    Eugene is the Standard English form of the same name, yes. BTW, I've heard him refer to himself as "Eugene" when speaking English.

    You likely weren't even born yet when Carter lost the election.

    You apparently don't know many actual iPhone users.

  7. Re:That explains IBMs recent move.. on Work From Home People Earn More, Quit Less, and Are Happier Than Their Office-bound Counterparts (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm personally grateful for IBM's shenanigans, since they succeeded in driving away a woman we just hired for our team. She's quite competent, and a great fit for our team and work-at-home culture.

    My employer forbade the use of Skype for any company communications shortly after Skype was acquired by Microsoft.

    It's the same sort of logic that let banks start charging fees for ATM cards as soon as they'd axed all the tellers.

  10. We get that you're oh-so-trendy. Thanks for playing.

  11. Good for your marriage, too--I sometimes think the chief reason my wife hasn't divorced me yet is the fact that she has dinner waiting for her when she gets home from the office every night.

  12. Sounds almost exactly like my own work-at-home story from the last 12 years or so.

  13. Re:A photon is not an "object" on First Object Teleported From Earth To Orbit (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    A photon has no mass, because it travels at the speed of light. Nevertheless, due to energy-mass equivalence, it can exert gravitational effects.

  14. I don't claim that Linux is as good as Windows. I claim that Linux is better.

    Look everyone! APK's responding in the third person, again, hoping anyone with two brain cells to rub together will miraculously not notice.

    APK makes 2 kinds of posts, after all: (1) Posts in which he talks about himself, and (2) Posts in which he pretends to be a different AC talking about him.

    If you feel you have to treat them like actual members of society rather than ignoring them at best and demonising them at worst to keep them from terrorism you should worry less about making them feel good and more about keeping them far away.

    TFTFY.

    There was a time when free software meant people didn't try to sell you shit. Those days are fucking gone.
    Now every motherfucker is on the fucking grift. Even Linux motherfuckers.

    Linux is also shit because EVERYTHING IS SHIT.

    And, of course, there aren't, like, 50 other Linux distros that don't pull this kind of stunt for you to choose from.

    You need to learn the difference between "is a subset of" and "equals".

    You have the freedom to live in a home that's any colour you like, as long as you're willing to paint it or hire someone to do so.

    According to the parent, this isn't freedom.
