Comment Darwin award (Score 1) 487

So without any further details, here's how I imagine it went down.
"Oh crap, there's an ebola outbreak and my family is affected! I better fly out there immediately and touch bodily fluids."
Definitely Darwin Award winner here, folks. Plus, lying about it to fly back to the US and putting the entire country at risk should be an executable offense.

Comment They're both wrong (Score 1) 742

Comcast hires a bunch of angry, vindictive, evil employees who can and will act like an asshole 8 hours a day. But did anyone else read this as some asshole lawyer throws his firm's name around to try and scare people with thinly veiled lawsuit threats and then gets fired for it? He ABSOLUTELY deserved it. Last time some lawyer threatened to sue me, I told him where he can shove his lawsuit and nothing came of it. I should have called up his company and tell them what he was doing. Next time I will.

Comment the real problem (Score 1) 293

Hiring departments don't know shit! HR people and managers are idiots! I ran into so many people saying they cannot hire me because I had two 2-year degrees instead of one 4 year degree. A 4 year IT degree is either outdated by the time you graduate or 2 years of general eds followed by my exact education. Then they end up with some idiot they they fire after he screws everything up.

Now you're probably thinking, they should have given me a proficiency or knowledge test. THEY DID! Tek Systems gave me theirs and I beat 80-90% of their worldwide programmers. A grand total of zero hiring departments gave a shit. THAT is why companies are screwing up. They're hiring rich families' kids who could afford a 4 year degree instead of the smartest, best applicant.

Sometimes you just have to ignore the vegetarian, hippie, anti-war, pro-peace, unrealistic, drug-using, unemployed protestor dumbfucks to shup and and stay in Iraq. Too bad Obama felt like he had to live up to that ridiculously undeserved Nobel peace prize. He now caused the biggest, longest, worst war in the last couple decades. Can they take away Nobel peace prizes?

You screw with someone's project, even as a legit security researcher,. and you'll find out that a lot of volunteers in the projects are petty, angry, antisocial morons who do stupid shit like this. Then there's the irrational MS haters who make Apple fanboys look calm by comparison. Then there's the normal, stable, polite programmers like me that stay the hell away from open source because of the afore mentioned assholes.
