How come proven liars such as Pelosi and Feinstein, and Boehner and McConnel keep on getting re-elected despite all the goddamn things that they have done?
Are the USian voters so damn stupid?
TFTFY
And yes, they are. They have voted against their own self interest more times than not in national elections for the last 40 years.
Which, at today's rates for experienced Software Engineers, is around $100 (considering taxation).
So you work all the time? Sucks to be you.
No, but I value my free time similarly to how my employer values my work time. That's the point. I'd rather not spend it schlepping that box of Tide that I need.
And yes, it does suck to be me, but not for the reasons you think.
Yeah an April Fool's Joke is supposed to be subtle. Not that Slashdot has ever posted anything funny previously but this is seriously lame.
Apparently, double entendre is just too subtle for some people to grasp.
"After all, wealthier people have been shown to drive more recklessly than those who make less money. For example Steve Jobs was known to park in handicapped spots and drive around without license plates." Let me explain this to you. Reckless means an action that puts people in danger.
OK, let me make it more clear, you know, so that you can't take some disingenuous smart-ass dodge like the above...
"...wealthier people have been shown to drive more recklessly and to otherwise act like self-centered pricks more often then poor people." Seriously. Take a look sometime and see which group gives more, as a percentage of income, to charity. According to the account, Jobs was a self-centered prick and should have had to pay for it, at the same effective rate as the janitor who cleaned his toilet. The fines are indeed intended to change behavior. If it doesn't hurt, it won't.

Unbiased news - I am not familiar with that. Could someone suggests an actual unbiased news source?
Fox News, of course. They're "fair and balanced". Right?
Also for the record, I expect that within a year, it WILL increase my monthly internet bill. I've never met a bureaucrat yet that didn't like a few more dollars of taxes collected.
I expect that ISPs will add a "fee" for net neutrality compliance. This fee will have zero connection to any taxes or costs incurred by ISPs -- it will be a hidden price increase and extra profits by ISPs.
Yeah, so what? This is 'murica and the free market rulez. If you don't like your ISP's fees, you can go someplace else. Right?
A million CPUs can crush a single ASIC, yes, but people are running warehouses full of ASICs.
And if they're paying for the space, and the electricity, my army of stolen mining machines is still more profitable. "Anything stolen is pure profit."
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
