So the NSA was completely useless before they were spying on all of us? How did they do their jobs before these unconstitutional programs? What an ass.

This. Very much this. I have an EE. I remember when I graduated almost ten years ago Raytheon was one of the bigger employers of engineers in the area (still is). I had friends who refused to work for them or BAE or any of the other defense contractors for moral reasons. Others specifically wanted to be in those companies to contribute to the protection of US lives. Everyone has their own opinion of right and wrong when it comes to defense, engineers are not excluded from this.

What a second, according to the benevolent corporations and their supporters, H-1Bs make the same amount of money as citizens and are more competent, that's why they were hired in the first place! The H-1B system could never be abused in such a fashion! For shame, sir!

Americans had 3D printers for a while. Using them for guns is more recent and became a big part of what made them widely known due to the sensational aspect making the media finally take note. So no, not the first thing we did with the tech.

Advanced? It was fictional. It didn't do a damn thing but reduce vision and cause headaches. "It’s pretty much a living hell... 85 to 90 per cent of my vision is taken away when the VISOR goes on... I bumped into everything the first season – Light stands, overhead microphones, cables at my feet – I tripped over it all... So it’s a sort of conundrum – the blind man, who puts on the VISOR and sees much more than everyone else around him, when the actor actually does that he’s turned into a blind person. Then there was the pain. In the second season, we re-designed the VISOR and made it heavier and the way we actually affixed it was that we screwed it, we literally screwed it into my head and so there were screws that we would turn and there were flanges on the inside that would press into my temples and so after fifteen or twenty minutes of that I got headaches. So I had a daily headache for about six years. Which was also no fun."

News for Nerds, not Geeks. You can keep the sci-fi, I'll take the sci.

You're mostly right. The major brands in North America are crap; but there are some good smaller brands. Taza is great, Trader Joes has some good stuff too, I know there are others I'm forgetting. Fortunately we can get Ritter Sport here too. Unfortunately, most would rather eat terrible quality milk chocolate.

They know almost nothing about me. The only section with any data was the first, characteristic data. And they got my education and politics wrong. Nothing on housing, cars, shopping, economic data, or household interests. I must be doing something right since I'm a heavy Facebook/Amazon/Google user.

We should absolutely punish Kissinger. In fact, that's a good place to start.

So your employer is unwilling to train anyone anymore. Younger programmers are just supposed to pop out of college with intimate knowledge of anything and everything that may have been in production for the past several decades?

I guess it's not too surprising how the "experts" here at /. are either completely dismissing the article or haven't even bothered to read it. Par for the course, I suppose. Some people are lazy and eat crap, this is true. But some of those people look fit as hell or are just skinny. Some exercise and follow a proper diet and are still overweight. To say that obesity is only caused by lazy over-eaters is to deny reality, all you have to do is open your eyes and take a look around. We've had articles for years mentioning the adverse affects of processed foods and chemicals ending up in our food and water, why is it so hard to believe them?

This is not true. Where are you getting this from? My last employer used to walk anyone out who left for a competitor and pay the notice period, then they almost went out of business and only started paying through the end of the day. I can't find anything that states they are required to pay you when you're not working anymore.

I'm still young and I was never under the illusion that work was some higher calling. I've always known it has been about getting by. Truth be told, the few who push the idea that the company is like a family and it shouldn't be about the money have always been older folks. Usually HR and management, of course.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't necessarily think it's cut and dry like that but that's beside the point. I was responding to the AC stating that no matter which way the contract went, it would be unethical to sell stock.

Move that last comma to the right by one word...
