I'd hardly call referencing his name in the liner notes of one of the most popular albums of the 90s "marketing". There are some products that are so good that they need no marketing to sell.

I'm gonna pop some books. Got 20 dollars in my pocket. I'm I'm hunting, looking for a COM book.
This is fucking awesome!
No, he's saying that we shouldn't be rooting for companies to fail. What does the world gain from a company like RIM failing to produce great, new products? BB may be obsolete tech, but I'm sure somewhere along the line someone could have done something to diversify RIM's portfolio to keep that company afloat.
At worst, he becomes this generation's Rupert Murdoch.
We the people lost, too: millions in taxpayer dollars for this political sideshow. Probably more millions if there actually is rioting. Not to mention how much money was indirectly wasted by advertising dollars to pay for news coverage of this. But then, I guess it's better than having to report actual news.
Umm 1 can of Mt. Dew is 170 calories. http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/generic/mountain-dew/. Still not great but 700 is a bit off.
There is no need for evidence, it's pretty obvious that if you tell your employees who live 1,000 miles away to either come into the office or quit, a good number of those will quit.
To the contrary, what is the evidence that remote employees perform worse than local? Why do we need more office space and people commuting generating pollution and congestion on our roads?
What industry do you work in and what occupation? I'm sure certain fields are more workable remote than others.
The problem with having it be a "justifiable accommodation for an especially good performer" is that everyone thinks that they are good performers and everyone will think they deserve it. It's either all or nothing.
It's just a way to lay people off without having to pay severance.

I think if you re-read his post you'll find he's actually on your side, numbskull.
Hell, this is as good a summary as any of what you should expect to have learned in college:

What school requires you to learn specifically those languages to graduate? Your requirement of writing an "RTOS in C of a normal off the shelf micro controller" is arbitrary. Can you implement a neural network and a ray tracer? What about the code to solve a differential equation? Maybe the RTOS makes sense for your line of work, but not everywhere. I'm pretty sure basically all CS schools will confer you a degree without meeting that requirement, so why would you expect that of a graduate?
I wonder if the city were to pass a law that it's okay to shoot down drones within 100 horizontal feet of your property, and you shot down a state-controlled drone, what happens?
That's what he was doing.
"According to the indictment, Kazaryan gained unauthorized access to – in other words, hacked into – the victims’ accounts, and changed the passwords, which locked victims out of their own online accounts. Once he controlled the accounts, Kazaryan searched emails or other files for naked or semi-naked pictures of the victims, as well as other information, such as passwords and the names of their friends. Using that information, Kazaryan posed online as women, sent instant messages to their friends, and persuaded the friends to remove their clothing so that he could view and take pictures of them."
The summary makes it sound like he was trying to get money.
