She would not know, she did not make it.

Why does she need to have made the dish in order to know what is in it? She just needs to know who to ask. And in my experience, regarding peanut allergies and cherry allergies, if they don't know off the top of their head, they've always known who to ask.

Given that she didn't know there was ground beef in the three bean soup, she clearly didn't know who to ask....

You can have me at 9am at the office. Don't expect me to do any meaningful work before 12pm, though. But you may rest assured that I'll be gone by 6pm, because I don't want to fall asleep at the wheel while driving home. I tend to be kind grumpy, too, if you pull me out of bed before noon.

Top management needs to learn that there are more important things than their ego. Like productivity. I don't give a shit about my superior's ego. I don't care whether he needs that feeling that he can dictate my life. If he does, he should get someone else to be his lap dog, I'm there to get some work done, not to stroke his ego.

So you're categorically stating that you'll work a 6 hour day (noon to 6pm) and yet it's someone else's ego that is the problem?

The law specifies nothing of the kind in any jurisdiction that I'm aware of - in the first case, without any sexual intent, local law is in sync with common sense and would not define that as child porn. You also appear to assuming that "the law" is constant, whereas definitions of child porn will vary from region to region.

"multiple-guess"

Maybe no one can pass because they're taking a multiple guess test rather than a multiple choice test.

Actually, since moving overseas I've learned that such tests are only known as multiple guess tests over here. The term "multiple choice" simply isn't used. It could be because such tests aren't widely used in Europe, or it could be British influence, perhaps - I don't know, but I've always found it a bit odd!

Submission + - Slashdot mobile formatting sucks

An anonymous reader writes: Since a few weeks, I am now forced to use the new mobile formatting every time I visit Slashdot with an iDevice. It redirects www.slashdot.org to m.slashdot.org. Besides having a god-awful color scheme, it's an incredibly stupid layout — why show me lists of filtered comments that I cannot click or expand in any way? This place was already on the slide before Taco left, but since his departure, the slide has been unbelievably steep.

This submission is, by the way, of equal quality to most I've seen recently, and likely to be of greater interest to the readers. Mod it up.
