So you have two independent clauses: "This is a bad article" & "The submitter, editor, and readers should all feel bad."

To combine independent clauses, you usually want to:

- Just put a "." between them, to make two sentences.
- Put a ";" between them.
- Put a "," between them, and then For/and/nor/but/or/yet/so (depending on context).

"; and" is never correct. Either use ", and" or ";".

According to Slashdot, there's no worker shortage at all, & the H1-B program should be cancelled! Who should I believe, the Linux Foundation Executive Director, or various nerds who live in their mother's basement?

Yahoo held on to Jerry Yang WAY longer than most stockholders or common sense would have dictated. Mostly because he and various people he knows owned/own such a large percentage of the company (if not a controlling share).

I have not once wanted to use a scale bar. Really you want to know how long it takes, or how many miles it takes, and it does that. If for some reason Google Maps stopped telling you this information automatically, then yeah I guess a scale bar would be a good way to estimate the same information,

Yahoo was done down by sloppy engineering. Everybody went to Yahoo for first the curated internet and later (when that proved impossible) internet searches, and the internet searches were terrible. Later Google came along, their results actually good, and there was a sudden migration to a site which could actually get shit done.

I don't know if MBAs helped or hurt Yahoo's case, but ultimately they were just swapping deck chairs on the Titanic. There's no possible way a site with shitty search results could compete with a site with good search results.

Meanwhile, here in the US, I'm sitting back, smoking a joint and watching re-runs of "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and "Corner Gas."

I was running OpenWRT on a WRT54GS, but moved and ended up with 50Mbit Comcast (crap) rather than ~2Mbit Sonic.net (awesome! but too damn slow due to distance from CO). If discovered the WRT was limiting thruput to ~12Mbit rather than the 50Mbit I had on the other side of it, so I'm using an Apple Airport Express with stock firmware until I can get OpenWRT setup on a Netgear WNDR3700.

And I thought I was way behind the times when i was still running the WRT54GS. So I guess my question is, is anyone still running that ancient hardware for their main connection?

No, I was just trying to put myself in the head of the wack-a-doodles who think that FB & Google are out to get them in particular, rather than to just make billions of $$$s.

It's a public key. It does nothing to prove ownership. I could easily download any public key from a keyserver and add it to my account.

Can I have your private key?

(Pretty sure you meant 'public key' there.)

What if they show you your public key, but they show others their public key they created to proxy for you, And suggest they mail you at the @facebook.com email address they rolled out years ago?

Yeah, they'd get caught in a heartbeat, and it'd never work in practice, but for the paranoid it might be a worry...

Not to mention that the software that the company I work for is writing (NFV stuff) will put networking professionals out of jobs before too long...

Well, I think of "drone" and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... ] ) as synonymous, and at least Wikipedia there says there are two classes of UAV, autonomous and remotely piloted.

So, I guess it's a question of definitions...

This looks like a bigger, beefed-up version of an Ouya. Android hard-core gaming isn't a thing - it's an interesting device but why would anybody want it? Wait 3 months and just get the UHD Roku, or continue using your TV's Netflix.

What about an autonomous drone which is just flying to certain GPS coordinates and then detonating? Or even just using inertial guidance and image processing?
