"Low 6 digit number". Cute
Anyone with a UID down the in the 6 digit numbers has been here for at least 10 years, I think the 1xx,xxx was about 2000. That's 14 years of loyalty. Those from the chips and dips era have may 16 years of loyalty, that's pretty much the same.
Sorry, the number zero was an created 3700 years ago, and not in India.
Sorry, but you're wrong, racist, and fat.
"By 1740 BCE the Egyptians had a symbol for zero in accounting texts. The symbol nfr, meaning beautiful, was also used to indicate the base level in drawings of tombs and pyramids and distances were measured relative to the base line as being above or below this line." - wikipedia
So Egypt 3,700 years ago.
"The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol or an empty space for separation is attributed to India, where, by the 9th century AD, practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of division"
So India 1,100 years ago
Sorry, the decimal system was being used in other places than India over 3000 years ago.
And india is hardly a great use of numbers -- paying 10,00,000 rather than 1,000,000 rupees for something. Non standard and confusing.
Gameshows are supposed to be interesting to watch
Really? I watched an gameshow on a US network once. The format was something like this
[commercials]
Previously: [recap asking one question for 3 minutes]
Now: ask new question, guy gives new answer, guy founds out if he's right [4 minutes]
Next: [preview guy being asked more questions for 2 minutes]
[commercials]
And so on. If you trim it down you get about 15 minutes an hour of new material. That's not interesting.
(C) He thinks that being made CEO is a punishment for some mistake he's made in his current job.
Being made CEO of a dead end company with almost no help for salvation that's been run into the ground for the last 10+ years is Punishment
Agreed. For one, I hoped that Microsoft was took over by a woman, which could mean that finally someone who cares about the look-and-feel is in control of the company. By the way, he's Indian, so it looks like it's a normal name there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
And people complain management is never outsourced
Typical short term hedgefund approach to companies - earn us some money now by selling off collateral then we'll dump your shares before they tank. Fucking parasites.
Noo, you're wrong. Liquidity! Trickle Down! Hookers!
What's a fake account?
Given their terms of service your testing account is almost certainly fake. If you only look at it to "like" stuff that you don't even care enough about to do so publicly, its fake, (as is your "like").
I only know a few people with facebook accounts who don't have a second so-called "testing" account, plus a couple accounts they started and then abandoned.
So I'm thinking the 50% number is closer to the mark than the 10%

See how the plural of anecdote is not data?
After hearing the conversations around me for the first time in several decades, I promptly removed it for good. (I have an unreasonable fear that stupidity might be contagious when exposed to large amounts of same)
It's like Facebook, all the time, with fewer cats
Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!
QUÉ?
Well, Russia plus 20 million dollars. Good luck with that.
It's called capitalism. Something the USA doesn't have (you do have corporatism though, like 1930s Germany)
But this has long since ceased to be any sort of technical challenge or accomplishment.
Putting a lander on the moon (or, even, for that matter, a human) is not much of a technical challenge, insofar as needing to do anything other than learn how to properly use complex (but well-known) technology.
The U.S. can't rebuild Saturn V rockets. Hell it can't even put someone into low earth orbit.
Space is still hard.
Ok. So here's a question: it's 2014, not 1965. Which space program would you rather have: the USA's, China's, or Russia's? Which one is having the most success *right now*? Which one is roving Mars? Orbiting Saturn? Exploring interstellar space? Heading to Pluto? Would you really trade even up for Russia's Soyuz? Because it seems like that's about what they have going right now.
Only one way for thee and me to get into space, and that's Russia.
And China of course. India may well be next.
