Why is IBM throwing people away instead of re-training them?
FAIL, both morally and strategically.
They are admitting listening to their music is torture!
I do take issue with the US Government though, if they wanted to use music to torture they should've used Justin Bieber, and he's Canadian too.
Would've been far more effective.
I am seriously thinking of hosting my parked domains elsewhere simply to stop being a help for Microsoft. Shocked and dismayed to see GoDaddy put mine on Windoze!
Obama is doing what needs to be done because Congress is gridlocked due to "adults" throwing tantrums such as shutting down the government and never compromising and because a large number of people in it are opposing Obama every way they can because he is BLACK!
(Don't tell me racism has nothing to do with it, because it DOES!)
This is why the wealthy live in gated communities
No, it's mostly classism and racism.
How about not harassing engineers at their homes, and instead voting out politicians you don't like and not buying from companies you don't like?
That mayor doesn't represent all the people, is thus not doing the job he was sworn too, and needs to be removed.
Time to start working on an exit strategy.
It's called NEVADA.
Corporate tax rate? 0%
(Employees will also like the total lack of a state income tax for them, too)
Google deployed self driving cars here.
Corporate laws are less restrictive than even Delaware.
They may have a point, but picketing a person's home is disgusting.
Really harms the legitimacy of someone's position, and is a terrible invasion.
Really needs to be illegal. I'm pro-civil liberties, but stuff like that should not be tolerated, and should be a felony for repeat offenses.
Disturbing someone at home because you don't like the implications of the technology he works on or the fact materials for it are mined in the Congo or whatever (bet the protestors own iPhone or use other tech that needs minerals) is frightening. Not only gov't can have a chilling effect!
NYC has the best pizza in the world, and the really big rats are usually on the subway tracks (and they are smart, never saw one get nailed by the 3rd rail in the 20 years I lived there).
It simply means not being a petty, insulting git.
Linus named his source control program "git", was it in "honor" of himself?
The picture was kinda funny.
Stop with the tone policing.
Fork the kernel because he is abrasive? Are you kidding? Look at Gates, Ballmer and Jobs (before he kicked the bucket)!
Believing him moves him firmly into an active threat against the entire free world, and thus should be treated as such, forced out of and not allowed to interact with society since he wants only to see all societies fall and be destroyed.
I'll let him pick exactly how fucked in life he really wants to be, but for his sake I sure hope he is just an asshole that is wrong instead of a force that has done more harm than people we currently put to death for today.
Chill out, we are talking about Linux kernel coding, not Assad gassing people in Syria or Osama bin Laden having attacked the US 12 years ago!
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
