Which begs the question why its not a class action suit....
Begging the question actually means assuming that something is true, in the course of trying to prove it.

I've noticed that guys how program in niche areas (such as computational acoustics) manage to stick with it as long as they want, if they really know what they're doing. Their domain expertise trumps ageism in the job market. OTOH, it's also a small job market, which affects things like where they can live.
I've only had it conventionally roasted. The other methods sound yummy, but perhaps because I live in New England, I haven't had a chance to try them.
I heard the first attempt was with Chuck Norris discs, but they burnt holes through the panels.
I weep that I have no mod points.
Pick any random university and go ask its foreign students how hard it is to get a green card.
I'm reasonable sure Obama just emphasized that green cards aren't important. It's having puppy-dog eyes that matters.
Slashdot, will you please end the fucking obsession with feminist gripes. I'm still at the point where I'll yell as you to focus on things we actually care about. But eventually, I'm sure some of us will simply be done with your Dicey site.
Still, when the NSA wanted access to Google's information, they went for tapping fiber optic cables instead of hitting them with National Security Letters.
Not sure we can know it was an either/or situation.
Over at Dice, there's a discussion
Hell, that's s reason for us not to follow the discussion. Seriously.
Dice-related posts are like diversity hires. They may be good, but people are assuming that they weren't picked for their quality.
Tell me again what this label actually accomplished: Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics
As a parent, it makes me more willing to buy some CD's for me kids, when I don't have the time to personally screen the lyrics first.
A few university set-ups in Germany tried this, (e.g. Hamburg), albeit probably with far simpler specifications as it was some years ago. They had surprisingly frequent problems with birds; birds perching on the towers, birds flying between the source/sink, uzw. Packet loss got enough at one point to contact a local falconer to see if his bird of prey could scare them away. It turned out that the local bakery was too much of a draw. There was whimsical talk of adding a TCP/IP error for bakery janitorial events. I believe they eventually just went with fiber pulled through the sewers
Simple solution: Verstärken die Laser.
Fiber optic is trivial to tap. Almost as easy as analog phone lines.
Anything is easy to tap, at least in the U.S.
Step 1. Mislead a FISA court about the need. After all, those being tapped will never find out, let alone have a chance to contest the evidence. It's a secret.
Step 2. Find some ISP in the communications path, and hit them with a National Security Letter. Because, you know, fuck the Fourth Amendment. Threaten them with going to jail for even bringing up the issue in court. Again, because, well, fuck being the land of the free, since it's no longer the home of the brave.
Step 3. Do whatever you want. If it violates the law, you can count on some combination of sovereign immunity, prosecutorial descretion, and Presidential pardons to make sure you never face justice while on this earth.
I knew it! AC is actually Wolverine!
uh, their name is on the voter rolls at the polling place?
you make it sound like voter fraud is an actual thing.
You make it sound like it's not.
Snide answer: How about getting off your ass and actually going to the polling place to vote?
How do you know the person at the polling place is actually legally allowed to vote?
We could implement some sort of credentialing system.
I don't think Democrats would allow that. It's apparently racist.
