Do you know anything about running a business? In a service industry, people costs are often a huge portion of a company's overall costs. Minor changes in that structure can have major impact on the bottom line.

Even in traditional manufacturing jobs, where a large percent of the costs are tied up in capital and materials, a modest change in employee costs filters through. Just ask GM and Chrysler.

I'd like to be able to set that as a toggle in my search results for apps.

You oughta temper your glee; we go down, we're taking the whole ball of mud with us.

Like others I found the headline confusing. I read it as "Researchers are predicting the use of Wikipedia as a vector for the spread of disease". This may mean that:

• Disinformation and ignorance are diseases.
• Memes and computer viruses are diseases.
• Wilipedia contains information that leads to depression.
• Instructions on Wikipedia lead to substance abuse.
• This is getting entertaining, fill in your own reason here.

Wait, slashdot is posting a story about lack of "editing, peer review, and proofreading"? That, good sirs, is irony.

Glad to see the concept of 'original sin' is alive and well.

Maybe. Or maybe they're just cheap.

Holy shit. First post (that I can see at my threshold) captures things in their entirety. Are you sure you belong on slashdot?

Not if they're a GS employee.

Check out the latest Matt Taibi piece in Rolling Stone about the slap on the wrist the bankers got from the DOJ.

I thought that was a given.

Expect any posts that point to disappeared posts to be disappeared as well, with the account modbombed into oblivion and permanent '-2' status.

But of course they are.
