If you polish a turd long enough, it turns into a diamond.

Did you try meta-x systemd?

They're really good at outsourcing and cutting employee benefits. Eventually they'll be down to one employee who's outsourced through 15 different countries and actually pays them to work there. Then they'll be the most profitable company in the world!

They'll drop their famous fish division next and try to make up all their revenue in malt vinegar services.

It's not too bad here, as long as you don't offend our corporate overlords. Especially *looks around nevously* The Mouse. A person does not fuck with The Mouse! What was that? They're here! They know! ... Ah no it was just a raccoon.

No, they shouldn't. Are they? Yup. About 90% of them won't even be aware it's going on.

Must suck to live in a country that doesn't have free speech. U mad bro?

That's what I've found, too. I have more luck just seeing if someone will work with a team well, rather than look at their degree status. I'd take a kid with a high school diploma and a few open source projects out on github if I think he'll work on my team well. Unfortunately those are just the sort of people HR usually filters out.

If you're a military, you don't ask what it costs. You just write the check and have the taxpayers sign it.

17" ipad with a detachable keyboard. You know you want one.

Be...cause the kid's parents are negligent?

Yeah. Between vials of smallpox showing up and their handling of ebola, I've gotten the impression that the CDC are a bunch of inept fools. Probably a bunch of cronies appointed in various administrations. You know when a bad time is to discover the people running your organization that's supposed to deal with infectious diseases in your country are a bunch of inept fools? When a disease that's so far killed 70% of the people who've contracted it enters your country. So far we've been very arrogant in our handling of this disease. We've thought we could do it better than some poor-ass country in Africa, we've thought that with the advanced medical technology at our disposal surely it won't kill nearly as many people, we've thought that the improved sanitation available here would help contain the spread, and we've been wrong on all counts so far. It'd be nice if we could start treating this disease with the respect it obviously deserves before 70% of everyone dies from it.

You mean the gigabit fiber the local municipal broadband company is running through my back yard literally right this very second? You know, I'm willing to take that chance.

Yeah! I mean think about it! If you're a patent troll, are you going to get more business by sitting back and hoping someone invents the thing you patented, or are you going to get more business by sending out an army of coders to make SURE something you've patented gets invented? Ah it's such a brilliant idea I should go get a business process patent for it!

You should implement your patented IP and then when you leave you should sue them for patent infringement!
