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.
I am filled with a deep sense of schadenfreude as I watch the US drive itself into the ground.
You oughta temper your glee; we go down, we're taking the whole ball of mud with us.
Sure they don't sell bombers and guided missiles, but then if we ever get to that point, there won't be much of a military left for the gov't to use against us, because they are US.
LOL. It is so cute when someone who has never served brings out the "they'll never attack US citizens!!! DERP!" line.
Here's how it goes down. First, the military brass will come up with some disparaging name for the citizens who are the new enemy, just as they did for every other war:
"Haji" is the troops' term of choice for an Iraqi. It's used the way "gook" or "Charlie" was used in Vietnam. "From 'Gook' to 'Raghead'"
Next, the citizens (the bad ones) are depicted as subhuman. (The government will also direct the news to depict the new enemy as dangerous psychopaths, so the average citizen will not join in the revolt.)
Final step: 6-round burst, every time. Change barrels every 10 minutes.
Wait, slashdot is posting a story about lack of "editing, peer review, and proofreading"? That, good sirs, is irony.
Read some recent history. Ask your dad.
No. I ran out on his mother for a reason.
If gals are attacked simply for being female, you'd have a point.
Sorry. The hashtag isn't #yesallmenexceptgmhowell
Glad to see the concept of 'original sin' is alive and well.
They've already demonstrated themselves to be lazy, incompetent, and largely indifferent to security.
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?
You can't fix stupid.
You can fire them though.
Not if they're a GS employee.

So, I guess you want to take away the people's right to choose their own fate.
So, are you coming out as a straight-up anarchist, then?
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.
Be careful for what you wish for, please. I'm worried those "flags" might be doing something inappropriate.
But of course they are.
