When Unix was united it was called Multics (back in the mid 60's). Now that it's split into multiple branches, it's called "Unix". Logic!

If MS Office died today, people would be switching to Google Docs on droves. And Android is the New Windows.

I hear Somalia is hiring your kind of doctors. (Libertarians should like the place: low tax, small gov't, few regulations, and lots of guns.)

Biden said he also learned from his talks with tech's top CEOs that 200,000 of the jobs that companies provide each year to highly-skilled H-1B visa holders could in fact be done by Americans with no more than a two-year community college degree

So perhaps he can reconcile those two concepts and explain why we allow H1Bs when we have MILLIONS of unemployed college grads?

Mr. Biden, I have a word of advice for you - CEOs lie. And not just a little, but as their primary (and sometimes only) qualification. You might not want to go around repeating the crap they spew to try to sway you to do their bidding. It just, y'know, make you look like a little like a Special Olympics winner, if you get my meaning.

You don't gettit. See, if they documented node.js well, it would no longer have "nerd cred"; it would become Yet Another Boring Framework/Tool with 20 titles out like Learn Node.Js in 7 Days Unleashed Bible Face-First into the Deep End Without Water instead of an elite tool for elite nerds who can master the arcane and obtuse to write the distributed 3D TwitterFace.com and Fix ObamaCare.org in 3 days.

Feminist hypocrites? First time for everything I suppose.

We all know prison rapes don't count. After all, only evil people are in prison to begin with.

Not all sexual assaults are rape. Way to move the goalposts. You work for the FBI?

Nobody expects the....

Wait. Wrong meme.

Looking for tools? Slashdot is the right place.

The rent is too damned high!

Probably. I must be getting too old for slashdot, because I'd rather concede the point instead of arguing until my dying breath over slight nuances of words and corporate governance.

No doubt it was a different time. In addition to few external competitors, the entire world was rebuilding due to WWII and recovering from a decade of pent up desire from the Great Depression.

No. They're more like Ford/Mazda, wherein Ford owned a big chunk (49%) of Mazda. Hyundai owns ~40% of Kia. Not the same company.
