't tell us any of your other ideas.

Windows Store apps that browse the web must use HTML and JavaScript engines provided by Windows 10.
So all those apps include Windows 10 telemetry?
