One of my biggest issues with corporate culture is the ending to so many disputes where the misbehaving corporation "admits no fault" for the situation.
They should always have to post a "we did wrong" letter after they get shown the door.
Maybe selling ad space to publish "we did wrong" letters can be the new business model for newspapers? They can make it into a racket and charge exorbitant fees for 'our bad' space. Since the companies have been order to post the ad by the courts, they'll have to pay the fees. If they charge enough, they won't even need subscribers.
The way for geeks to survive is to ally themselves with people much badder than lawyers or politicians: professional assassins. For all the power that a lawyer or politician has, they're nearly powerless against a professional assassin. Only the highest-ranking officials get security details, most politicians don't, and I don't think I've ever heard of a lawyer with a bodyguard.
I don't know if this is a joke or not, but the underlying idea is that there are some people who can get away with being scumbags. Many of them happen to also have the ability to screw over large numbers of other people for personal gain without any real consequences. That's a bad combination. I wouldn't encourage anyone to follow the OP's advice, but it has always surprised me that there aren't more people getting shot for the crap they pull.
I took a dump today.. Seriously this is just attention seeking, link bait. If I didn't know better I'd think it was a paid
Was it an open source dump? If not, we don't want to hear about your proprietary shit.
What about open source babies(whatever that means)?
Well... I assume in most cases it means someone had an idea of how a baby should behave, but he couldn't make changes to existing babies, so thought it'd be a good idea to create his own baby, possibly much like many other babies out there, although different because he could make it behave the way he wanted it to. He had all kinds of grand ideas and greatly enjoyed the process of making the baby. But after it was made, he realized that it actually takes a lot of work to keep it running. The baby relies on volunteers to get it going and fix problems - sometimes that happens, other times it doesn't. Lots of people want to do the easy and fun things (like play peek-a-boo), but no one wants to do the hard work (like changing the poopy diaper). Few, if any, are willing to donate money to offset the costs of developing the baby. But they will definitely tell him how to manage his baby. Many are rude in doing so. The whole thing becomes a big hassle and he starts to lose interest in his baby. Eventually the baby ends up abandoned waiting for someone else to take interest in it and keep it alive.

I can't pinpoint it exactly, but the way the phone is being held doesn't seem quite right. Like it was faked or done on a computer. Is this really just a concept video?
The camera is fixed on the phone like they had some kind of brace mounting on his arm. It makes for a steady shot, but it doesn't look natural at all. It looks like a 3D shooter where the view is always centered on the gun.
I also noticed that when focused on the phone, the rest of the world is a blur. I'm not going to enjoy dodging people who are staring down at their phones while walking, completely oblivious to what's going on around them. It would, however, be hilarious to mess with the magnetic field enough to disrupt the navigation and see how many people you can get to walk straight into a wall.
Usain Bolt could put on quite a shoe with those running shows.
In fairness, that typo is in the original article that the summary was copied from.
I thought people ate bad food and drank bad drinks at these so-called tailgating parties. Do they really also throw a ball around?
No. They'd like to, but they are too drunk from drinking bud light and too fat from eating chili dogs to be capable of that sort of strenous physical exercise.
'it's been tossed around more than a football during a tailgating party'
The hell does that even mean? I need a car analogy, STAT.
It's an alogy to help you in case you couldn't understand the previous line: 'The word "cloud" is sometimes overused in IT'. And quite frankly, anyone who doesn't already know the term is overused, and after upon being informed of that fact needs an analogy to help them understand it, really shouldn't be directly in charge of anything IT related.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
