This site however has a noise-to-signal ratio that means you don't spend several hours working through 15000 comments to find any actual fucking information.
What the fuck are SRD and SRS? People keep referencing them but to a non-Reddit user you might as well be mentioning ZZX or POSKDF or fucking anything.
- their culture is different, as in "Everything is OK!" when actually it's not
I find the cultural issues are the biggest ones.
Timezones even out - the challenge of working in disparate timezones is balanced by the ability to lengthen the working day without directly impacting on the individuals involved.
Now if you think posting devices with hostile messages around a metropolitan area is a good idea, then I have bridge you may be interested in...
About this bridge..
And no, "because it's art" is not a reasonable explanation.
"Because I know it'll piss off small-minded blinkered twats that need to get out of their own arses and accept that other people have different forms of expression" is however a reasonable explanation.
But I live in a country that celebrates being the birthplace of Banksy.
It's funny that my generation is not the one with all the crazy levels of autism claims, and we're the ones that freely played around with mercury in our chemistry classes.
You seem to think there's a link between mercury and autism. Based on your anecdote the link would appear to be that mercury exposure causes autism in offspring.
Or possibly you're being silly. I guess that's possible.
Interesting. In the UK your legal action is far more likely to succeed if you've given the respondent clear notice that unless they address the situation you will take legal action.
Hope you're using noscript, adblock and a disposable VM - you're basically going to a 'certain to be malicious' site and you really don't want to trust that phishing is their only attack vector.
Exactly. The response to the FBI should've been to invite them to ask the law firm why _they_ were violating attorney/client privilege by sending sensitive information to a third party.
Lets see. Join a failed currency and an failing political union, or retain national autonomy and self-determination?
Have you seen the total shit coming out of Juncker and his cronies over the Greek situation? Apparently "protecting the people of Greece" is a 'betrayal' by the Greek PM.
Forgive me for being a retard by preferring to betray the European superstate dream by opting the fuck out.
Yeah. I did some charity work recently that involved standing mostly still for two days. It took over a month for my knees to recover enough that I could walk without limping again.
Standing still fucking hurts. Stand up meetings hurt, let alone a full day in the office.
I can sit in an office chair on the other hand for 70 hours in a week with no ill effect. I shuffle a LOT, which spreads the load and stops repetitive strain.
The company behind that game do state that they aren't publishing plans, and you couldn't build a firearm based on their game, but it's easily got enough information on how designers went from breech loaders to fully automatic that I could translate into a functioning system.
The bit that I don't get is why the Greeks don't create a new currency (call it the Geuro) peg the exchange rate at one Geuro to 400 billion Euros, print one note, hand it to their creditors and _then_ let the currency devalue.
Anybody asking to exchange it for the 400 billion Euros just needs to find someone with 400 billion to exchange - i.e. not the Greek government.
You could argue that it's effectively a default, but in the event of exiting the Euro it's a nice way to finish with a big 'fuck you'.
What's wrong with saying "All medallions expire at the end of the year. Anybody wanting one after that gets its on an annual basis, for $200, after proving they're capable of operating a taxi in my city"
in Pennsylvania you can't have your auto rates increased by filing claims
Why is that? Is there legislation preventing this?
If I file three no-fault claims because other people hit my car from behind, and my next door neighbour files no claims at all, my premium will rise and his will not.
This is because the insurance company has identified that I'm more likely to be involved in an accident, and that makes me a higher risk.
See, we already live in an enlightened society. We don't find racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or other bigoted speech acceptable.
We do however find racist, misogynistic, homophobic and other jokes funny. You forgot the disabled, jokes about the events in Tunisia on Friday and jokes about the bus crash in Belgium this morning.
It's called humour. Maybe you lack it, but you can go fuck yourself if you want the rest of us to abandon it.
To be fair, over 200 tools if you include the stuff that comes with Cygwin.
45 is more than I install but it's not more than double. But it's no different than having to configure a Linux box with all the apps and libraries you want either.

I neither know nor care. The issue is still not copyright infringement, so AC's point is still valid.
I still am. Mmmm, cheerleaders.

Your 'straight out of university' grad is not ten times as productive as the average programmer.
For those rare few, maybe within a couple of years, more likely five. Not before you fucking hire them, which is when you're setting salaries.
Nah, he came to the attention of the rich dickheads because he's a particularly political and artistic vandal.
Or just told not to be bloody stupid and behave in future.
You don't have to charge every transgression of the law. Society can't afford it.

Don't threaten legal action.

Oh wait, Slashdot offers 'Happy Thursday' greetings now?
Can I book one for next week please.
Women clicking on ads for shoes and not on ads for high paid jobs is driving the advertisers' behaviour.
Who are you blaming again?
My understanding is that those are very legitimate questions. The one about his son possibly less appropriate, but the others very pertinent.
The internets suggest Jackson is corrupt, why bitch at someone for explicitly just asking him about it?

Why not?
What's wrong with saying "All medallions expire at the end of the year. Anybody wanting one after that gets its on an annual basis, for $200, after proving they're capable of operating a taxi in my city"
That's kind of how London does it.

What excludes Pennsylvania from this logic?
Who, aside from racists, would find them funny?
The rest of us.

So basically you and your girlfriend don't know a thing about windows or how to configure and maintain it.
That's fine, you don't use it and if it was important for her she could learn.
The rest of the world will keep getting along fine in the meantime.
