  1. Re:Bad places to work on Best Places To Work In IT 2010 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes, companies fire people for being gay so they can get sued. I'm also really really sure that your statement with zero context is 100% factually correct.

    You do realize that formatting it in a pdf will get you no job and branded as an asshat? If you don't want to provide a doc, don't send your resume to people that want it in that format. You feel probably that you're too good for them anyway.

  4. Re:If you don't like it don't buy it on Final Fight Brings Restrictive DRM To the PS3 · · Score: 1

    it's more that some idealistic players go like 'boycott', everybody joins the assorted facebook/steam group and Sony trembles


    ... until the game comes out and everyone starts playing it.

    Saying the word shit 216 times no matter in which context doesn't get you killed. Saying Mohammed in the wrong context does.

  6. Re:UK MET-OFFICE on Volcanic Ash Heading Towards North America · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How do the Finnish airplanes fit in? It's all nice and dinky until an airplane experiences motor failure and it plummets down an urban center, right?

  7. Re:Trains are awsome! on Iceland Volcano's Ash Grounds European Air Travel · · Score: 1

    I don't have extensive flying experience, but I have very extensive train experience (work near to the trainstation in Brussels). In my experience with international trains (Brussels - Amsterdam) you can count your blessings if you got place to sit, let alone work. And don't get me started on local trains ... . Too bad not every train is a Thalys.

  8. Re:Trains are awsome! on Iceland Volcano's Ash Grounds European Air Travel · · Score: 1

    True. However, trains are notoriously bad at waiting so people don't miss their transfers (at least here in Belgium). I think that also should be taken into consideration.

  9. Re:Objective done, Sony sales decreasing on Sony Refuses To Sanction PS3 "Other OS" Refunds · · Score: 1

    because the people waiting for linux support on PS3 vastly outnumber those waiting for the exclusive games, right?

    Cost also seems about the same. Go any further than paris or brussels and flying is almost certainly the quicker option and probablly cheaper

    much, much cheaper. and especially much much MUCH faster. And easier to organize

    Charleroi - Budapest with airplane: 2 hours, one airplane ticket
    Brussels - Budapest with train: 15 hours or 20 hours, depending on the route you take. At least two tickets, no way you can reserve them all in one go.
    Brussels - Budapest by car: around 13 hours

    I was replying to an AC who was going on a "USA USA USA" rant - sorry for the confusion. Should have quoted him.

    Yes, pulling out of Europe is a valid option. No customers there.

  13. Re:Tip for those wanting fee refunds on Warhammer Online Users Repeatedly Overbilled · · Score: 1

    True. However, a nice word now and then helps (or you can start by being polite). Remember, those people probably only hear people screaming obscenities (so to speak) at the phone or in their office. I'm not saying you should chat them up, but talking with two words( a rather arcane concept for some people) and a thank you now and then goes a long way.

    (i'm not saying you don't act that way, but lots of people don't)

    well, maybe they are. it's just that the consumers aren't following :p

  15. Re:Is the AI any better? on OpenTTD 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    The illiteracy is more an issue of time management and setting priorities. Computers are for some (most?) people a means to an end.

  16. Re:Yahoo on Journalists' Yahoo E-Mail Accounts Compromised In China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, real journalists use their ISP's webmail (*cough*), their own servers (which can be confiscated) or their friends (also confiscateable). Then you have the possibility of offshore email accounts on an american friend's server (which will get blocked). At least when using webmail, the others have to either break in the servers (like they did in TFA) or subpoena them (which I don't see the Chinese govt. do tbh).

  24. Re:Way to kill a minority dialect on Google Found Guilty of French Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    500 million people is far from a 'minority dialect'. also, compared to english it's just a hard language to learn the basics imo. Good thing most europeans are not like Americans, and don't act all surprised if their language isn't spoken everywhere.
