  1. Useless and Misleading is a good... on U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder · · Score: 1

    ...description for your friendly Dept of Labor.

    Perfect, actually.

  2. You got what you asked for.... on U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...an overbearing, overweening, unresponsive , unaccountable government.

    *You* elected 'em.

    Think before voting, next time.

    Try holding your fave politicians ACCOUNTABLE for once. Sure, career bureaucrats are responsible, but they are told what to do BY CONGRESS.

  3. It's for "Commercial e-mail senders", not everyone on AOL to Charge Senders for Incoming Email · · Score: 1

    ...although there isn't much to describe how that distinction is made. You would assume it's by the volume of mail sent.

    How would this work with zombie mailers that don't meet the threshold for "commercial e-mail senders"?

  4. Overwhelming a-hole-ness... on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    ...at the company I consult for. What a monumental battle.

    I swore off imperious gate-keepers during the punchcard-FORTRAN days.

    But they're baaaack.

  5. Coercing/convincing/persuading.. why? on Soap Opera for Luring Women to Tech is a Flop · · Score: 1

    A person who is (insert gender/race/ethnicity here) will go into (insert profession here} because they *want* to, not because they're convinced to.

    What kind of people should be in (insert profession here), anyway? Those who need to be talked into it?

    Stupid idea.

    Having Samoans in meat-cutting (because they are in fact "under-represented") is somehow automatically a great idea?

  6. MP3 unavailability on Stanford Classes Now Available on iTunes · · Score: 2, Informative

    The FAQ says that MP3 formats are not (very, widely, ever, etc.) available.

    That's the salient point the parent poster is making.

  7. Whoa!! "Both"? on Both Parties Ignore the Facts · · Score: 1

    Wow, a fundamental mistake. Reminds me of "There are two kinds of people in the world, those that think there are two kinds of people, and those who don't". Typically (here and elsewhere), I see that "liberals" are associated with Democrats, and "conservatives" are associated with Republicans. That in itself is fallacious. Not to mention that if you buy into this, you're being stampeded. Moo. Baaaa. BWilde (something of a Libertarian)
