I was mostly joking...

"ride-hailing", not 'ride-sharing'
Paid (taxi) drivers, vs some guy who can give you a ride to the airport.

But yes...no reason Uber would not be looking into this. Other than maybe a dubious cashflow situation...

And comparing Switzerland to West Virginia.... I don't even have words to describe how stupid this is.

Well...similar size, lots of mountains, landlocked, and lots of guns.

Yes, they are currently combating, aggressively, the group of dudes that call themselves 'Isis'.
That same group of dudes, will, in a year or two, rename themselves, and automagically align with Iran to fight 'some other dudes'.

They do not care what we call them. They just desire the 'power'. And will go after whatever money is out there to get there.

Iran - Iraq war. 8 years of combat. Now 'they' (for various definitions of what Iraq is now) are supposedly aligned in fighting "ISIS". The enemy of my enemy and all that...

No, but it is one pathway out of several.

Seriously.
Cube farm space. This dude is the most pissed off person I've ever worked with. Pounding the mouse, pounding the keyboard, 'not quiet' grumblings. Once he gets fed up enough (daily), he comes to one of the other of us, and starts bitching in person.

Nothing is good enough. There is always some problem, caused by 'them'. 'They' did this, 'they' are out to get us...
The days (or hours) when he is not in the office are bliss.

You, as a manger.....get rid of Leonard.

"If they're really that determined, they're going to get nukes anyway. At least this way they can use some of that money to fund Isis." (for various values of militant Islamic nutjobs)

FTFY.

For a /. April 1 post, this one is not bad.

As opposed to the rest of the stupidness.

"Stark and rising inequality plagues many countries, including the United States"

Change that to: "Stark and rising inequality plagues every country."
But of course a dig at the US has to be in there somewhere, so...

You fail to understand law talking guy speak

-So the user clicked on our ad. That means he wanted that content delivered.
-And then he clicked in the window again. That means he wanted the next level. So we delivered it to him.
-Your honor, it clearly states, "Click here if you want to exit" (said 'exit' looks completely different to a normal OS 'exit' thingie)

We have the same thing here in coastal VA. Cut down trees for a new furniture store/Walmart/unused business park, and pave over everything...and then wonder why water is backing up into your garage.

It has no where else to go!

And part of their duty is to say to the client: "Yeah...you might not want to do this."

Um...lawyers wrote this.

In the red corner, we have lawyers! In the blue corner, we have lawyers!
Come out fighting. Whoever wins, its a lawyer!

How will the Colonels and GS-15's justify their existence? They must put their mark on it in multiple places.

There should be 3 lines on the proposal:
I need payload weight and size X, in orbit Y.
Can you do it? Y/N.
How much will it cost?

He specifically said no fines, that they have to provide the service as the fine.

And if they don't?
